My hunch is that rating are well enough that it becomes permanent even after December.

Looks like the Eyewitness News name is staying, and it looks pretty good in the CBS font.

Seinfeld reruns already jumped ship to KCOP, which I assume will pick up more KDOC shows in the fall. You know things are bad for your channel when you've turned over 4 hours of your programming in the afternoon to simulcast Decades!

Didn't want to give up the cushy 100,000+ extra viewers Blue Blood delivers!

In case you didn't see it on the Discord server, here's the return of the legendary NewsTouch 25 from Brownwood TV Cable:

As I said before, the fact that the newscast has not switched over to the new standard CBS font while the CBS Weekend News has was a sign that Norah's days were numbered.....

I don't believe we've seen this WEYI open before: On a side note, I can really imagine this cut of The NBC Collection being used for non-NBC stations if they removed the chimes from it!

Some WLIO from 1990: Channel 63 from Alamogordo, NM:

The fact that they have not changed over to the new standard CBS font (They're still using the slightly extended version from when Jeff Glor took over back in 2017) yet the CBS Weekend News already has, may also be a sign of Norahs days being numbered.....

For the sanity of other members, please don't flood this forum with your OCD speculation on stations getting new graphics themes etc like you do in the comments on YT! Now here's a pair of classic Milwaukee newscasts, one of WITI from 1990: And another of WTMJ as NewsChannel 4 from 1991:

As I expected, the CNN that Trump helped build is quietly falling apart....

By October, the blue chroma key wall seen in the promo had been salvaged from the remains and transplanted over to the temporary conference room set while repairs were made on the burnt section of the building and a new set was being built:

Here's a gold mine, opens from most of Benedek Broadcasting's stations from 1997, including some never before ones! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkX-g829SLg

The same type of situation happened in other New World markets, with the daytime shows moving to their new station 3 months before the full switch occurred. For example in Atlanta, Price is Right had moved to WVEU 69 in September of '94, which CBS was planning on buying before they struck an 11th hour deal with WGNX to affiliate with them.

Here's a news pieces from Independent Network News and WNEW's PM Magazine from 1981 focused on early home satellite owner John Flynn, and it was even uploaded by John himself!

Now at last, a full newscast from the NECN era of WFXT's news has been found:

Frankly, I think they're afraid to cut ties with the loyal viewers of Blue Bloods and Last Man Standing, as they get higher ratings and ad revenue than the news!

A compliation of 1990s news opens from all over the world.....made as a Yakko's World meme!

That's because he wants much of the viewership to be from the always dwindling ammount of cable subscribers. Basically, he's acting like Randy Marsh in that South Park episode when he bought the town's Blockbuster store....

A rare full newscast from KGO using an even rarer theme:

I'll just be the remaining "entertainment" shows outpace the news shows by a longshot....

@Samanthawill like this unique kid-centric version of the Arizona's News People promo: Some rare graphics, commercials, and a closedown from the first station of Australia's Prime TV, RVN-AMV:

Have we had video of the 1 minute version of "Memphis & Channel 3" yet? If not, here it is! This channel also has other neat Memphis stuff, including a dual sign-on for WLMT & WMTU from 1990: And a post-TVX influence id for WMKW, WCAY in Nashville had a similar ID: And some WMC newsbreaks from 1992/93 for good measure:

Some rare WBBJ recordings from the collection of former anchor John Scofield, first up is this 1985 one with NewScore as the theme: There's also this 6pm newscast from 1986 which John anchored, using Cascom effects along with what I assume is production music: And theres this piece from his last newscast in 1992, which features part of an open from 1988 with the ABC Something's Happening news theme, and closes with the music from the first VidAmerica logo:

ArchiveAnnex just unearthed what might be the earliest footage of Ed Hopkins ever:
