The WHOLE Uncut uncensored non-pc cartoon library??? Or the crappy library that omits all of WW2?

Oh that process has NOT so quietly already begun. Now is the time when cat lady will try out some new anchor teams...right under everyone's noses. Now is when most the longer and older employees are forced to take vacations, because it's a no-no to vacate during the big 3 books....and they have time built up unliike newer or the parttimers/day hires. The ND's use the guise of "vacation shuffle"to try out new anchor combos. it also pisses off the main anchors by messing with ego's and aegyo. Anchors get fired on vacation all the time so they are always apprehensive to even take vacation time. I don't know what the current policy on vacation buy-back is, but i'm sure it's not generous in any form. beside what kind of fool buys back/cash out vacation time anyway? So watch for the funny combos for the next 8 weeks.

Ever since Tom got out of rehab ,,,both Tom and Jerry have been working hard on their relationship. Both understand there is no room for violence anymore. We all just hope they don't pull an "itchy and scratchy" and end up drunks on some stupid kids show.

Usually when a position like that is filled it means the money,beni's , etc are all ready to be a real fulltime employee, filling that job"classification". Any and all work assignments, positions, duties or anchor pairings are all up to management UNLESS it's been worked out in a contract...arranged by his agent...who gets up to 15% (depending on the state) of the annual pay of said reporter. It's an old trick to delay hiring to keep the news budget numbers looking good. Even better to delay when the job involves a member of the "bargaining unit"...ie: The Union. It's not like there is a shortage of qualified people out there...it's just a nice way to kiss the GM's ass by keeping those budget numbers within the yearly budget projections.

I remember when I heard the terrible news, I ran home and hugged my children...which was strange because my kids were supposed to be in school. I think the biggest shocker for me in 2013 was the death of Annette Funicello. The old folks tell stories about searching the internet in 1957 for "annettes breast" because back then you couldn't use "tits" or "boobs" as search terms . She was the most searched term in 50's back when the internet used typewriters and Tv's.

...and breezy between the twin peeks...

Dr Matt should get off the wx set by sundown... Kristen has guns and 2 (big) sisters.... ...and they call the media liberal...

Well there was sultry singing siren Nancy Pender...Former WFLD,KMST,OCN

Tom was a fine man with many loyal friends, and a wonderful family. Tom was a leader in broadcasting, he will be missed.

Nielsen has branched out into some other forms of measurement in other fields, however this is s pretty big hit so it should be interesting to watch. I have no love lost for Nielsen, it's a racket and way overpriced for what you get. Why should we (KBEX) pay for that service when our sales staff just "sells around" Nielsen anyway. Having Comscore in the picture has allowed station sales teams to "question" the Nielsen numbers more and more.

I think Dana may be in for a little culture shock. Try not to be too hard on her.

Well yaaaa. They have 5 reporters on that beat because EVERYTHING in that market /community is always "Under Investigation". The Local Goverment... Under Investigation.... The Crime.... Under Investigation.... Water works... Under Investigation... Arson Fires....... Etc. What would we get if we googled "Detroit+ Investigation(s)" Holy Body By Fisher!!!

This ND has zero clue about how to run and manage a newsroom. But he sure does use all the latest newsroom buzz words. And... This goof is making the reporters pitch the active stand-up in the early meeting...before you even start shooting the story. This ND is going to be bent over and beaten by his own staff and hopefully at the company Christmas party where everyone can watch. BTW... Just how much money does every "like" on facebook generate for the station?

Yeah... Lispy and I were never meant to be together. I will now pledge my love to the MacMilf ®.

McMilf tried the virginal first communion look today in all white. Somebody sure was paying attention to yesterdays aircheck. The show actually has some pacing now, however the remotes are so bad I want to drink Drano. The weekly rotation of 10newbie freelancers is still hurting the show with uninspired live shots. Overall nice fan service from Melissa and Mary, plenty of real smiles and Patton is solid. I would feel comfortable placing this trio in any show slot...any day of the week. I approve.

Robert is a long-time friend of KBEX-TV and we KNOW he was capable of much more...but Patton did so much better. Now about that Vanessa / Mary confusion..... Buy the glasses... I swear once you get her look situated, she could be dangerous...but that dress and that hair...she messed with it once already, but get Melissa to run her thru a few clothing stores to get that frumpy east coast look off her. Vanessa has no fashion sense whatsoever...and once again the HAIR! Otherwise I would have to say I was actually impressed...and that's not easy now days.

Well that's what they did... Revamped the show and it's 10 times better already...and It's only 10 mins into the show. One thing... Get Mary McKenzie into wardrobe and hair ASAP...she needs a more Ca. look. They also have to do something about these lame ass live shots. hell just "puppy dog" the KUSI van and follow Dave Scott . Edit: Ok get Mary Mac's hair under control and you will have a pretty solid team here...this really looks like a weekday morning crew...or a solid weekend 6p-l11p show crew. Looks like VanHeftye is bumped up to the weekend evenings.(snooooze) according to a promo.

But anything is now breaking news...not just mass destruction. True...some stations will manufacture "breaking" news just to satisfy that sponsorship.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Who do you think pays for this coverage...the news fairies? I don't agree with this....I don't like it...but until SOMEBODY FUNDS decent non-baised news coverage, this is what you will get. Do you want the government involved in your news gathering???? How about "single payer" news coverage? We have a free market system that other countries have tried, fought and failed to become. Show me a better system...a better way another free country does it. Politics have corrupted the downstream media...bias ooze's from every single newsroom in this country in one form (left right) or another. You want solid breaking news coverage??? You have to PAY for it. You want expensive choppers... Sponsor them with PAID sponsors...or get donations from sympathetic donors. You want top reporters??? Pay them! You think news coverage is a "right"? Pay for it...or get donors to do so....like these fringe advocacy groups that will NEVER donate a single dime to support decent news coverage....but are happy to extort millions for their own political coffers.

Q: Who does Nexstar have an obligation to serve first? The Viewers...or the shareholders?

Not many people know this about Paul... His "Top Secret" news nickname is..... "Skippy"

First you have to prove you have the $1,000.000 because the last time I played this game (and won) I NEVER got my million dollars. Show me the money first because my guess is Lara Logan...unless you don't really have the million...then my guess would be Lara Spencer.

[quote="WSVNFan, post: 181639, member: 2856" No one noticed here but WHTV (Lansing) has finally shut down. It's the first television station in the country to shut down as a result of the recent FCC Spectrum Auction. Nobody had a little party for them??? Now I feel sad.
