  1. So, are we taking bets as to which station (WBBM, WJZ, or KOVR) is the last to switch?* *Asks the guy who does not have money to spare right now.
  2. You do know The Conners isn't the only sitcom that has laugh tracks, right?
  3. The Morgan Murphy stations use white, orange, and what looks like dark gray with a touch of blue. It's strikingly different from other packages.
  4. I have to admit, this looks pretty good: It also makes me want to see what the black box looks like with just the 3 in it. Anyone want to mock that up? Oh, and is Morgan Freeman aware that he's apparently been cloned? Because that's who Ukee Washington's voice reminds me of -- in a good way, of course.
  5. I've gone ahead and started a Speculatron thread for HLN. As Daleks would say, SPEC-U-LATE!!
  6. That's a bad thing?
  7. Meanwhile, HLN, which has been showing older Warner Bros. TV dramas on weekends -- first The West Wing, now Fringe -- has expanded that to weeknights, with Third Watch now showing at a rate of four episodes per night (8:00pm to midnight, ET). I mention it despite not being sure this is the correct thread anymore for discussing HLN. I mean, does the channel even fall under Licht's purview outside of simulcasting CNN This Morning? Do we have to move this discussion to the Breakroom?
  8. So, how did WFTX (Fox4, which hasn't been locally owned in decades) behave during all that?
  9. Let me guess: Starts with a "t", ends with an "r", and normally has a blue bird in its logo?
  10. Welp, there's Hearst's purchase for the decade. Meanwhile, I can just imagine the reaction from staffers at WVIR when they realize what they missed out on.
  11. I'm sure their viewer(s) in Alaska and Hawaii are grateful.
  12. Speak for yourself. Most people I know up here in NH would call it 95. But, then, I also live near a completely different Route 128... The brand confusion with WJAR hasn't help there. I still think they should have gone with "NBC 15" instead...
  13. I can see it coming down to which URL requires the fewest taps on a mobile browser. "cbsboston.com": 13 characters "cbsnews.com/boston": 18 characters "wbz.com": 7 characters "cbslosangeles.com": 17 characters "cbsnews.com/losangeles": 22 characters "kcal.com": 8 characters
  14. Or just breakfast mode. Someone there must really like morning news.
  15. I'm honestly surprised Sinclair hasn't started selling stations. That seems like a sure-fire way to recoup some losses.
  16. You consider retransmission disputes to be entirely the providers' (read: cable companies, Hulu, Fubo, etc.) fault?
  17. An hour of true-crime investigation programming every night? Hard pass. In fact, I doubt affiliates would like it, either.
  18. Maybe it's for a new TLC show: Little People, Big Video Wall.
  19. And not conflict talkers (Jerry Springer, Maury Povich, et al) and court shows, either. I'd rather have all-day news than those.
  20. Complete with footwear.
  21. "NewsNation Billings".... "NewsNation Elmira".... "NewsNation Escanaba"... "NewsNation Podunk".... I can see their competitors having a field day. "Would you trust news for Escanaba that's coming from CHIGAGO?"
