Or (God Forbid) "10 News Yahoo!"

It's not up for debate...it's a statement of fact.

"Virtual Eyewitness News" Social media heavy featuring virtual news reports from your favorite Pokeman friends. (rates and data apply)

Yep....agree 1000% on that. They should be saying ... More!

Ok lets take a look at this... What happens IF NBC starts to get ratings mileage out of Rokers "New" attitude?? Will NBC have the gonads to let him run with it...it's called "Attractive Conflict" in consultant talk and viewers can really latch on to it. It's a tricky thing I will admit can go sideways, if not properly staged and managed (or loosely scripted) correctly. I'm not real sure anyone at NBC is capable of micro-producing such an affair. People really noticed Roker "go off", some really loved it. There is room for the conflict if they play it correctly.

Don't get me wrong... A lot of good news people didn't make it out alive. The most publicized downfall of the time was Jessica Savitch. It was a terrible crushing event that really hit home. But the pain didn't last long enough because nothing changed one bit. Amazing how anything ever got done seeing most newsrooms were always 'hung over"...until right after the 2pm story meeting when all was good again. TV news has no balls anymore because nobody is just drunk or high enough to tell some of these bozo-politico's to eat s%$t and die.

I kept screaming to my TV saying... "Hit his ejector seat Al...do it, do it!" Then I woke up.

I don't know exactly what year newsrooms became "pussyland", but I think it was right about the time they outlawed indoor smoking.. Fights and flying objects were common things in local newsrooms. Maybe it's because there was also ample booze dispersed from producer's and assignment desk. News Directors were also much skinnier and moved quicker because they didn't want to be targets. They also tended to last more then 2 years at a time.

You get a "like" from me for the use of "delinquent low rated show".

There are plenty of current and former TV folks working as drivers and call screaners for escort services. They seem to be very detailed oriented and cut straight through the bs associated with booking the calls.

So I guess "Detroit 442" is out of the question.

KXnet is so much sexier.

Plenty of "buyers" out there....just not a lot of banks or investors stupid enough to get into another cumuless- clearchannel fiasco. \ I'm not a fan of TV's selling off the am/fm's of legacy calls. It's as bad as selling off one of your children. Good radio still does make money in many markets. Radio survived TV, newspapers, newsreels ,Talkies, free porn and a slew of other attackers so far.

It's pretty funny. She seems like her perfect lifeplan was in danger. I wonder how she reacts if Diet Coke is sold out of the vending machines.

What about the audio? Are there a couple giant concert blasters on the roof somewhere?

I thought for sure they would go with this ....

Actually she is on standby to retweet unconfirmed info while Lester is on his way to monitor Facebook and take on-air phone calls from Howard Stern jokers, and NBC correspondents all in the wrong position to know anything real.......all the while waiting for the Associated Press to confirm rumors that some major event has occurred.......Hours ago. Sorry for the correction...It was rude of me.

Follow the link RKO provided for the free trial subscription....but they only give those to qualified bloggers, and it takes 3-5 years to process the request .

Now that's true comedy.

It's like a high school click and he is the new kid. They will do all kinds of stuff to haze him and see if he is "worthy" of the Today Show. You should never see this manifested on the air, and if the average viewer picks-up on the drama, then the chance of total failure is greater. Total Childish behavior, but it happens in just about every show/newsroom in America. Name the people "they" have hazed.... Ann Curry... Deb Norville... Feel free to add names if you wish.

Did somebody say Nancy Pender??? Torture can be administered in so many ways....

I guess you missed this gem in the article... News director Chris Kline, who has orchestrated the newsroom overhaul, said each one of the station’s newscasts was up in the July ratings book, a significant feat for a station whose news programming typically ranked third in the market a year or so ago. The July book??? LOL! That's like "graduating" from the 6th grade.... At least somebody cares about the July book. Great spin Chris Kline... Hilar. You still have a TV station ya moron...how many DOLLARS are each of those Facebook friends worth??? Come on Chris...give me a solid dollar figure for our power point demo. How much is each "like" worth?

His name is "Lucky"... ...Lucky the games are not in Korea.

That usually happens when the chyron operator has a few shots during dinner break. They enter the wrong event number (too drunk) and bring up the old stuff, that they forgot to delete (drunk again) last week when the new graphics arrived. Too drunk to "preview"...Chyron people are that way.
