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.

Does that show even HAVE a producer? I get the feeling that show was being pre-punched each day. That twitter photo is the delusions of the cat lady and her budget. That should be her weekday team, cuz I'm down with doing tequiilla shooters with MaryMac now that Valdez is all married off. The Quad cities wants their darling back....maybe her hubby could also ask for a transfer of duty stations.

First my son... You must believe in the power of the Speculatron...only the great mardek1995 can grant total access to the Speclutron

*Bye,Bye Kristine...party on ! *Poor Robert...but he was smoked as soon as they paired him up with "wash and wear" for that AM wknd show. That thing has become a giant abortion. Maybe if Robert "Wang's" it up a bit... *Mommy Melissa is much better suited for WX..she is NOT an "investigator" and let's not pretend she is. I'm still team Melissa but now you go and WASTE her on that crappy weekend morning show. Put the Weather Pinata on that shift and put Melissa or Megan on the weekday nights.. *Rielle... You could tell she was leaving because she finally got real. A few weeks ago she was doing a live shot from a drive bye shooting in the hood.... Whoever wrote the lead-in to the live shot didn't realize that Crieghton was "in da hood" .. "Shots rang out in this normally quiet Bay Terraces neighborhood.... ...Rielle Crieghton is on the scene...." The look on her face was priceless! I could tell she wanted to say "I'm in the fricking hood you dumb-asses...Everybody, except the idiot that wrote this lead-in KNOWS I'm in the Hood" Well Good for her...she is a solid reporter and will enjoy the gators and fine moist weather in FL. *Neda??? Convince me ok? Sure she is nice enough, but I want to see some "pop". Maybe she has some hidden talents that we have not seen. Maybe CW6 was not a proper showcase....show me. Are any reporters at KGTV full-time anymore? I t5hink I see Rachael Bianco once every 8 weeks for about :45 of air time. Where is Little Joe working as his other job? Left Eye was on the 10k detail last weekend...what happened to Grecie...or Matt ....or Hanna...or Janet Kwok??? Where the hell did Janet Kwok go? Does anyone miss Janet Kwok? She lasted all of :22 seconds...

Hopefully by 2018 they will be able to cram more crap onto the L3. I'm feeling a triple stock type ticker...with a little animation of a schnauzer.

Well c'mon! Would YOU want to wake up next to her?

Just wait for them to ask for those fancy long form production opens like CBSTM and F&F do.... It used to be a cold open was "special"....kinda like "exclusive" once was. If you over use the cold open....it warms...and rots quicker. A warm mushy un-crisp cold open is the worst....like a ripe baloney sandwich on a hot day.

It's ok.... The right leaning media is now balancing out the left leaning media....or vice versa. Fair is fair right?

They paid a lot of money for her so expect them to try her everywhere...and everyplace...until they exhaust her or the viewers. She really compared herself to Oprah???? For real??? That's just plain dopey of her.

Who ever compared Megyn Kelly to Oprah? Let's say Kelly flops at NBC ...and FNC takes a hit when they are forced to hire a bunch of fugly frumps... Kelly will just return to FNC cuz "everybody loves a comeback!"...and that creepy Raj is dead so "The Amazons" can run the FOX haus. Hell I bet the repubs can get Megyn all groomed and ready to run for prez by 2024.

Ahhhh You got "bumped" for time... If you are in da-biz...den you no how da game is played bradda. We all get "edited" now and then in life my little weed-hopper...it's just the way it is. You should see the EXCLUSIVE KBEX "Suki Sex Tape" that I posted hundreds of times here...but that dang Weeters keeps pulling it down! I curse that Weeters...he vexes me so!
