rkolsen 1678 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I wish, but no because the line of scrimmage is an invisible line and only appears in broadcasts of football games. Hasnt stopped commercials from featuring someone lifting the line of scrimmage and putting it farther back Even a grumpy old salt like me thinks that's pretty badass. But if they accidentally fly over an NFL game do they get the line of scrimmage in the shot? Eat just meant that if the helicopters mapping system is so hi tech that it would automatically insert the correct line of scrimmage on screen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.L. Hughes 750 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Same set as before, only with an array of monitors as a backdrop. Yes, and it's unlikely that KFOR will get a new set until the new building is constructed. I should have elaborated that what Wes Milbourne inferred was that preparations were ongoing at the site of the new facility in the lead-up to the start of the main construction process. So it took almost two years to get construction on the new KFOR/KAUT building to even begin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a giant fire trap before too long :-P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since no one got hurt in this incident, they did have a little levity with the thing on Wednesday's edition of KAUT's Rise and Shine, actually playing "We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel at one point during the show.

Bsean 138 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Well, it looks like Ruben Galvan has returned to San Diego and resumed his position at XETV. Saw him reporting from Comic Con this morning. I had also seen marching in the pride parade on Saturday but I didn't think anything of it. Jim Patton and Lynda Martin also marched. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So can we all assume Ruben has completed his "self discovery" tour? What a crock of doo doo. Galvan is lucky as hell XETV is taking him back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of her relatives in California ran into their producers and they were touched with her story and decided to do something about it.

Eat News 4738 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Kimi Evans, formerly of KFMB and XETV just popped up during the 11am news on KNSD. I'm not sure if she is freelancing or is a permanent part of the weather team. Interesting to note that the midday anchors/weather anchor are off the midday show today. She just popped up again on the 5p. She doesn't look as hot on Ch-39....she looks tired....and the dress is not doing her any favors. Bummer.

Well, she's no Dagmar Midcap...That's for sure. IDK, everytime I see her on KNSD, she seems out of place. It's not because I was used to seeing her on 8, but her presentation/personality just doesn't mesh with the dry-ish personalities over at NBC.

TriangleTriadMediaNews 267 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 DCRTV reports that longtime WUSA 9 morning anchor Andrea Roane has been demoted from the morning and noon news, to strictly doing the noon news. As a DC native, this one really pisses me off. I grew up watching her originally on the 6 and 11pm news with Gordon Peterson, later moving to mornings with Mike "Buck" Buchanan, later Mike Walter, and I was so happy to see her again when I came back home for good last spring.
