Five years after they vacated the spot, one could say that NBC 5 finally had their own studio car crash.
I guess some old habits never die at NBC...

I'm not sure how many stations anywhere use it, but anything beyond iNEWS or ENPS sounds incredibly foreign to me.
At KBEX-TV we use IBM's Selectric desktops ...
Sure we could upgrade to those new Apple II computers...
But our Selectric's make that real "News Noise".

There's some kind of font-impairment disorder at the Youngstown stations...
Talk about an unholy mix of Gotham and Arial!
At least the ticker blends in nicely with the graphics in News89's post...even though that adds Lato to the sea of fonts being used!!!
Did you just "Font Shame" that poor woman?
Bullied over fonts..

If NBC were to replace Letster any thoughts on who they would replace him with?
I does not matter who replaces Lester because the problem is the product sucks.
Fix the process, and the execution of the actual newscast and it's contents.
Stop producing crap aimed at 6th graders.

Network news in general has been on the decline for the last seven years.Cable news has been on decline the last five years, they are enjoying a slight high right now but it is a fraction of viewers in a mass population of millions of people. It is no pinpointed on talent anymore, it is a trend and it will continue cause not many people don't watch television as watch. As a Nightly News viewer I don't often watch it live but I will watch it on demand or on my mobile device.
Also mainstream news is on the decline in general people are scattering to get their news they don't rely on just one source anymore.
I don't eat in some places because I don't trust the food.
When broadcasters produce a trustworthy product...the public will reward them with viewers.
I spend twice as much time (as a viewer) trying to confirm news stories that should have already been fully confirmed or vetted properly.
Lester was in San Diego on Thursday and Friday for a PR tour. Lester also managed to slip in a quick helo ride over the beach for some quick pops with the U.S. Customs and Border Air crew. They slapped some file video around it and called it a special report. I see MMJ's in 170+ markets do a better job with NO resources. Lester was phoning it in.
But to be fair to Lester...all the anchors pretty much phone it in.
The product is crap.
Everybody knows it.
Produce a decent newscast and people will watch it.

Joe was a solid newsman. I didn't know he had become a Dr......good for him.
I'm sure some of his old friends at KSBW would be sad to hear this.
Off to the big breakers in the sky...

KOVR-TV crew robbed after 5:00 a.m. live shot in Davis, Calif.
So why didn't the story include a picture or description of the camera and tripod?
I'm sure the station has other cameras and tripods of the same make and manufacture.
Show the viewers what to look for...maybe you catch the mopes at the same time.

After 32 years at KGO. Carolyn Tyler retires.
Good for her.
I bet she has a fat little AFTRA pension to enjoy also.
Good luck and have fun C.T.
You deserve it.

The battle for ownership of British broadcaster Sky ended on Saturday with Comcast outbidding 21st Century Fox with a $38.8 billion bid through a U.K. auction.
Why this really sucks for Disney.....

he can't be much worse than jay howell... he also implemented a cheap-o way to telecast the local minor league baseball games... taking the feeds of the team's in-house stadium cameras and sending them back to the station over cheap IP encoders (not fiber, some wireless junk) where they are switched... blew up right before the first telecast and almost sank it... if the engineers hadn't been clever... he is cheap cheap cheap!!!
Director: "Ready Camera Three..."
TD: "We can't take Three yet...it's still buffering..."
Yup that's cheap!

How did we all miss this...
Justin Draper is the new GM at KOVR.
https://www.adweek.com/tvspy/cbs-taps-justing-draper-as-kvor-gm/208150
warning, warning, warning...
Draper is a CBS bean counter.
Not a sales weasel...
Not a news pig...
Not a production or engineering nerd...
Draper is a Bean Counter. x2
Pay very close attention to what happens at KOVR with this guy because he will be setting the tone for all the other OnO's in the CBS chain.
If he makes a big splash in the Sacto River then expect CBS to shoot him up the ranks real quick.
Draper has one job.
Get KOVR "on financial track" asap....and then the rest of the chain shall follow.

Man, don't you hate it when asshats park their big trucks across multiple spaces?
And those same asshats are too afraid to send that truck to a hurricane...or a wildfire.
Why?
"Because it might get broken."
Parking asshat meets corporate asshat.

It’s obvious Ernest wants to be the next Gene Scott and literally take the station into the grave with him.
Even without the CW, it’s still a source of easy income, and he had to have foreseen that when he bought the license from Rex Humbard’s estate 35 years ago.
Please forgive me ...I have committed many sins and many felonies....
Grrrrr....I'm a tiger burning up with your love...Grrrrrr!

He has to be doing something right if he looks like that at 96.
The assisted living place where my grandma is always makes her look real pretty when we come to visit.
Oh....and BTW...
Just a little faith in God (or something else) will add a few years to anybody's life.

Well that didn’t last long. Neda Iranpour out at KPIX.
This leaves only Paul Deanno as the Chief Meterologist and only weather person left.
Brian Hackney does Anchoring and Weather on the weekends and taped reports for Sunday Morning.
Consumer Reporter Julie Watts does Anchoring and Weather Saturday Morning.
Reporters Emily Turner and Mary Lee fill in as well.
Is Neda going to replace Hoda?

Jimenez had a way of creating false bulkheads to hide studio lights. He used a "shoot thru" frame with a fake bulkhead attached way back in 1977 at KGTV.
Wish I could get an aircheck of that set..?
Here is a shot of that fake bulkhead....everything above the anchors is on a wood frame, directly in front of a studio camera.
Thanks to the Jack White collection circa 1979.
Very clever Gil.

It's a distinctive look but doesn't hold up as well as the Jimenez sets. Those bulkheads hang down too low and make the talent look compressed. The WTVQ set is the best of that lot.

Wish I could get an aircheck of that set...but here is a 1975 KGTV screen grab from a show close.
Pretty sure his set fetish began at KGTV.
Can anyone tell the class who that Assignment Editor was???

In this situation, it's not exactly clear if CNN is solely at fault for this. The Intercept article notes that their source wasn't the most reliable in the first place.
In essence, CNN should have used a better source than Lanny Davis, if he has such a history of lying in public statements ...and now what credibility it had has been jeopardized, because they trusted Davis when they should have verified instead of just trusting.
Why hasn't CNN retracted or corrected the 100000% fake story. Everybody else retracted the false story.
Who is CNN pretending to protect?
Not the "source" Mr. Davis.
Are they protecting the reputation of Carl Bernstein (google him kids) or are they just dead-set on poisoning the CNN brand forever?
Why do the owners allow this to continue. It's not like it's making any money. Is the DNC ready to jump in and support CNN through the next few years?
This is painful to watch.

ns8401 said:They’ve joined FOX then as a non legit news org. which should be an honor as highly rated as FOX is...
I won’t expect a reply though... when I point out how much of a joke FOX is you go silent running...
I'm not sitting back and allowing anyone to call me out and tell lies.
Better yet.
I know exactly what I will do with him...
(pop-click-whirrrrr)
Problem solved.

the demographic that grew up with "fake news"
It's not like that demo is not counted.
FACT :It's also a demo that is growing, and as you all know people tend to become more conservative as they grow older...and wish to keep the money they have earned.
Ding the demo all you want. but that demo votes and spends a heck of a lot of money on all kinds of stuff.
That's why FOX is Number one...across the board in all the demos.
CNN and MSNBC can only wish...

Ah yes, Fox is a big hit with the 54+ demo.
