Cross-promotion - no sooner said than done. They just did a piece on the entire Today family welcoming her (complete with a toast). *Because of Live with Kelly and Ryan, we in Orlando still get the 3rd and 4th hours at 10 and 11.

#MeanwhileInPhoenix... how much 7 Boston/Miami have they been watching? Ugh.

Skip to 20:40 - WRC News 4 (Washington) open. How long has Vance been there again?

#MeanwhileInSacramento You couldn't at least pay your Internet hosting bill?

It's happened. Whether it be network browbeating or local management being a bit more optimistic about their network morning news now, WWL has started carrying CBS This Morning. http://www.wwltv.com/mb/entertainment/television/mytv/details-on-eyewitness-morning-news-at-7-am-move-to-wupl-tv/226496898

Meanwhile in Portland... http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/protesters-target-portland-station-over-story/178647 https://m.facebook.com/events/1611066115852635/ I'm just gonna leave this here.

KARE (WTCN) 11's rebuilding year.

ABC's 50th anniversary special from 2003. News segments are on 1:01:58 (Barbara Walters retrospective leading into a GMA retrospective with Diane Sawyer), 2:03:39 (bloopers with Charles Gibson) and 2:39:16 (Jennings and Koppel). Also at the tail end, WFTV open with Opsahl and Salt which is longer on my main channel ( - forgive the slight video slowdown at the beginning).

In my opinion, the Echols-Warmoth pairing is the best thing they've got going for them. Now more than ever, longevity is key in this business, and they've been a team largely on and kinda off since 1997 (though we could split hairs and say they've been together since 1994, I believe, on the weekend shift). No offense to Martha Sugalski - I met her once when she was at WESH, and she was very warm - but why mess with what works? If anything, they could've kept Echols and Warmoth at 4, and have Estevez with Sugalski at 5 - they have a good rapport as well. Then again, Estevez gels with anyone easy. Watch him with Nancy Alvarez if you don't believe me.

Meanwhile in Orlando, the recently refreshed WFTV has announced Bob Opsahl's retirement. His last newscasts, after 38 years, will happen May 27th. The following Monday, Greg Warmoth will assume duties at 5 and 6, in addition to the 11pm. Jorge Estevez will replace Warmoth on the 4pm. http://www.wftv.com/news/local/bob-opsahl-announces-retirement/230835965?ecmp=wftv_social_twitter_sfp

Meanwhile in Orlando, Old Man Treanor is officially out of retirement. Danny Treanor, who was former weatherman at WFTV and News 13, was recently freelancing at WKMG; effective this weekend, he'll be sticking around the station for a while (specifically weekends at 6/6:30 and 11). Also, Madeline Evans, who has been working behind the scenes as a weather producer will handle weekend morning duties starting next weekend. As for Elizabeth Hart, she has departed the station "to pursue other tv opportunities".

I find that surprising. One week back and another week gone again. But we all know Cox likes promoting within. More the "experience doing stories" angle than the "experience within the town" angle. (For better examples, see Jacksonville.) I know Cox is trying their damndest to mold 25 in their own image, but as mentioned numerous times, what works in one market may not exactly work in another. On a related note, maybe they can stop with those IDs they've been airing since before she was on maternity leave. That aside, best wishes to her (and meterologist/husband Jason Brewer, who's leaving WESH).

Not bad at all. Goodbye ABC News logo on top and ABC News text on bottom. (NEVER understood it)

As long as there's some kind of brand improvement that comes with it (however major [graphics and music improvement] or minor [slightly modified logo]), all for it. It's not like they could do much worse. Remember THE 6:00 News? On another note... http://www.cleveland.com/tv-blog/index.ssf/2015/08/channel_19_taking_its_news_operation_in_a_new_direction.html Cleveland 19 News is go. Monday at noon. The $1,000,000 question. Will they finally use their 19 station logo, or keep their blah 19 news logo?

I'm surprised nobody picked up on this. Josh Benson, after stints here at WFTV and WFOR (and a heavy falling out with the latter) resurfaced in Tampa last week - WFLA at 4:00 and 5:30. https://mobile.twitter.com/tvproducerdave/status/618257011994689537

I would rather have that WFSB.com lozenge disappear, so the 3 can align downward. It would look so much better.

WSB too. [i wish the two 7's - SVN and HDH - got him back. Paul Turner don't fit]

Since everyone was doing compilations, I figured I should join in. ALMOST every Inside Edition open since debut [with a tidbit here and there] [yt] [/yt] Try this link if vid above doesn't work.

It was definitely used for weekdays around that time. With a female voiceover for a while too - I know because even before the Charlie/Diane/Robin era, we've always had it on there (our house, then and now, is a channel 9 house).

Initials - Looks like they just pasted on the Eyewitness News name instead of just natively animating it with the open (read WWL) - don't like it. And instead of just putting KENS5.com in rotation with the logo bug, again, Eyewitness News. I guess that's kinda breaking the mold, since 99% of the other Gannett stations rotate the main logo with the website.

The theme in question is from the promo campaign they used at the time - "We've Got Good News" (said promo was once on YouTube, but the user that uploaded it was kicked out). The music for that was, in turn, based on the "You Can Count On Us" campaign ( )

KABC 2004 close - Pristine quality!
