BehindNYNews 143 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Once again NBC Local O&Os are copying ABC O&Os, now introducing its own alarm clock app. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nbc-5-news-today/id706086242?mt=8 I think it is just sad how obviously it is a copy of ABC's. Wow, you can wake up to the NBC personalities, way to be original NBC... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlNYTVRadio 21 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 For now its only Miami, Chicago, and San Diego. I see WTVJ has the theme that is unknown, still, in bad quality though as one of the options to wake up to, and all, like BehindNYNews said, had anchors recorded with good morning messages. The ones not of WTVJ's have good quality recordings, maybe WTVJ doesn't want to reveal their theme? What a rip-off of ABC O&O Alarm Clock Apps.

A3N 996 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I think it's pretty neat. Who cares if it's a rip off of the ABC O&O's alarm clock apps, not every market has an ABC O&O, so this is a nice alternative. Also, KNSD is using L.A. Groove for the wakeup music.

BehindNYNews 143 Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 If I were ABC, I would be a little angry they copied me but flattered because clearly they thought it was a great idea. Also, I don't think this got mentioned but NBC updated the O&O news apps. Its a big improvement and surpasses the CBS Your Day app but I still think the ABC O&O News apps are nicer and more organized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorningNews 1294 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 So unoriginal of NBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABC 7 Denver 1554 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 So unoriginal of NBC. You may forget, but the Director of NBC station operations is the former KGO VP. So this is not a shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, you can wake up to the NBC personalities, way to be original NBC... Hearst does something similar to that now too. Although to be fair, each Hearst station handles the app differently (different music, waking up to the news and weather headlines for that day, etc.).

Guest Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 What is annoying is that you have to leave these apps running (at least you do for the Hearst one) when you go to sleep. Not that it's a big deal... but if you navigate to a late night sext message and forget to reopen the app you won't get the alarm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
