Let's all understand something about TV... When you go on the air and trash your employer, it's policies or practices ...EXPECT a bad outcome. You may not agree, but they sign your paycheck. If viewers want to revolt that's fine. But, don't expect some judge to entertain a wrongful termination suit based on publicly trashing your employer, while on their dime, and using their toys. And you wonder why stations won't let most on-air employees say "good bye" when the contract ends? I wish him luck...but if you come on my TV station and trash my station or programs you can expect to see the door...and maybe a boot up your ass. ...and once you pull some stunt like that , the station management of other stations won't trust you on-air...no matter how popular you were at you last gig.

Not sure what law you are referencing , but what if I had no news department or wx team and I preempt Zoobilee Zoo.... What would I be required to run or replace it with?

Or... The developer/contractor/ designer of the project paid the freight for the trip. A paid press Junket if you will. Stations news departments used to have some pretty solid journalistic rules about such junkets and who paid for them. However with the erosion of journalistic rules (and skills) , it's easy for stations to accept all kinds of freebies or cross promotions that blurr the lines of objectivity. "Oh it's newsworthy because our local Congressman/ Mayor etc.. will be touring also." That's how they (Managing Editors, and ND's ) justify the trip to feel better in their own minds that it's gonna be a total ,"fluff piece". For Example... "The Disneyland/ Disney World WX Live Shots Back Home". Every station falls for this one... (but the viewers luv 'em) Your local station sends your weatherman to do a a wx live shot with Mickey, Goofy and friends....live from the Magic Kingdom. Disney provides the entire set-up....the camera ,sat-time, the photog, the field producer and even Mickey and a few princesses or animated fish. Disney puts you, and your kids and spouse into a free room and gives the kids free tickets while your local Weather-Schmoo fills 4 minutes in the C and F block of the newscast. !00% free promotion disguised as your local weathercast. It's even more fun during ratings when the park is filled with wx dudes and dudettes from all over the country doing shots back to home. Disney can handle a whole bunch of those shots...and have a million ways to feed all those shots. All you need to do is... (Insert Your Hometown WX man here)

Here is your official TEGNA Breaking News graphic for your collection. Use it only for good...and never evil.

No! Just because they had an internal "issue" with the graphic , are we are all to now assume they (WTVF) are now openly hostile to the LGBT community? Stop it...it's ridiculous to get outraged and offended over it. Cut them a break...not everyone is out to offend.

Back By Popular Demand!!! N.B.G.... "The Vegas Residency" She's Back! N.B.G. and Gonzo are heading out to Vegas where Nancy will be the ND for KTNV-13. L.A. can't be too far away now...

I will be paying close attention to "Halftime With Boris"... ...in case there are any wardrobe malfunctions.

Yeah lol... After a good 12 years of "Stable KUSI" ...God only knows what the hell has happened inside. Somebody must be off the meds up in the front office...or else somebody at KUSI caught Tegna Flu and now wants to upend all the "good will" that was earned over the last decade or so. Go screw up your product...go piss-off those loyal viewers...I'm sure there is a "vision" in there somewhere. Just what is the"real" status of Paul Rudy? Is he a temp fill-in?...or was PPR just ripped out of his hands?

This is just another ploy by Tegna to replace experienced anchors and reporters ... ...with their very own pets.

I guess TNT is the only thing separating the left from the right. Does that mean TNT is "center"? Fox News (2,502,000) TNT (2,321,000) MSNBC (1,754,000) Everything now makes sense to me.

Maybe she will get adopted by a nice forever family who will love her and treat her well. Remember the good times... I'm sure she will miss all of you, and she will always remember all the fun times...and cold pizza on elex nite.

Yeah... As in the "Action News Pee" streaming down my leg cuz we won't ever get a break from anchoring...

With only 755,000 total prime time viewers, CNN averaged 184,000 demo viewers, which is down 36 percent from the comparable last week. CNN also fell 12 percent in total viewers compared to the same time last year. The top ten cable networks for most prime time viewers are as follows: Fox News (2,502,000) TNT (2,321,000) MSNBC (1,754,000) ESPN (1,579,000) HGTV (1,205,000) A&E (1,170,000) NBCSN (1,136,000) USA (1,040,000) History (1,015,000) TBS (1,015,000) Source Nielsen Research 2019

HLN still has some dignity left...and often beats the mother ship in ratings in many dayparts. HLN is the "escape pod" of CNN.

...and when that box fails after the power supply gets zapped during a lightning storm... "One Box Solutions" are a bad idea unless you want to be a slave to "the box".

So is KFMB going to do this in all shooting cases? Just asking...since I don't want anyone else "traumatized" by the faces of shooting suspects.

Good question... I would love to see a path map and equipment breakdown for those sites and how all those are fed and managed. I love the stories about these little translator districts and how they manage to import OTA TV pictures hundreds of miles away with just an old microwave transmitter and a few paper clips. Now you have to have all the subchannels and super dooper dolby sound (where available).

Both men were caught lying about stories... Good Riddance!

Oh that reminds me of our old Admiral 19inch Color TV that needed about 3 minutes for the tubes to warm up, and come to life. Ohhh....The Glow....

So what's up with this 10:55pm stuff on KFMB's TegnaSite? Did CBS give up some minutes in return for Les's departure?

More Koo Koo Roo's... Is everyone getting the same open? It needs shots of Dingos running in the outback...

Heavens to murgatroyd... That's the KFMB "Koo Koo Roo" music. Yuk!

They could always have a bake sale...if the budget gets cut.
