We can guess that whoever backs him up now isn't getting it done to their satisfaction...

But in the speculation... Not General TV...

If you want to talk about this again then go to the speculation and give it a whirl...

Because He doesn't like not speculating on sales...

I recently acquired KFSN I can't count...

There are 7 O&O's...

Let the Scrippsification begin!

Whoops... My mistake... Doesn't change my opinion of the guy...

Good god almighty... There's a big difference depending on the stations management: Their previews are always very hard news heavy for their retooled 11pm...

I don't know if they'll shut it down... They can always just put regular newscasts on again if it bombs.. At least they are trying to do something different with the format.

It's definitely hillarious Maybe it's worth a little frustration at their expense?

Why would you let the portal to hell slide? That's the Lemoneist thing about that set.... That they haven't scrapped the effect yet is baffling. Spelling errors is just sloppy... Their quality control needs a little polish.

Both of which (especially the set) they've been having sub 50 Market problems with. I think the system they bought Is a little lemony...

What exactly is "flash"?

That's what I thought but I couldn't remember exactly what the relationship was... At least there is something new here.

From CRM: The Chicago Sun-Times has partnered with WLS-TV/ABC 7 for a new weather page promoting the television station's weather department, and more specifically, meteorologists Jerry Taft and Cheryl Scott. The page in the newspaper is called "ABC 7 First Alert Weather," sharing the branding the television station uses for its forecasts during newscasts. There will also be daily weather forecast videos on the Sun-Times website, found at this link HERE.

Dan Salamone is their News Director (he's also a collasal prick).

Wouldn't it be a fun ride to see those 7 stations making hillarious mistakes because Scripps cut all the experienced people? WABC playing Happy over a gun control package for example...

If anything they are seen as a seller....

He would know quite well that such a plan wouldn't work well in practice...

Now how would they do that? I do agree with that idea though. This is a 9 station group that's become too big for their britches....

I'm beginning to think that outside of a few stations most of Scripps properties are too far gone to be saved by ABC... They would require billion(s) in investment across all 16 or whatever stations to bring them up to ABC standards. You'd have to completely scrap most of the personell, the graphics, the imaging, completely swap out all the computer equipment, they'd all need set upgrades, new cameras... Sound expensive times 16 yet? It'd be like taking 2016 car innards and putting them in a 1985 Ford Taurus... You can do it but it'd be a hell of a project.

It's not surprising... It's rampant in the company. WXYZ had "Happy" blaring over a pre recorded package on gun control (!) for 50 seconds on their 7pm tonight. This stuff didn't use to happen but technical goofs are their bread and butter now... Some folks there blame the automation system but that's an excuse... It's only as good as the Person telling it what to do...

Why would you have to spell the days out each time? Aren't those graphics on file pre made with the days? It's on a producer I bet and not her. She probably didn't make it.

Shelley Childers is joining WXYZ from KRGV , the ABC station in Harlingan-Weslaco-Brownsville-MacArthur, Texas (DMA 86). She had been there since 2012 and got started at KOSA in Midland-Odessa, TX (DMA 145) where she spent 3 years. She's a Michigan State grad so this continues the trend of almost every new reporter they've hired since 2014 having a Michigan connection. I never thought I'd be excited about 6 years of reporting experience as if that was a lot for DMA 13 (hint: it's not).
