It was like watching someone trying to feed steak to a baby. They seem to be trying to create some synergy where there really is none at the time. Just wait till that week between Christmas and New Years when absolutely nothing is going on news wise. How will they fake the rush?

I thought the first show was a disaster. It was artificially "fast paced" and it showed. Just because you have a new set it does not mean you need to move every 6 seconds. USE A STEADICAM!!!! What are they gonna do on a slow news day??? Smoke some crack to get revved up?? They actually should have that hyper Virgina Cha anchor "The Now" and for gawds sake.... Get rid of the "Weather Pinata", she just does not do a thing for me...move her to the weekend am show and let me oggle over Kristine Keogh at least.

BTW I didn't realize how polish KARE 11 News product is. It doesn't seem too Gannett-ish/TEGNA-ish if that make sense. I find it more Estonian or French. I'm sure G/T is aiming for more of a Dutch / Finland look...but Polish is grand too.

It's the Brave Little Toaster!

It's KGTV 's first ever female New Director. she lopped off heads a few months back, now she is bringing in her own picks.

Now just add NBG as the new GM and Doug Dougherty (sp) as the operations director...and you got the old band from San Diego(KCST) and LA(KCBS/KCAL) back together. They may actually do some serious damage to KGET and KERO. Can they get Doug from KGW?

I found the content fine. The execution of the testing was what sucked. In that case the volume and operation was controled by the driver(understandable) for safety reasons. We won't know until Monday during the MTS rollout how the new system will operate, but they will want to avoid the "Jailhouse" TV problems when the English speakers and Non- English speakers duke it out in the isles over what telenovella to watch.

I hope they tell Renee Nelson about the broken traffic ticker. Jason Martinez said we was going get it fixed a few weeks ago.

Seeing that ND Tiffany Lupenski came from Portland it all makes sense. More "San Diego Mommies" to watch fight it out for the top "Anchor Mommy" slot. I hope there will be cupcakes.

The Transit TV was tried on the North County Transit system also. The funniest thing was the electronic "stop announcer" that had big problems "saying" Spanish street names properly. Kinda likw a messed up GPS voice.

SD Trolley TV Eds: At noon MONDAY, 12th and Imperial Transit Center, 1255 Imperial Ave. Rob Schupp of the MTS can be reached at (619) 557- SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The Metropolitan Transit System in San Diego is scheduled Monday to launch a pilot video-on-demand service on Green Line trolleys. Passengers on the line, which runs from downtown to Old Town then east through Mission Valley to El Cajon and Santee, will be able to watch movies, television shows, cartoons, action sports, Hollywood updates and other entertainment for free, according to the MTS. The MTS-TV service will be available for smartphones, laptops and tablets. Riders on the Blue and Orange lines will be able to use MTS-TV by the end of the month, the MTS said. CNS-08-21-2015 12:47 So what local station will be the local "News Partner"??? I can't wait!

WGN want's it's cut of the estimated 15 billion in campaign spending in this election cycle. Stations are adding 4pm,7pm and 10pm shows all over the country. Who cares about ratings since stations are pretty much required to accept the ads.

But most DBS subscribers cannot bounce back and forth due to contracts. The tide is changing very quickly...faster than DBS and cable can fathom. Free OTA and a 5-30 mbs internet connection can do serious damage to DBS and Cable. I think there will be a giant push for de-reg, dropping fin/syn completely and letting the markets fight it out.

It's a very bold move. Cord cutters are buying antennas and enjoying all those FREE subchannels and free HD.

Negotiations on camera movements and angles go back to the Nixon / Kennedy debates. Just about every debate since then have included them as part of the discussion. Many ofthe items are just "check boxes" in the interest of fairness.

Yeah I finally saw the job posting....I digress. Puppy videos and the Breaking News Crapper! More non-stedicam shaky shots.... Maybe KFMB can bring back.... "This Day" If Jim Holtzman and Ron Mires were dead,,,,they would roll in the grave. To bad both are alive and have to watch this crap.

Just another newscast for political avails. You can bet there will be plenty of puppy videos and maybe even the world famous broken KGTV traffic ticker. As far as a "live center anchor" goes.... Don't count on getting "anchor bucks", it just a fancy title for MMJ. Could even be a perdiem MMJ. If that sounds, fun then get in line to pee in the cup!

Natasha is in a better place now. She will always be welcomed back for vacation fill-in. Kimi Evans was hired from day 1 as perm. "Natasha coming back" was the worst kept secret in recent local TV history. 5 screaming kids beats the hell out of a TV newsroom in 2015.

If it wasn't for Maury I would not know who my daddies were.

Former FOX-6 San Diego Anchor Lynda Martin spotted co-anchoring on KFMB's /CBS 8 morning show this morning. Most likely fill-in since it's that time of the year.

Just split them down the middle... One side KPHO, the other side KTVK. Hubcaps on one side...no hubcaps on the other. That will confuse the hell out of the reporters. It worked for KCAL/KCBS.

It also features a very young John Coleman later of KUSI

That "Brand Equity" is what is killing them.

Heather Hopeless KFMB... How many times can she say "were talking about"......in one liveshot??? I counted 6 times. Lucky for her I didn't record that liveshot.
