  1. It's been rebroadcast a lot on MSG Network.
  2. Getting commercials in before the ceremony starts. Brian Stelter's Reliable Sources newsletter provided insight into technical issues (picture and hand offs) are due to overused cell networks: " "So many people have converged downtown that it’s actually presenting some technical challenges for the TV crews, especially those that are sending in live signals via cellular, using the same jam-packed networks as all the fans. If a live shot suddenly seems blurry to you, that might be why! Everyone is competing for precious cell phone tower bandwidth."
  3. Exactly. I did start to switch between the game and the news on a different channel, and when they mentioned early on the Knicks closed the gap, changed the channel to WABC and left it there. I'm sure that station also had similar reactions with reporters in and out of the Garden and reporters at one viewing party in Central Park and another at a place in Brooklyn until switching to the Tonight Show (which Fallon left after taping to be at the Garden!).
  4. Again it seems the "fix" was in on this approval. Word came down from the WH, and Carr was all too eager to comply.
  5. I scrolled up to look at the previous version. The difference is the older version has colors of the peacock flying but the peacock and feathers were fixed. The updated version has the colors populating the peacock feathers. It is a bit of a throw back to the original NBC color programming vanity in the 60s. It also fits the NBC design scheme I read about that they are using the shape of the peacock feathers more in promotional vanity. Here they populate the feathers.
  6. Exactly, when I think of generational anchors at WABC, it's Bill Beutel and Roger Grimsby. Part of it is the original Eyewitness News format took off when they were brought in and assumed anchor duties. They changed the game for the station.. They are the Channel 7 (and NY broadcasting) icons.
  7. Same issue with other NBC O&Os. All are losing the same 2.5 hours. There have been no announcements yet from WNBC etc.
  8. They (and Ch. 7) are beneficiaries of those no longer WCBS with the changes at CBS News. I know several who no longer watch CBS News NY (or name of the month). They had enough of David Ellison, Bari Weiss and placating the temporary WH resident.
  9. Jen has been filling in for Pat Battle on the Sunday TINY which is significantly longer than the Saturday version.
  10. And the one time I saw it, it was awful.
  11. I've noticed the more space a the bottom look or at least a week now. Much cleaner. Not sure how long ago it was actually tweaked.
  12. At this point, should the FCC premature revenge motivated early review of ABC/Disney licenses be a separate thread, since, Nexstar, at least publicly, with its own problems, is not chiming in? If trump did not want satirical jokes about the age difference with his wife, including jokes made for years similar to Kimmel's, then he should never entered public life. He, his actions, his life, his looks, his speech all become fair game. That's the way it's always been. Saturday Night went to town on Ford stumbling on stairs. Comedians have always mocked public figures and leaders. Let's not forget he gives them lots of material to work with. Sadly, he can't take it and now has ordered this review which Carr was all too giddy to comply in an abuse of regulatory power.
  13. She has been off the air for probably a couple of months. I'm sure appreciates privacy.
  14. Scroll up and you will see the FCC filings
  15. This is Nexstar’s way of “investing” in local news.
