So does the Terrorism Desk have it's own Terrorism Stapler, and a Terrorism roll of tape? Or does the terrorism desk have to borrow the paperclips from the Weather Desk?. Are they always stealing the best chair?????

Somebody has to argue for the money to do that. Remember Tribune just emerged from bankruptcy so it's nice to build up a bunch of cash reserves first. You have to remember there are many, many expenses for running a news dept.

Yea him. I get him mixed up with the KLAS area 51 anchor.....George Knapp.

...and he's putting the band back together.....Dennis.....Leslie.....Elane....and who was the drunk guy????

o I guess those political ad dollars won't trickle down that deep in Vegas. Or will all the political ads be in the novellas?

This means he will spend the rest of his life cursing at the tv news and drunk dialing the assignment desk, and other stations assignment desk. Retirement gets easier after you destroy those first few tv's in a drunken and pill fueled rage. Welcome to the real 'otherside'.

Thanksgiving will never be the same.

You guys are lucky then. Scripps is ramming it down our throats everyplace else.

Interesting that Scripps may dial back on the SM / Live center portions of that show. They are pushing the hell out of SM in every market...and to revert back to more 'traditional" show may be a bit telling. KPIX/KBCW San Francisco has been running a sm heavy 10pm called "Nightbeat" after about a year it's been a giant flop. Is the social media thing working anywhere on tv news? Can the success of sm formats be based on regional, age or even racial/cultural preferences and incomes? If WXYZ swings back to traditional...and they get a ratings bump...will it be a reality check?

The problem was the show was too high in fiber... It gave everyone the shits. That box is priceless!

She put the kid up as a sacrifice in an effort to keep her job. Does this entire family not have lawyers??? Ever since the indictments on her hubby and the step sons troubles ,she has been making statements to the media. So far she is skating...but keep yer mouth shut lady before you become a "named co-conspirator".

They have a Ford Pinto newscar...pretty bad ass.

Just don't say anything bad about cats when talking to ND Tiffany.

Ownership of "San Diegos News Source" is in question... Before Paul Anedregg(Breaking News Crapper) was hired he was using www.sandiegonewssource.com... He took that because of ownership issues with his last domain www.citibeatnews.com. The folks that run citibeat magazines nationwide were miffed. So Paul gets hired by KGTV only to rent or transfer the domain to another junior news ranger named Anthony...well Anthony was not happy with the arrangement with Paul so Anthony bolted from that site over to onscene.tv so he could pay less in stringer fees. The domain went dark a few months ago...but got jump started and paid up this last month. I think he had to buy it back from a squatter. Now that KGTV abandon it I guess nobody may really care. I bet it's never even been registered anywhere for any reason.

The desperation gets worse as they are offering only $100 to watch the morning show. One promo says it's really a "gift card"....but Cha Cha Cimigunga says it's cash. Hell we have local radio stations giving away $1000 every morning. But yup... The ultimate proof your product sucks is to give away money during sweeps.

Team-10 would get lost and be late after reading the ticker. Hey rkolsen... The wx, stocks, and news are all fine on the tickers here also... just the traffic....so far in San Diego on 3 different stations now. Now Maryland??? Are you telling me that you and I are the only people actually reading the tickers ??? I wonder if it's a secret coded communication stream used by the feds to talk to the space people.

Also you can add WMAR to the outdated traffic ticker list. Weather seems to be on point. Amazing... Does it show San Diego road conditions also??? I wonder if these tickers are locked in some kind of "test" mode. Or they lost the instruction book at Scripps Corporate.

They are going to milk every cent out of that set. I wonder why they have never really expanded that place beyond what expanded 25 years ago. You could easily take it to 2 or 3 stories and have killer views and bad-ass outdoor sets.

There is some form of compensation for the plugs. There can be givebacks of time, special access, promos and visits. These little things are part of affiliate agreements as various "riders". As an affiliate you want little cool stuff...and the net wants your local promo tie-in. Everyone is supposed to be one big happy tv family. You want to push the viewer into the next hour anyway and it belongs to the network. Besides, if your station plays ball with the network, you might get Rosie from The View to fly out and stand next to your anchors in the May promo's. She may even do a little dance with them.

That is a scary vision...if it was Dave he would have claimed it was accidental and part of the Worlds of Wonder.

Because except for those chaps he was buck naked. Palm Springs is not FAR enough from SD to NOT be noticed.

Current.... But I digress. if it was "former: the list could be endless lol.

And that;'s one of the G-rated code names... Bet you can't guess which weatherman got the name "Chaps"....

I swear the only place they have not tried as a stand up spot is the restrooms and cafeteria. At any second I expect Anne to wander out on to highway 94 only to be run over by the braking news crapper. I actually found myself watching Miss Piggy and the 4pm NBC7 offering just so I could "come down". KGTV needs to spend the money for a Steadicam Jr, and a real trained operator like KSWB did.

The Now...San Diego. It's completely unwatchable for me. Reminds me of ping pong balls on crack. Missed cues, tech glitches everywhere, and very confused and flustered reporters. We are supposed to be "inviting these people into our homes"??? Well get me a tranqulizer gun for Ann State so I can shoot a tranq into that booty.
