I'm surprised they haven't done so either, since their sister ABC stations WFTV and WSB air hour-long 4pm newscasts. Plus, they can either move Dr. Phil to WAXN or in WRAL/WRAZ's case, put the 4pm newscast on WAXN.
But I see WSOC/WAXN, just like WFTV/WRDQ, so that may not happen. I can only see WSOC kick out Dr. Phil to WAXN in favor of a new 4pm newscast, but I don't think that will happen anytime soon either.
Don't you think there is a message that stations are sending to the syndication marketplace, basically meaning "Create unique programming that'll bring ratings to us or we'll make it on our own" in creating local news/programming? It appears the marketplace is running out of ideas. How could they be trying it again in a beaten horse genre. Meredith, Jeff Probst, Anderson, Queen Latifah, and now Tyra all have faltered or now faltering. This season's syndie slate is so slim (FABLife, CrazyTalk, Crime Watch Daily)
This could be the point where there's cord-cutting everywhere (sans netflix of course) Locals could invest in local productions, not just news or pay for segment talk shows. (And yes to Spectrum27 from other topic who said bring back game shows. When Steve Harvey basically revitalized 'THE FAMILY FEUD', that says something about where can the game genre go in the future.)
Examples can be found in Puerto Rico, powerhouses like Telemundo (a 2-hr daily variety show, and where the top rated show in the market is a weekly 2-hr comedy/variety show headlining by one of the market's popular comic/host) and WAPA, an indie station, where from 5am-7pm is totally LOCAL (news, variety, talk, games). Univision is dead last because as someone stated in another topic from here that it is 'a comedy of errors' done by management, local and abroad, meaning it is not catering to local (caribbean/american) tastes, as it was formerly Teleonce, rather it is basically a mexican station and you might as well take it off from the signals and clear it full on cable like stateside.

Great sample posted of KNBC's 1982-85 package by Tuesday on the NMSA.
Would Tuesday's other cut, "Tuesday 15" be considered a variation of the Newscenter Melody or not, and why isn't it referred as a "musical logo found" on NMSA?

Talking about nepotism at its worst, jeez.

Interesting that you brought up SD's high cost of living. It reminded me about reading an article concerning former DC Radio DJ Jack Diamond who was fired from DC's Hot AC station, later moved to SD. Facing issues out west including the cost of living and cost of enrolling their children to school, A veteran who may have probably been financially well off to live in SD admitted it was too much for him even. He auditioned for a spot at WLS-FM Chicago before bolting out to SD then returning to DC and now back in Chi-town and permanently at WLS-FM. I probably shouldn't brand the city as a whole, but how high is the cost of living in SD for anyone with a bit of knowledge can answer?You are right.
San Diego has used Phoenix as a feeder market, but in reality SD sucks for most these Zonies. Plenty arrive from Phoenix, just to turn back around and flee the high cost of living.

So basically he admitted himself to be an uneducated bigot without trying hard. Anyway....^ It would look so much better, in my opinion, if it was exclusively the NBC peacock up there.
Additionally, this happened. Pretty hilarious. http://www.newscaststudio.com/2015/06/27/view-mistakes-nbc-peacock-for-gay-pride-avatar/

Coming from Chasing New Jersey "News", it's not surprising at all. Hell, if she reported that same $#!T on 'Chasing', it would deemed acceptable because no research is taken place there. Circus indeed.WTH is going on at WCBS?! this "reporter" Meg Baker who came from that circus that replaced the my 9 news did a hatchet story whipping up hysteria that commuter trains are going too fast. Secacus territory is 90 mph, She should have talked to an FRA certified Engineer not a civil engineer. This girl is like the 2nd coming of Marcia Kramer

I mean' date=' she could just be saying it, but based off of her comment of "I'm loving my career in Kansas City," she seems to be fairly happy here. Though that comment is followed up by "I’m really committed to being a part of this community for the [b']time being[/b]." That could mean that the moment her contract is up, she's outta here.
I also find it funny how bitter Philly people seem to be about her leaving Philly to come to 'lowly' Kansas City.
not to mention, Aaron's brother, Josh, broke up with his fiancé Andi from 'the bachelorette' not too long ago, coincidently. Although you can say about that last part, maybe not so much debate, coming from a show with a poor ass record of long term unions, that didn't have a shelf of a life either.

