[quote name='oknewsguy']AND... the more newscasts you have, the more money you're going to make from political ad leading up to Election Day, and that's a proven fact[/QUOTE] Please excuse me @oknewsguy, because this is a good jumping off point for something where there are some broadcasting mis-conceptions [B]The KBEX-TV GSM and his Sales Weasels respond...[/B] If that was a proven fact... Every station would just go news 24/7 during elex cycles. Just because you have lots of inventory it don't meant it gets sold to the politicos. First... I have to sell ads to legit FEDERAL candidates at the lowest rate class on the "rate card" (not really a card)... If I have a hot local race I can pick and choose who I sell to, but most of us just sell to all candidates in that race. We all want to be fair, beside the love of taking all your money. There are more and more rules that have to be followed that God forbid we screw up one little rule...and we get sued, or piss-off the FCC or somebody. Note: Never a good idea for political parties to sue tv stations over ad issues. Second... Not all markets are considered "battle grounds" most the time. Sure there are 'Hot" races and some good "battle ground states" out there, but there are also many that suck and do not produce large political ad buys. Once every 4 years most stations will score some large buys...but that better carry you at least 2 to 4 more years if that's all you depend on for station income. I have other advertisers that are super loyal, and they don't want to be bumped or denied the regular slot they been getting on the 5 and 11 newscast for the last 50 years. I'm not pissing off my loyal regulars for the sake of politics. That car dealer has been with us longer than Joe Blow(d) running for "Animal Control and Behavior Specialist" aka Dog catcher. It's also a bad practice to grow and deflate your news department staffing based on you projected political advertising. Scripps does that and it's very demoralizing to the news staffers one the elex cycle runs. Not a good way to run any business. So political ads are very nice, but they are flighty, the reps are mostly hacks who demand way too much time from the sales teams. And just ask any GSM in CA, or NY and they will tell you how great the last "run" was...but the GM will tell you that the profits from the run was eaten up by new skyhigh state and local taxes...Not the Federal...go figure. Remember folks... There is a place in the front of the TV station called the "Sales Department" it's closest to the lobby and has really good parking...and the air conditioning always works. Those guys really call the shots in the world of TV. "Money First...Ratings Second." (tv sales credo)

Telemundo Contract Date: 07-22-2018 9:43 AM - Word Count: 192 Telemundo Contract SAG-AFTRA Approves Contracts For Telemundo; Non-Primetime Programming LOS ANGELES (CNS) - The Screen Actors Guild's national board has unanimously approved its first-ever tentative agreement with Telemundo Television Studios covering Spanish-language television performers, union officials announced. The three-year agreement reached Saturday follows 15 months of negotiations. Under the contract, Telemundo talent will contribute to and participate in the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan and SAG-Producers Pension Plan for the first time. They will also receive residuals for foreign and domestic programming and streaming platforms, based on a percentage of Telemundo's gross receipts. Also for the first time, Telemundo performers will be guaranteed minimum salaries and annual increases. Telemundo is the largest employer of Spanish-language talent in the United States. It's new contract goes into effect immediately. In addition to the Spanish media pact, the SAG-AFTRA board also overwhelmingly approved a new network contract covering a wide range of non- primetime programs that air on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox networks. This includes soap operas, game shows, talk shows and quiz shows, as well as sports and variety shows. That tentative agreement must go to the union's full membership for final ratification.

Consider it revenge for Rosanne.

Or as the producers of Springer will tell you in the green room... "You might get hit with jello...or you might get hit with a fist...Now sign the release, and enjoy the show..." Both knew what could happen, nobody was forced to be there.

I swear... 3/4ths of all the millennials will be unemployable by age 40... based on previous social media postings. Live by facebook and twitter... Die by facebook and twitter...

Good for Judge Jeanine! Whoopie got her button pushed...she got triggered. I'm sure the poor, shocked audience member will recover in time for the election.

Holy Watkiss! I thought somebody killed him long ago... So Congrats Mike! You made it. You got out alive. You had fun. That's all that matters.

I say Nexstar(or Sinclair) falls apart simply because it got so big that nobody could buy it...and I hope the goverment allows it to fail. No bail outs. Let it crash and burn so real entrepreneurs can try something new that can serve local markets better. The sooner it happens the better. Speculation can be very costly as Sinclair my soon attest to, TV stations groups should never be considered too big to fail. I see this whole Sinclair mess as being the "warning shot" that the FCC has fired across the bow of all the large station groups. I support comprehensive television reform.

Idiots! So KGTV wants the public help in finding a peeping tom in San Diego.. https://www.10news.com/news/caught-on-camera-peeping-tom-revisits-apartment Why did KGTV blur the face of the suspect? Is KGTV worried about being sued by a peeping tom? What if the was the window of a child? Would KGTV still blur the face? What if the guy was wearing a trump hat? Nice job KGTV....keep up the good solid investigative work.

Do you all feel the Stirr? I can feel it all the way in Surfridge. Like there needs to be more crap tv.

A whole slew of reasons depending on many, many factors. Email your local newspaper editor and ask them. Maybe they think there is no local interest, maybe they don't have the people to do so, maybe the ratings services don't make the info available. Ask the source...ask the editors of the newspaper.

I hear he has a spycam pointed toward that revolving door at WGCL...another cam at the Fulton Co, Jail...and another at the local AA meeting clubhouse. You heard it here first..

Oh ouchy!

It's NOT the studio that is the problem. It's the entire building that sucks. The electrical sucks...the hvac sucks...the place stinks. Moving out is the only viable solution, unless FOX wants to sink a crapload of money in the place.

How much for one of those KMOV blue bug screens??? ...because I want one for camping.

Hewitt is deep policy wonk...way too deep for most audiences... of BOTH parties. I don't understand why MSNBC even bothers with any type of conservative programming unless they have a guilty conscious. Ok here is a funny joke for you and the toons... Q: How can you tell it's a holiday on FOX News Channel??? A: Juan Williams is guest hosting every show. (cue chuckles) (rimshot)

Do they have a monkey... Named Boris?

The Saturday morning cartoons were one of the first targets of the PC police. We used to have some cool shows and cartoons between the Sid Marty Kroft stuff and the endless parade of crappy Hanna Barbera stuff on NBC. All us kids wanted to be in a cartoon "space rock" group...and I wanted a monkey for a mascot. Pass the Freakies please. it don't get more off-topic than that!

I would space it out a bit...expect some EP's and dept heads to get "the visit"...lop-off talent in 4 month intervals with completion by June 2019. I would make a list... But it's a little close to home now... Maybe I'm becoming a softie.

And like the nice little lamb that Matt was... He put on a brave little face...and managed to crack a brave little final parting smile...to his fellow workers... ...As they led him off to slaughter.

Thanks, I need a break for a few days...I can beat on you later in the week if it works better for you busy schedule. I have carpool this week, and all this winning is kinda tiring. SmookieDookie Snuggle Bunnie!

It's ok... You can BOTH be my friend. Kisses!

Ever since Radio Shack shut down the poor KITV engineers have been stumped on all this HDTV stuff. The rule of "Broadcast Quality" in the islands is simple... "If you can see the lava...it's broadcast quality brah."

I would "SuperSkew" the branding to female 13-65...and call it... "4-V" You may now ponder.
