  1. Those walk-in bath tubs are kinda nice, and why walk up the stairs when you can RIDE?
  2. I will be happy to debate you or anyone else at any time....anywhere. All I ask is that you come armed with verifiable FACTS and not a bunch of talking points or emotional garbage. I would expect you to also have a very deep knowledge of the subject including all relevent players and legal scenarios currently being discussed by the pointy bearded university types. Anytime...anywhere. I look forward to your invitation. ~Chuu These goes that stupid KBEX airplane....AGAIN!
  3. When have I ever run away silent from debate here???? NEVER! FOX has ratings that reflect it's ability to attract an audience. it's all about money. Forget the politics because it's OK if you hate Trump. But FOX is #1 with waaaay more people. FOX gained audience last quarter while CNN's viewers continue to RUN away. Hating Trump has destroyed CNN. Otherwise democratic viewers would be watching CNN by the millions. TV is a business first. CNN is dying right before our eyes. Go hug your children.
  4. Any station that relays on social media for it's content is on a path to failure. Show me ONE success story of a newscast based on SM. Now take a look at a station that doesn't use SM as a crutch or a starting point for its coverage...a station that gets very solid ratings and has higher billing than any other local station including all the network affils locally. It's KUSI.
  5. This has become too painful to witness. The once mighty CNN degrades it's product to the lowest of the low. And people wonder why CNN is called "fake news"? Here is why... https://theintercept.com/2018/08/28/cnn-credibly-accused-of-lying-to-its-audience-about-a-key-claim-in-its-blockbuster-cohen-story-refuses-to-comment/ Now I "get" that CNN wants to be the network to "Bring down Trump", but it will never happen because CNN has destroyed it's own brand...that BRAND was credibility. CNN is done as a legit news org. Nobody can save CNN now. Just like the catholic church it needs to be torn down for good...and then MAYBE rebuilt from scratch. The only saving grace is that hardly anybody (less than 250,000 viewers per week) watch CNN. More people last week watched Rick and Morty (pretty funny show) on Cartoon Swim. Like watching a good friend commit suicide in front of you... Good Bye CNN. """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" There goes that KBEX-TV "EatNews One".... whoooooosh!
  6. http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2018/08/26/jemele-hill-espn-parting-ways-reports.html You can bet for the 2.5 million dollars she was required to sign a nondisclosure exit agreement. CNN or MSNBC will be eating down her door soon.
  7. She has already admitted to pushing the girl,,, She is on video...and she is a juvenile . Slap on the wrist. FWIW the networks do not provide lawyers...you have to arrange for your own lawyer if you want one next to you while Michael Strahan interviews you. The very last thing a booking producer wants to hear from you is "I need to talk to a lawyer first"...(full stop)! It is unethical for a lawyer to 'cold call" or "ambulance chase" after a potential client. YOU have to make contact with the lawyer first....they don't just show up unannounced or else they get in big doo-doo with the state bar and can be fined, dis-barred or suspended. Happy National Bacon Day
  8. But do KING and KONG offer a happy ending? Didn't think so!
  9. The President has been very clear recently...and most educated folks agree that... FAKE NEWS is the Enemy of the People. Start using real "sources" and start confirming stuff in triple. You might get some viewers back of you do your job in an unbiased way as you are supposed to. NO Fake News!
  10. I take it you all saw Lieberman and the Natasha stuff? @SFTV @TheRob
  11. Where is KGTV military reporter Hanna Mullens? Nothing from the reporter with the 13" waist since mid March. And what about that Bree Stephens....she is also MIA. Oh well... Here is a cute pic of Hanna playing Army...call if you spot her.
  12. he might not want to return once he sees how far his dollar goes...and the better schools...nicer people...less traffic(much less) cheaper gas...less poo and needles...cheaper and better housing... ...and SANE normal people.
  13. I can't even see PBB working in PHX because people are too well behaved in AZ. I'm really kinda shocked that nobody local in the B.A. picked him up. He is also a pretty solid beat reporter.
  14. Well if you like the "experiment" then be sure to let the station ND know. They love the feedback from loyal viewers. It actually might make a difference.
  15. It figures... It's August. That's what stations do in August...they twiddle with anchors, and the slots because of vacations or whatever. Reporters will anchor...fish will walk upright. It's only August.
  16. Nobody was beaten... Just the cars and trucks were beaten...no humans, snowflakes or pets were injured.
  17. [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)
  18. 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.

  19. Consider it revenge for Rosanne.
  20. 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.
  21. 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...
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
