That’s exactly what I meant.

I noticed Sam is on GMA this week and not filling in for anyone. Has he still been on the 10am newscast?

France TF1 + Netflix = A huge landmark deal starting next year will see TF1's live TV channels and on demand content from TF1+ to appear on Netflix. This could be the start of a huge trend worldwide. https://about.netflix.com/en/news/netflix-and-tf1-group-join-forces-to-bring-tf1-to-netflix-members-in-france

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh okay. I got confused. I think he meant 4 am-7 pm, outside of GH on WABC-TV, all coming from 7 Hudson Square. Yes... that is true.

I'm guessing OP didn't mean live tapings in that window, just that the shows that air then are all from that building. GMA3 isn't live at 1, either, if we went by your thinking.

This is the WABC thread.

I'm not sure why the level of surprise here. One of the many reasons for the new building was to provide more studio space for shows originating from NY whether live or taped. It's not unique. Out of 30 Rock right now (which will change somewhat at the end of the year with the Versant spin-off) shows include from NBC: Early Today, Today, NBC News Now (most of the day and early evening), Kelly Clarkson, NBC Nightly News, Tonight with Jimmy Fallon, Late Night with Seth Meyers; From WNBC: TINY, News4 at 11, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 11, New York Live; From WNJU: Noticiero 47 Telemundo Primera edición, Noticiero 47 Telemundo al mediodiá, Noticiero 47 Telemundo a la 5:30, 6 and 11; From MSNBC: Way too early, Morning Joe, Ana Cabrera Reports, Chris Jansing Reports, Katie Tur Reports, Deadline White House, The Beat with Ari Melber, All in with Chris Hayes, Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell and the 11th Hour with Stephanie Ruhle. MSNBC shows originating in DC may still use 30 Rock facilities for live/taped interviews during those shows. This does not include weekly shows like Saturday Night Live and Dateline.

North Platte is the smallest market that still puts out newscasts of their own. Even Alpena has largely ceded their news to Traverse City and Sinclair, with just a short local blip in the "B" block of their 10pm show. What's the smallest market with an all-local operation these days? May be Victoria, TX since Presque Isle's WAGM now simulcasts WABI's morning show from Bangor. The buyer of KXGN would likely turn them into an affiliate of all 4 networks, much like WBKB in Alpena. Surprised Morgan Murphy hasn't taken the plunge..yet.

Yesterday evening, Veo7 relaunched on DTT, replacing Gol Play.

It seems he still appears on the 10am but it seems lately the days vary. It used to be Tuesday Wednesday Thursday, but I’ve seen him on Fridays recently too. I have not seen him on the 6am hour of the morning show in quite some time though, and his picture was removed from morning newscast video thumbnails.

RIP to the Glendive market.

KULR is basically ran, news wise, from Missoula and Spokane (in WA). Evening news now comes from Missoula and morning news comes from Spokane (but is marketed as local). It’s been a bare bones operation for a handful of years and is getting worse by the year. KXGN is going to be a repeater for its new buyer, most likely.

40 years ago yesterday (at the time of this post)... June 17th, 1985 at 3:00 p.m. ET:

WNBC 4 Gilma Avalos subbed for someone at TELEMUNDO47 last week They're integrated already side by side

Like in the early years of the Times Square studio era, I wonder if "GMA" will incorporate an outdoor concert series on the rooftop of 7 Hudson Sqaure sometime in the future. Of course, with more space limitations than in Times Square, it would need to be intimate, but I feel that it would be provide the program a great opportunity to showcase some of the gorgeous sights from that roof of Lower Manhattan.

That's quite something! The Walt Disney Co. will certainly be getting its money's worth out of that production facility, to say the least.

I did some research... according to this website, TVTaping.com, Tamron Hall tapes her show at 8:15 a.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. In other words, there's a 2-4 pm break, I assume. https://www.tvtaping.com/tvshows/tamron-hall

Another thing I noticed, on a positive note, is that when Haley Meier fills in earlier during the day, they're now having fill-in hosts (notably Ari Sarsalari) fill in on Fox Weather @ Night, rather than skip that program all together.