So can you safely say that the MLS is here to stay rather than just bouyed from attention of the world cup and summer olympics even amongst the casual observers? Orlando has a soccer club and from what i've read Miami would soon get one too, thanks in part to the backing of Mr. Beckham. It seems like certain places you never thought would have a MLS club do.WOFL/WRBW announced today that it will be the local TV partner for MLS's Orlando City SC starting with the club's inaugural season next year.

yes they did use the espn2 feed with the network's commentators and the wabc reporters on hand for the coverage (joe torres, kemberley richardson, laura behnke, rob powers)

There's that but it's quite a coincidental that a move like that (the view to ABC 'News' from 'Entertainment') all the news productions are held in New York and the entertainment division is held in L.A. (with the exception of 'millionaire' which tapes in Connecticut, but I digress since that's syndie) ABC daytime (which is part of 'Entertainment') now only consists of "The chew" (taped in NY) and "General Hospital" (taped in LA). Just curious, but any chance they may move 'the chew' to L.A in the future so all of ABC's 'entertainment' is focused on one town? Probably not, since the show's all about food, and what better place to film at than literally 'the food capital of the world'?
BTW: the theme y'all been wondering where it came from through the 'weekend' and 'weekday' version clips? I think that's part of the Non-stop music's '92 GMA Package. yes, package. there was a demo from the long time, old Non-stop music's website of the package. The demos in general don't work anymore if you try to archive.org it.
Sidenote: My favorite demo anywhere on the old non-stop music website was the 1996 Family Channel theme campaign "Just watch us now". Both the :30 and the full length theme are available here to hear:

@Raymie: they'll be two English speaking newscasts at 6p (or 7p) and 11p (or 12a) by early 2015, and from what I've read one Spanish speaking newscast, not sure for what time. I think it's unprecedented though, local talent anchoring in English? How receptive will the concept be amongst the local aundience in a country that's Spanish dominant? Though Puerto Rico can be considered a bilingual nation in part due to numerous businesses where English is a necessity. Don't forget it's also an American territory, thus making Puerto Ricans as Americans as well. Maybe Raymie, you can assess how much of an English speaking population in PR is there. I think like the third or fourth generations of latinos in the u.s. whose English is their primary language, probably (second or) third or fourth generations of Puerto Ricans may have English as their primary language.

Well WORA-TV sub-channel ABC 5 has opened for business. As of Midnight Tonight (joining In progress: jimmy kimmel live), transmissions began on 5.2 across Puerto Rico, as well the 're-launch' of the ABC 5 website. http://abc5.tv It seems incomplete, but there's a schedule page which showcased some off-network programming listings. If that is the case, then the channel has the rights to older off-network comedy reruns, including 'the nanny' and 'who's the boss' in the morning after GMA, and 'mad about you' and 'just shoot me' in the afternoon. There's also 'Ripley's believe it or not' (probably the dean cain/Kelly Packard version in the 90s/00s) after GH. I'm not sure if they're picking up any FIRST-RUN syndication shows at this time, as a poster suggested to pick up any show like Judge Mathis since not a lot of court shows air at least on local/cable affiliates serving Puerto Rico. Right now they're airing Eyewitness News from WABC, but they'll produce two local English speaking newscasts alongside a local access prime talk show hosted by a former Univision Puerto Rico morning co-host who was part of a large layoff due to Univision shutting down its local operations, transitioning the affiliate into a repeater for the network.

Sad news on the business front, former CNN, CNBC, FOX and most certainly, Wall street Week with Louis Ruykeyser Producer and Host Terry Keenan passed away at a young age of 53. God rest her soul eternal.

Last time on this thread, many were talking about the affiliation switch of ABC in Puerto Rico from low power WSJP (formerly WPRU, but the former two transmitters, it and WSJX-CW merged with WSJP to become one, thus those two signals went silent) to WORA as a sub-channel (based in mayaguez, but plans to transmit on the same channel 5 in Ponce and San Juan to cover the island). The switch takes place Sat. Nov. 1. In preparation, a :30 second promo was released as a tease for the new station. Its facebook page was put up as well:
http://www.facebook.com/DAME5PR
Another note, in Aguadilla/Mayaguez, the western retransmitters of Univision-11 and Telemundo-2 respectively, (WORA-5 and WOLE-12) are switching vice versa. Although still in negotiations, after 20 years as the western coverage for Univision, WORA would retransmit for Telemundo, which harkens as a return for the aforementioned partners, repeated from 1985-94, before then, for rival WAPA-TV from 1979-85. WOLE, which signs on to be a satellite for Univision, retransmitted for Telemundo from 1979-84, for WAPA-TV from 84-94, and Telemundo again from 1/1/95-1/1/15. WAPA was left with no western retransmitter for a while until it signed with WNJX (which then retransmitted WSTE-7 (supersiete) ) in 2001. Another retransmission mess, but not on a 1995 level so to speak.
P.S: Raymie, (or anyone can answer this for that matter) as someone whose more familiar with spanish language television, why are there so many religious stations in Puerto Rico? Is Puerto Rico that 'religious' of a country? Or is it probably better to make money as a religious station than even a low power/low rated ABC/CBS/FOX station, given the island's population of many speaking spanish more than english?
-
Don't forget WSJP-LP (geez such low power stations under one group) for the CW, another subchannel of WPRU. Are there other vacant full power stations out there in PR for a company to acquire or is the island THAT small for many transmitters to exist?CBS: No affiliate (it's certainly possible LKK Group attempts to secure a CBS affiliation for WPRU, though they lost it on one of their Virgin Islands stations five years ago)
Fox: WSJX-LP, San Juan, carried in digital on a subchannel of co-owned WPRU
NBC: WKAQ and semi-satellite WOLE, as a digital subchannel (note that WKAQ is a Telemundo O&O)

