  1. Darius: I don't think that can happen. The other three are duopoly partners. Gannett is not buying The television arm of Tribune, but the publishing arm.
  2. yea but then across some of the others properties they own..at least one station lost a big primary anchor team and another one will be loosing the GM, News Director, and Chief Meterologist. And that station will be losing a primary anchor for different reasons. Some of the stations won't have to do much reorganization but others will have to reorganize in a hurry.
  3. Couple of points here: 1) The link to the open might have been posted on an internal email and not everyone has a Vimeo account. Also, their e-mail servers might actually block out or strip attachments if they have a certain ending and considering that there is probably a "size" limit within an enterprise setting, this was probably the easiest way to get it up for review. 2) Yes it is lazy for the uploader to not set the privacy. I know for youtube there is a way there is a privacy setting to where whomever gets the link to the video can see it, but it remains unsearchable to those that might not have a link. I would think Vimeo is the same way.
  4. You are free to use this MEME whenever the admin feels its necessary.
  5. So with all the craziness of WFAA being disaffiliated and all that..here is the long awaited list of those who took buyouts. There is one question mark and that is with KIII's ND Richard Longoria Doug Miller-KHOU Glenn Courts-WCNC Cindy Prezler-KSDK Steve Smith-First Coast News Roger Weeder-First Coast News Joe Becker-KGW Melissa Swan-WHAS Diana Pierce-KARE Allen Costantini-KARE Mike Roberts-KSDK Keith Whitney-WXIA Donna Lowry-WXIA Kevin Rowson-WXIA Lee Van Ameyde-WZZM Dennis Bounds-KING Jean Enerson-KING Jeff Renner-KING Linda Byron-KING Steve McKay-WLBZ Joe Cupo-WCSH Joe Flanagan-WVEC Velma Scaife-WVEC Mark Murray-KVUE Dave Wirth-WTSP [Thanks to AJClementeFan] Richard Longoria-KIII [NEWS DIRECTOR?] Frank Volpicella-KVUE [NEWS DIRECTOR] Patti Smith-KVUE [GENERAL MANAGER]
  6. That would probably be true of any buyout is that technically you are taking an early retirement from the company buying out your contract which would explicitly mean you couldn't work for said company again since in the eyes of the company you are technically retired
  7. Indeed. I did submit the info over to NMSA and he has updated the listing
  8. I have to admit, this theme is real impressive certainly hearing the cleaner cuts.
  9. Scott Stanford..The jobber of PIX11
  10. http://unclebarky.com/dfw_files/4aba1865f384269fac28e1ec3415552a-3591.html So from reading this, WFAA's buyout group will be limited to about 27 off camera personnel. No on camera people are going to be involved in it.
  11. Yes..but KING 5 has not been a great place of business in the past few months you know ever since what happened with the unions.
  12. KING 5 has hit a huge blow: http://www.king5.com/mb/news/local/dennis-bounds-jeff-renner-jean-enersen-and-linda-byron-retiring-from-king-5/135076487 DENNIS BOUNDS JEAN ENERSON JEFF RENNER LINDA BYRON all of them "retiring" Wow
  13. Well it could be an elaborate April Fools ruse.
  14. EatNews: He was Executive Producer at KING 5 and was also the news director at Q13 in Seattle. Great pickup by XETV
  15. I actually like the WTKR 3
  16. But I think the big part of that might be because they are now sharing space with the Savannah Morning News. There could be some complications with that and plus the station isn't as fully staffed as some of the other stations that Hearst has taken over.
  17. I know with what all was going on in Roanoke with the shooting at WDBJ, that it might have been highly inappropriate to report this at that time. This still might be, but as I was watching the WSET live feed yesterday at 5 PM, I noticed that Mark Spain was sitting next to Noreen Turyn. http://www.wset.com/story/28846857/mark-spain
  18. Open for the new Cleveland 19. They are using This is the Place which is surprising to me.
  19. If I was CBS, I would be more than happy not to produce news if my current programming was paying the same or more (profit margin) to my bottom line. Not only that, FOX 2, WDIV 4 and WXYZ 7 are well entrenched and when WWJ 62 did try, they got killed for it. So its an easier choice NOT to produce news and save the money (or really the profit losses) and just invest in good syndicated programming.
  20. Dave Ward said this about Bob Allen: https://www.facebook.com/KTRKHouston/videos/10153187810159342/?fref=nf
  21. Looking like puke and sounding like puke doesn't necessarily mean they don't put out a quality product. It might not be refined, but at least they do put effort in where it needs to be which is the actual nuts and bolts. Scripps has gutted WMAR to a point that they try (and they really do), but when parts of your news team is being ran like a Morris Multimedia station, that is not good.
  22. In reference to the ROH deal with Destination America, TNA is actually going away from Destination and ROH I am assuming will be the only one shown.
  23. That would sound like a plausible idea to have Adam & Trina do the 11AM show except for one little problem currently. If Adam was to do that show, his time would be stretched even further with him having to go to Miramar than over to Miami Gardens (which is a 30 minute or so drive) and then to go right back to Miramar for 5 PM. Not necessarily the best of situations there and depending on traffic. Maybe I don't know, put him as the sports director or main sports anchor. Just a thought process.
  24. Well I think when they put Adam Kuperstein in evenings it was more of a oh bleep emergency move. Granted he is a decent anchor, and also he is cheap (compared to Jackie at least). I don't think his deal with WQAM would prevent him in being anchor (although it is CBS Radio now owning it). Adam Kuperstein's gigs: NBC 6 Main Anchor (at the moment) WQAM 12-2 PM radio show weekdays (with a former Dolphin) Weekend NBC Sports Radio Show with Jordan Schultz. It just depends. Maybe they move him back to sports? I don't know.
  25. that is a set that could be used more to its potential than it is.
