  1. If FOX brass in NYC or LA were smart, they should cut a deal and stop in house news operations at FOX 29 and let another TV station in town air the news on FOX 29 via outsourcing . Sooner or later, they have to stop the bleeding. The FOX 29 on-air news product is not drawing ratings anymore, no matter what the on-air people do. They are in last place for a reason.

     

    You're not wrong, but I'd miss some of the on-air talent that's been there since the good old days (Dave Schratweiser, Bruce Gordon, et. al.), but the station took a sharp nosedive when they lost the pairing of Dave and Dawn. I don't really their adoption of the FNC-inspired O&O look really helped matters, either.

  2. Just moved to the Philly area and caught this station on satellite. It is a fairly respectable news station that seems to serve the rural part of the Philadelphia market. Very much like their 10pm news team.

     

    The third largest metropolitan area in Pennsylvania is hardly rural, with a regional population of 820k+.

  3. Is Fox 29 ever going to get a new 5,6, and 10pm studio? When you watch, it looks horrible.

     

    I was saddened when they moved from the Good Day set to the one upstairs, since it was just another FOX O&O set. Admittedly, there are hurdles (read: stupid people) when dealing with a streetside studio, but it seems like that one's elevated enough from the sidewalk to buffer them from any crazy levels of stupid. I'd say that they should just move downstairs for the evening broadcasts.

  4. OK, see you in the hallways. I'm out.

    My job at nbc10 has me busy some days, others, not so much. It just depends. I post while I am at work. I have been in the business for 30 years, it will be 31 in october. please stop the personal attacks. I got on this board, because I figured some of you like the inside info. I am sincerely sorry if I've been a bit childish in my posts which I have. I will work hard to report the facts from now on and not gossip. but enough about me, back to the topic.

     

    Just shut up already. It's apparent that nobody gives a shit.
