Yep. As long as Scripps doesn't change it to Tomorrow's TMJ4

Good riddance. A brand that shouldn't have lasted past 2004.

TMJ4 dropped the “Today’s” from their logo on Twitter.

It definitely was at it's nadir when Silverman was there. But several of the shows he greenlit including Hill Street Blues began to thrive when Grant Tinker and Brandon Tartikoff took over. Semi-related was the implosion of SNL at time, with Lorne Michaels leaving and Jean Doumanian replacing him. Only Eddie Murphy survived the total recasting, and Al Franken lampooned Silverman in the infamous Limo for a Lame-O monologue, which cost him any chance of helming the show. The death knell was Charles Rocket dropping the F-Bomb on air which got Doumanian and most of the cast ousted. And perhaps the most infamous piece of Silverman's tenure was this.... (As an aside, broadcast tv has fallen so far that any network would kill to have an 18 rating/14 share these days)

With CBSN Philly, is there a possibility that the CW Philly's 10pm could be replaced by a local CBSN Philly rebroadcast (similar to WLNY and WSBK)?

Yes, they are. And it's about dang time, too!

LOL. I agree LEX

the only network campaign of all network campaigns that got enhanced by an epic parody. Ever. And to have it aired on Imus in the morning back on WNBC radio at that time. Mind you it was meant to be circulated to just network staff + local affiliates on cassettes as a joke for holiday parties. I would be remiss not to mention the real jingle had the late, forever great Luther Vandross on the leading vocals.

CTV: Toronto Global: Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton Citytv: Toronto TVA: Montreal Global previously had some sort of exclusivity agreement with CTN across the country, including Toronto. (Backstory: Global got 2 choppers for Toronto- one for Global TV, one for CHCH. When CHCH was sold to Channel Zero, they had to give up the helicopter.) Within the last year, Citytv Toronto signed on with CTN, and now they have helicopter traffic during Breakfast Television. I am not sure if Citytv uses the CTN helicopter for news gathering like what Global does. Also Global/CTN had a helicopter for Global Winnipeg/CJOB-AM for a time. That was grounded a few years ago, not exactly when.

ABC News has suspended Matt Gutman for his big erroneous reporting on Sunday's tragic helicopter crash which he said that all 4 of Kobe Bryant's kids were killed.

Swing...and a miss. Oh well, some things were better left undone. Audition may be a good tool, but it can do it's evil too. I wonder how Northeastern & Central Pennsylvanians will react to this....would this be much worse than losing the theme entirely? Let's go to Talkback 16...

You were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you didn't stop to think if you actually should.

Having one of the vocal "ooo"s at the end would've been

Oh boy

If anyone ever thought combining that god-awful C-Clarity with the WNEP National Anthem was possible.... You're welcome. mctyw tegna_mixdown.mp4

The only executive ever in the industry who ran ABC, CBS + NBC in a television landscape that was run basically by those aforementioned networks has passed away thursday at age 82. Fred Silverman was also a TV Producer with a life only some hotshots could only dream of. Who knew the infamous 'rural purge' could lead to programming greatness? I could list a slew of hit shows he launched but I could list some bombs as well. (Hello, Supertrain, Pink lady + Jeff?) Deadline explains it all below. There aren't many of his like out these days, let alone any executive. Godspeed, Mr Silverman: https://deadline.com/2020/01/fred-silverman-dies-legendary-tv-executive-producer-was-82-1202847035/
