tyrannical bastard

Your turn, Lesley Stahl.... I can't ever recall such a disastrous and destructive tenure of a news organization than what Bari Weiss has done to CBS News. The only thing that seems to come close is when Joel Cheatwood took over WMAQ in Chicago....and Carol Marin and Ron Magers resigned in protest. In fact, this eventually led Carol Marin over to WBBM, and even did some work at 60 Minutes with her ties to CBS at the time.

At this point, I really hope 60 Minutes ends because nobody will want to do a show under Bari Weiss's control. Let CBS burn if they are willing to go through all of this to appease dear leader.

Broadcast TV is in the early stages of replacing syndicated programming with simulcasted OTT material. It's clearly secondary to OTT and streaming as all of the content is starting to be prioritized there.

Definitely the current location then. Roy Rogers going the way they did is just as bad as some of the way some broadcasters went after they were taken over. The larger company prevails and ruins the goodness they bought from the other company.

I vaguely remember this when it was still a Roy Rogers. It's right off the Tenleytown Metro stop on the red line, and American University is right down the street from there. There was also a triangle-shaped Sears store that was still open at the time. It later closed and was replaced by a Best Buy (my last visit back in 2003). That also closed and is now a Target. How close were the "Broadcast House" locations to each other? This would have been early 1992 so it may have been after they just moved into the newer one.

WDHN in Dothan, AL was on the air covering a tornado warning that affected their own station as it flew overboard. On-air, they didn't miss a beat, while the storm was doing some significant damage to their station and grounds. https://www.wdhn.com/weather/video-tornado-damage-at-wdhn-station/ And one of the casualties looks to be their roadside sign, a landmark since the 1960s on AL 52 outside their studios in Webb, Alabama...

Another chapter in Mobile television is about to close as Darwin Singleton will be retiring from NBC 15 on May 29th... https://oursouthernsouls.com/i-just-have-to-educate-myself-on-a-new-way-to-tell-these-stories/?fbclid=IwdGRjcASADidjbGNrBIANcWV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABHpyecKTPExMxN7XVDZp1VMaicVaTyIBgNIBchAzURl26tDJH68bIo5qGoy1t_aem_TdWQNYt8XkdNwxeOMaH-QA Darwin started his career in his hometown of Hazard, KY at the old WKYH before it became WYMT. He moved to Mobile in 1987, working for WKRG until 2001, and then with WPMI and NBC 15 since then.

We're in a very different era as affiliation agreements are very financially loaded with the networks basically having full control over their obligated airtime. Way back when, networks had all of the good shows that everyone watched, so they paid affiliate stations to run their content. If a show didn't do well, affiliates could pre-empt it in favor of something more profitable. Fast forward to now, where networks consist of third-rate time-filling content, and a bunch of sports rights they have to pay for in a multichannel universe that's being eclipsed by streaming more and more each day. And we're the ones who pay for it, through retransmission fees, collected by the stations, who pass along to the networks who demand more and more for less and less (and even more sports). When will it all implode?

That's probably going to come back to bite them come affiliation renewal time, especially if "special reports" aren't going to be easily accessible outside the Newspath ecosystem...

WKYC's building opened in 2001 after being on 6th St. in the old East Ohio Gas building that goes back to Westinghouse and KYW's time in Cleveland.

Former WTVA chief meteorologist Matt Laubhan lets loose on Byron Allen's latest comments to the Hollywood Reporter... https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/byron-allen-buzzfeed-starz-streaming-1236595447/?fbclid=IwdGRjcARzfBZjbGNrBHN8DmV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABHgUymuuucb_wNCbAXuvMdnGR8AGLc07PHSZxmRvqfaRfPO0pV0JaZnO-ot0Z_aem_dgIArXgwjD_RZikpAdQwjg

Now the companies he's buying are as old as the jokes flying around on Comics Unleashed . What's AOL going for these days?

Basically we're under a dictatorship right now. No one will call it that but that's basically what it is. It is all to appease dear leader and his whims. So therefore, anything he says is bullshit. He lies and breaks the law in virtually everything he does so nothing that comes out of our government is legitimate anymore. And even if it is, It's a lone act hidden under hundreds and even thousands of illegal actions. As soon as he is out of power, a whole bunch of people are going to prison. Hopefully him if he's still alive when it all ends.

It would be nice if our current FCC would actually work "in the public interest".... But as we can see that's clearly not the case.

This is like a Sears and Kmart merger. Bonus points if Eddie Lampert comes aboard to run it all (into the ground). Iheart is a joke and SiriusXM's saving grace is all of their receivers in new cars and trying to sucker in subscribers with a low introductory rate and making it next to impossible to cancel when it goes up to full price.
