Mrtraveler01 739 Posted November 19, 2015 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.
AJClementeFan69 477 Posted November 19, 2015 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. 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 1308 Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Forgive me if this was posted before ... but Sinclair ... Terrorism Alert Desk?? Way to give into fear!! -- Matt Sounds too stuoid for even Fox News to do.
Mrtraveler01 739 Posted November 19, 2015 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.
TheRolyPoly 2660 Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 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. But that is a WJLA anchor... Jonathan Elias who joined the station a few months ago from WBZ-TV.
mardek1995 200 Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Sounds too stuoid for even Fox News to do.Makes me wonder if Julian Smith (Sinclair is his middle name) had any contact with Rupert Murdoch back in the 80s
24994J 5676 Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 But that is a WJLA anchor... Jonathan Elias who joined the station a few months ago from WBZ-TV. Yeah? And?
TheRolyPoly 2660 Posted November 19, 2015 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. 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.
tyrannical bastard 4084 Posted November 19, 2015 Author Posted November 19, 2015 "This terror alert report is brought to you by EZ pawn....with 20 area locations, EZ pawn is your terrorism protection headquarters!"
NEOMatrix 1308 Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Thank God that WPGH dosen't have a news department anymore. Otherwise: "This Terror Alert is brought to you by Giant Eagle, the official supermarket of the War on Terror!"
hathawaynson2 39 Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 "This terror alert is brought to you by Verizon, it's the network! Your source for communication between family members and the war on terror.
Hexagonal10 84 Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 This terror alert is brought to you by AT&T, The fastest connection available to communicate "Things".
William1111 41 Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 This terror alert is sponsored by Ashley Madison, "Life is short, but it's a little too late to have an affair"
Hexagonal10 84 Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 This terror alert is sponsored by Ashley Madison, "Life is short, but it's a little too late to have an affair" This terror alert is brought to you by the Weather Authority, we're forecasting a 90% chance of bombs?
mardek1995 200 Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 This terror alert is brought to you by Fox News Channel in collaboration with Sinclair Broadcast Group.
TennTV1983 811 Posted November 20, 2015 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.
mardek1995 200 Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Okay. This is getting silly. Can we get back on topic without further derailing this thread? And shouldn't it have been on the actual Sinclair thread?
Leavellebrett 85 Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Thank God that WPGH dosen't have a news department anymore. Otherwise: "This Terror Alert is brought to you by Giant Eagle, the official supermarket of the War on Terror!" The voice-over artist would have to pronounce it in the official Western Pennsylvania "Jyan' Iggle" dialect.
LTSC1980 114 Posted November 20, 2015 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. Noted it had different look then others.
mardek1995 200 Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 When are KVAL and KMTR going to get Sinclair-ized?
tyrannical bastard 4084 Posted November 20, 2015 Author Posted November 20, 2015 When are KVAL and KMTR going to get Sinclair-ized? KMTR needs to go at least widescreen first. 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!

LexTVandRadio 418 Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 Almost never happens. 4x3 seems rare anymore.
LexTVandRadio 418 Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 This combo looks good. Old graphics with new ticker.
MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 986 Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Ick... no thank you... Hated the previous graphics...
