rkolsen 1684 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Out of curiosity could a station that subscribes to a service such as the AP or CNN Newsource have content embargoed in other markets? Say could a Sinclair station that put content up on CNN Newsource have their content embargoed in other markets that Sinclair stations operate. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/258/#findComment-188923 Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Block 1566 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Out of curiosity could a station that subscribes to a service such as the AP or CNN Newsource have content embargoed in other markets? Say could a Sinclair station that put content up on CNN Newsource have their content embargoed in other markets that Sinclair stations operate. I don't believe CNN gives stations that power to embargo something in another market just because their parent company owns another station there. I don't think I've ever seen that happen. Typically, something is only embargoed for other stations in the same market or if it includes video that's restricted for one reason or another. In one place where I worked, our sister station one market over threw a big stink at us because one of their competitors (a Sinclair station) ran one of our packages that CNN picked up. The reporter had a stand-up in it while wearing our jacket and mic flag with a logo that's nearly identical to our sister station's. They somehow thought there was something wrong going on, but since it's two different markets, there wasn't any embargo on it, so it was fine for the Sinclair station to run it even though our sister station had access to all of our content internally. Probably a dumb move on the Sinclair station's part to run a package that looked like it came from their competitor, but whatever. Or at the very least, they could have edited out her standup. That's the double-edged sword with being a CNN affiliate. It's great because Newsource has tons of video, including lots of packages, but if there's more than one CNN affiliate in a market, then competing newscasts can end up running a lot of the same content if you're not careful or get in the habit of only checking CNN for wire content. 4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/258/#findComment-188926 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conrad 113 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 It looks like Newsy is finally on cable. As I mentioned in the chatboxes, it showed up on Cox Gainesville on Channel 276. It's the same channel seen online and on Cincinnati Bell. It's displayed as Newsy___SD, even though its shown in Widescreen. I feel like I just got Headline News all over again! Newsy is owned by Scripps. Comcast also now carries Newsy. FUN FACT: Scripps used to own cable systems until Comcast bought them out in 1995. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/258/#findComment-188941 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkolsen 1684 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 You know I was wondering what NBC would do when one of their vertical monitors fails. Well KNBC’s solution is to put put up a pop up sign that’s used at convention. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/258/#findComment-188956 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkolsen 1684 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 That looks even shittier than I expected. You would think they’d have something made up in the measurements of the open screen? Surely after spending about $20k+ per screen they could afford buying a back up cut out. How much could that cost at Kinkos or I bet they could get it done quicker as they are on the lot which has a print shop. I would have thought some of the plasmas like at WMAQ would have burnt out first. But I guess since it was new technology. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/258/#findComment-188960 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure if it worked during the afternoon / early newscasts. I almost think this may have been a video wall server issue. I seem to remember now that during AM instagrams the Middle Wall has had alignment issues - where about the top quarter of the screen appeared black or was on the bottom on the screen. That or they had a spare handy and was installed quickly. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/258/#findComment-188988 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkolsen 1684 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Rather than bumping an old thread regarding Telemundo 20 I’m San Diego or I thought I would ask my question here and maybe @Eat News or @A3N could answer. Does KNSD/ NBC 7 provide traffic and weather updates during the local avails during [I]Un Nuevo Día[/I]? I know their station breaks are different from the [I]Today Show[/I] ones. I ask because Telemundo 20 plugged NBC 7’s morning newscast. My Spanish is rusty and couldn’t keep up with what they are saying. There was a video on Vimeo that was a promo for NBC 7 in Spanish but I can’t find it now. On the same topic WCAU do the same for WWSI (maybe @HulkieD could answer)? How much would it cost to say translate an hour of news from NBC 7 to air right before [I]Un Nuevo Dia[/I]? Also why would KNSD have this video from KFMB on their Vimeo website: [MEDIA=vimeo]241061383[/MEDIA] Thanks in advance if you guys are able to find anything out?

In regards to that KFMB video, my guess is that was supposed to be an internal video. An aircheck of the rival station for marketing purposes, perhaps? Either, someone messed up.

rkolsen 1684 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 So it looks like WRC/NBC Washington is playing up a feud between Adam Tuss and David Culver. They both are young (and well David looks fresh out of college) and people mistake them for one another. Anyways tomorrow they will both be anchoring the morning show (normally one does Saturday and the other Sunday). Here’s a preview video: [MEDIA=instagram]Bb65kuYhRKN[/MEDIA] Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/258/#findComment-189726 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Country News 435 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 WLLZ has a local news product now, however small. A 90 second update airs during the first ad break of each hour every weekday from 6PM - 10PM. The update is produced by recent sister station WMNN, with mostly different graphics and a different music package. Stephen Arnold's Elevation has been resurrected.
