Is the "Liquidated Damages" Clause that is showing up in more and more contracts of those that work in TV ...

well, well.... Look who's back.

CW is all set in the D and will reunite with WADL, once Mission (Nexstar) closes with Kevin Adell, Et Al. Mission is not to rely on any $$ from Nexstar and it looks like this deal will be done.....

Man.... Audio on the left rear channel only.... Finally fixed, but they had to go to a black screen with no sound to get the job done. Is this part of their transition to ATSC 3?

[quote=Realist post_id=618623 time=1594735205 user_id=3967] I’ll never forget watching Channel 7’s 5pm report back in the early 90’s when Bill Bonds was interviewing Mother Waddles. She was obviously distracted by someone off camera repeatedly and at one point during the interview yelled out “Get you ...

[quote=IIN4MU post_id=616023 time=1593705723 user_id=2204] Did they dump all of their other brokered programming? Or are there just selected time slots with "Right" programming?

Hmmm... Jon Yingers Showtime..... Has a nice ring.

So, who gets fired for allowing the BIG F on the air, doing last nights 6PM Cast? Approximately 6:02. It could've been edited out with ease. The report was live, the actuality wasn't.

[quote=CK-722 post_id=567223 time=1552864918 user_id=14859] You can hear the WAMM sign off from December, 1965 on the unscoped Jim Taylor Hampton (of later WLS fame) tape of his Stevie Wonder interview. And if you listen, yes, it was actually 70 degrees on that December day. The sign off was at 5:00 ...

I did look at this and they're going to have the same pattern and power. Still a daytimer. The move makes no sense. Landing on WTAM cannot be a good idea. I cannot imagine them not getting some pushback from IHeart on this.
