  1. MARGINALLY better at 10? But the bar is so low. I'll give them a week or two to see if they iron out the most egregious kinks.
  2. Discussion ongoing in the new O&O graphics thread, if you want our, um, mild opinions.
  3. The freaking desk.
  4. Nice. I hate it.
  5. Because no one gives a damn about that basic attention to detail. How can they be one of the last stations to switch, and look not at all ready? No updated video loop, the desk graphic in the same. Shall I continue? Points for not using the CBS Sports Los Angeles graphic, because the bar is just that low.
  6. Goddammit. At least the CBS2 isn't still outlined...I guess?
  7. I forget that Gutfeld even exists. Turned it on for 20 seconds. Tattooed, backwards hat guy, draped in a wrestling belt: "Jill Biden isn't a real doctor," because she can't do surgery, or whatever shit. Annnnnnnd, pass.
  8. Honestly, I'd be totally okay if they were to bounce the evening team to a 6pm start, giving the 4pm team an additional hour, unless they eventually envision a 3pm newscast for that crew, considering the bleak hellscape that is daytime syndication. That said, Skilling is gonna do what he damn well wants, as he damn well should. IF he were to cut back, I think he keeps the marquee late block. There's little reason to relegate him to their 2 weakest hours of the day (neck and neck with NBC5 for 2nd at 5pm, and an outright 3rd at 6pm). As for Micah, I'd imagine they're in no rush for her to return, at this point. Her doctors are obviously calling the shots, and not her bosses, but with 2 election nights already missed and summer coming up quick, nothing major should be rushing her potential timeline.
  9. This thread is about Tucker's dismissal, any pending litigation, his next career move, the network's plan for the time slot, and other related matters. If it further devolves into largely unrelated political matters, we'll shut this down. There's literally anywhere else on the rest of the internet to discuss and/or rant about such matters.
  10. And he will be taking over on weekend mornings, starting next week, I think? Pretty much, anyway, as Iisha Scott's baby is due within 3 weeks, and when she returns, she will be moving to 11am & 4pm with Alex and Marion.
  11. I'll repeat, since some of you are running with that screenshot... WBBM has not debuted the new look. That image is from a promotions department video from last fall. It is not necessarily a sign of their final branding.
  12. Even if Tamsen is going on leave, for any extended amount of time, like others have said, they still wouldn't outright replace her in promos. bxxx_pm__bookend_promo_10 (1080p).mp4
  13. Just for the record, this series of videos was posted 7-plus months ago. Things could have changed, since then, but yes, it's the only thing any of us have seen hinting at where they might be headed with the branding.
  14. And who's paying for them to have 6 weeknight anchors? Certainly not Nexstar or any sane station owner in 2023.
  15. That's a normal thing. My affiliate airs this every morning coming out of the final break of the morning news. She doesn't have a newsy role, but I'm guessing she has the availability to provide these pre-recorded previews throughout the morning.
  16. Updated with new version (4/14, 12:40am CT)
  17. And in Chicago flag colors... Was NBC ahead of its time? I kind of hope so, honestly.
  18. New 3, for sure, with no CBS eye attached during the news. The flair of the new numeral is lost when at such a small scale, in the box, with the eye.
  19. The final product is green, but unfortunately, the 3 is co-branded with the CBS eye in the box, like New York and others. Paired with the black ticker, it's a very handsome look.
  20. I was just telling a friend yesterday that I think Ravi's slot either goes to Mark, or an outsider. No in-between.
  21. A Thursday, this was only their 5th night in the newly-built NBC Tower.
  22. Cheryl Nelson That said, out of personal curiosity, what are the weather assignments on FOX5, these days, under normal circumstances? Mike on GDNY, Nick at night (ha), but where does everyone else appear?
