Is it jsut me, or is the new "First Five Minutes" thing getting annoying? > >

I think they are trying to change their news operation. Especially, with new director and the anchor changes...

 

New graphics would be nice too.

I bet ya they were doing it for ratings. Remember 11 Minutes of Non-Stop News + Forecast FIRST (Eleven on 11)?

WTKR had 11@11 for a while (from the time they switched to Eyewitness News in 1992 until the switch to NewsChannel 3 in 1995). I'm not sure if they had it during the Millennium 3 era, I know they had it during the Ignitor era until 2002, I remember WTKR ran promos for it around 2000. I never understood it at first, I thought they started the late news 11 minutes before 11pm

I actually like the "First 5 Minutes" deal. However I do agree that KTVT needs a graphics makeover.

The "First 5 Minutes" is ridiculous. There entire newscast has become a joke. It's sad to see such a solid newscsast become this new crap that Regent Ducas brought to KTVT.

Speaking of KTVT, I just noticed their website is now combined with TXA21. They've both got one together now, seems very unnecessary.

Don't forget WPXI, they use "11 at 11" too.

wow, the last time i checked, they had their own individual websites. and also, i don't remember the 11 @ 11, but it would work. but, the first 5 minutes would work more for KXAS, since it is NBC 5

Remember the 7/2/95 Network switch for KDFW & KTVT? When Channel 11 became the new CBS affiliate (Then Owner: Gaylord Broadcasting) they added a 6 pm newscast and a 5:30 Sunday newscast, but when they started 11 on 11 or (ELEVEN on 11) Cameron Harper (WPTY) and Midge Hill were the Sunday-Thursday 10pm Anchors and Beth McKay and

Jerry Jenkins were the Friday-Saturday 10pm Anchors. Like I said, it's ELEVEN on 11, not 11 @ 11. And it lasted I think

from 1995-1998. If you referring to 11@11, KSTW Seattle (THEN: CBS) used to have a title called ELEVEN @ 11 and

WYSR (THEN: WIXT) still using the title 11@11.

Yeah, it would work better for KXAS. Not just because of the number, but because it would fit their fast-paced, crime story galore newscast...Sadly what KTVT is becoming.

I remember a couple of years ago WISH-TV had "THE TOP 8 ON 8." Now WRTV has Eleven Minutes of Nonstop News.
