  1. Aren't Arial and Helvetica basically the same thing?? There's hardly a difference
  2. This is great news! I was wondering when this was going to happen. I figured they would be looking, given what KHOU went through...
  3. Again... he's too busy dancing with Paula Abdul and other dancers on Tik Tok... *shrug*
  4. I agree -- there aren't that many newsworthy things happening... Each half-hour is the same boring thing unless there is "breaking news or weather"
  5. What I also find funny is that with all his extra free time, I see Nick on Tik Tok more than I see him on Fox Weather....
  6. I can't wait for the rest of the Qunicy stations to get this package... 1,000,000% better
  7. When the font is that small, lower case letters tend to be harder to read...
  8. KTXL Chief Meteorologist Kristina Werner is no longer at the station. By the sound of her tweet, it wasn't her choice. She was given no on-air goodbye (She was there 23+ years). Adam Epstein is now the new chief.
  9. I'm sure it's almost inevitable... Those graphics needed to die 5 years ago
  10. Okay we're getting off topic -- we can continue this in the Weather Lab section
  11. I'm trying to remember from which source(s) I'm referring to, but this started with Tang, then to GM Julie Brinks, then to 2 different levels of HR at Nexstar... So as far as I'm concenred, they had every right to publicize this... Granted, I'm sure they had clauses in their contracts or company policies barring them from doing this.. but man oh man did this hurt WOOD-TV bad...
  12. The 2 producers definitely should not have been let go.. Tang and Fox definitely needed to go
  13. Update for the WOOD-TV fiasco: ND Stanton Tang, AND Amy Fox, and Producers Luke Stier and Madeline Odle were all let go from the leaked memo.
  14. Former Days of our Lives actor Kyle Lowder has signed on with Reno's KTVN as their new morning co-anchor. He begins July 1.
  15. This is so frustrating... WOOD-TV has had such a legacy in this market... Makes me wonder if he wanted to screw them over... I am a personal friend of 2 of the meteorologists there and they've been so frustrated by him since day 1...
  16. Heather Kovar is back! She is at KBTX in Bryan-College Station, TX. Here's the link to the video that was posted on YT
  17. According to an article I just read from a site I cannot link, WTVD is supposedly next in line
  18. I grew up in Dorr -- half way between Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo. Before cable/satelitte came our way, I could always get WOOD-TV by antenna no problem. WZZM I got 90% of the time. WWMT I had a very hard time to get... Kalamzoo/Battle Creek is one of those "sub-markets" were they can be serviced by a number of larger markets surrounding them... That's why I'm shocked to see WWMT at #2... Although I do see that WZZM and WWMT are struggling to find decent talent for mornings and evenings... The only name I recognize at WZZM now is Juliet Dragos and George Lessens... WWMT I only recognize Chief Met Keith Thompson... But I am curious to see if Byron can pull WZZM out of their rut.. I know in the early 2000s, they seemed to be giving WOOD-TV a run for their money...
  19. The logo has a "Gray-ish" look to it....
  20. IF they were, they won't be for much longer... WWMT is now down to 8 people I think? Christina Anthony left in November and they most likely won't replace her... Chief Keith Thompson is all over the place filling in... They have 2-3 reporters and focus way too much on Kalamazoo/Battle Creek for any GR viewers to care... My dream wish would be for Hearst to pick up WZZM somehow...
  21. WLUC in Marquette upgraded to these just a couple years ago... It's bad enough they can't decide on a temperature for the 7-Day... But heck anything that Gray offers now would be a vast improvement.. Especially since WJMN and WZMQ have better graphics...
  22. I just don't see good things happening... I wonder if WZZM cna stay in 2nd place with him...
