Live, Laugh, Love

Someone sent this the other day, it’s an email note from Angela Rae sent the WFOR newsroom.

I want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year.  I will not see most of you after the new year, so I wanted to take this
opportunity to wish you the best year ever.

When I was a little girl, I spent 25cents on a ring from a bubblegum machine. The ring said, LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE!  It’s the best piece of jewelry I’ve ever owned and it began my lifelong love affair with all things sparkly.  That aside, I want you all to do those three things to the max, as will I.

If I can ever do anything for any of you, please don’t hesitate to call!

God bless you all and pray for world peace.

Warmest Regards,
Angela Rae

CNN Replaces Carol Lin with Rick Sanchez

Former WSVN-er Rick Sanchez has been named the new prime-time weekend anchor for CNN Newsroom.

Carbon Copy of WSVN Debuts in Boston

Boston’s 7News At 10 on CW56 debuted last night and all indicators point that it’s a carbon copy of WSVN. Graphics, music, pace and content are all derived from WHDH’s South Florida sibling.

The newscast is anchored by Frances Rivera and WPLG alum Matt Lorch.

One thing I thought was interesting is what Ed Ansin said when asked about the new newscast

The industry is changing very rapidly … and situation we have is to either progress or slip behind so this is a big step to us…

Makes sense, especially with NBC offering prime time shows online for free or fee on iTunes, VOD, and probably bittorent, wireless and who knows where else.

Remains to be seen whether Boston is ready for it’s own version of WSVN though!

The link below has a video from WHDH’s newscast giving viewers a preview

Another NBC6-er Let Go

NEW EMAIL ADDRESS!

For a while now the blog’s email account has been getting 300-500 spams a day and it’s becoming increasingly hard to sort the legit from the crap so I changed the email address and will re-route the old one to bounce all received messages within the next several weeks.

To those of you using the contact form nothing’s changed as far as that’s concerned, it’s all stuff on the back end so you are not affected. I’ll continue to get anything you send that way.

For those of you who have the direct email address you can:

  • drop me a note via the contact form

or

  • just add the letter N to the end of the old email address username
