It wasn’t a Pannoni channel but I cannot remember it for the life of me. All of a sudden I had a bunch of gray boxes on my YT favorites on my TV. I’ll find it and edit this.

And unfortunately the ban hammer got dropped on this channel. I need to start saving these videos! He had a bunch of older Super Bowl Pregames on his channel!

How many compilation videos of local news opens especially the major market stations from NYC, LA, and Chicago have any mention of every channel they took clips from? Nearly none. And I bet 90% didn’t ask permission either. I think Drew Techner is just sore about it and doesn’t get the nostalgia purpose behind it. He doesn’t make money from it and nor do I. Also my Publix Holiday Commercial Mega Montage made it to a couple of newspapers recognizing its nostalgia to Floridians. Publix’s marketing team never had a problem with it.

So I sporadically make videos on my YT channel (Jerseyfla). I have a lot of playlists on my YouTube channel that are public and private. I specifically made one for different TV station sign offs from areas that I have lived in my life and military career. Recently, I decided to make a nice piece of “nostalgic ASMR” if you will, something TV junkies can go to bed to, and create a montage of those TV station signoffs from the different regions I have lived with a title slide saying “It’s Bedtime In ________. Let’s Signoff”. I didn’t credit the YT channels I captured the material from by name, just saying “Credit to the YouTube Channels who posted these sign-offs. This video is intended for nostalgia and fair use. No copyright infringement is intended.” Last night Drew Techner who posts a bunch of TV and Radio airchecks from Philadelphia and NYC commented on my Long Island and Philadelphia Signoff videos with time stamps that I stole signoffs from his channel. I commented back stating that him accusing me of stealing his videos is the same as me stating that he stole them from the station he posted them from and that there are many montage videos with News Opens, Station IDs, and Signoffs on YouTube and I am not making any money off of any of my videos. An hour ago, I received a copyright strike on my channel for using some of his signoffs in two of my videos. What is everyone’s view on this? I see nothing wrong with it. It’s all copyrighted material owned by the station groups, not him. Heck, I even told channels who post chronological news open montages “Here, you are missing mine”. I mean if it’s a one for one entire video reposted and taking credit, yes that is over the line but when you use pieces of it that’s another thing. Should I fight it?

I found that he does! Although not all of it that was Youtube. Thanks!

TotallyKyle, A channel that had loads of Tampa area commercials including promos for Newscasts and Syndicated shows not seen anywhere else before in which the videos were titled "TBTapes", deleted their Youtube account. I wish I would have saved most of the videos but never thought of it. Hopefully he or his videos will resurface again or somewhere else.

You have to realize that Miami DMA is only 3 counties with one of them, Monroe County being the Keys and a mostly uninhabited swamp on the mainland. Plus, Miami-Ft. Lauderdale area is the highest COL in the state and many middle class have been priced out of there and moved to Orlando and Tampa areas. Tampa is a much bigger DMA overall in land size and had explosive population growth post-COVID from many Northerners and South Floridians.

This isn’t good. And it is truly saddening. I was stationed near Dayton, Ohio for 6 NFL seasons and if I was in my car during the 1pm games I would listen to Browns games with Jim Donovan on WHIO radio over the Bengals broadcasts on WTUE because I loved Jim’s enthusiasm even if the Browns were a loser most of the seasons between 2014-2019. Prayers for him and his family.

It mentions Seattle so it looks like he’s moving within Cox to KIRO. Not uncommon. Many WFTV alums moved to Cox flagship WSB in the past like Zach Klein and Jorge Estevez.

I was looking around Youtube for a link to clip of a WBRC 1984 Newsbreak during the Summer Olympics Closing Ceremonies that was shown simultaneously to one I saw on a former Jacksonville TV station employees Instagram for WTLV. I saw on the other videos next to the Newsbreak clip that longtime WBRC anchor Scott Richards passed away back in February. He was main anchor at the station from 1981-2014 and up until a short time before his death he did retrospectives on WIAT. Longtime WBRC anchor Scott Richards dies There was no link to it here on the In Memoriam forum.

Interesting how the other three West Palm Beach stations bought commercial time to advertise for their newscasts. The other stations primarily focused their news coverage on Palm Beach County and even Broward County stories, hence why WTVX lost their CBS affiliation to WPEC earlier that year in the big NBC/WTVJ triggered affiliate swap. WTVX was the only true station that covered the counties north of PBC.

I would love to see this and have it be a happy medium. I really wish NBA Finals rights were split with NBC on every year that ESPN has Stanley Cup Finals because ESPN is horrible in their coverage but like I said in an earlier comment ESPN prioritizes the NBA over all of their properties outside of MNF and College Football.

It will be interesting to see if WTVT will run it in the morning. It will probably be most likely for an hour at 11am replacing and shifting Sherri since WTVT has Live (an hour later) with Kelly and Mark at 10am. I would think maybe 1pm but they have a local cooking show Dinner DeAs and 25 Words or Less. I would hate for WTVT to dump good, local non-brokered programming.

This is shocking and sad. I admittedly hadn't watched the KTLA Morning News in probably 16 years since I dropped Dish Network who had a Superstations package but Sam Rubin was a reporter who didn't go too "tabloidy" with his entertainment reporting something ET and Access Hollywood has fallen into instead of reporting Entertainment news straight. RIP Sam.

