Eat News 4745 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 And speaking of news choppers, why doesn't Fox 7 over in Austin or even KVUE have one? Because they just attach a Gopro to a Mosquito to save money. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/162/#findComment-150525 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasTVNews 1377 Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 IIRC, KTBC and KVUE used to have a news chopper in the mid-late 80s, while KXAN and KEYE had their news chopper in the mid 90s. KXAN was the last station to shelved the news chopper in late 2005 or 2006. http://tvradio.blog.austin360.com/2015/01/08/tbt-austins-news-chopper-war/ Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/162/#findComment-150533 Share on other sites More sharing options...

djlynch 56 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Does anyone actually know what the largest market is with no choppers? I have this suspicion that it's not Austin (#39), but I couldn't tell you which of the ones in the upper 20s or 30s it is.

tyrannical bastard 3948 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Kelly Jones is leaving WPMI Local 15 in September when her contract is up. They're also adding a lifestyle show called "Gulf Coast Today" and hired a new host, Terra Reeves. http://lagniappemobile.com/jones-decides-make-change-september/ I'm curious to see where this new lifestyle show will end up. They would have to either cancel or cut back some news programming to pull this off if Sinclair is producing the show. Their JSA forced them to cancel their 4:30AM news last year since it put the station over 15 percent of Sinclair-fed programming.

TheRolyPoly 2410 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 From the anchor himeself, Gabriel Sotelo / @gabosotelo05 on Instagram: "So los dias que faltan para la Copa Confederaciones mi estimado @itsroly. Que tengas excelente tarde!" Translation: "They are the days remaining for the Confederations Cup my estimate @itsroly. You have a great afternoon!"

Rodney Ho has been off with his stories lately. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/lisa-rayam-says-shes-leaving-waga-sad-about-earlier-reports/169737 Looks like Fox 5 is really starting to make way for the arrival of Stephany Fisher (after being unemployed for almost a year)! Could their loss be 11 Alive's gain, or will Lisa take the Monica Pearson route and try her hand at radio (hopefully public station WABE)? By the way...Lisa's imminent departure doesn't mean I'm heading to WSB; with the exception of Craig Lucie, former Fox 5er Richard Belcher, Brad Nitz, and cutie pie Jodie Fleischer, they annoy the shit out of me (especially Justin Farmer; he's Charles Fedullo -- Fairbanks and Anchorage news anchor turned journalism professor turned PR guy -- from 20 years ago)! 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/162/#findComment-150738 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkolsen 1684 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 WRC/NBC Washington is launching 4 Respondes where you call a hotline, leave a message or speak with someone and they'll do their best to get answers for you. Seems to be model on the Telemundo Respondes initiative. The b-roll video they showed a large call center with NBC Consumer Investigative Center with their consumer anchor sitting at a desk with a crappy NBC 4 logo as the desktop. If I had to guess the calls go to some national call center (the b-roll showed what looked like new office) that was set up to handle these issues. I wonder how they'll handle Comcast problems? http://www.nbcwashington.com/investigations/NBC4-Responds-377669201.html Edit: Same exact offices at WNBC. http://www.nbcnewyork.com/on-air/as-seen-on/Better-Get-Baquero-launches-a-Consumer-Investigative-Center_New-York-368883891.html 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/162/#findComment-150809 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got better customer service talking to my cat than anyone from Comcast. We now have FIOS and I couldn't be happier with what they offer us.
