Incomming Rant... Can NBC please stop forcing/tricking guests who clearly don't like nor want to be with Megyn Kelly on her show? If I were MK, I would rather have no celebrity guests that day or maybe interview a politician or newsmaker or fellow journalist about current events instead. There's too much celebrity stuff and it's clearly not in her wheel house and now it's causing PR issues. I defended the Debra Messing thing on Monday cause it was only a joke, but I can't defend the Jane Fonda debacle today. The producers and/or MK clearly did not vet the Q's cause Jane seemed like she only wanted to talk about her movie. After this week, what Hollywood agent is going to put their clients on MK? It's better to have no guest or guests that actually don't mind being there instead of guests who look forced to be. NBC needs to tone down the celebrity gaga that MK is clearly not comfortable with and have on more news making and yes, political guests. How is it that "The View" can do this but not the woman who made a name for herself interviewing politicians and newsmakers. Politicians are used to interrogating like questions, not celebrity's who will bash you later on Twitter. I really do see potential in the show but not if they can't utilize MK's strengths. End Rant.

You could just put the full newscast on YouTube, as they'll let anybody upload anything. They don't even have that 10-minute limit anymore.

:53 seconds to say good bye after 20 years of service... He deserved a lot more time. And to add insult to injury he has to toss back to the lady that was in diapers 20 years ago. Good luck Drew...enjoy the normal life.

I chose Vimeo for several reason - mostly, I have better control over the content (quality, access, etc.). I've seen too many cases of entire histories of newscasts gone when someone gets kicked out of YouTube over content. Plus, I'm fed up with the ads all over YouTube. I'm paying for the hosting, so I can better manage the content. If a question is raised, I can address it, rather than having a flat-out ban. It's content I can control (in that it's stuff I recorded or was recorded specifically for me), and I feel that Vimeo provides the best option for my needs. Plus Vimeo flies a but under the radar, whereas YouTube is more "in your face". I'm not trying to monetize anything - just want to make the content available to fellow enthusiasts. (Plus if I dumped everything at once, there'd be a giant productivity loss from y'all!) Jim

KPNX weekend 1994 from ewjxn: And he's also got some WXYZ in there (when exactly did they debut those graphics, it was definitely between Dec. 1995 & May 1996)

How bout clips from florida? (enjoy your business trip)

#MeanwhileInOrlando... Obviously, with big Billi making himself at home here, Fox 35 has gone whole hog with with being WSVN Central Florida, slogan, teases, studio setup and all. But with transforming into "The News Station" of Orlando comes a different sound. This is today's 5:00 open; you can hear the bumper cut with a peculiar SoFla influence. But if you listen closely to the open... SOUNDS like Inergy. But it isn’t. And the 6:00 open has that unmistakable rock sound. Could this be the long-rumored Stephen Arnold Fox package everyone's been talking about? (As you can also hear, they still use the OSI pack. On a related note, I messaged Big 13 today about them possibly going back to Impact. From what they tell me, they have to toe the line, Skytower and Phoenix be damned)

I noticed the change also, highly unusual and no mention of why the change. It happened about 12 minutes into newscast.

Does anyone have any details about how WGN managed to get rights to air the Bears/Vikings game tonight? The only info I found was a corporate release.

Here's more rare KOAT in the 1980s. It includes a news close using "Where You Belong" by TM Productions at 4:32 and a news open from 1983 at 4:54. The open from 1983 features an unknown news theme.

From November 8, 1974, here's KOB-TV's Eyewitness News with the Tom Sellars Action News Theme:

In 1994, KPNX was the only Phoenix station not to change affiliations. This is how the station promoted its bond with NBC at the time: And here are a couple of KNPX updates/teases from that period:

Meanwhile back in the penthouse executive dining room at NBC's 30 Rock...We hear a collective...... "Oh Fu#k...what just happened?" Not a good sign when a "company friendly" guest goes "off reservation" like that. This won't be pretty.

Last thing from Phoenix for a while - I think I've gotten everything I can for the near term... (I'm also on a business trip for a week, so I'll be posting pre-uploaded content through early next week...) KPHO April 1994 - Fresh News! [MEDIA=vimeo]237486605[/MEDIA] Jim

Do you have videos from other markets?

It was just an awkward comparison to Fabio.

Giangreco is on Cubs duty, so he couldn't do the parade.

Some WFIE promos with News One at the beginning, this was the first generation with said package.

AFAIK, ESPN regularly offers the MNF games to the highest bidder whenever the game can't air on the ABC O&O (because Dancing with the Stars is more important for ABC.) That's why, if the Bears have a MNF game in December when DWTS is over, the MNF game will be on WLS. Otherwise, it gets sold to somebody else in the market, typically WGN, WCIU, or WPWR.

Why are you even posting there to begin with? Why not just use YouTube? (As far as I know there isn't a limit on how much you can upload....)

A follow up on this one, Kozak's final day at WMC-TV was September 24th. Replacing him on weekends is former WTOK weatherman Nick Gunter, who was recently hired by the station.

From December 16, 1980, an intro from WAVY-TV before The Daily News. The theme is an instumental track from NBC's infamous Proud as a Peacock campaign:

Overexaggerated... It's either exaggerated or not. Overexaggeration is not a term.

YES! Every night they open with "breaking as we come on the air tonight" and every storm is a "monster storm with millions affected"

Jim, if you have KTVT's special about the switch to CBS... Please post it. Thanks.
