mer764KCTV5 148 Posted September 13, 2024 Share Posted September 13, 2024 19 minutes ago, TheRolyPoly said: September 12th, 1994. Good Day Tampa Bay debuted at 8:00 a.m. on WTVT Channel 13. 30 years later, it remains Tampa Bay's most popular morning newscast, even if its six hours long now on weekdays, and has since added weekends on both Saturdays (four hours) and Sundays (three hours). https://www.fox13news.com/video/1515429 September 12th, 1994 is also the same day that its former sister station in Kansas City (WDAF-TV) switched to Fox. 5 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15681-fox-television-stations-general-thread/page/10/#findComment-300253 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericanErrorist 148 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) The FCC has renewed WTXF's license, swatting down Media and Democracy Project's challenge with ease: https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-25-57A1.txt The upside is that the settlement in the Smartmatic case can't be considered because it doesn't rise to the level of a criminal conviction, and even if it did, lying on cable news isn't severe enough to affect broadcast license ownership as per the 1st Amendment. (The FCC refused to due MAD's homework in combing over the WTXF archives for objectionable material.)

Megatron81 256 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 As I thought that WTXF license would be renewed, and that Media & Democracy didn't have a case to begin with and only did this stunt to get attention and get people to donate for the cause. I thought this wasn't going to renew until the new FCC came into power but I was glad that the old FCC renewed it as their final act., And scolded not just MAD but other groups on 60 Minutes and I didn't know that the ABC O&O in Philly also got a complaint as well. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15681-fox-television-stations-general-thread/page/10/#findComment-303023 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will MAD take The FCC to court if they don't get their way on the matter. This is the story on the appeal: https://tvnewscheck.com/regulation/article/media-and-democracy-project-appeals-dismissal-of-fox-broadcast-license-challenge/ Considering Brendan Carr revived three complaints against ABC, CBS and NBC from a right-wing groups masquerading as a neutral arbiter over media coverage that Trump perceived as unfair to him, the Media and Democracy Project’s appeal could make that action look more politically motivated in the end. If the FCC denies MAD’s appeal, despite reviving the other equally fruitless complaints and given Fox’s alignment with the right-wing through Fox News and Fox Business (despite Trump’s complaints about their coverage of the 2020 election results, the same election he still claims was rigged against him), it’d only serve as ammo for claims that Carr is misusing his authority as FCC Chair to target MSM outlets over Trump’s personal grievances against them, especially if punitive actions of some kind were meted out in relation to the other complaints. In fact, MAD claims that the dismissal of its complaint by Carr’s former colleague, Jessica Rosenworcel, on First Amendment grounds was politically motivated, despite none of them being merited. The reasoning behind MAD’s complaint, based on actions by a separate Fox Corporation division, wouldn’t have merited a license revocation, just as the reasoning behind the other complaints wouldn’t merit revocation or other actions (such as denial of license transfers in the Paramount-Skydamce merger, which would be telling and prompt legal action if Carr and the FCC board’s GOP members ultimately do that).

And the aftermath… The station’s outdoor weather set was destroyed, several trees and tree limbs surrounding the building were snapped, and some cars were damaged (including the sunroof of meteorologist T.J. Springer’s car). The building’s roof managed to hold on, but it was partially bent from a couple of its clips, so it was a close call. It could’ve been worse, especially considering a house was completely destroyed farther south in Longwood. (Credit to an unknown user on the Broadcast Plaza Discord for the before and after photos.)

Jase 1042 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 ‘Good Day Seattle’ (Fox13) has a new opening/look.

24994J 5553 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 It's a polarizing look, but I think the Chicago version works better, as there are simply more unique landmarks and imagery to use. Feels a little more fleshed-out. It's no coincidence that WFLD's current boss and morning anchor both came from Seattle. 4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15681-fox-television-stations-general-thread/page/10/#findComment-304384 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if other Fox O&O stations are to get similar morning newscast openings like that of WFLD 32 and KCPQ 13. For WNYW 5, they'd have the Mahattan skyline buildings (like 1WTC, Empire State Building, etc.), the Statue Of Liberty, and the Brooklyn Bridge as local landmarks that'd easily be in their Good Day opening. KTTV 11 would have the Hollywood sign. WTTG 5 would have the U.S. Capitol, Washington Monument, White House, etc. It'll be interesting to see this be rolled out. 2 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15681-fox-television-stations-general-thread/page/10/#findComment-304385 Share on other sites More sharing options...
