WPTV Got the Renderon Touch

Published by admin on 8/27/2008 in Local Media and graphics.

Some wondered who did WPTV’s new graphics package. It was Renderon.

WPTV’s new boss Steve Wasserman, who headed WDIV in Detroit, also commissioned Renderon for that station’s WDIV’s graphics which are backed by music from WSVN’s Chris Crane.

CW News at 10 to End Soon

Published by Alex on 8/27/2008 in Local Media.

Say goodbye to the CWSFL News at 10. CW didn’t want NBC6 to continue doing their 10pm news, so August 31st will be the last newscast. Ratings sucked anyway but it still beat the “My33 News at 10.” The weekday producer of the CW newscast is a former intern with no other news experience. He is now the 6pm producer for NBC.  The 6pm producer has been moved to the 11am slot. It is still unknown if other people will be moved or laid off since many people work under CW employment deals.

Update: So i looked at my DirectTV guide today. I hope you love Raymond! “Everybody Loves Raymond” is now in the 10PM slot, weeknights on WSFL.

Update: So tonight is the last night.  Catch Joel and the gang, tonight at 10 for the last time on the CW.

Bloggers, and Bloggers, and Bloggers, Oh My!

500 of them at the Democratic convention.

“The 8,000-square-foot “tent” is two stories of reinforced canvas packed with tables, chairs, plugs, screens, wiring, bad lighting, and a critical mass of overstuffed, worn-through comfy couches and pillows. Just beyond the white curtain, you can pick up a smoothie or a 10-minute massage at no charge, courtesy of Google, a Big Tent sponsor. Others sponsors include Digg, EcoDrivingUSA, InterfaceFLOR, Meru Networks, Floorz, Moveon.Org, DemWire, Daily Kos, Progress Now, Alliance for a Sustainable Future, Service Employees International Union, Human Rights Campaign, PickensPlan.com, the Sunlight Foundation, and Alliance for a Sustainable Colorado, to name a few. The restaurant chain Chipotle, another sponsor, is helping to provide 600 free lunches and dinners.

Of the 3,000 bloggers who requested credentials for the Big Tent, 500 were granted. Most are liberal or progressive blogs, but Big Tent organizers said they tried for diversity: The conservative Heritage Foundation in Washington was offered two credentials for bloggers, for instance, but took only one.”

 

I’d like 10-minute massages courtesy of Google! All we get from them is adds to put up. :-(

No Bogert For You!

Published by Alex on 8/25/2008 in Local Media.

If you’re a Republican, you are now officially allowed to speculate about NBC6′s political coverage.  As many of you know, WTVJ is only sending political reporter Nick Bogert to the Democratic convention.  NBC6 will just use the network reporters at the Republican convention.

 The NBC6 news director, who is a well known supporter of Barack Obama said “the real show is in Denver.” Is it right for NBC6 to not equally cover each parties?.. or is this just simple budgeting and NBC not wanting to spend the money to fly Bogert around? You decide.
