  1. A couple hundred possible copyright issues may have had something to do with that.
  2. [quote=" And Gannett is a pure-play newspaper business now. Mine as well just drop all the newspaper branding and push all digital. Stop trying to save newspapers where papers cannot be saved. Many small hyperlocal papers are thriving...but let the OC register die...let the SF Chronicle die... You want a hard copy??? Print it yourself.
  3. Here is her website...and leg shot. http://www.angielassman.com/
  4. It's getting harder and harder to tell the difference. I watched the weekend offerings in Palm Springs and L.A. and they were both just as good / bad depending on how you view. Large markets need super cheap people just like the smaller ones. It' s really starting to show.
  5. I play this while playing with my little chopper 8's...we play "fire" and "earthquake". When we play politicians...we use cut 2.
  6. Because FOX operates the black helicopters and we don't discuss that here.
  7. Can they move it to 2.2 later if they wish? Do the rules allow or prohibit that kind of simulcast on a sub channel?
  8. Very nice breakdown. Once the buyouts are over, what will be left to cut? Sales better her busy.
  9. She is done with the breakfast shows. Expect to see Lara push for more prime time entertainment / hosting type duties that focus more on her abilities in a singular role.
  10. One person that took a buyout from another group was hit with a 40% tax bill on 25 grand buyout. Ouch!
  11. An Incomplete news team...They broke so much news...they just broke.
  12. One by one the old anchors and reporters marched off to the green yard bins for composting...
  13. Then it's a real sweet......deal. People have been radio silent on this because the no compete is the obvious first question. Are buyouts being offered in the non no compete states? I'm sure somebody here keeps track of that. Nobody seems to be talking.
  14. I'm gonna build me a city called "Old News City" and fill it full of Tegna retirees and all the rest of the washed up and disrespected news men and women. Every night will be awards night...rubber chicken dinners and all. Major news story re-enactments, story time with Uncle George. We will have a weather club for all the old weather people. We will allow drinking, smoking and swearing. We will bury you with your Emmy. Die with what little respect you still have left.
  15. Well I don't think FOX needs spectrum auction cash like some others do, and I would fester a guess that the viewership via the cable channel is much greater then the sub-channel would be. My guess is they are just going to "dual image" KTVU and KICU. Not more news or really anything different. Just more consolidation in graphics and places where you can save money. Somebody elsewhere floated the thought that it may be a news intensive thing. Right now there is no indication of that in any way, shape or form. It will not be the new home of the KTVU Castaways.
  16. Now that's a funny idea... Take the Tegna buyout...and bolt across the street! Oh you hope Tegna thought of that scenario right??? They probably did...but what could can the really do unless they include a no compete clause in the buyout terms....and is that realistic? My old pal Homey the Clown used to say... "I don't think so" (whack)
  17. With the right approach and good writers, they could turn the cameras on themselves since the product is soooo bad ..that it's funny in some cases. On second thought... They would screw that up also.
  18. I guess you are really playing the odds that a lot of people will actually take the buyouts...thus leaving some "in the clear"...or maybe not. It's all one big crap shoot from what I'm seeing. After all these cuts are finished ..... What will be left to cut?
  19. Sorry for not paying attention here, but what if someone is on the buyout eligible list, but chooses not to take the buyout? The package must be pretty sweet since I have not seen any bad words from any of the players...or is there a non-disclosure ??? Just not seeing many details anywhere.
  20. They admitted they bought it to go with the cilantro.
