Mrtraveler01 738 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Doesn't really shock me. Sinclair does seem to rely on fear for viewership. Just look at all those Town Halls they have and how they always seem to involve topics that are supposed to generate fear.

Just look at all those Town Halls they have and how they always seem to involve topics that are supposed to generate fear. Consider the audience they trying to appeal to...people who watch FNC and the like eat this stuff up. Surprised they didn't put Sharyl "Obama Hacked Me" Attkisson at the desk...

NEOMatrix 1299 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Forgive me if this was posted before ... but Sinclair ... Terrorism Alert Desk??

Mrtraveler01 738 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Since when did they have the terrorism alert desk? When they decided to use the WJLA news set, have an American flag in the background (because somehow that has something to do with terrorism), and use a WJLA anchor to anchor from the desk. Fear sells. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14233-the-sinclair-ization-thread/page/15/#findComment-139756 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRolyPoly 2447 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Yeah? And? Sorry. Somebody was questioning about that about using a WJLA anchor to use the desk when in fact, they did.

TennTV1983 804 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Okay. This is getting silly. Can we get back on topic without further derailing this thread? Anyway, WTVC in Chattanooga has recently switched to the new web layout. Now I'm just waiting on WZTV to do the same.

But most versions of the new graphics are 4x3 safe. WGXA in Macon is STILL in 4x3...and the sad thing is that Morris-owned WMGT has been in HD for over a year now!
