ABC 7 Denver

I believe that's Bari Weiss.

Glenn Hansen from SpotVoice.

Thank you! That clarifies something then. WTEN is using Glenn Hansen, not Lonnie Perkins. They are no longer using Atlas. I'm still a fan of Max McGill.

I will remind people that being able to rely on tax dollar instead of corporate dollars are a lot more consistent and means that you don't have to be focused on entertainment.

Nope! It's no longer Beau Weaver. Now it's Allan Peck. Not not AI-ish, AL-ish.

EXACTLY! Death nell to CBS News, I guess.

Nope!

If only station groups had movie gfx budgets. To be honest, as a movie set goes, this news set looks authentic. The lighting detail is amazing and I would be comfortable seeing it every day. I wonder if the scenic designer for the movie contracted with a news set designer to bring that authenticity. In the second shot, I suspect that the weather map is keyed in after the fact and it's just green screen. From this third shot, how many camera operators do you need? Why are these camera's manual? We need just one floor director, thanks and weather is usually stationary. Walking through the trailer, frame by frame, their must be 30 extras on set including a floor director, 3 camera operators, 2 makeup artists (which station has the budget for that these days?) and a bunch of writers and gaffers around. I don't think stations had this many support staffers mulling around back in the 80s! Would you post the link to that segment that the KC tv station posted?

I don't know where else to put this (and if you have any recommendations, I will move this post). Disclosure Day, a few film from Steven Spielberg dropped its first trailer on December 18th. In the first several seconds of this trailer, Emily Blunt's character is presenting a weather report at a fictional NBC station in Kansas City. We can of course rationally say of the images below that 1. There wouldn't be that many people on a new set these days or ever. and 2. Spielberg wouldn't build a custom set for this. So we're probably seeing an existing set from a local affiliate (DDG maybe?). I don't immediate recognize the affiliate to whom this set belongs. Does anyone else? The U3 on the weather monitor also scream EW Scripps, too, which given that KSHB is in Kansas City, is a nice touch.

Interesting contrast. While Gray moved KMOV away from downtown St. Louis, Fox is ponying up a ton of money to move KCPQ to downtown Seattle.

I can't put my finger on it, but I don't think this is AI. I've heard this voice elsewhere. I can't place it.

I'm really not a fan of that 7 light fixture. It's gaudy and wouldn't add that much on camera.

I was gonna come here to post this too! I love this analysis.

My AG has filed a suit for Colorado. I know he and his Political Director. So I can just comment directly. KUSA is still Denver's juggernaut. So Nexstar would just torch the place as they have with KDVR|KWGN.

No. Which is why I suspect that they are dogsh...

The thing that is most frustrating to me is that management has doubled down on aggregating linear distribution and content. They aren't innovating... at all.

What?

Feels like a knockoff of WPIX.

They could call it than SkyLA, or SkySoCal but I don't know if the previous is copyrightable and the latter is still too many syllables.

Payday, write a book, and return to FNC afterwords. Though I wouldn't be surprised that as this bandwagoning effect of hard right new product doesn't yield any profit, CBS considers completely shutting down it's News department or Paramount spins off CBS News and Stations completely.

I way loved that WTVJ set, though I wished the monitor on the front of the anchor desk wasn't just 22".

Hell, even NewsNation looks better. Because "fine" wins impressions.

Wow! Cutting corners. Lame.

Or from monopolistic station groups run by Conservative CEOs.
