Yeah I’ve seen his resume.

That too bad for Byron Miranda I thought he could be a really good successor to Mr. G if he retired. He definitely had the potential I do not like Stacy Ann like that I wouldn’t be surprised if she started some things that pissed him off.

It’s why ABC will always remain number #1 even with all the changes that have happened with the move to there new building and everything, they’ve remained consistent.

Hope it doesn’t affect ABC’s ratings I hope they can stay number 1.

No it won’t really, honestly they never really interacted with the live audience outside except for weather hits, and also presentations outside the studio. I just hope it doesn’t hit them ratings wise.

Facts… Austin like Orlando are strong secondary markets, honestly they too are irrelevant but I think FOX just wants that ad revenue from the high ratings.

Well with MSNBC moving out soon, they’ll have a lot of studio space soon. But if Tom likes it I don’t see a problem. That today logo can be removed for the nighttime shows. I’m sure the set can be modified in between shows Tom already moved to another part of the set for Top Story. Ya know I think studio 1A is a great space, and with today’s technology they can have there own space for all principal shows, breaking news and election coverage and special reports as needed.

CBS is gonna make ASMR popular.

Glad he’s not retiring I’ll give him to 2035. But I’m glad he’s staying.

You know this is one slow rollout.

I wonder how WWJ is doing in the ratings lately.

He also did a special report from 1A today also. Yep he retaining those duties too wonder if he’s the managing editor of that program also, whatever he has a heavy workload. I probably would’ve stepped down from one program to focus on another. If Studio 1A becomes to studio for all the important NBC News programs then it needs to be extensively renovated, I think it’s a good idea for both programs to share that space.

Muir been on the chair for the longest out of any of the networks while CBS and NBC changed anchors for there flagship programs a combined 6 times since Muir got the job in 2014. In fact I’m going back to Muir tomorrow I’m just used to him, I just wanted to see this change out.

Wow that was harsh got home later but i saw the last 15 minutes so i can really put a finger on it. I have some other opinions but id keep it to myself. I’m just glad I’m no longer on camera anymore, ehh I hate it one thing it made me realize is I don’t wanna be famous. Maybe someday I’ll return, but I like my sales job I was making more anyways. Austin will be fine he really likes small markets he’s not a fan of big markets because he cares and wants to mentor journalists like myself he’s a good guy who just a the wrong end of a deal he was passionate he wouldn’t be able to see potential like he did in me in a big market because he wouldn’t have been able to hire me without no experience or Eric or Marcus. He generally doesn’t care about market size he loves what he does I wish they were more people like that in all industries.

They will have a hard time.

Wow. Didn’t see that coming. The new station launches newscast it definitely gonna struggle in the ratings. Like some have said this is purely money related I don’t think CBS knows how hard it is yeah they have newscasts but it’s produced somewhere else. You’re talking about moving production in-house and starting an entire news department from scratch, in a market with 3 established stations and one station that losing it affiliation struggling to keep up now you add another newsroom in the picture. I think CBS is gonna have a very weak prescene in Atlanta. This was money based not ratings based and it will hurt CBS.

You just mentioned one key word flagship.

Yeah after my little stint working for KMSG MY53 News at 8pm in Fresno I figured out I don’t like this industry too much. Yeah I was fortunate to get a job and I have a reel so if I want to comeback into I can get hired. But it funny how easy you can backdoor this profession. Shoot my mom is teaching me AP format. But I lost my passion for this industry and the Reddit forum I was in was full of Debbie downers and honestly I accepted that, I just looked at myself in the mirror and said screw this. Though I enjoy talking about it that’s why I’m in this fandom. But the thing I will say is my boss Austin Reed who now in Yakima-Tri Cities market really taught me a lot he taught me how to put together a package what is a vsot is, he taught me how to pitch stories he even gave me the freedom to do whatever news story I wanted. I did a story on the NH primaries, he told me everything about local news answered all my questions. I’ll be forever grateful for that. We don’t talk as much anymore but he was a blessing. He was also very defensive of the broadcast as a lot of people including some people on this forum who I won’t name constantly demonized the broadcast, criticism was alright we had a lot to improve but some weren’t nice we did the best with what we had we had cheap owners that really didn’t want to invest in the product and abruptly fired us for no reason shoot I was on vacation when I got laid off but we managed to put out a good product every day Monday-Friday for an hour. We even bested a competitor newscast. Btw one of my colleagues Eric Walker who also had no education background and also worked for Austin is now doing news in Boise, Idaho, now I considered applying to some news jobs and putting my reel after I saw him get that job but honestly I don’t really wanna leave home. I tried finding jobs in my states small markets, not the major city markets but they weren’t hiring. So currently I’m back in university to study something else. But that job was a dream come true. If you have any questions about the experience message me.

Oh my bad but they could still move though. And quick observation a little of topic I feel like all Univision stations are all in office buildings. Not standalone buildings.

Lowkey starting to think and I talked about this in a Reddit forum but I got my first tv job when I was in college and I dropped out. I’m starting to think you don’t need a degree for journalism or at least you don’t have to study it, some of the best journalist didn’t even study it they studied another genre than went into journalism. For example Tom Brokaw studied political science not journalism, I’m not saying going to school for journalism is important I’m not saying that but obviously people have back doored their way into TV News. Another example people have back doored there way into tv weather apparently you can get a metrology certificate (which is a degree without the Gen Eds) from Miss State and do the AMS exam and become a metrologist I’d didn’t know that I thought you had to get the 4 year degree. Even Al Roker didn’t go to school for metrology he majored in communications to be a journalist, he in a way back doored his way to weather. Again not saying j-school isn’t important that of course that’s traditional way but some journalist I’ve watched didn’t take that route.

Maybe WXTV will move to NYC from there Patterson, New Jersey studios.

Ahh gotcha it funny because when that 2019 blackout happened, WNBC used then WNJUs building to do the 11pm show that night. If there a blackout next time both stations in the word of Gen Z would be cooked. I’m sure in that NJ bureau the studio is gonna be taken out so no broadcast capabilities I hope they planned this well for screwed up scenarios. I have more scenarios in the tube but I digress.

You know I never cared that he was Cuban, I cared that he was good.

I remembered when he did the show from Durham NC my mom was there a took a picture of him. They did the show by the Durham Bulls Athletic Park. He also did a broadcast from Fayetteville he even anchored a special report from there. Tom Llamas cannot compare to Holt although great, he will have to craft his own style and battle David Muir in the ratings. Lester was able to be strong second to ABC can Llamas stay the way in being a strong second or be a distant second, ofc they’ll never be in third place. But they sure could be a distant second.

Much better than the horseshit of the last package.
