I just hope there are some cookies... I'm so hungry for cookies. The threat if incoming missiles gives me the munchies.

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.

Wait till they have children.

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)

You are absolutely right...Fred deserves a little vacation... How shellfish of me.

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.

Bye Mr. Fred ...Next stop WGCL!

If you think that sucks... Then don't ever get married.

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.

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

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!

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?)

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?

The one with the water is great...thanks for sharing that.

You may be bit late to that party... Just saying.

Yes! Lets go back to the manly days of Today.

He was a fine canine. He had many four legged friends. He will be missed... Ruff day eh?

One of these days maybe the industry will actually give a shit about the rampant alcohol abuse in TV news. 30 years of highs from the adrenaline spikes and the lows of daily news work. I can tell you about folks who work the swing 3p-12a that by 12:30a they are completly shitfaced at home...awake until 5am...and running carpool with 3 kids at 8am. She reeks of booze in the AM. By the time she rolls in around 2:30pm most the boozy smell has been covered by strawberry body spray. It's not a secret. And she does good work and we all love her. But we also look the other way because she does good work...and nobody want's to be the one to mention the subject to her. News people are supposed to be bullet proof and tough as nails. Stations don't care. Sure they will pay for one trip to rehab but they never will deal with the core of the problem because stations are just getting cheaper and cheaper. And lets be honest.... Many news people have no clue, and zero practical field training so they know what is really "out there" in the field and in the newsroom. I would much rather work with somebody stoned then work with a chronic hungover crew member or teammate. Stop drug testing for pot, test for opiates and screen for access alcohol abuse. Amanda was hit by a transient event that mimicked a drunken stupor. I bet she even chalked it up to drinking like everyone else did. She and others ignored the warning signs...and her body gave up. And if she was self detoxing off booze without direct Dr.'s supervision then she didn't stand a fighting chance. Very sad, but the biz chews them up...and spits them out. Most never make it to 30 years...they die...or just burn out. RIP Amanda

Just blur his face...the ultimate FU.

So I guess the Megyn Kelly year in review will have a 00:16 trt ? trt=Total Running Time

The latest KGTV fire promo is killing me... "More people watched 10 news for coverage of the Lilac fire"...... "More" than what? No attribution of any type...not even little tiny Nielsen numbers at the bottom of the screen. The fire was not during the regular book. What the hell do they base that "more viewers" claim on? Is this claim based on the overnights (ratings)...doubtful because I'm pretty sure it's still a giant NO-NO to post or share the "overnights" unless you have permission or a rider in your Nielsen agreement. It's just a play on words. A fabricated non-fact that can never be proven...nor dis-proven . And they wonder why nobody trust the media.

But you CAN get a few hours of "quality time" at one of the Elko legal brothels. I searched it...I clicked on it...I looked at the pictures . Once that newscast is gone...those boys in those northern "cow counties" will have a little more extra time on their hands. Come to think of it... O.J Simpson did his time at the prison in Lovelock...just down the way a bit. Maybe they just ran out of news now that OJ is gone.

I hope he signs the station over to his bed pan nurse, and it gets tied up in a sexy lurid probate court case. Anyone hear from Donald Sterling lately?

13.3 million would run the KENV Elko news operation for how many decades?

The "failed station waiver" for a company like Raycom is as bad as able bodied people parking in the blue zone . Spend some money now you got a tax break...and shore up some of this smaller run down stuff for these smaller and outlaying communities.
