  1. That newsroom looked like it hasn't been touched at all since probably the late 1990s. What renovations they'd done since 2005? Nevertheless, it's about time.
  2. I thought they start on Monday, the 8th? Oh wait. I saw the guide. Why are they simulcasting the Tennis on My54 on Monday? SMH.
  3. We have another consummation. The BendBroadband takeover (including Bend, Oregon stations KOHD & KBNZ-LD) by TDS in Chicago was closed on Monday.
  4. It doesn't make me stop thinking that it was an asinine decision she made on giving it to them. Like I said, she's really dumb for doing that. I don't care if they would give her twice as much. If she would've sold it to someone else, then I wouldn't be so mad about it. But it's Sinclair we're talking about. Not any other broadcaster. Wow! I didn't realized he wanted to sell his baby Channel 3 before he passed. Earlier, I stated that Sinclair was coming touring the station, while doing it at the same time Rogers was on his death bed. But I didn't know Jim was willing to sell before he passed. I still wished that another buyer came about and not those fools. To me, it ain't about the money (sine that is the case). What I'm worried about here, is what Sinclair is going to do post-consummation to KSNV. That's what I'm worried about.
  5. I know that!!! You see Sinclair wanted this from the jump. I'm asking why she would be so asinine to give in to these Heathens of Hunt Valley, after going out and saying "this station was NOT for sale", and turn around and sell the house that Jim built. I don't care if she was so tempted with their money. She made a huge mistake. This is a sad day in Southern NV. Channels 5, 8 & 13 should be celebrating in jubiliation. You may not like what I'm about to say. But I wouldn't be shocked if they keep that VHF 2 frequency & give one of those channels to a speculator. Think about it. The UHF discount ruling is coming soon, if not in a not-too-distant future. And if the ruling includes a possible "VHF discount", they'll probably going to take advantage of it. Now I'm not for any TV station going to the VHF-low frequency becaause it's exceedingly difficult to get a signal and such. Also, those auctions are coming up next summer, and many of the speculators want to buy more UHF airspace before they can resell it for those Wireles fools. And you know how I am about this "pet project" broadband plan. But with all of that being said, I wouldn't be shocked if both CW & MNT share one stream, and the new GetTV would be on either be on the same stream with the CW or move to KSNV. I wouldn't be shocked if they kick Estrella to the curve, and maybe one of the subs that KSNV currently have.
  6. That is sad as hell. Why Beverly? Why?!!!! :angry: :bang:
  7. Sad News in Nebraska. Former longtime KNOP-TV owner Ulysses Carlini, Sr. passed away on Sunday at the age of 89. He owned KNOP from 1968 until he sold the station (along with KHAS, which he bought in 1997) to Hoak Media in 2005. EDIT 6:37pm/ET: Damn Raymie beat me to it yesterday. I didn't realized until just now. My bad.
  8. There's no logos that have that distinctiveness anymore. Any new logo comes about, it has to be clean and uninspired. Now the WDIV last logo, had that distinctiveness and effectiveness. I didn't understand why they didn't keep it. And to Mrtraveler01 mentioning WJXT, which basically went the WDIV route, I didn't understand why they wanted to change their old logo either, even if the new logo kept certain features the old logo had. If it ain't broke.....
  9. RIP The Spirit Of Texas music logo. Thirty Years. [yt]yzzWKFG5-dw[/yt] Courtesy of CorporateMagicDallas from YT.
  10. The streaming worked during the 4:30-6am portion of Daybreak. After that, it just went blank from there.
  11. No. You posted in the right spot. Welcome to the board.
  12. Wasn't aware that Fox 4 is joining the other O&Os to air Dr. Oz (except for WAGA, which they're giving it to WSB). Belo8 have alot to fill in the afternoons now, huh?
  13. There's certainly no reason why they shouldn't do it. I'm not too sure what the taping schedule is for The Chew, but if they tape within the day before the airing, I don't see any reason why they shouldn't offer an earlier 11am window for the show. And I don't blame WFAA having a 12pm news, since they'd had it for a minute. But since some stations are moving GH an hour later, I'm kind of shocked that WFAA haven't took advantage on moving The Chew to 1pm, and then GH at 2pm. I'm not sure what show will replace Katie at 3pm, unless Dr. Oz is moving to be their new 4pm news lead-in. ABC did offer Port Charles at half hour earlier on the central time zone (11am) than the eastern stations which some would air their 12pm news at the time, and it would air PC afterwards at 12:30pm/ET, while some central stations air their 11:30am news.
  14. WFAA does have a midday newscast, an hourly noon show (The Chew airs on a 23-hour delay at 11am).
  15. Wow! Just Wow! I can't believe this. Guess who's coming to Channel 7 soon? From Frank Macek's Blog posted last week (8/14): Wow! What a difference six years make. She was one of the first personalities when WMBF launched six years ago (and it was her first on-air gig at that). As I've seen here reporting style and delivery on WKYC, she's good enough that she could be in one of the bigger markets, hell, even one of the networks. IMO, she's like Linsey Davis-good. But I never thought she would end up at the #1 station in the largest market in the country. And she hasn't even been at WKYC 16 months? I feel that ABC made a tremendous decision picking her. I wish her all the best, and hopes she spends a lengthy time at ABC. I wouldn't be shocked if the network would take her in. Big Kudos to A.J.!
  16. WFAA's new website has its current logo on the header. Could Belo8 be the next one to launch its website?
  17. Despite shortening his workload, this is an end of an era in New England television nevertheless.
  18. FINALLY!! I was wondering when they were going to start doing that for Channel 4 (they should've done it when their graphics were implemented). WVEC, WHAS & KREM have yet to make their new sites. And I'm shocked that KING 5's new webpage didn't go live this week.
  19. For the first 28 seasons, then moved an hour earlier two years ago; will return to its 3:30 slot this coming fall.
  20. For the first time since the WUSA & KPNX same day launches back on January 17, 2013, both KVUE & KENS 5 implemented its new Gannett Graphics during its midday newscasts.
  21. And now it appears to finally be some movement in the ComCorp deal. Okay, here's the WEVV app of the sale to Bayou City Broadcasting, posted last Tuesday (8/5). On that same day, the KFXK (sister to KETK) application from White Knight to Mission has been DISMISSED. And just yesterday (8/13), the WVLA (sister to WGMB) application from White Knight to Mission has also been DISMISSED. Wait, I almost forgot. Also on that same day (8/5) the KSHV application (sister to KMSS) assigned from White Knight to the newly female controlled, Rocky Creek Communications, was also DISMISSED. I guess we're not going to any rocky creeks anytime soon. I'm not too sure what that means in Baton Rouge & East Texas. If ComCorp is gone, White Knight is not going to stay put. One option could be to reassign the station to Marshall (they'll probably might wait until those other 3 get the greenlight). Or another option could be following the other groups like Sinclair & Gray and play that same moving channel switches and surrendering the license of the adjacent stations. So far they haven't done that in Grand Junction, CO, where they're still waiting for FCC approval on KFQX (assigned to Mission). Of course they're obviously doing this now because that outside date is coming up.
  22. No I don't know everything. I just took a wild guess. And besides we still have to treat it as tentative, in case they could be a delay (like WCNC).