Without question, sets with very little physical elements are the future (whether it's at the national or local level). I think in GMA case, more tighter shots and less wide shots would lessen the studio's cavernous feel. Plus, leaving certain pieces in place (chairs, tables, etc... instead of moving them in/out) would help create some depth. Kudos to them for adding some plants, but a painting, a credenza (or two) and some vases wouldn't have broken the budget...

I will say ESPN's video wall sets are way better done than anything on network or local news.

Is it possible they're both off this week? Ratings have been solid/stable, so there's no reason to get rid of them. Missing premiere week of the new studio may be 'suspicious', but it could be mean nothing at all....

Maybe a Billings owner like Cowles could step in and tie it to KULR?

Had the same thought... The legacy of GMA pre Times Square was feeling suburban. The original living room set. I get having the NY skyline in the set itself, making it central to the open feels like it's a local NY show. The set itself is a beautiful upgrade, feels like a Soho loft which I guess is the concept they're going for, though almost feels like when you first move in and the furniture hasn't arrived. It could use more furniture and elements to break up the cavern and have cozier feeling shot options. Home base is great - warm, professional, not distracting. They've become more like the layout the Today show used for decades - news desk, NY centric. When Time Square started the two living room chairs were home base, and evolved to be a desk sometime before Charlie left.

Just saw the first promo with his image and name included alongside Shirleen, Brittany, Sam and Heather’s for 4:30-7am. These same promos did not include him earlier this week. I guess that makes it official.

I am hoping that Scripps (yes, them.) would aquire KXGN-TV to fit in with the Montana Television Network.

WBNS 1988 weekend newscast. The set was short lived and replaced shortly after this. Current WFLA anchor Keith Cate at the anchor desk:

Ian is likely on Paternity Leave… Steve Bender might just be on vacation?

Two departures in the Harrisburg/Lancaster/Lebanon York, PA market, both announced today (6/17). Anne Shannon is leaving WGAL, after 25 years with the station. Her last day is Friday. https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1287192696306556&set=a.253106666381836 Also, Jasmine Brooks is departing WHP-TV for what appears to be a job in another market (Philadelphia perhaps?). Her last day is a week from Friday. https://www.facebook.com/JasmineCBS21/videos/1081628803818139

Yeah that is a cool effect, taking cues and probably tech from the Depth Wall on ESPN.

Eva Pilgrim presented a report in the 7:30 half hour this morning.

Sadly, that's just time just getting away from the model that morning news, local and national, should just start your day with light fare and very short mention of the crime roll, including a softer theme. Once the Fox/Tribune morning news model became standard, the calm model has disappeared to get you out the door like a triple Red Bull shot (remember how their ESPN counterpart Get Up had the original slogan of 'get up, get sports, and get going'? Has not been that way for years), with the light themes all but gone and just as aggressive as they are at 6pm. It was clear when Kimmel switched from a structured duratrans background to a full screen, along with ESPN's digital center that this would be the future for all set design; less physical pieces, more screens. But even though it was from my most loathed segment, I do love how it's possible to frame each screen in the background to make it feel fuller, and create space like seen below.

Because I did see some confusion to the purpose of the video threads, and to what would go in where, I decided to lock the current threads and begin new ones. There are two clarly defined threads; one for videos made before the year 2000, and one for those made after the year 2000. Why the cutoff there? Because a lot of users *do* see the 1990s years as "classic" at this point, and generally most stations have established their looks around 2000 or a few years thereafter. General legal reminder: We do not assume any responsibility for any action taken against either you or the poster of the video. You post these links at your own risk, so be aware of the consequences. These threads are provided as a service for people who want to know the newest classic finds posted on the internet as well as those who generally want to see how a station presents itself nowadays.
