While I agree what we saw in the preview is at least tacky flawed and underwhelming (I do like the solid yellow Eye), I'm willing to wager there is more to it officially that isn't any of the three (at least I hope so). And I believe CTM won't stray from what made them unique and praised in the first place. We shall see.
I certainly wouldn't be surprised.
A full hour of each of his incessant "court" shows each weekday, Funny You Should Ask every afternoon, Comics Unleashed late nights, all his many infotainment shows during weekends, and those weird sitcoms that many well-known TV actors somehow signed up for on weeknights.
That's a strategy.
not. one. bit.
There are some people who still like and watch CNN US no matter what problems it has. Yeah yeah, online--but just because you don't like it, shouldn't mean others should lose what they consider their news source. It's like asking if it's plausible for Fox News or MSNBC to go away.
I think it's fine too.
And I get the point: the news is all around town, not at the desk; the anchors just relay it to us from it.
Plus, some of the best news stations in the country have put out corny-er promos than this before and they get praised, so...
As for the rumor that CTM would be more pop-ier, I hope it's false. I looked forward to and watched CTM from the beginning because it wasn't like GMA and Today. I wanted news in the morning and the fluff in the evening, and CTM was (and still is) perfect for that purpose.
Agreed.
Wow. Since Charlie Rose's November 2017 firing, this might be it's fourth anchor change-up CTM has had. And since it's 2012 debut, the fifth. Damn, this show can't hold on to a stable lineup without something throwing a wrench.
Wow (if confirmed).
I didn't think Sinclair would have it in them to buy all these regionals, but then again they have the money to be gobble up all those stations, and did have the balls to start a short-lived kids cartoon block, so that's that I guess.
Maybe they can rebrand them as "Marquee" or "Stadium (insert city here)" to expand either brand throughout regionals (again if confirmed).
We'll see.
Surprising at first, but I very much like this new title (and not just because I really disliked the former). The new set looks really great (even if is on stage left of the studio in comparison).
Strahan and Haines have become a great hosting duo from the day the show started and has become appointment daytime TV for me since, so this new title is much deserving (for them and us).
Damn, I wish I watched that; Would've been odd but fascinating. This reminds me of when Anita Brikman once filled in for Rob Jennings over a decade ago.
Congrats to him. I liked him a lot as World News Now and America This Morning co-anchor and this to me is a big promotion to a much more desirable position and timeslot. Great pickup by MSNBC.
It's revealed that the Third Hour will be leaving Studio 6A in the new year. Reasons are logistics -- i.e. running from one studio to another [both in separate buildings] in time for the show, not appearing in the last quarter of the main show and using a studio/set forever trapped in infamy.
Makes ssense to me, but I'll miss this verison in front of a studio audience.
There is nothing about NBC (as far as the rest of us know) that you even remotely like... yet you give them all of your time and awareness (at least from the news and links found here). #ThingsThatMakeYouGoHmm
That's what the work week is for. What Peter does in his private life with his wife is his business, not yours (or ours for that matter).
Network correspondents go back and forth between cities for its shows all the time. If Bob Schieffer could do it for an entire year, Peter surely can for the time being.
Even if the younger hires are actually talented?? Even if the consumer prefers the older, more seasoned anchor or reporter, they should realise they aren't going to be at the station forever -- and the execs know this, so they hire these younger fresh faces to keep the cycle of reporting the news going or else they'll have trouble having enough people in the stable to fill the line-up.
lmao Stealing what thunder?
A new anchor can't beat a new set
(going on what goes on here).
Congrats to Jessica K. on the market upgrade, and to KYW for this great pickup.
