  2. God I hope not.. their domain names are stupid and in some cases pathetically long... using the station call letters is easier to remember than patheticallylongandridiculousdomainnamefirst.com

  4. That will not go over well in that newsroom. In terms of content, a live 11pm will be almost no different from the rerun of the 10pm. I don't really see much point.

  5. Unfortunately many ethnic groups find the "W" and "K"s in the FCC call signs to be offensive. One "K" is only 2 more ""K's" away from KKK. The letter "W" is considered "code' for White or White people. This is why you see these long local web names filled with platitudes. "ilovemylocalsandiego10news.com" just makes one feel so much better inside as we start our busy day.

  6. Did I hear Cronkite? Fun fact: RTM was initially produced at the facilities of the Cronkite School in Phoenix. After the first season, it moved to the Ahwatukee area of Phoenix. Its producers, MagicDust Productions, are best described as 80s/90s KTVK's spiritual successor (at least at the top — if the name Phil Alvidrez rings a bell, you immediately get the idea) and are stocked with ASU grads and Phoenix TV vets. (For the locals: the facility is on 48th Street between Elliot and Guadalupe, but it's primarily home to insurance offices)

  8. Man that's cruel. Like, I read the entire thing and saw what he was getting at towards the end, but evidently it never clicked in my head. April Fools jokes on March 31st should be illegal.

  9. I usually try to find the newest material, but today, I'm making an exception and going a little further afield than usual... (At 3:58 in the last video: Uncle Murph!)

  10. Thought I put these series of videos on here because I love Colombian TV news and have been since 2012. As you know, Caracol and RCN are the main broadcast networks in that country and broadcast extensive national newscasts throughout the day and into the weekend. First off, an open montage of Noticias RCN throughout the years: Next is the current opens that they use. Just like how WGN had a different cut of news music for its package, RCN used a different color theme for each broadcast except the weekend editions. These opens are from 2014 and they still use them today: Finally, the news source I prefer watching, Noticias Caracol. This is a open/close montage of Caracol through the years: BONUS - A close of Noticias Caracol from 2012. This was the year I started watching Colombian TV news: BONUS - A close of Noticias Caracol with Caracol's programming style/current look afterwards from 2016: For the record, both air weekend news from 12:30-2:00 and 7:00-8:00pm. On weekdays however, Caracol airs more. Caracol goes from 5:45-8:30am (compared to 6:00-8:30am on RCN), 12:30-3:15pm (yep, that long while RCN is only 12:30-2:00pm), 7:00-8:00pm and 11:30pm-12:00am (same as RCN).
