dman748 1256 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Here's a small TV note: Lilly/SJL's WICU and WSEE in Erie, PA since having produced a joint newscast have also began ID'ing on-air both as simply "WICU" and "WSEE" with no channel number, at least like at the end of syndicated promos and common stuff. So are they consolidating two newscasts into one or what exactly are they doing?

Guest Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 So are they consolidating two newscasts into one or what exactly are they doing? They already have under "Erie News NOW" Hasn’t WSEE always branded by their call letters though? A god awful CBS eye logo with italicized SEE over the eye comes to mind. 5 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/324/#findComment-215864 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 11 pm experiment was awful.

ChesapeakeTV 311 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Not a huge surprise. Having paid semi-regular attention to The Late Feed since coming here, the article isn't kidding about him getting pushed out recently in favor of Ron Jones...

Brain 81 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Hasn’t WSEE always branded by their call letters though? A god awful CBS eye logo with italicized SEE over the eye comes to mind. The logos for both stations are now the generic NBC and CBS logos with the plain call letters next to it. Even more bland and worse than it was before.

ColtFromGulfcoast 708 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 It was reported on TVNT and another news website that KSLA got rid of their Sunday morning newscasts. That's not true because I watched recently and they had it on. Just making sure y'all know.

CircleSeven 1955 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Big news out of Michiana tonight. Longtime WNDU anchor Maureen McFadden announced that she'll be retiring from the station early next year after nearly four decades. Don't think we'll ever see another "sibling" anchor pair ever again. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/324/#findComment-216288 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other employees reportedly told police it wasn’t the first time they’d seen Howe masturbate at the bar, according to the report. "Ewwwwww!"

Yep. There wasn't much of a cash grab as commercial breaks consisted of in-house promos and PSAs. Plus it was an eyesore to watch in 16:9 480i.

It was supposed to be temporary for a 2017 election but ended up staying permanently.
