  1. Cuz God forbid a Sin-clair ND should catch a case of "ethics"... (grabbing my pearls)
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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?
  6. I'm sure they are sitting on plenty of other N.Korean fluff pieces. Those will be aired in the weeks to come.
  7. 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.
  8. Armed Forces network shutdown... http://thehill.com/policy/defense/369949-military-television-network-off-the-air-due-to-government-shutdown
  9. 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"
  10. "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
  11. I just hope there are some cookies... I'm so hungry for cookies. The threat if incoming missiles gives me the munchies.
  12. They (those people) were directly quoting the President. Nobody will be fined. Unless... The whole thing was just a lie and it's proven he never said shithole... Then would NBC be on the hook for the profanity??? No. Nobody will be cited, no NAL's...no fines....no s**t.
  13. Wait till they have children.
  14. I love Estrella TV more than Telemundo in the 90's. Estrella has only one set for all it's shows... The only have one little person...but he does all the shows. And the only have 3 skanky go-go girls which get rotated all afternoon through all the various creepy shows. ...and a donkey...and a few chickens. Full Disclosure: I am 1/3 Mexican and I live near the border. I also once bought a "slimmer" thing off one of the ads they run....but it didn't work. (sad trumpet.wav)
  15. You are absolutely right...Fred deserves a little vacation... How shellfish of me.
  16. Yep... Or even more sinister... Sometimes talent will show up to other stations to visit friends...and "be seen" exclusively for gossip and negotiation reasons. Make 'em think you are being shopped....when you are not. ...and sometimes that backfires.
  17. Bye Mr. Fred ...Next stop WGCL!
  18. If you think that sucks... Then don't ever get married.
  19. I like the choppy guy. He reminds me of what a grown up Isaac from South Park would look like as a serial killer. They should put the heads of TV management for those stations on the stump.
  20. So did NBC screw Hoda when it came to her new Paycheck? Is NBC really gonna do this to her. http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2018/01/03/hoda-kotb-making-18-million-less-than-matt-lauer-report-says.html
  21. Wow... Sounds pretty depressing. Seems the ride situation was always the first thing discussed in the contracts. Nobody wanted to drive for obvious reasons. I guess I stand corrected....sad for them....but corrected neverless. EDIT: So I check a bit further...made a call or two. The station still pays for many talent rides to and from work....they just all use UBER and get reimbursed. Dopey me!
  22. Things must have really changed in the last few years. We NEVER took yellow cabs to anything. It was always town cars...even for stupid airport runs to JFK. If Lara Spencer or Stacy Sager...or even N.J forgot their favorite hair brush at home...it was a town car that was sent. Never a yellow cab. You get better service and discounts with town cars because every station has their "favorite" companies. You seriously gonna tell me some local anchors and reporters don't take town cars to work anymore? Where do they have all the available parking spaces hidden at WABC? ok...ok....to be accurate WCBS and WPIX took cabs. WOR and everyone else took Gypsy. (ya sense a little sarcasm?)
  23. She is paying her agent 10% (standard rate) of her paycheck each week to have all those days off negotiated in her contract. Does ABC provide a daily round trip in a Towne Car to and from work...like many others get? Clothing allowance or free clothing ??? 1 or 3 hour lunch and dinner break??? How about that all expenses paid vacation to any Disney resort , cruise ship or Island? Her agent did all the heavy lifting...she just has to show up and read the news...and he gets 10%. Sweet gig eh?
  24. You may be bit late to that party... Just saying.
  25. Yes! Lets go back to the manly days of Today.
