GoldenShine9 1512 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Today is "Founder's Day of Caring" at the Nexstar stations, and they are promoting it very hard on their social media pages.

cg41386 132 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Most of Nexstar’s stations have the new website layout, only a few don’t have it yet. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12826-nexstaragain/page/54/#findComment-228455 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al-SA-TX 54 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) Has someone already mentioned that Nexstar has switched to Wordpress? Hence the new website layouts. Looks like they're ditching their own CMS. Apparently this has already been discussed. My bad.

padrechuck 25 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 On a large number of Nexstar’s updated websites when you go to the “About Us” tab and click on “Meet the Team”, you can go to the page, but it does not allow you to click on the individual owners and reporters and read their bios.

Also, having the national anthem play every night is trending toward state-controlled media and nationalism.

USA #1 Being Atheists does not automatically make you "objective" in the world of true journalism. It's not some magic inoculation for being TRULY unbiased..

Well Mexican stations (like XETV) would start the "broadcast day" (around 5am or so) by playing the National Anthem. Last I check, Mexico hasn't delved into an autocracy.

susquvalleywgal 517 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I have no trouble with the national anthem being played. It's the motives behind it that I question. "Loyalty to country ALWAYS. Loyalty to government, when it deserves it." – Mark Twain -- Matt P.S. Guess who also does the national anthem … yup, North Korea.

DirtyHarry 727 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) 12 hours ago, ABC 7 Denver said: I'm an atheist I know that being an atheist in some quarters is considered enlightened but the human body is a complicated organism containing specific parts that do specific jobs. Kind of hard to believe that your eyes, ears, nose, circulatory system, digestive system, brain and self-repair properties just kind of happened on their own. I don't know if you realize this, but being an atheist is like saying that if you throw a bunch of sand (glass), some unrefined petroleum (plastic) and chunks of metal ore (copper, gold) at a wall enough times, it would randomly arrange itself into an iPhone, complete with all the computer programming necessary to be an operable device including internal power source. In other words, believing in a creator is much more plausible than believing that pond scum gestating long enough could turn itself into the complicated beings that we all are. God, mother, country, national anthem! It's about time people stopped entertaining Marxist nonsense.

tyrannical bastard 3933 Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 It's good to see station groups bringing this back. It's one of the lost traditions of broadcasting that disappeared when stations began operating 24/7. I'll always remember in the early 90s when WUAB would sign on in the morning (I watched them before school) and how they would go from their test pattern into signing on. Here's their test pattern with their weird hybrid tone they used... 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12826-nexstaragain/page/54/#findComment-231690 Share on other sites More sharing options...
n925tv 143 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Unlike others who seem to hate living in this country, I personally think that playing the national anthem is a welcome sight on television. We should be proud for the freedoms that we have living in the United States of America, and we shouldn't be afraid to show it for a few moments during the broadcast day. I doubt those of you who are opposed to this will even be watching television during the time the anthem plays. We'll see if any other broadcasters follow suit! 5 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12826-nexstaragain/page/54/#findComment-231691 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam MadMan 285 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I'm not gonna lie, it's pretty annoying that we've gotten to the point where our national anthem has become a hot-button political issue. If you like having it played on TV, you're a fascist, and if you don't, you're a communist. There's no pleasing anyone anymore, is there? 13 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12826-nexstaragain/page/54/#findComment-231697 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't like Trump or whatever, that's a valid thought, I think a lot of people don't really like him. But a lot of people here seem to dislike the idea of anything like playing the national anthem, because of whatever reason it might be. I don't think playing the SSB is anywhere near nationalism, and it really bugs me that people think this way, that somehow being proud of where you live is a bad thing. 5 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12826-nexstaragain/page/54/#findComment-231750 Share on other sites More sharing options...
