  1. My assumption is that like most people who don’t know when to ride off into the sunset there are signs he’s well past his expiration date.
  2. On the contrary... you can be a street reporter turned long term fill in with a 12 credit hour weather certificate from Penn State and get stuck on the air during a tornado warning. Then a month later you do sports when the main sports guy leaves and find time to report in between in market 14. True story.
  3. I think they have gotten better at editing. With WDIV an absolute dumpster fire 7 is the best station in town for what it’s worth.
  4. Which station? WXYZ has been prerecorded for a couple years now at 11. You can tell because there are no anchor interactions with weather or sports. Unless they started doing that in the last month. The sometimes rough cuts not letting the anchor finish their sentence are another clue. All definitely more recent than fall 2024. Watching last nights show… it’s recorded for sure. Tonight’s had a live A block and then it was recorded.
  5. I’ve been noticing more LIVE reports on WXYZ of late. I wonder if they are backing off the Scrippscast/Lets only record packages thing?
  6. It isn’t like you can’t learn on the job from the two certified meteorologists and the weather producers. Plenty of amateur folks know their stuff.
  7. I can't imagine Goudie being there until 77-80 years old. He's 70 after all.
  8. I’m assuming he got bored in Toledo and wanted a change. A quarter century is a long time to be in one spot. Neither male anchor is great. 7’s shows still aren’t as bad as DIV’s. That place is hurting. Don’t really care about ratings for this thought exercise. Just that 4 makes tons more mistakes and has serious technical issues that would kill you before the day was out if you make it a drinking game.
  9. Hopefully they have him anchor some too… they need a male fill in anchor in the evenings.
  10. Their new graphics were inspired by a combination of brainstorming the most boring thing you make a lower third look like and someone on vacation watching the 2012 Scripps graphics and loving the way the transitions moved side to side. It is by far one of the worst looks in local TV today. The only graphics ABC ever had that I admired was what WLS had before they standardized everything. Those were pleasant to look at.
  11. I’ve heard similar talk about that auction becoming a major upheaval in the broadcast TV industry as a whole so I would imagine the time is coming. At this point broadcast TV isn’t a growth industry.
  12. Im honestly surprised they haven’t unloaded ABC and the broadcast stations with it by now.
  13. Looks pretty nice… and blue…. Really blue… hope you can swim blue. Also somebody get that circle 7 on the floor an ABC logo…. Kidding. Nice to see at least one without it for a change.
  14. By the time they get these out to all their stations it’ll be time for a new package.
  15. What makes it the best station in their portfolio?
