More like a couple years, but I hope it doesn't get as bad in the near future.

That seems tragic for WABC to go through two of their anchors with serious car accidents. It's like 2017 is already troubling for them.

And then they'll get other reporters to replace them... soon enough.

To me, NY1's graphics has been the same since 2013. News 12 has been okay from what you've been saying. However, I can't access News 12's coverage because I don't have the channel in my area. Same with FiOS 1, despite having the cable system in my house.

That's what every local news station does. They make sure they cover their precise locations alright.

It seems simple, if you don’t have cable or don’t have an Internet TV subscription. I’ll rather go watch cable news if I wanted national news, not from a local news station that wouldn’t get everything.

Why would anybody need to watch national news coverage from a local news station, if most of them could already get national news from their cable news channels?

So... they don't have it anywhere in most of New York City (considering every borough is a TWC area)? Well that sucks. Well, at least News12 would probably become a better alternative that don't have TWC, even though it's not NYC-oriented.

Just in Brooklyn within Altice areas? That seems very limited, especially for those who have FiOS outside of Brooklyn.

I'm probably not hoping that Verizon would bring in News12 for their NYC citizens, since the city already has too much local news stations within the area. All of which are covered by all 5 boroughs.

Yeah. Considering they report on anything within the five boroughs.

Well, NY1 treats all boroughs of New York City. So it wouldn’t be like it’s a big deal for anybody outside of Brooklyn and Queens to get News12. Especially when a lot of Staten Islanders still get the Staten Island Advance.

I mean that not a lot of people that I know had Charter before it had Time Warner Cable. I didn’t mention anything about bootleg cable boxes. Yeah, I meant that it was a tri-state operation. However, it doesn’t carry every area of New York City (Staten Island and Queens) and most of upstate New York.

Well, you're right. I'm from Staten Island and I don't even have News12 on my cable package. So it doesn't really cover all of the boroughs in NYC.

Not a lot of people in Staten Island that I know of really uses Charter (aside from their Spectrum cable boxes). Same for Manhattan and Queens. So it wouldn’t matter for the majority of those boroughs, but it wouldn’t be a good idea for a company like Altice.

I don’t watch News12, but it’s not like NY1 since that channel only broadcasts media to all boroughs of New York City (at least for those who have Time Warner Cable). News12 is more of a tri-state area news station.

You could just put your raw footage on Google Drive or Dropbox, where people could just get add your files to their own drives. People don't get money from it and it's a better solution for your case.

It was just an awkward comparison to Fabio.

Yes, except he doesn't have fabulous long hair.

You could just put the full newscast on YouTube, as they'll let anybody upload anything. They don't even have that 10-minute limit anymore.

Lots of writing related to TV news has to deal with actual stories that happened. I'm not surprised that it lacks creativity.

So it's just a local tagline that they used to not bore people?

That seems pathetically repetitive. Why not just open their news broadcasts with "This just in"? It's just the local news in Houston.

In which it makes their stories more repetitive unless they get another one to use for a week. That is their purpose of being a news station for over 50 years.

I guess they don't realize that they should've said "News Update" instead of "Breaking News". Breaking News is when a shocking turn of events happened, in which everybody wants to know what's going on.
