  1. Oh what fun we would all have if Nielsen and ComScore tracked political affiliations and made it it's own measured demographic. Get ready.
  2. Wow... Look at this long form stuff on the KGTV site... I think it looks really good. https://www.10news.com/longform/chula-vistas-ghost-town Anyone else seeing these at the other Scrapps stations?
  3. The ftvlive game cannot be played without the cooperation of the broadcast talent agents. Scott won't tell you that part.
  4. KGO TV was just sued by talent in a similar type case...ND was named in the suit. http://richliebermanreport.blogspot.com/2018/02/kgo-still-hasnt-made-announcement-on-gm.html Numerous other stations across the country are being sued by talent...for age discrimination. It happens everyday. There are plenty of good reasons why you DON'T just lop-off the heads of the departments. Very solid strategic reasons are behind these decisions. If we fire her...she can go rouge. If we keep her on staff...we still have almost complete control. The WABC case is pretty standard fare as far as employer/employee suits go. ...and the best part is... None of us will ever know how it ends...unless there is a stipulation making any settlement public... I wouldn't bet on that stipulation becoming true.
  5. ...and every news director gets sued at least a few times...no matter the market size. I would go as far to bet the lawsuits have NOTHING to do with anything. ABC and it's affils are sued every single day of the week for all kinds of reasons.
  6. You have to rule with fear in NYC. That's just the way it is .
  7. Way to chase that younger demo... What is it with these twinks lately?
  8. Who's gonna babysit them the other 22 hours each day? The rest of the day they just vape and pop pills.
  9. Oh Brudda... Robert sez's... "Stupid fired civil defense worker git job at Island News...he sit on station Twitter keyboard during disaster drill. He scare me, da Howlies, Auntie and da rest of di Island".
  10. He has some nerve pulling that ...and to think I went to bat for that (Williams) guy.
  11. Ok cool... But I see that as a growth market with all the people getting the hell out of CA. Now can your growth in population translate into growth for your OTA signals and other "platforms'. Will viewer erosion take a bigger toll? Are those stations all dogs??? Or is there some hidden gems there?
  12. He is just like his father Thurston Howell III . His father was quite the survivor and so was his mom. I was always amazed at how both of them could pack so much into such small suitcases. His Mom and Dad are still missed...and fondly remembered to this day.
  13. Of course... The corporation asked nicely for a donation. However the union just took it (your money)...as a condition of employment. A donation is not mandatory in the case of Sinclair and it's desired pac. A union member has NO choice as to where the dues go, and for what "cause". As you were.
  14. Cuz God forbid a Sin-clair ND should catch a case of "ethics"... (grabbing my pearls)
  15. Thanks, I was just about to ask "Who is this new chick on KUSI"? Now I don't have to wait for the graphic. Anybody got dirt on her yet...or do I have to look her up myself? Is she a felon? Does she text and drive? Is she from AZ cuz she looks like some woman from Gilbert. Does she have any dirt on Janet Zapalla? Oh I just read her bio... Looks kinda boring.
  16. Don't be shocked... The broadcasting labor unions do the exact same thing 10X over by requesting the members to donate to various democratic pacs. It happens during every election cycle and has occurred in one form or another for decades.
  17. and that is what confuses me... TV twinks are all the rage right now and you would think he was gonna be able to write his own ticket. But then he makes this series of bonehead moves... Simply put... None of what he did made any sense. Unless he had a hissy-fit. That happens.
  18. I think his arrogance (will or already) has burnt that possibility. Doesn't seem like he listens to his agent, or he just likes to ride bareback, and takes his chances. So if he had faith in his personal brand then he would probably re-activate that questionable website that got him fired. How many ND's did he survive?
  19. I'm sure they are sitting on plenty of other N.Korean fluff pieces. Those will be aired in the weeks to come.
  20. I think she is gonna work the bad girl thing for a bit. The whole Jane Fonda thing generated plenty of hits, views and clicks across all the NBC platforms...and many others platforms. Some of these bonehead moves by NBC are actually kinda brilliant. Women love to spar, and TODAY and GMA are becoming "women only" spaces just like most of social media is. NBC and Kelly can afford to try new things, let them fight if it generates buzz and clicks. Heck let them start getting drunk at 8am if they want. It's not like TV news media really has to worry about credibility anyway.
  21. Armed Forces network shutdown... http://thehill.com/policy/defense/369949-military-television-network-off-the-air-due-to-government-shutdown
  22. This is also great news for Koreans and Mexicans visiting Puerto Rico, as they will also be able to enjoy the many offerings of these great PBS stations. Disclaimer: I'm American, Korean and Mexican. I enjoy Kimchi tacos...and long walks on the beach with my horse "Mr.Chu"
  23. "We are Gentlemen... But we are Englishmen... first." "We shall fight to the death for our convictions...yet observe all the traditions of a modern society". Churchhill
