MorningNews 1448 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 It would be an asinine move to ditch Lester just because NBC is #2. They’re still winning where it counts. The thought of replacing talent to cure these shows problems is also stupid because to me the shows don’t give a compelling reason to tune in anymore. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13855-nbc-nightly-news/page/15/#findComment-214868 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgie56 3303 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Don't believe in Breitbart. They're not legitimate. Unless if you had facts from Nielsen or read reports from TVNewser to back it up, then don't believe in that. It’s very credible according to a certain shark. 4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13855-nbc-nightly-news/page/15/#findComment-214869 Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5575 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 CBS replacing Scott Pelley with Jeff Glor is a prime example as to why replacing Holt would be a bad move. Outside of bringing back Williams, there really isn't anyone that would be a compelling draw. 7 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13855-nbc-nightly-news/page/15/#findComment-214871 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Red 104 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) If NBC were to replace Letster any thoughts on who they would replace him with? It would be an asinine move to ditch Lester just because NBC is #2. They’re still winning where it counts. The thought of replacing talent to cure these shows problems is also stupid because to me the shows don’t give a compelling reason to tune in anymore. CBS replacing Scott Pelley with Jeff Glor is a prime example as to why replacing Holt would be a bad move. Outside of bringing back Williams, there really isn't anyone that would be a compelling draw. I does not matter who replaces Lester because the problem is the product sucks. Fix the process, and the execution of the actual newscast and it's contents. Stop producing crap aimed at 6th graders. Lester is the most stable force at NBC right now. Lester is respected not just for his work ethic but because he is not fool of himself and he is very professional. A majority of viewers in this country don't like a lot of news talent but Lester is still respected by a lot of people which is saying a lot. To me I think Lester would benefit on a versatile platform. I think evening news is very limiting and in my opinion what is killing evening news is commericals and watered down content. PBS Evening News is way superior news product and with no commericals they can inform the audience more in 30 minutes then commerical evening news. Cause news right now is not dependent on talent anymore. Mainstream news is in the gutter, and just a repeat of same old stories which insults your intelligence. Unless you are a partisan commentator, people don't care about news anchors anymore. Nobody cares about larger then life news anchors or hosts anymore. Lester is not the problem. To me he is only doing what he is told. An insider told me that after Brian Williams scandal, Andrew Lack is putting a tight leash on the evening news. NBC News is a bad news organzation and ran by immature management people. They seriously do need to overhaul the evening news content, same old news and people you see on MSNBC with their bias and they are on "netural" evening news is bad optics. I see Hallie Jackson with her Trump bashing on MSNBC and she shows up on evening news trying to act like a netural reporter. It is an insult and really a joke. The content is poor and the same old consumer stories of coffee being bad for you. How many times can you insult your viewers.

When did PBS NewsHour get cut down to a 30-minute program? Lester is not the problem. To me he is only doing what he is told. An insider told me that after Brian Williams scandal, Andrew Lack is putting a tight leash on the evening news. The buck definitely stops with Andy Lack and how he has handled the scandals at NBC News. It may be time for him to go before long.

Robin Red 104 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Congrats to Lester Holt for being the most trusted news anchor in America. I think most viewers already knew he was trustworthy but in the age of ideological hyperpolitics, cat fighting, verbal fights and disillusionment. Lester Holt showed who he is, he is the only anchor who kept his dignity in tact and never resorted to losing who he is as a journalist. I have been saying on this forum for the last year, that Lester is by far NBC's greatest stability force and gem. He is more valuable then most of the hosts on the network. Majority of viewers know this. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/who-are-americas-trusted-tv-news-anchors-poll-1160597 4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13855-nbc-nightly-news/page/15/#findComment-216876 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorningNews 1448 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) Is the NBC election set housed in Studio 1A? If so, the NN made beautiful use of it last night.

Average viewer isn't going to care or probably even realize, but the reflection of the OTS screen on the viewer's left is perpetually stuck on an inverted "NIGHTLY" logo instead of reflecting what the OTS has on it. Makes sense for the shots where the NN logo is what's on the OTS... Design flaw?
