  1. Is Sacramento an adjacent market over the mountains?
  2. You just copy the link and leave it there.
  3. I thought pretty much anything a station submits that isn’t a pool is embargoed in the DMA.
  4. Is it just me or does this read like a poor press release? https://marketshare.tvnewscheck.com/2019/01/30/viewers-like-new-24-hour-news-just-news-no-opinion/
  5. Likely they’re kept at the DC Bureau or a station that always contributes to a team of reporters. Mic flags are cheap (start at around $50/piece - down to $30 or $20s if you buy more than 10 or 20 respectively ) and stations should be able spare one or two.
  6. From here on out please discuss any set changes for Fox 5 / WNYW over in its designated thread in Sets & Studios.
  7. WJZ weekend news got a new co anchor - Max McGee to go with Ava-joye Burnett.
  8. It was longer‽!? My next question is what type of advertisers were there?
  9. A lot of stations got those graphics as they were undergoing SD to HD refits. Now while they didn’t go HD until a year later they were probably already switched to VizRT which it seemed a lot of their stations used. WBAL got the logo graphics when they went HD and Viz.
  10. A five minute commercial break? That’s going to loose a lot of viewers.
  11. I was following this from a truck operators Instagram. I knew they were moving but not the specifics.
  12. Sky 5 has been flying according to their website. Some stations use a reporter hired by the helicopter company and some outsource morning traffic helicopter reports to a third party who may have their own bird. Was Mike Lorber on all day or just one daypart? The helicopter inn their promos N5QY is registered to Hellinc - Helicopters Inc of Linden, NJ. Edit: Looks like Lorber flew in the Sky 5 seen in promos.
  13. Not sure if that’s a compliment for MSNBC - we are talking about a person who has a gold toilet and his primary residence is golden and marble. Hardly the type for style advice.
  14. Are there rotating Across America segments where they’re maybe scheduled to playout at certain day parts? As in maybe when you tune in repeatedly at a certain time ones is meant to be played out where another one could be more relatable for breakfast viewing.
  15. Out of fairness is it possible regarding the Across America segment there are multiple? And how do you watch? As for the ticker they should subscribe to the AP’s ticker service (I assume they still offer it).
  16. NBC must of bought in bulk. Stations are getting these midlife refreshes. Some vary from small walls like at WRC and in the Wx center at WTVJ to huge installations at KXAS where they got a large wall behind the desk and a larger one on one wall (that didn’t have any displays).
  17. Throwing this out there... https://twitter.com/jeremymbarr/status/1087038261216845824
  18. One thing some shows need to do in my mind is to have a separate graphics package. In that five minute sample reel from WWL almost half used the standard TEGNA graphics. If they want viewers to know the difference they either need to create a custom package or highly modify the standard templates (like maybe a distinct background for the lower thirds). Additionally it would be best to come from a different set or a redresssed set area. See these examples from newly launched CA Live.
  19. If they are moving lIve to a different station that makes me think that the contract is ending soon. As for what what you said even if they are getting hash Marks they are likely getting more money than running a syndicated show. Do these shows use regular news people or some hire specifically for the show? WMAR uses a separate host for Midday Maryland and I think WBFF uses a traffic anchor along with some one else.
  20. Well hearing that their set was installed in the newsroom explains the one image I saw on social media where a corner of the newsroom was cornered off with stage curtains. But other images I saw it looked like the studio was in a regular room. I am intrigued as to what NBC plans on doing with some of the empty sound stages. They could probably divide it into two and have two decent size ones for both stations.
  21. From the videos online it appeared they used the regular desk at 5pm. If I was a betting man I’d say they’re getting the LED wall. However isn’t there another place they could use temporarily like a newsroom desk?
  22. I imagine they’ll stay on the weekend. NBC has been doing that with their First Look team the past year. They probably have the afternoons off and with no Sunday shows they probably can leave at 9AM. Willie Geist, Ayman Mohyeldin, Yasmin Vossoughian and Jose-Diaz Balart all do six day work weeks.
  23. All very good points @Eat News. My opinion of them being conservative is the fact they mentioned they were shared by Drudge, Newt Gingrich and a Former Speaker of the House. To me it would have helped their case if they mentioned other outlets that have shared their content. In addition to the comments/followers/favorites/likes their reporters and photojournalists have made on social media. Also, they made an appearance on The Ingraham Angle.
  24. The only thing I can’t get past is CNN requesting a package from KUSI a station known with a conservative bent. When there’s breaking news in San Diego who do they most likely turn to? I’m betting KFMB or KGTV for immediate reports on the ground. Maybe KUSI for images. To be fair the CNN ditched the AP as a source years ago. Many large news organizations have developed their style guides such as the BBC. Reuter’s unsurprisingly has their own online. I’m sure many others have their own.
  25. Yeah NewscastStudio confirmed it was above homebase so the windowed portion. They briefly showed the exterior and the upstairs portion has white walls facing the windows.
