visual effects could be better. the set is the best it can possibly be, don't change the set, i am a fan of it.

they should change their name to the history channel. also no worries.

these graphics look really good

i think he means it's similar to the Disney mandates of recent.

how will the independents perform in this type of market? that's what I'm curious about.

around the same time Sinclair started to move some affiliations to their primary channels ahead of a theoretical crackdown on shell ownership.

I don't know why people liked Diane Sawyer more than Katie Couric, the CBS Evening News in it's later years shifted to serious news and I thought she did a good job but others were like... eh. plus CBS was trying too hard to look for the next Walker Cronkite when they should of been working on delivering a fine news product. those are my thoughts anyways.

I blame the treatment of content as disposable as why TV is going down the drain.

why did they turn down Bryon Allen, that's what I want to know.

the ABC logo should be in two colors only. black and white

it's not going to collapse at all. there's more of a chance of cable collapsing entirely than streaming. cable is redundant anyways.

I swear the mishandling of Tribune could be it's own documentary. They had no idea what to do with WGN America (when compared to TBS which was a superstation in itself) and the only saving grace they had was that they had an image and namesake stations like WPIX/KTLA/WGN and the like. Ever since Nexstar bought Tribune, it's like Tribune's management has been poisoning the company. To me, Nexstar today feels like what would of happened had Sinclair successfully attempted to acquire Tribune, a total trainwreck that claims to care about locals but only cares about the bottom line. I wouldn't be surprised if many Nexstar stations go right wing in the future if Nexstar's investment in a right-wing NewsNation is successful. Nexstar is essentially Sinclair but better handled in my eyes now. It's not NewsNation related but I posted this because Nexstar's handling of NewsNation could be the future of Nexstar as a whole.

title may not be great, thread might get closed but looking at the number of people who left and the number of controversies that NewsNation is going through. I feel like it's worthy of a thread to discuss in detail the turmoil that's going on at NewsNation. It's amazing how in a few months, NewsNation lost a majority of it's staff and is going far to the right in defiance of it's original mission (which didn't get ratings but they could of tried harder). I'd be surprised if the network didn't shut down at the end of the year, gained a sizable audience and managed to make something for itself in the cable news world.

I honestly thought there was a thread regarding this... Must of been my imagination.

Damn... When MSNBC has higher ratings than CNN you know CNN has failed.

Actually, I would like for all cable news networks to go away... They serve no logistical purpose other than to pollute the mainstream cycles with garbage and to blatantly grab for ratings. There is zero integrity with any of the news channels. MSNBC if they can convert to the NBC News Channel maybe, but yeah; I said what I said.

I know they may be perfect to own them but why does Sinclair have to own everything? I don't like supporting Trump businesses.

Eh. The only reason why TEGNA along with Scripps have gone downhill is because they're too focused on trying to solve the issue of "how do we take our traditional newscasts and make them appeal to younger viewers". What Nextstar and Gray realize is that by making "subtle" changes, they can appeal to both the traditional and youth markets, TEGNA and Scripps don't really grasp the situation they're in. I'd go even further that all TV station groups (even the O&Os) will go downhill to the point where there is no recovery. Internet has replaced TV as the go to source for news unfortunately and there's no way of stopping it.

Just. Stop. We don't need this type of junk on TVNT. We don't need you to say that we're capable for speaking on our own, he was just doing a nice gesture on behalf of all of us that we're grateful for because he does a lot of work for this forum in an unofficial fashion. Stop your shick or leave. You don't have to do either but you're becoming really annoying now.

I literally hate InvisionBoard. XenForo was way better.

They didn't "lose him". NBC just moved him to another one of their O&O stations.

Pinnacle and that graphics package were the best thing KSTP/KSAZ had in 1993. It was ahead of it's time both figuratively and literally.

One word, money. Sinclair offered the most promising offer to Albittron.
