  1. A meteorologist shouldn't be calling the hub to tell them to get on or off the air at all. If there's severe weather their focus needs to be on the weather. A producer, manager, or director should be the ones calling the hub (and frankly there should be a producer in the booth during extended severe weather coverage anyway). However, given how poorly staffed and inexperienced many newsrooms are nowadays I wouldn't be surprised if some mets in some markets have had to take up that responsibility as well.
  2. Doesn't WCAU have an infamously small studio? If they still do then there's only so much they can do with the space available.
  3. How does Gray have any money to buy Cox?
  4. Glad they kept the music.
  5. Ben Pine is stepping down as chief meteorologist at WHAS this Friday. Mallory Schnell will replace him in the evenings. https://www.whas11.com/article/news/local/whas11-chief-meteorologist-ben-pine-stepping-down-new-leader-mallory-schnell/417-eeb1d3e7-e7d6-46f7-850f-540ea68eb00f
  6. It's ridiculous how THRILLED I am they FINALLY expanded the lower thirds to be 16x9.
  7. I might have personally enjoyed Peter Alexander more as successor, but Tom is fine. I think he's clearly supposed to be NBC's version of David Muir - perennially young-looking handsome man that exudes confidence
  8. Yet World News Tonight still has those archaic, squished 4x3-minded graphics (well, the lower thirds at least).
  9. That's pretty crazy. My first thought is if it has to do with that Kamala Harris interview. Article mentions that too.
  10. CNN has picked up on the Allen story. It's nice to see the comments and reactions are extremely negative.
  11. Allen Media is letting go ALL local meteorologists at ALL stations and looks to hub local weather forecasts out of the Weather Channel in Atlanta.
  12. Well...what was the video for those that missed it?
  13. They do weather from the backyard all the time.
  14. At least they appear to have an actual (but very dark) weather center in studio now. Not a fan of those angled peacocks either. Would've looked better on the desk if they did what some NBC shops do and split the peacock in half. Speaking of the desk, it's overall an improvement from the standard Tegna desk that was the horribly awkward three-arm round shape.
  15. Mentioned in the Sets & Studios section, this is only temporary for the week has they have work done on their main studio.
