AJClementeFan69 477 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 So there a breaking story on FTVLIVE.com but it does sounds like he HATES FOX O&O; if you ever read his stories he calls it "The Firm" base of the novel/movie. Not only is he snarky, but at times he out for blood too. http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/8/6/breaking-fox-oo-ep-busted-for-child-porn If you'd look into it more...you'd see it's because of how they've been treating their employees. Everyone is under a gag order...and they've been pushing to bust the unions at the union stations. I personally prefer newsblues over FTVLive. They even give the link to the current DMA rankings from nielsen. FTVLive is regularly out in front of everyone I've found...and for free lol. I cancelled my N/B subscription and never looked back. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/180/#findComment-157078 Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I do wonder if there's an ax to grind with certain companies because he applied for a job, and was turn away. Idk, but you're right about that.

elfuego35 90 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 WTVD is in damage control mode... though no fault of themselves, or of their employees. The suspect in the case that is being described as George Zimmerman 2.0 is the son-in- law of Greg Barnes, their Fayetteville Bureau chief.

I guess Dave Ward didn't have a "lifetime" contract like his former co-worker.

I kinda knew the signs for Fix it and Finish it demised once Antonio Sabato Jr. was at the RNC last month. He himself said he thought he was blackballed because of that. Whether that had to do with the show cancelation, time will tell. I for one kinda like the show.

rkolsen 1684 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Stephen Colbert is reportedly in talks wit CBS' sister network Showtime for an uncensored Election Night special promising some "curse words". Showtime' boss thinks it will happen. Additionally he will be live after two of the three presidential debates on the network. This definitely sounds like an interesting concept - he could combine comedy with reports from CBS News' correspondents. The correspondents could be a little more loose compared to what they'd be on the network - kind of like the discussions MSNBC had with their "road warriors" after midnight or 1AM during the conventions and some elections. I'd also like to see one of the networks do a like Sky News did during the 2015 general election. They showed the control room, correspondents getting ready, how calls are made and many other aspects of a broadcast.

Why not take the whole thing over the cliff. As much as I want to say "bad idea" all I can do is watch. I would hope some sane person in CBS news has said "no"...but who am I fooling? maybe CNN can get Kathy Griffin and Anderson Cooper to do their act on the big night.