That gets pushed back to 4pm et/ 3p ct. It'll still be an hour show. Meaning instead of competing with 'Primer Impacto' (News Show), it would be competing against 'El gordo y la flaca' (Gossip Show). That also pushes 'Caso Cerrado' (court show) out of its longtime 4p slot to 3p. My question is this though, is this schedule shuffle reflective of the national feed, or is this a special feed for those 14 o&o stations dedicated to the special schedule?So what happens to Al Rojo Vivo? That show runs from 5-6pm ET/PT, is it getting cut to 30 minutes?

Speaking of 'Spirit of Texas', here's the inspiration of it all. The CD release of 'Spirit of Texas' by a singer or group rather named 'Mason Dixon':Two WFAA Spirit of Texas promos from 1984.
The 2 min. promo aired on WFAA setting its base to launch the now legendary campaign.
-
The Promo can be seen here for anyone to see.Beginning September 8th, Eyewitness News at Noon will be extended to a full hour from 12-1. The Chew will run 1-2, Millionaire 2-2:30, "Daytime Jeopardy" 2:30-3, General Hospital 3-4, then EWN First at Four.

To me, it's more common sense. Perhaps their relationship is on solid ground that it could lead to marriage, but who knows? Not to mention the boyfriend may not even be hired as chiefs qb and stick with Alex Smith.And this may just be how I was raised, but you should not make a cross-country move to live with your boyfriend unless you're married. They could break up tomorrow and she might regret leaving Philadelphia. But that's just me...

Fixed it for you. WFXT is in Boston. Nonetheless, what do you expect from certain people in the city of "Brotherly Love" when it's an oxymoron when they don't show their love back, after a person spent their time there before leaving, showing gratitude to the viewers. It's one thing to love your city, it's another when their attitude as such make that decision made by those like Mcdonnell easier at the end of the day.Kacie McDonnell is leaving WTXF in Philadelphia for KSHB in Kansas City. She's also girlfriend to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Aaron Murray.
I tell you what, never I have seen just pure hatred and rudeness directed at a personality for leaving a station. The comments towards and about her are atrocious. They're along the lines of "why would you ever want to live/work in Kansas City?" "some people spend their whole careers trying to reach a market of this size and you're choosing to leave it to go work in a small market like Kansas City," "you should have had a ring on it before you ever decided to move." What makes it odder is that her boyfriend Murray might not even make the roster...
P.S. As stated in the article, her boyfriend Aaron's brother Josh recently appeared on "The Bachelorette" 'winning' the heart of now fiancee Andi Dorfman in the finale.

Definitely WABC, hosted by Roz Abrams. You can't tell from the last second blurred image, but i assure you that's her. Here's a clearer open of the same theme from 1989 with Roz."New York Views" open, 1990. Was this WPIX? The theme sounds a lot like Michael Karp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8MyE5D8fT0
That theme is also definitely from Michael Karp. Headline under WABC from the 'credits' page.
http://michaelkarpmusic.com/credits.html
The show would later be altered to just "Views" in the later 90s, with a theme created by Sheldon (Shelly) Palmer. That later theme I remember well. Here's Palmer's site with the 'views' demo listed under 'Television & Radio Show themes'
-
No, 11am would be better to show the view and their flailing ratings "Who's boss?" The Talk just beat the view in demos alone last sweeps and GH is buoyed with stable ratings (due to few soaps in all and the only soap at 2pm)So the Meredith Vieira Show will air at 2pm on 4NY. I don't see how that is a good idea to compete with GH and The Talk. I think 11am or 3pm would have been better.

KNBC News Credits 1990 with chopper 4 flying over the san andreas fault (in faster motion and affordable fuel to go mind you)
Can anyone identify the music above? Production music much?

Any idea where this theme came from? (what package? or was it custom?)KTTV GDLA Open 1997. (I think the theme was from the mid 90s).

CBS Daytime is set. NBC Daytime should not try another talk show again. Nate Berkus, Jeff Probst, Meredith Vieira (much as i like her) should have sent them that message. Let the affiliates use the hour for news or local programming (eg. 4pm) or present something different to the affiliates (soap opera or an hour of games) that would be useful after Days of our lives. It's ABC Daytime that needs some help. This time, Katie and the FAB Life should have sent them the message. Ditto what i said about the hour that can be useful for NBC for ABC, this time before or after GH. Would at least bringing back OLTL (which had decent ratings unlike AMC prior to cancellation) or creating a new soap hurt that much, regardless of economics?
