WFOR footage on CNN

I’m watching Larry King Live and noticed CNN is using a lot of video from WFOR. I believe Brian Andrews and crew are somewhere around New Orleans.

Video: Post hurricane coverage promos

I have WPLG’s promo. DVR is recording CBS4 right now and I have pre-recorded video from yesterday so expect to see them here soon.

New eyecandy on 7

They just introed a new bump on 7 during the 5:30pm newscast. “Other News” – it’s all blue, with chrome text, a flat background that has a spinning circle behind the text. And it has the new font, same one used in the hurricane graphics, which I suspect will make it into the new graphics package. Looks very nice

WFOR’s Jason Wheeler off till next week


One of the insiders just emailed me to say that CBS4′s Jason Wheeler will be off untill next week. Sand got in one of his eyes and scratched the cornea. Jason was reporting from Deerfield Beach last night neary the beach where the wind was blowing a lot of sand. Using gogles in the future might not be a bad idea.
