OMG...the new TV5 promo..
The new TV5, WNEM promo looks like a NCIS commercial...
I think it’s terrible.

Re: OMG...the new TV5 promo..
I initially wondered WTF you were talking about.
But I just saw it at the beginning of the halftime of the Super Bowl.
A “Count on me” song in the background as all their anchors turn / swivel like the beginning of some whacky TV show intro. What the hell is this trying to say?
Completely embarrassing and horrible. Whoever green lighted this horrible promo should change jobs as they aren’t suited for TV broadcasting

Re: OMG...the new TV5 promo..
Oddly enough, I liked it.
I can’t remember ever noticing a news commercial, let alone one during a Super Bowl. Good or bad it did its job because we are talking about it.
Re: OMG...the new TV5 promo..
You can't blame Mike Terry on this one. Does anyone know what this was promoting? Custer did demand to be the last one featured, so now he loves it. Unfortunately, there will be more like this coming from Phoenix. It does easily hide how sub-par the newscast has become. Sports is still considered expendable.
Re: OMG...the new TV5 promo..
Not surprising that this apparent egotistical narcissist demanded this. When is Custer’s contract up? Sure hope the soon to be new owners get rid of himJRBlitz wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 1:56 am You can't blame Mike Terry on this one. Does anyone know what this was promoting?

Re: OMG...the new TV5 promo..
And now they’re using brief snippets of this new promo I.e. Meg McLeod, weeknights on TV5 for their top of the hour station ID.
It feels like a sci-fi movie promo. Really creepy

Re: OMG...the new TV5 promo..
I may be wrong but I believe this is a Meredith Broadcasting corporate package rolled out across all of their holdings. KPHO-Phoenix unveiled an odd, to say the least, news promo piece during Super Bowl as well. What y'all are seeing sounds a lot like what we were been subjected to as well. Artsy & Creepy all at once.Firstandlastpost wrote: ↑Sun Feb 07, 2021 6:00 pm The new TV5, WNEM promo looks like a NCIS commercial...

Ya, I figured it was a Meredith thing. It still really bugs me to no end.Lester The Nightfly wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 9:54 pmI may be wrong but I believe this is a Meredith Broadcasting corporate package rolled out across all of their holdings.

I have sent an email to both WNEM and Meredith.
I don’t expect a reply. WNEM never answers my emails...

Re: OMG...the new TV5 promo..
I saw one of those promos on FTVLive a few hours ago that was money wasted by Meredith when they have been laying off 200+ nationwide surprised it never came to WNEM in Flint.
Go Pistons, Let's Go Redwings.
Re: OMG...the new TV5 promo..
A glimpse of the WNEM anchors!!
Re: OMG...the new TV5 promo..
Any links to view it? Or will it just fade?

But they may have filed a PPO.
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.
