  1. While I do admit that the Gannett graphics look nice and clean, they're way too modern for KING 5's news set and makes it look more dated.
  2. Is this going to be a two-hour block on all Fox affiliates or will it be preempted on certain affiliates (WAGA, WTVT, etc.)?
  3. If they do, please 'CNC, NO DATED, LATE 90s-LOOKING, UGLY "NBC36" logo. But, IIRC, Gannett stations don't use a "(Network)(Number)" branding, correct?
  4. IMO, the E/I rules aren't really a necessity considering that we have PBS, Nick Jr, Sprout, etc. to teach kids. Lot of E/I shows aren't really all that entertaining except maybe a Litton show or two. I do believe that if the E/I rule was abolished that station would either air more news on the weekends or (in the case of super-small DMAs and Raycom's WOIO) more infomercials.
  5. This is going to be a few days old but longtime WKBN meteorologist Don Guthrie has been off the air for over a month due to his fight with pancreatic cancer. http://m.businessjournaldaily.com/company-news/wkbn-air-story-guthries-cancer-fight-2014-5-27
  6. My question is whether this will be a syndicated package similar to Litton's Weekend Adventure where an ABC affiliate can choose not to air it or is this going to be a you-have-to-air-it kind of situation for CW's affiliate group. BTW, RIP Vortexx 2012-2014.
  7. KSNV in Las Vegas is giving the all-news concept a shot. Heck, I could even see WJW attempting that if Tribune will let them.
  8. Would the Sinclair combo of WSYX and WTTE count? They air a combined 61.5 hours of news a week. WSYX) Weekdays: 4:30-7am, 12-1p, 5-6:30p, 11-11:35p; Weekends: 5-8am, 6-6:30p, 11-11:35p WTTE) Weekdays: 7-10am, 10-11p; Weekends: 8-10am, 10-11p
  9. If 'YTV went to Barrington, 33 would have become Massa David's headache. WYTV as a Sinclair station would pretty much be a train wreck IMHO. No one in Youngstown would watch them because Youngstown is as liberal as Sinclair is...well, Sinclair.I doubt anyone in Youngstown would want to work for the Baltimore Bastards not only because of Sinclair's perpetual cheapness but also because of Sinclair's right-wing views. In a way, WYTV becoming WKBN's bitch might be a blessing in disguise.
  10. Don't remind me of the group that wrecked WKBN
  11. Good luck to her for having to compete with the 800-lb gorilla that's WGN.
