Thinking about it they've done it before. They had a spot of one of their anchors standing in the studio while a time lapse of the show going on in the background. Additionally they did a weather one with a satellite truck in the background against the sky with clouds in the harbor - with the dish moving around at different elevations.

I don't think they're hurting for money - they wouldn't have hired two new anchors/reporters to fill shifts that for years were presented by a single person.

It turns out in the promo the talent will be in slow motion and the background will be "super fast mo".

I'm slightly confused about the use of the green screen for these promo shoots 11 is doing? Would they be shooting straight into the green screen, keying it out and keying it over a better shot of the same location? [MEDIA=instagram]BLkX13kgkHk[/MEDIA]

I can't imagine the sacrifices that families make for those that are in the news business. I've heard way too often tales of husband and wife journalists with kids working far apart.

Multiple news sources are saying that their sources are saying there's no discussion of punishment for such an old offense. That being said some articles say this has pissed off a lot of staffers who may not want to work with a misogynist in addition and that this could cause tensions between him and Tamron to rise.

He went to a small private liberal arts college (I did too), came from a well known family and was also two time captain of their lacrosse team all seem to be the makings of a douche. Apparently people at Access Hollywood were furious and believe that NBC News or someone at Today leaked the full tape. Access Hollywood edited the tape in their airing to protect the image of their former host. NBC News was planning on their own report after it aired on Access. They however deny the leak.

A cute little story at the end of KXAS's late newscast. A five year old boy is obsessed with the Texas Thunder Truck that they made him his own out of one of those little battery power cars young kids can drive around in. It has a tornado on the hood, the NBC 5 logo on the sides, lightning bolts throughout and mud on the tires. They plan on making a little satellite to put on back. I say the real Texas Thunder Truck needs to pay the boy a visit.

Who reported the fact of the tape first? Rachel Maddow made it sound like the Washington Post got it from a source but other NBC properties made it seem like they released it. I doubt NBC would be dumb enough to release the tape themselves (unless they only reported on clips and not the full conversation) given what Billy Bush said. Then again they could have leaked it as a way to get rid of Billy Bush on Today.

There could be a million things as to why she'd leave a nice afternoon-evening shift in DMA 4 to move to DMA 7 It could be seen as a demotion but maybe WRC came to her and offered her a greater salary despite a different shift? Hopefully she won't be stuck doing stupid segments out in the field where they interviewing businesses or some sort before giving an awful general forcast because they don't have the maps.

Adam May is returning to weekend news in Baltimore. He will now be coanchoring WBAL's 6, 10 and 11 PM newscasts in addition to reporting during the week. This is the second anchor/reporter hire they've made in a month that (so far) doesn't appear to be replacing anybody. [MEDIA=twitter]783376830078263296[/MEDIA] After Al Jazeera America folded he's been freelancing for CBS Newspath. I'm sure he could have gotten a job in a bigger market if he wanted too. Baltimore seems to me be like a stepping stone market if your young and single but you don't see many people who set down roots here with families leave (or if they do it's to DC).

It never was a studio until the show moved there.

I hate to be the guy that links to another thread for this topic - but here's one I started. It appears it's also the one where Scott got his info from. I hope he doesn't think that the rendering in the article is what the newset will look like.

Even if the lady was still in charge of daytime Joy came back when the show was transferred to the news division.

I forget was Joy "let go" originally or did she decide to leave on her own. I really like the days she moderates and enjoyed her HLN and Current TV shows.

Maybe I'll start a thread later about Sky's new cube studio in their new building but here's a quickie. [MEDIA=imgur]w1nInnI[/MEDIA]

Apparently there's a 19 day arts festival in Grand Rapids Michigan. So WZZM asked a local art college, Kendall College of Art and Design at Ferris State University to come up with their newsdesk for the event. The news desk will be used for their coverage from the art festival. The desk is made up from reclaimed materials and has a circular theme. The items featured on the desk represent various industries from Grand Rapids and Michigan as a whole There are many beer bottles (wonder if they were donated or just came from the dorms) as a homage to the many draft breweries in the area. Let's just say that it's unique: Image Courtesy of TVNewsCheck's MarketShare.

Will Donna be doing the whole hour while Andre and Stan each do 1/2 ?

Curious where is Jonathan Dienst coming from? Is it one of the bureaus? [MEDIA=imgur]id=a%2FofJT8;type=album[/MEDIA]

WBAL is still using the old layout for desktop and mobile. But they don't even plug their website anymore. They say it will be featured in the WBAL app. A little chyron that used to have their website logo was replaced with the App Store logos.

They aren't the same episode. The secondary airings are usually episodes from two weeks prior.

I didn't watch much (episode or two a month) of Live with Kelly and Michael during his tenure but he seemed to do that on Live as well. I think some of it may have to do with his skills at reading the TelePrompTer and I wonder if anyone has given him lessons on how to read one properly. I don't watch Fox NFL Sunday (or any pregame show save for FNIA as I'm likely sleeping) so I don't necessarily know Michaels role on the show. I know analysts have to prepare tremendously for the show, take copious notes, know the game inside and out - but is one of the key skills to read from a TelePrompTer aside from a few tosses/teases? When watching Football Night in America you can see their studio hosts read off the prompter. Maybe I'm wrong but it seems like when their analysts like Tony Dungy are talking they seem to adlib or follow their notes. Michael Strahan personally isn't my cup of tea as he seems a bit too goofy and aloof personality wise. That being said I've heard is that he's a good man. Even though he's played in the NFL for 15 and should be used to attention, nerves and pressure of a demanding job with millions watching it is important to remember that he is starting a new highly promoted job. Good Morning America is a huge upgrade from Live as it's the most watched morning show in the US. He has a lot of money riding on this and so does ABC it's completely normal to have jitters and mix ups on the first days.

Out of curiosity do the different network O&O's have a dedicated Washington correspondent serving the O&O stations only? I'm thinking something like the bureau reporter/teams that Scripps, Hearst, Sinclair and Cox have. Or do the O&Os have to duke it out with the entire affiliate base if they want a live report?

That there's light out at 4AM? Don't know what direction the cameras pointing so it could be a sunset instead of a sunrise. Side note: are any of these graphics flexible enough to feature a live video in the opens?

Any word on why they dropped her co-billing? On the GMA Website Geoge and Robin receive the Anchor billing while Lara and Michael are billed Co-Anchors.