It will truly suck for TNT to lose the NBA. It would be worst than NBC losing it back in 2002 because at that time NBC outside of the Olympics and Golf were to me feeling like the sports department was “mailing it in”. They had Arena Football as football filler for losing the NFL in 1998 and they had NASCAR to fill the void of no NFL but IMO Dale Earnhardt getting killed in 2001 started a slow death (no pun intended) for NASCAR ratings wise. TNT (Turner as a whole company really.) is still going strong with all of the high profile sports and events they have outside of not having the NFL. And they have the hottest studio show in North American Sports TV with Inside the NBA. TNT losing the NBA would be up there probably 3rd with NBC losing baseball in 1989 and behind CBS and NBC losing the NFL in 1994 and 1998 respectively. ESPN has their priorities. Have blank check in hand for the following sports 1. Monday Night Football 2. College Football (sans Big Ten) and the CFP 3. The NBA and the Finals 4. NCAA Women’s Tournament and Final Four As much as I and many others hate ESPNs coverage of the NBA, they do whatever it takes to keep it unfortunately and their daytime shows are heavily influenced by it when it’s not football season.

Sports Anchor Dave Holmes who left WBNS in Columbus after 9 years at the station has moved across town to WSYX to be the Sports Director there. https://abc6onyourside.com/news/local/dave-holmes-joins-abc-6-news-sports-director?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR3q6yudfdzbmkqXMXhwpIPufEKLjiUcxjcDj4v0N1yd-AJ93mCox8wEdVQ_aem_AccA45lAf0UwTF1nRkwzwQlBQjg3zGAoRUBivKdkuT7wWk3gY_pZb5FN0k2SuDz4fQkbp0HHarJmv4bHjoWMrks0

It's from Wikipedia so take it for what it's worth but it looks like the news department was shut down. Marcus Esparza officially left on March 12th. So guaranteed it's gone. https://www.facebook.com/marcus.esparza.1/posts/pfbid0XUxzXi4ycYogTajXReEBPeW4UpTUYJv1DXnuQ2opu2tnphTY8D76bt7CN8aBMUAl

That logo only lasted a month. I don't think anyone knows why the logo was revised to the logo used for 9 1/2 years other than it was too similar to WTAE's logo in Pittsburgh. Notice the original 4 logo split to show the cities versus zooming into the screen and the counties flashed downward into the New York part of the logo versus falling downward into it. Awesome find! Also the original 4 logo was displayed in parts of a News 4 New York "Best of My Love-esque" promo that ran for over a year on the station from the premiere of News 4 New York in September 1980 until sometime at the end of 1981.

To put sports into it. CBS losing the NFL (NFC) in 1994 was a huge blow to the network along with their subpar prime time programming at the time. CBS then started to turnaround in 1996 and started what would turn into a 27 year relationship with SEC football before getting the NFL back in 1998 but with the AFC it wasn't the same as the majority of their original NFC crew were already at Fox. One has to wonder how losing SEC football this coming season will come into to play for those Southern large and rural markets. Yes, the Big Ten is a much bigger market conference but I bet those newscasts on Saturdays in the South will take a hit with the exception of places where the CBS affiliate is the only choice like WMAZ in Macon. (I'm so glad I left that area! It's the only TEGNA station that was ran well. The competition there is a joke! They should be absorbed into Atlanta DMA)

I hated this era of WFLA! The graphics and music were a step back in my opinion from the "coastal" graphics and Power News. The set was the only good thing about it. They redeemed themselves in 1995 with the Bold Horizons graphics and theme.

Also looks like the WFTV and WSB sets from that era too but with different elements for the background and side windows.

Wow! I had no clue he left WFTS. It shows how much I watch either station. I watch WFLA and WTVT way too much.

Jeopardy has always been screwed badly timeslot-wise in Central and Mountain Time Zone Markets except for Fox affiliates (i.e. WVUE and WALA) or now KTVT and WDJT. Those of us in the Eastern or Pacific Time Zones are so used to Wheel and Jeopardy being in tandem with each other whether on the same station or separate that it's almost unfathomable to not watch Jeopardy at night over dinner or after it.

I was meaning original station with a network affiliation for Gainesville. They wouldn't have another one in the market until 1986 when W49AI (now WYKE) was used as a repeater for Orlando's Fox affiliate WOFL until 1991 when WOGX took over. But what could have stopped WCJB from defying WJXT's place from the neighboring market and going to CBS other than the affiliation contract and maybe ABC themselves not wanting Alachua and Dixie to have to rely on weak station WJXX. Marion would be taken care of by strong ABC affiliate WFTV. Remember this is before WJXT went Independent so WGFL was just a mere affiliate of WB. Or perhaps CBS knowing how dominant WJXT was acted like Gainesville was not a seperate market.

This is a great pickup next year for WCJB in Gainesville (the original network affiliate station in Gainesville) who could have easily swapped to CBS when WJXT the de facto CBS affiliate for Gainesville went Independent 21 years ago or even before it when CBS got exclusive rights to include the Championship Game in 2001 due to how important Florida Gator athletics are for the area. ABC has probably the most small market or former single station affiliates in the country between WCJB, WWSB, and WLOX.
