ns8401 846 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I agree that public perception might dip, perhaps reflected in the ratings, and a few hundred might leave, cold turkey, but the notion being perpetuated by some on and off this board that they're going to fall like a rock is utterly ridiculous. Well yeah that's crazy... even I didn't mean that... I just meant that virtually always there is some minor dip at least when a long-time face vanishes suddenly. I think it looks worse when the talent disappers and they release a new open without him the following Monday. Did anyone even so much as mention it on the air?

Hell no, and there wasn't the sad mood overwhelming any broadcast like when Sylvia was fired. That, I think, hit a lot harder. I do find it hilarious that some people go on the internet to ask on the Facebook pages where someone is (in this case, Mike), yet can't be bothered to do a Google search to find out for themselves, because you know darn well the station won't respond. It's like those people are nosy enough to ask, but don't care enough/are too lazy/are too stupid to find out from other sources. I'm going to stop now, because I've come across as a little smarmy lately, and don't want to offend too many people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because a good general rule a friend once told me usually rings true: People are, indeed, stupid. I hadn't noticed any smarmyness or anything... you really shouldn't be worried about offending people either but that's just my 2 cents. I think everybody has been pretty well behaved around here lately (well really always) so I think the discussions we have been having about this and other stuff have been pretty constructive.

24994J 5276 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 It is kind of amusing how like EVERY promo has to be heavily altered or eliminated because of one person...including the one I was in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5276 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 I'm in the promo for when they hit a million on Facebook. I'm in front of Alan, Alan's in front of Linda, and Linda's in front of Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5276 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 We're in business. I'll get the 10 o'clock rejoin up sometime tomorrow in between snacks while a foot of snow gets dumped on us. [yt]qNCJHP6OExU[/yt] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BehindNYNews 143 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I never noticed the bobble head until now but that is really bad. Like that needs to be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ns8401 846 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Looks really good 'J, this is off the OTA right? That bobble head is somewhat amusing but it definitely needs to vamoose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5276 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Yeah, it's over the air. You can always tell the OTA videos versus the ones recorded off the online stream, the latter are louder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotcha, I see it stayed HD for you, mine downgrade to 480p upon conversion. If you get time i'd be interested to know how you edit them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbs2worksforyou 35 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 For everyone talking about bobble head Ravi, I don't the open with Linda Yu who looks like she is talking and has Her mouth open.

ChiCubsFan 33 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 In the old 11am opening, Sylvia and Linda both look like they're saying "Hi" and Tracy saying "That's Bullshit" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5276 Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 I second that, but if I didn't know any better, I'd say his hinges are little tighter in the 10 open (which will be forthcoming). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
