  1. Tanja, Diane, and Tracy all got in the Cubs spirit this morning.
  2. Keep the ticker only on the morning show and GMA only. But a nice refresh nonetheless of an already great look.
  3. While randomly live streaming WUSA tonight, I noticed they were using a red and blue scheme on the L3s for election stories. Any other stations doing this?
  4. Sure, let's throw away a legacy news product in the largest media market in the country in favor of outsourced newscasts. Get real, that's not happening.
  5. That voicemail makes it sound like she's not a very friendly person.
  6. Ah, the glory days of GMA and ABC News, before the former started pandering to the younger audience and the latter started getting tabloid.
  7. The Griffin stations in OKC and Tulsa refreshed their current Hothaus graphics to a more diagonal look. Weather graphics are still the same, though.
  8. It happened again. The morning show came to a sudden end at approximately 9:52 because of audio problems. I love this show.
  9. Does the bug have weather forecasts? I missed the 11am news.
  10. I think I remember a time where there were four 4pm newscasts once.
  11. THE 11AM IS COMING BACK!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.robertfeder.com/2016/06/07/abc-7-moving-windy-city-live-to-afternoons-restoring-11-a-m-newscast/
  12. Because of a power outage, and the backup generator not working, WMC did their 10pm by phone last night. They also did their morning news by phone because of audio issues. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/see-how-this-memphis-station-handled-a-power-outage-right-before-its-newscast/165621
  13. It's the end of an era at ABC 7. Ron Magers is retiring this summer, as per Robert Feder. http://www.robertfeder.com/2016/02/05/ron-magers-ready-to-sign-off-at-abc-7-insiders-say/
  14. Melody Mendez announced on her Facebook that's she's leaving Fox 32 in spring to be part of the news team for the new NBC Boston.
  15. Ed Greene at KCNC anchored their (now-cancelled) 4pm news back in 2004 before he moved to weather.
  16. Chi-Town Rising was as bad as you thought it would be. They waited until 30 seconds after midnight to count down the new year. And Mario Lopez? Seriously? Nothing says Chicago like having Slater host your local NYE celebration. And I've never met a local that uses the saying "Chi-town". You're better off watching Janet Davies and Mark Giangreco embarrass themselves on ABC 7 every New Year's Eve.
  17. Surprised nobody posted this yet, but Vic Lombardi is leaving CBS4 Denver for Altitude TV at the end of the year. He'll be hosting Nuggets pregame, halftime, and postgame shows. He'll make his debut on Altitude New Year's Day. http://www.altitude.tv/news/vic-lombardi-altitude-sports/
  18. Speaking of that, it appears the McDonald's Thanksgiving Parade is still intact on WGN America. I thought 2014 would be the last edition to be simulcast nationally because all Chicago-related programming was removed from the channel.
  19. No, they made her sound like a robot.
  20. Linda K is still with the Lottery. She's now the main VO for the new digital drawings.
  21. A 6-word phrase idiots yell during live shots to get attention.
