Action Newsroom

Hey if it works for Tribune's legacy station, it can work for its other stations. I see it as a perfect representation of half of them.

I like it too. The desk is slick (although the vertical version logo doesn't look right), and its placement in the middle of the first floor set is okay (though not great). The updates over the last few years could make your head spin though. Time to tone it down, I guess.

Mic flag or no, I feel sorry for the guy being made to make the same report over and over and over. I'd hope they're being paid handsomely for this; but this is Nexstar...sooo next to peanuts.

I'm not sure, but it would make sense for her show to start in the Winter. It certainly would be foolish of them to cut even 15 minutes of Football Night in America for her. ...Maybe 30. That show drags on like nobody's business.

Another Kelly scoop: Megyn will join NBC News in May, with her weekday news show (and probably her Sunday newsmagazine as well) premiering in the Fall. http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/tv/2017/01/27/megyn-kelly-nbc-news-today-show/97141790/

A new report from the Post says what those who made the assumption (me included) may be correct: NBC is axing Today's Take (and not Days of Our Lives) for Megyn Kelly's new show. And the timeslot is still unknown, but may be 10am, pushing Kathie Lee and Hoda to 9am. http://pagesix.com/2017/01/27/huge-shakeup-at-today-to-make-way-for-megyn-kelly/?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_source=P6Twitter&utm_medium=SocialFlow

Can't say I'm surprised or shocked. It was inevitable and Mike kinda got what came to him, since it was one of the 7 Words You Can't Say on Television. Thank God it was for a week though. In the possibly immortal words of the great(?) Tommy Wizeau: "IT'S BOWLSHET!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZtOAqMeAuE I don't care if that was unprofessional. He said what we were thinking, and he was absolutely right. Never loved him more after that.

No doubt a painful and heartbreaking loss that no one of any age should endure. My prayers and condolences to Melanie, her husband and her family.

Are you sure this is new? Besides the GFX, the video looks like it was recorded off a Betamax tape!

Not to sound too optimistic, but maybe they'll bring Ann back for the Anniversary show. They brought back Deborah Norville for the 60th special (and we all know how long she lasted). Maybe not; I'm not too sure. We shall see.

That name is a mouthful. Something like "7 Investigators" or "7 Investigates" are/sound much better (at least IMO).

Okay...

Actually Glor was a weekend anchor of the Evening News 2 years before the last remnant of The Early Show. He'd later go back to it after the former's cancellation for a few more years. I know most news anchors have less personality than the hosts but he apparently had enough to stay with CBS all these years.

To each his own, but I like The Talk as much as (somtimes more than) The View. Ironically enough, sometimes for the reason you stated. I agree with all accept Wilkos. At least he cares about his guests. Those other two deserve the ax.

The tweet in question: [MEDIA=twitter]806285238418612224[/MEDIA]

Nope. WCAU took over broadcasting rights. It's theirs for the long run now.

Yep. Set's been upgraded. http://www.newscaststudio.com/2016/11/28/news-12-new-jersey-set/?utm_source=FB&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=FBPost

From now on, every time I hear or read Jeezy or French Montana's names, I'll always think of ol' Jim laughing like a schoolgirl after flubbing them. That'll bring some weight to them.

I don't have to tell you, but that title screams "redundant" like Nickelback screams "crappy rock music made for douchebags who drink Blue Ribbon".
