  1. Other ideas: CBS New York News Now. CBS News York Now. CBS News Now York. Now CBS New York News. Now News New York CBS. Now New News York Now Now Now. Now Bedtime.
  2. So, while CNN proper was focused on its "The Fourth in America" special tonight, their live coverage of the Highland Park, IL, mass shooting was instead airing, for at least a little while, on HLN. That was a pleasant surprise. Rather conveniently, the coverage preempted an episode of Very Scary People.
  3. I believe there's a saying for this: "If it bleeds, it leads." The fact that it bled five hours ago is apparently immaterial.
  4. All we need is "MSNBC Overnight".
  5. Maybe they should move all the opinionated shows to HLN. It'd be better than 19 hours a day of Forensic Files.
  6. More info here: https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/chris-wallace-cnn-sunday-1235270703/
  7. Their website looks like it was designed for mobile devices with no consideration for desktop browsers (or anything with a screen resolution greater than 1000px wide). That's just lazy.
  8. WMUR's Tom Griffith is retiring in a few months, with his last day being June 3rd. https://www.wmur.com/article/wmur-new-hampshire-tom-griffith-retirement/39653352#
  9. That's more like two or three decisions, but either way, he's ending strong.
  10. Well, it wasn't an exit interview per se, but Colbert did devote a segment of tonight's show to Licht's news. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_rVUr3g5Gs
  11. Colbert should given him an on-air exit interview. I'm completely serious.
  12. That's what a password manager is for. (Though entering a password pinball-style using a Roku remote sucks.)
  13. Bingo. Heck, the only reason I still have cable TV is because I live with my mother and know she wouldn't want to give it up.
  14. You know what's also a shell of its former self? HLN. Whoever ends up in charge at CNN either needs to do something about it or let Discovery flip it into something else. Maybe Morning Express can move to CNN+. The company already has Investigation Discovery, so HLN's catalog of non-news programming can simply move over there. While I'd personally prefer to see CNN International get HLN's cable channel, I'm not holding out hope for that. Remember Al Jazeera America? It had to be US-centric to appease cable compnies, not simply Al Jazeera English.
  15. Yeah, that string of URL spew at the end is ugly. A bigger issue, though, is that the site isn't responsive; rather, they're still using a separate mobile site. Also, the WVEC logo is tiny! It should be at least twice as big, like I've done below.
  16. Oh, come on. There are more options here than "stay-at-home moms" and people in assisted living/nursing homes. There are: Retired people People who work non-"standard" hours and are thus free to have the TV on in the mornings if they're awake People who work from home and are thus also free to have the TV on Stay-at-home dads And those are just the ones I can think of.
  17. A talking van?
  18. Much like how several former LIN executives who had stayed on with Media General were able to influence Nexstar when it bought MG.
  19. Maybe they turn a camera on and let viewers watch them get ready to go for the day.
  20. Why not?
  21. And let's go back to showing everything in only black and white, right?
  22. I happened to notice that the top headline on WTVF's website right now is about who won Nashville's mayoral runoff...which happened on Thursday. The story itself was last updated shortly after noon on Friday. I've been to Nashville. Weekends are definitely not that light on news to cover...
  23. Thanks. It was starting to give a whole new meaning to "Out & About"...
  24. If you mean "not on-air 24/7", that's not a format.
