It’s somewhat amusing seeing all the people keeping tabs on every single thing that goes wrong in the program. Geez

I bet NBC hopes he just drifts off ..and becomes a tropical depression..... But...what if ??? he gets bigger and Bigger and Bigger and Bigger and becomes Super Storm Glenn ??? Why is it so windy in Philly??? Cuz WCAU Sux!

Have you broken the news to Lieberman yet??? He will be crushed.

I just asked ewjxn what KPNX newscasts will be uploaded yet, seeing what he says... Update: He is out of town, but he said he does have about maybe three coming up next week.

It's almost too syrupy for Beau Weaver, but I think that's him. Also, Carns and Powers on a Sunday night (that's May 1, 1994 BTW)? Very curious indeed. Did KPHO run their main anchor pairing Sun-Thu? ——— I figured it's worth noting just how much Arizona material we've gotten just in the last month. It's like a laundry list. For KTVK, we got some material from as far back as 1981 and additional newscasts. We cleaned house at KPHO and identified no less than three unknown generations of opens and two new NMSA entries. (The "News 5 Theme" from 1981-86 is really, really good!) The Visionary was a total surprise, and Fresh News was long awaited (and finally put in its proper time slot). We even got to see the Arizona 5-Minute News for the first time. It really struck me how, through 1994, KPHO was constantly a couple years behind the curve. No wonder they were having trouble in the early '90s — had KNXV Fox 15 News been able to go ahead as originally conceived, KPHO's news would have been blown out of the water almost immediately. The KTSP/KSAZ material wasn't all new, but we finally got some vision on The Vision era — though I am going to be fiending for that image campaign. (Another excellent theme — and something I'd been waiting years to see.) And anything relating to the affiliation switch is gold to me. For KPNX, the 1992 theme open finally showing up was a surprise, but the Real News search is on. Additional material from some eras of KPNX that don't show up often was a nice treat. As for KNXV, the vintage promos and stuff are nice, but the only meat and potatoes KNXV I want to see is from 1994. Someone has to have recorded that first newscast — 43 stories in 33 minutes!

So here's another KSAZ halftime promo pack, featuring the mysterious Aerial as well as the current KSAZ primary theme (during the Monday news teaser): This one does have the matching *open* as a sample:

The Arizona fest continues with some clips 1992 from KSWT: And a KYMA ID from the same period (with a news clip at 29:04) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=FgHgdvdQgdo;m=21;s=18

Here is rare WTEN news footage focusing on a snowstorm that hit the area in 1987. News open is seen at 0:17 into the video with ID at the beginning.

No it won't. See: WPXI's 10PM News on WPGH. Sinclair, for all its faults, doesn't want to mess with a good thing.

Well, to be specific, it's not an expression. That's the point. Don't join a news forum if you can't understand basic colloquialisms.

LOL i think he figured it out. Oh yep just checked his site

Or they could just blow all your minds ...and when you wake up you will have "2 Daddy's" or "2 Mommy's" anchoring. Maybe even toss in a new "Gender Fluid" sports person. How about some "blended" house pets?

This is a terrible situation with the loss in life of these brave experts. Yes...Experts... You see only a handful of experienced and trained tower crews are left out there. With the upcoming 'repack" there is a giant shortage of crews trained and available to do the high tower work. The repack may be delayed/ extended due to crew shortages. Bless those workers and the families.
