  1. Honestly, with ABC’s full capitulation including terminating reporters still dedicated to facts and truth due to criticism of this president smells of authoritarianism. How can ABC News maintain any trust? And worse, Shari Redstone seems intent on settling his bogus claim and destroying CBS News in the process.
  2. Let me guess, anchors give a few words with video, no in-depth coverage.
  3. There may have been some personal issues behind it, or a negotiation with ABC. Neither of which need to become public. Whatever, I'd just accept the decision.
  4. Yes, however, they kept all other CBS affiliations and they over index in SEC territory markets (GA, FL, SC, AL, MS, TX (granted not all are CBS stations).
  5. The only games Gray could get in Atlanta are if they bought a pre-season package of 3 meaningless games, and any local rights to a Thursday night Amazon Prime game if the Falcons are in the game. The regular season football package is exclusive to CBS, NBC, Fox, ESPN/ABC and to their O&Os/affiliates.
  6. Will they hire, build and launch a newsroom and product in just 10 weeks? If it is outsourced again to WCBS, WFOR, KTVT, WBZ or other O&O, I just can't see how they will have an actual local presence and build viewership. Because there is a large Gray affiliation agreement part of all this, I wonder who pushed whom? It puts a little different light on this.
  7. Their studios are not in Paterson. They are in Teaneck at the Glenpointe Corporate Center, not far from the GWB.
  8. Anyone know where in 30 Rock this is? It has a lot of the exposed building supports and reminds me of the MSNBC 4th floor space (which they will be vacating at some point). It was hard to tell from their balcony area. The 3rd floor is full of studios (MSNBC, WNBC, WNJU, NBC News Now).... I would assume the floorspace at the Fletcher Ave. studios in Fort Lee will be reduced for the bureau (WNBC's NJ bureau has been there for years). The building included the original CNBC studios, America's Talking which became MSNBC prior to their moves to Secaucus (MSNBC) and Englewood Cliffs (CNBC). The Secaucus studio is now MLB Network but they will be moving in a few years as well, to Elmwood Park NJ. I'm assuming MSNBC ruled out the former Fort Lee T47 space, even temporarily after the spin off.
  9. It was in my last Optimum bill. TBH, since Optimum added NY1, I've never watched. I don't live within the 5 boroughs. Now if News 12 NJ went back to it's hyperlocal roots and was live more than ~3 hours a day....
  10. I had the opposite situation. I moved from Cablevision's NY systems, which were quite advanced to St. Louis and had to settle for Charter. Besides poor installation that had to be redone, and outright lying, there was very little HD, slow internet and worse. It was a definite step way down. After they ddi some work in the area, my internet kept going out every 45 minutes or so (this was even before streaming). This was 2005 and 2006. Ironically the then VP HR for Charter, lived in my complex, though that is a role that is extremely temporary with that company. After lots of investigation, digging and more, they were incapable of finding the issue. I finally threw them out for DirecTV and ATT internet (slow but at least reliable). Horrendous experience and biases me against Charter today. Note I also moved away several years later back to Cablevision territory, which has gone down hill since Altice purchased it. What it does mean there is no more speculation that Charter will purchase Altice at this point. Their only partner seems to be Comcast, which in NJ would make a lot of sense since Charter's area is very limited right along the river.
  11. Looks like it's across Highway 64 from the St. Louis Zoo and Forest Park.
  12. Evidently it is the name of a power company in Maine that is disliked by customers. Didn't they do a trademark and use search?
  13. Note they don't give any specific examples. Never. Glad they will fight back and not become a propaganda channel which is what is wanted. Lots of legal barriers they can use to fight this.
  14. Network O&Os are sending anchors and reporters. WNBC is sending anchor David Ushry and reporter Gaby Acevedo. I believe WABC sent Mike Marza. I don't know about WCBS.
  15. There is a long history of WNBC news talent showing up on the network - Chuck Scarborough used to do national prime time updates during a commercial break. Chris Cimino did weekend Today weather. Al Roker. Matt Lauer was doing both TINY and Today at first. WNBC investigative reporter Jonathan Dienst shows up often on the network and for now, MSNBC. It's not what I would call an exception for NBC. Interesting Natalie was off at 4 and 6 but was on the 11 pm news.
