That's what a password manager is for. (Though entering a password pinball-style using a Roku remote sucks.)

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.

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.

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.

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.

A talking van?

Much like how several former LIN executives who had stayed on with Media General were able to influence Nexstar when it bought MG.

Maybe they turn a camera on and let viewers watch them get ready to go for the day.

Why not?

And let's go back to showing everything in only black and white, right?

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...

Thanks. It was starting to give a whole new meaning to "Out & About"...

If you mean "not on-air 24/7", that's not a format.

You weren't around in the '80s when few broadcast stations were 24/7 and nearly every stations played the anthem at sign-on and sign-off, were you?

Oh, so the game was un-canceled?

One more hour and they'll be able to wish Arizona a Good Afternoon at the end.

Hypothetical question: If Sinclair were to end up losing their station licenses, would it be a 22-year court battle like RKO General was? I mean, we don't know if the industry will even be around in 2041..

No one tell Criminal Minds Lady.

The "NBC4i.com" URL must have really taken off in the Columbus area -- wcmh.com and nbc4columbus.com both redirect to it.

Damn. I was hoping Hearst or Graham would get WBNS and WTHR. Silly me.

Okay, that makes sense. But. If the crash had been in SF and the story broke during WABC's noon newscast, would WABC have covered it? And would ABC News have aired a special report for it?

Ugh. I was just thinking the other day that Gray's "own" stations have the better website designs.

Why would a station in San Francisco interrupt their regular programming to simulcast coverage of a helicopter crash in NYC?

I believe KTRK used to play it in the early morning as of earlier this decade, even going so far as to get sponsorship for it. Naturally, I can't find the video now.

9? I thought they were channel 51...
