Part 2 is even more worth the watching: a full tour! The set is aesthetic as all get out, too.

The very final KIRO newscast before their ill-fated “News out of the box” format kicked in later that day:

Great article on how news out of the box all went down https://mynorthwest.com/545326/remembering-seattles-news-out-of-the-box/

I've only seen service marks/trademarks in station branding in that particular instance as well as with the "Where the News Comes First" slogan in recent years (as seen on KCRA).

It's been established that the new look is only for football broadcasts.

My rule of life.. Don't speak ill will about the dead. Although Gayle has received so much flak about the interview. Overall, she apologized and realized there were mistakes associated with this interview. CBS wanted those particular clips thinking it would garner ratings but instead ignited a heated conversation with regards to the rape allegations and such. It's very disappointing that Lisa Leslie was put in a uncomfortable position to question her friendship with Kobe thus them playing in respective LA franchises within the NBA & WNBA organizations.

I’ve come to the conclusion that you’re completely in the wrong. Once an interviewer asks a question and a response is given, how is it journalism to say “well you wouldn’t know him in those situations, would you?” Give me a break. I respect journalists as much as any other person, but I’m also not so dense to understand a journalist pushing an agenda with their questioning. The interview that was not even about Kobe Bryant turned into an attempt to bait his friend into wavering on her view of his legacy. When Leslie gave her answer, what reason does Gayle have to challenge that and suggest that Leslie wouldn’t have known the real him? If you want to call that journalism, then at least deem it tabloid journalism. Is it fair or journalistic to present a question with the entire context of the situation? Including the changing stories, contradicting claims by the accuser, lack of physical evidence, etc. My opinion, there are instances where people are falsely accused. It’s egregious to assume that all men are guilty and all victims are truthful. I don’t think that it’s hard for women or others victims to share what happened to them in today’s society. Stop being so naive. Oprah Winfrey herself has a history as a journalist. For the better part of 3 decades, she has been a talk show host with little journalistic value. The absolute same goes for Gayle.

Ira Joe was WABC from 1983- August 1985 because he got tired of being a 2nd man to Storm Field, wanting more to do, and they let him go from his mllion dollar contract early (due to end in 1986). He went back to WKRC (where he was before WABC) for three years until his show (The Ira Joe Fisher Show) was canned in December 1988. Ira Joe Fisher returned to the Big Apple at WNBC in May 1989 to do fill-in work for Linda Church, who was on maternity leave. That stretch ended up being through April 30, 1995, when he jumped shipped from WNBC to WCBS. At WCBS he ended up being in multiple roles, including being kicked to the mornings and afternoons for Mark Danon, which went well till he ended up being busted trying to buy a gram of cocaine. David Rogers from WKYC replaced Danon. Ira Joe's contract at WCBS was not renewed in August 2002 after being kicked back to mornings from noon in favour of Janine D'Adamo, and some idiot on the radio decided to duct tape himself to a utility pole in Carteret, NJ just off the Turnpike as a stunt to help get Ira Joe work after his contract was renewed.

The only mark I've seen, and it's only been recently, is when KXAS displays their (IMO unnecessary) tagline, "Texas Connects Us", underneath the title of their newscasts during each open. The mark is next to the tagline, not next to the station logo.

You mean a registered service mark? It does seem odd, though. Station logos usually don't have trademark or service mark (registered or not) on them, so that seems odd.

Gayle is getting a lot of backlash. for this https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2020/02/05/kobe-bryant-gayle-king-sparks-outrage-questions-rape-charge/4672566002/ My question is... Why didn't Gayle (and everyone in the Media) question Bill Cosby In 2012 and 2013 and before and bring up prior accusations against him? Cosby allegations of rape and sexual assault had been well known and documented for many years before it exploded in 2014. Remember he settled a civil lawsuit with 11 women in 2006. There was also the women who accuse him of sexual assault in 2000. Why wasn't anyone talking about that until it resurfaced in 2014 (and 50 more women came forward to accuse him) and then acted shocked like they had just heard it for the first time?

This. Some of these might see changes next year, but this is the bullshit we'll get to look forward to. Yikes.

I'm a fan of the new look overall. The previous look was too bland and did not present the energy that you think of when you think of Fox. The touchdown graphics are definitely huge but do the trick if you're watching in a bar and not directly in front of a screen.
