I'm impressed that he is still willing to be a reporter after that kind of experience. Most would be wary of being out there in such a vulnerable way.

wabc reporter attacked in the street by a man wearing those old school hockey masks and was pushed to the ground by the said crazed man https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=615490898645994 plus there's video and the gavone reveals himself

It happened back in 2013. There were four attackers two 15 and two 16. Edit: It's probably completely unrelated and just a random drunk on the street. But it still need to be taken seriously. This is a reason why I think constant social media is crazy — especially if the reporter or photojournalist identifies where they currently are and are going live. The live truck, camera and lights already bring out the local crazies but social media brings it to the world. I feel the same way when a reporter or anyone in particular posts a picture of them on vacation and how long they're gone. It's an invitation to be robbed. I'm still upset that this happened and hope the suspects are caught. But sadly I think it may not be a high priority.

Have any ex-MG stations had their domains changed yet? I also wonder what the graphics and website design will be going forward, since Nexstar has inherited LIN Digital. Will they change their other stations to the MG template, or will it go the other way?

Correct, the networks together are down that much as a whole. Regardless, the writing is on the wall and the ratings next year will be down too much to nitpick who is down 13% or who is down 3%. It's a trend that's been going on for over 35 years when rating of 30 was the norm

Get a room!

There was a manhole fire adjacent to studio side of the building at the end of last week. It damaged some underground wiring and sent smoke and nasty fumes into the studio. Airing out, cleaning up, checking electronics probably takes a while.
