Action Newsroom

Has anyone noticed this recently: On the station's AN livestream, commercials that air on the station during newscasts air in the livestream, instead of a still image or clip that says "6abc WILL BE RIGHT BACK". I first saw this this morning and thought this was odd. Has this begun a little longer than that? What are you guys' thoughts?

I don't think you are--at least halfway. Since the official logo isn't shown, there is a chance something is going on at the Alphabet's graphics department. But,,, Usually in some promos for the national evening news programs. the logo is different from what's official and shown on your screen. So it's okay to assume that, but for now, I think it's very unlikely.

If you guys haven't been following the PIX Engineers twitter page (like me, apparently) for the past several days, then you've been missing out on this: [twitter]pix11tech/status/571126037616205824[/twitter] and this: [twitter]pix11tech/status/571144359204265984[/twitter] (which looks really nice) and most especially, this: [twitter]pix11tech/status/571444520241528832[/twitter] The new newsroom is complete and ready for business!!

And another thing: I wish they planned on expanding the news to 11am and weekend mornings again. They are doing much better lately, and it would be great to expand, when the time is right.

I think that's a great idea. Jay Dow has really risen in the ranks during the news division. And he left quite an impression doing the weekend news on occasion. It would be great to see him anchoring the news more. And...come on...who doesn't want to see Kaity Tong anchoring weekdays again. after so long??

To another matter: Has the station mentioned any updates on the new newsroom and/or a new set recently? Or has the plans still been abandoned?

Any of you guys notice that WINK now has some L3 graphics jacking off CNN?

I can understand because of the bright yellow L3 top, and how we're used to a black top, but I disagree. I can read them fine.

I loved the previous look as well; the simplicity and use of black and yellow was what sold me on the concept. I don't like the clunkiness of the logo graphic, but I do like the color. I'm never used to change either; unless I'm told about it; that's when I'm preparing for it. I understand if this came after the Super Bowl if CBS was broadcasting it, but not in this case.

I think the logo is great and has aged very well. I don't think it needs an update either, Maybe not for the foreseeable future. The modernized logo does look nice (sans NBC Peacock), but I agree with the decision to change back, as I like the original slightly more. I'd at least like it a little less glossy.

^Meh. It's fine, and not that bad an idea. If someone as CBS suggested the thought of doing a SB promo for This Morning too, they'd jump at that chance. Now that would be a great idea. It needs the viewers it deserves.

Me too. The theme sounds simple and light, yet packs a heavy punch Plus, it's really catchy and not at all boring. I find this the best theme of the three morning shows.

Such a horrible year for her. I send my condolences to Diane and her family.

He has such a beautiful baby. I ope he gets as much bonding time as possible with the little guy and his partner. Congratulations again to the happy family.

I agree, Craig is fantastic on the weekends, and would be fantastic on weekdays too. He'll be a great successor to G.

If this would happen: I think this would be a good thing for them. They have the resources, segments and correspondents for a third hour. and will definitely make GMA #1 against the rest of Today. Meanwhile, about The View, these damn changes on-camera just can't stop. Now off-camera? They need to stop before it ends up a show about gaming, tabloids and occasional politics co-produced by IGN and Disney Channel. (Yeah, I'm over-exaggerating, but unless changes can happen this way.)

It seems like they waited for his term to begin so they can throw in a ton of stories at him to cover, and he does it so well. And in great timing too.

Continuing the ratings story, here's a report by TVN about WN win being overturned involving Dan Harris...and CollegeHumor founder Ricky Van Veen. You won't believe how Van Veen comes in in this. http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/overturned-evening-news-win-gets-personal_b242157

Just saw the tail-end before SNL, and boy the windows look really nice! Can't wait to see the rest next week.

I'm not sure but moving to either an earlier timeslot or another timeslot. I'm moving toward the former, because all the other stations are filled at this point.

https://twitter.com/DanMannarino/status/517671302891847680 From a post on his Twitter page, Dan Mannarino has announced that he will fill in for Kori Chambers on the Morning News with Sukanya Krishnan tomorrow and Monday.

Oh God, I hate how that thing looks on air. So cheesy and looks like it was put together in a day with not much room for editing or improvement. Plus the camera angle and lighting looks really tacky. The camera is probably one of those small cameras stations use for reports in their newsrooms so it can fit here, but still.

Just saw this a few minutes ago. Makes a reference to "Good Evening America", a name we throw around in ABC News threads.
