Notice the van had an internal "cage" built in. Same type cages the NYC stations use in the SUV's. The stuff stolen was sitting in the front where there was no cage.
Van was also unmarked.
If you enter abc7ny into the address bar it takes you to where they want you to go. I cannot remember the last time I entered ".com" for anything. Most browsers redirect.
You just handed it to them...on a silver platter...
Watch them do something Scripps mandated, and totally stupid.
BTW...
Did you see that Itica placed her ifb/mic pacs in her butt area tonight?
looked pretty bad in the on-set stand-up.
Let's play programming exec....
What would you do?
The only stipulation is you cannot give back the hour to local.
My decision would be to beg Baba to come back in a final "hail mary" attempt to milk that thing to the end of the big contracts.
3yr maximum.
What would the rest of you do?
You already got the bodies to do the newscast, and you don't have to deal with Oprah.
What will cost more?
Tyra?
News?
How about an hour of......
Cat Videos!!!!
(gunshot)
I know the network has knocked around the Idea of another hour of GMA.
In the olden days when the nets paid the affiliates they had some say. Now all they can really do is bitch and moan.
I'm strictly going on the boiler plate scenarios...and baba wawa is pretty savy so there may be some non-traditional contracts.
You CAN be sure ABC will milk it to the bitter end to avoid the payouts....
because who the hell want's to see Whoopi "on the beach".
KGTV has a slot at 7:30p.....gasp.
My understanding was that KGTV and KERO were both spared from "The Now" because of being on the west coast and unable to really meet the time constraints of the east/central time zone.
But I bet we can all expect something lame.....
Or
What about another half hour of the award winning 10-News???
Seeing that some mucky muck report this week that there is growth in tv newscast at 4:30am and 7pm slots.
Granted a .01% increase is still "growth".
Nothing would surprise me.
Pretty sure ABC can cancel it anytime they want.
True there are contractual obligations with the talent so ABC would probably have to eat the remainder of those contracts and pay them off.
Detroit cannot support another news outlet. It's just like newspapers, over the next few years you can expect to see TV news operations go dark...just like the papers.
Yeah...
So far nothing unusual 20mins into the 11am show.... but they may be starting with the imaging first and working the way down to the news stuff.
The only thing I have noticed is reporter Marie Coronel has discovered false eyelashes. She look like she is about to fly away.
The branding in the 11am show seems the same as usual. No different sig-outs or changes in the normal scripting.
KGTV traffic reporter Natasha Zouves heading to KGO as weekend anchor.
This according to Rich Lieberman 415 media.
I personally think she is very green and the KGO staff will eat her up, and spit her out.
Time for Scripps to send out another Zonie.
