Milo Yiannopoulos is kind of a token queer on the right. He used to be with Breitbart until he made made some off-color comments about sex under-age. Then everybody cut him loose. With Shepard Smith being your avatar, there's got to be a joke in there somewhere. 12 hours ago, TVLurker said: @Eat News no offense but when Milo appears in a selfie with the news anchor for a far-right news diginet, that's generally a bad sign. From what I've seen of their product, it's not really far right. Of course, I can't get the TV station there on anymore because they have such a crappy signal. Milo was kind of like the Richard Simmons of Breitbart. Just enough of a flamer to be entertaining but not so much to turn people off. Kind of like Elton John in a way, without the talent.

Weeters 1860 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Well, there's a new set in the new studio, and new cameras and a Tricaster too. And actual studio lights. A big improvement. Now maybe they can focus on improving the content of the programming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DENDude 197 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Today at noon eastern they updated graphics & debuted their new studio. It appears bigger, and now they have a glass looking set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeters 1860 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Well, they have the look, but judging by that echo (echo echo echo echo echo) they can't afford acoustical treatments in this "state of the art" studio. Or maybe, they just don't know that there's more to building a TV station than fancy graphics and sets. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMA 135 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I've seen it OTA here in NY and it's honestly a noble effort - I feel like news is a missed opportunity for subchannels (cough cough CBSN New York). Although it's a bit rough around the edges, I think they do a good job and I'd much rather see them succeed rather suffer through another ultracompressed MeTV clone. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TVLurker 178 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 damn... can't believe they couldn't get the symbols right... this really looks like some guy wanting to break into the real news business but doesn't understand that real news is not about sets or anchors but about content and reporting. Newsey > NewsNet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMA 135 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Okay I actually completely take back what I said earlier - I just watched some more of the content and the delivery has somehow gotten worse - anchors tripping over words, headlines with no visual cues to differentiate stories (so basically a 2 minute run on sentence), delayed prompters leading to awkward silences, odd camera zooms. The new set seems nice, but why buy nice monitors for a backdrop when you're going to use a super generic design? I imagine hiring a digital backdrop designer like Lightwell Visualisation or something would probably not be prohibitive. I don't want to call out any specific anchor since they're clearly doing their best and have clearly not been afforded proper training, but the news org needs to equip their people so they're not actively presenting a trainwreck. I understand that it's fundamentally a headline service and isn't going to have field correspondents or substantial analysis, but at this rate watching a puppet lip-sync 1010 WINS would be more valuable to me. I do want to see them succeed and I can think of some ways that they can make their product more valuable while keeping in line with their budget - a model like RTÉ News Now in Ireland, which replays traditional news bulletins alongside raw news feeds, parliamentary sessions, radio show simulcasts etc. is pretty effective.

Eat News 4742 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) The entire channel is "training". The goal right now should be perfecting the format, and newsgathering processes. It's also about the growth. Notice the new digs? Who is paying for that? My guess is that once this gets to a certain size with OTA footholds, then prospective buyers and investors might follow. They don't need to be great yet...they just need to get a little better and better each day. They might not have a lot of viewers yet...but the viewers they DO have, are paying attention very closely. If I was CNN, I would be watching my rear view mirror.
