NYNews 54 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Right in the middle of the weather report? That's just ridiculous. Did Linda make a comment about it? I remember during the WB11 era, they would have a spot after the weather leading to break about 106.7 Lite FM sponsoring the weather, that was good. I think this now is just intrusive. The Daily News had a story about this happening at WCBS during sports a while back.

NickMa 0 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I'm surprised the ads didn't have sound. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/5945-animated-ads-in-the-weather-reports/#findComment-55548 Share on other sites More sharing options...
News4LA 0 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 KTLA has the same Astro Boy Ad during our 10 pm weather. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/5945-animated-ads-in-the-weather-reports/#findComment-55557 Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceManNYR 240 Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 My only guess is Linda's screen only shows the weather graphics and that ad was an overlay on top of the WPIX video.

kjohnson 17 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Hasn't turned up at KPLR, that I'm aware of. First chance I get to watch KPLR at noon/seven, I'll let everybody know. We seem to be moving toward making every part of the newscast ad time. I wonder how much KTLA/WPIX is making with this.

IceManNYR 240 Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 For those out of the NYC market, some of the NYC stations have an ad below the 7 Day Forecast for Mega Millions. WNBC's sports report is sponsored by Verizon FiOS, the Verizon logo is on screen for the entire report.

Tyler 151 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 KDKA's sports segments have been sponsored by Comcast for some time now. The logo appears on the L3s and on the sports graphics.

fan of la tv 47 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 During KTLA's traffic reports, they have a McDonald's McCafe logo. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/5945-animated-ads-in-the-weather-reports/#findComment-55591 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe those are cargo pants; and they don't work, either.

Can't remember if it was 4 or 11 I was watching the other night, but during weather they were rotating through a few different sponsor logos.

I know that WTAE shows a Dunkin' Doughnuts logo and a voiceover that says "See What's Brewing" sponsoring traffic reports that airs between weather and traffic.
