  1. Aw man, you beat me to it! But anyways, I am thankful that someone had unearthed a CLT newscast from 1996. I do hope more people are willing to unearth more CLT content. AirchiveSloan is a legend!
  2. The man himself (Romines) came from WTEN in Albany, so it could be interesting.
  3. News Nation from Nexshit is like Sincrap's NewsCentral, but slightly less conservative!

  4. WECT still uses the old Limerick LIM4 graphics, that we all knew and loved!

    It would be great if Gray could just leave its Ellis-era logo alone and not screw with it!

  5. Good golly..... What works in Charlotte (home market) will not necessarily work in Tucson! Not to mention, Raycom graphics were previously hubbed in Tucson prior to the hub's move to Charlotte (again, my said home market) in 2014.
  6. Nothing says it like flipping the bird at the slightly lesser-evil Nexshit who probably shouldn't have gotten their hands on WJZY in the first place! Unfortunately, that's what happens when you have the Telecommunications Act of 1996 put into law that same year Hurricane Fran hit the Carolinas!!

  7. Introducing........ TriadMetrolinaNewswatch.

    WBTV, WCCB, and formerly WJZY until 2020 are my favorite Charlotte stations; in the Triad, it's WXII, WCWG (WTWB), and formerly WGHP until 2019.

  8. Apologies, I might just have to resurrect this dead thread.... Who was that voiceover guy for WJAC around the early 2000s? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCNCm-m9Dbo&t=19s&app=desktop You could also hear the same mystery voiceover guy on KRIV Fox 26's open in 1999: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G69p7V4eCkI He also did VO work for WWOR UPN 9 in the early 2000s. (This is in 2001): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eYcYfqgc_Q&t=20s The question: Who is this mystery voiceover guy that did plenty of work for a few stations (Cox, Chris-Craft, and Fox Television Stations)? Stay tuned! And again, apologies, if I have to resurrect this dead thread to help solve a mystery.
  9. In Mexico --

     

    Televisa and TV Azteca are like the Sinclair and Nexstar of their nation.

  10. Nex(Trib)star might reach my home market.........

     

    FOX 46 (WJZY) is too good to be acquired by them!!!

  11. With some of the ex-Raycom stations now having to deal with downgrades that are the Gray graphics packages, I do hope they don't damage WBTV, since it was one of Raycom's best flagship stations.

  12. WGHP is no longer on my channel list after several years. WXII will now take the lead in my Triad list, since XLV is stuck with Sinturd, and WFMY, whose "Dependable Local Coverage" kicked butt, is with the Tegnai-zed bullhagony.

  13. Fox 8 WGHP, thank you for being a part of my station list right here in North Carolina, bud. Now that the shareholders paved the way for Nexthot to (possibly illegally) take over Tribune, I will now have no choice but to remove you from my Triad list, and make WXII the sole leader of my list.

     

    Rest in Peace, WGHPiedmont 8,

  14. Due to freaking Apollo taking over WSOC and WAXN Action64,

     

    My home market, Charlotte is now on SAFEPARC mode, and it has been activated.

  15. a novelty name for the process that Tegna puts their stations through to bring them in line with corporate standards has infected WXIA's logo........

     

    please don't autocorrect what I said here, keep it short and simple.

     

    UPDATE: Still being autocorrected!

  16. Angry with the existence of Sinclair Broadcast Group and Nex****, and now, more annoyed with TEGNA being mentioned as a buyer for Cox.......

    RIP WSOC-TV and WAXN-TV?

  17. Tad Martin would rather have Pine Valley's WRCW in his hands rather than JR Chandler selling the station to ol' Perry of Nex****..... Of course, I am applying a soap opera like All My Children to the current situation concerning local stations, all because of deregulation from 1996. From now on, I am now censoring the word Nexstar, designating it as that "N-word" in broadcasting. Keep Nex, but censor the rest.

  18. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE AT TVNT!

  19. WCSC's mystery VO from the Stravinsky/Convergence era has been revealed....... According to the Southern Media NMSA, Joe Van Riper is revealed to be WCSC's VO guy: http://www.southernmedia-nmsa.com/#6,3,341 Over at WCSC's sister station [WBTV]. their VO guy is still a mystery......
  20. Gray + RAYCOM = GRaycom......

    What will happen to WBTV and WSFA's status as flagship stations of old Raycom (pre-Gray)? Will WALB take back the title of flagship station? Stay tuned!

  21. Triad is on SAFEPARC mode.........

    1. Samantha

      Samantha

      Is that some sort of emergency protocol?

    2. TriadMetrolinaNewswatch

      TriadMetrolinaNewswatch

      Well, this is some protocol that I made up, since you know that Nexstar is buying Tribune, and WGHP may soon find themselves in the hands of 'ol Perry. I'll be fine since I have WJZY on my channel list, but at the same time I will be furious at regulators for letting the merger happen, and think about how we should have taken action against the merger. Anytime Nexstar and/or Sincrap tries to force themselves on a market, that is when I activate SAFEPARC.

  22. Dang, that is one heck of a Hearst-Argyle camera graphics package being ripped off there! So we got KSDK ripping it off, then followed by KEZI in 1999 and Granada Tonight in 2000. Wow!
  23. Steve Stone..... I am familiar with that name! Must be a ringer, when it comes to hearing the voiceover, I must find out by hearing news opens to determine whether it is the same voiceover or a different one! I have also heard him on the WXII 12 News opens during the 12, 4 and 5 o'clock newscasts, so it is possible that it might be Mr. Stone, but who will try to find more possible answers? Stay tuned for more answers! UPDATE: It appears Mr. Stone is NOT the voiceover for WBTV, so it remains a mystery then!
  24. Hello everybody! Several months ago, WBTV dropped Charlie Van Dyke and in the opening posted 4 months ago, they seem to have a new, different voice-over person. I have no idea who it is.....
