ProButtonPusher 230 Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 Looks like KRON — and perhaps more Nexstar stations — are venturing into 24/7 news. Which reminded the geek in me of their NewsCenter 4 “24 Hour News — Every Day, Every Hour” days. 4

Sounds more like a revival of BayTV, a joint-venture of KRON and TCI/AT&T (it was shuttered just prior to AT&T Broadband being gobbled up by Comcast). But no one ever did the 24-Hour News format better than CityPulse. Edited January 24, 2019 by Spectrum27

WGME might want to consider doing what we did at KBEX-TV during our last flood. We purchased these nice inflatable news sets from Alibaba.com. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/2015-Popular-Inflatable-Bar-Inflatable-Service_60298572502.html?spm=a2700.7724857.normalList.26.edac7ea1J8fThQ Now we can broadcast live when our area floods. We just get a few cameramen on tire innertubes and LIVEU's...and we can drift along and still broadcast...while keeping dry. The sets also come in festive colors, and you can even order sets with your station branding...order plenty in case a few get punctured or sink.

They're missing a great chance to tap into California's legal growing pot culture... ...eh, growing pot, that's too much of a pun.

They could even retire that tired, out-dated Golden Gate Bridge-inspired "4" in favor of four joints in the shape of a "4." "Tired of the fluff on the other stations? KRON 4 News is BLUNT!"

Nextstar my want to dabble in this...but expect the whole idea to go up in smoke.. That's my 2 cents...or is it a dime bag?... do they still call'em "lids"??? Or is "lids" considered some kind of slur now?. Scott Budman wonders "why"? Edited January 25, 2019 by Eat News Unable to use the words bong and roach as puns 2

This should be fun.

rkolsen 1697 Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 WJZ weekend news got a new co anchor - Max McGee to go with Ava-joye Burnett.
Breaking News 846 Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 On 10/25/2011 at 12:39 AM, PelicanGuy said: WVUE's noon anchor/reporter Liz Reyes will now co-anchor the New Orleans Fox affiliate's 6-9 am weekday show with morning anchor Rob Masson in addition to doing the noon show. Reyes replaces Jennifer Hale, who is now doing sports for the station. Didn't they move John Snell & Nancy Parker to the morning news? Are they being ditched since the sale to Gray?
tyrannical bastard 4083 Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 I thought about where I should be posting this, but with James Ingram's recent passing, I finally put 2 and 2 together in his involvement with the "Give Me 5" promo https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/local-news/cleveland-metro/legendary-r-b-singer-james-ingram-sang-in-promotional-video-for-news-5-in-1995 WEWS claims Carly Simon did vocals...but it is definitely NOT her. I believe it's Andrea McArdle, the then-wife of Edd Kalehoff who was the original Annie in the Broadway musical, and sang lead vocals on Edd's "4 New York" campaign released several years earlier. This was a great promo that had a limited shelf life due to the Browns' being yanked out of the city that year. Not to mention, it was probably expensive. (WJLA had a campaign with Jeffrey Osborne back in the 80s that wasn't renewed due to $$$) 1
