    UPDATE (10:07PM): Watching the Fox News at 10 on WRLH - produced by WWBT - and they're now using the graphics package that are currently on WDBJ7, WITN and others. Yes, Gray Television graphics on a Sinclair station. Remember, WWBT has a news-share agreement with WRLH (it started in 1994). Also, Gari's Daily News package is out and the Sinclair News Package (the Curves version) is in! Unfortunately, the 10pm and the morning newscast at 7am (Fox Richmond Morning News) doesn't stream on WRLH's website nor WWBT's.

     

    FINALLY! That's long overdue.

     I'd argue WVEC's largely been left out of the experiment--probably because they learned their lesson the one night they demoed a "different" 11PM newscast live (wish I could find that because it makes all the current experience on the air at the other stations look like 60 Minutes!)

     

     

  3. The graphics/animations themselves look pretty good for Nexstar. Probably one of the better packages they've put out lately.

     

    But that color scheme is gross and looks like a PowerPoint 2007 template. Those two shades of blue do NOT work together.

  4. Vicki Gardner, the lone survivor of the 2015 shooting that happened live on-air while being interviewed by WDBJ, is suing the station.

     

    The $6 million lawsuit claims the station was negligent in hiring Vester Flanagan, the shooter.

    Gray Television was initially named as a defendant, but was nonsuited since they purchased WDBJ several months after the attack.

    As much as I'd like to see how crazy the general public would go watching a similar situation go down in present day...

     

    It wouldn't be as big of a deal. However, there would probably a lot of confused baby boomers.

     

    On the other hand, if you take The Office off of Netflix... oh wait...

    How can you tell the difference between Suzy Nelson and Keri Tombazian? I’ve been having trouble with that!

     

    Keri's voice is a bit more sultry and enunciated. Suzy has a friendlier tone.

     

    It wouldn't surprise me if some of the NMSA entries are mislabeled either. WRC sounds more like Suzy Nelson

  7. A portion of a KING weekend newscast from 1999. Lots of other material on this channel.

     

    I don’t remember seeing this set of KING graphics before... these must have been used for about a year, right before the former Providence Journal stations package.

    WTOC open from 1997 with NewsChannel.

     

     

    And a weekend talent open from the same station included in this report.

     

     

     

     

    Do you have an idea of how long this series of opens was used? Did they have the 2000/2001 Raycom package? That’d be my guess.

    That is from the AirCraft library, which the NMSA for some reason cites as Soundtrack. The AirCraft site also has the long cuts of the pieces from them.

     

    The Visionary is on CD ACL-032 "Image Makers II". Other common tracks from this library are on ACL-011 "Image Makers", like The Leading Edge, News Breakers and Always a New Horizon.

     

    ACL-040 has some political tracks that got used and have NMSA entries, and there are a couple of other 90s tracks I think saw some use in sports.

     

    The AirCraft Library is part of Soundtrack Group.

    I suppose they’ll be the Chet and Nat of Cincinnati.

    Or maybe the Garland Robinette & Angela Hill of Cincinnati...

     

    The main difference, however, between the Dardis/Paolello relationship and that of the aforementioned Garland/Angela and Chet/Nat relationships, is that Dardis and Paolello each have children from previous marriages/relationships (info courtesy of the bios on the WLWT website). So there's that....

     

     

     

    Or how about Vince Gerasole & Heidi Umbhau?

     

     

    Look at how she looks over at him at :16. Awww.

     

    They’re still married.
