There's a whole YouTube account dedicated to pre-2008 WGN9 and superstation stuff: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYcDLgRLctkxt19__f_EzCQ

Are these laws for journalists or...

I've noticed neither ABC7 nor WGN have run the Luna Carpet closed captioning billboard at the end of newscasts lately.

Check the name of the lady to his left. And that account is for KABC only, unfortunately.

Here's Gallardo's POV of that incident: [MEDIA=twitter]945008038519431172[/MEDIA]

Diane's back in the anchor chair for the Saturday morning news with Mark Rivera.

Who would do weekend mornings if that were to happen? Schwarz returning?

Welp. http://www.robertfeder.com/2017/12/20/weather-alert-abc-7s-jerry-taft-retire/

They put Paul back in front of the video wall for a weather segment today.

I'm just going to leave this here. Happy Holidays, TVNT!

why is the volume so low Very nice drone shots of Amalie Arena, SkyTower, and the Tampa skyline. Like the music.

Gah! You're right. Fixed.

Chris Matthews was accused of sexual harassment in 1999. [MEDIA=twitter]942220519960702976[/MEDIA]

Out and About is the perfect thread to put it in. We don't need threads for every anchor retirement. And we don't need to type like this either.

PSA: Mark Rivera makes his anchoring debut tomorrow morning.

WMAQ has a name for their new New Year's special: New Year's Eve Live In Chicago. http://www.robertfeder.com/2017/12/15/robservations-abc-7-nbc-5-square-off-new-years-eve/

Just thought you should know that Kristi Ikemire is WGN's motion designer. She does a good job at it, too. http://www.kristiikemire.com/

It's Taft, isn't it? Sigh.

Nice shade from Jessica D'Onofrio: "It will be interesting if the President will be tweeting about the outcome of the race this morning." Last night, he tweeted this: [MEDIA=twitter]940795587733151744[/MEDIA]

I always watched the News at Nine on Sundays on WGNA while I was away from Chicago, especially the Sunday 9pm newscasts. Instant Replay is basically unwatchable online now because it's blacked out for most of the show. Part of me wonders when Dan Roan will hang it up.

I just heard on the morning news that Jim Ramsey is retiring after 30 years. [MEDIA=twitter]940564141055643648[/MEDIA]

I bet when KDFW get this music, they'll dump that 7-day forecast chime from Outlaw News.

Here's a little more inside baseball via my "connection" to the station aka my cousin's wife who works there. Siafa Lewis is being dispatched to Minnesota to report from Super Bowl LII. Katie Kim is going to Pyeongchang to cover the Winter Olympics, but she has to leave weeks in advance before the games start. NBCU pays for both reporters' accomodations (airfare, hotel, etc).
