update 12/29 12pm: no HD yet but they keep putting up a loop from the new open on the projector screen. Looks very blue with new font which has been used in recent promos and a little similar to the 1998-2001 tube open.

I’m aware this isn’t about TV, so no need to tell me.
Alvah H. Chapman JR. died yesterday from reported complications of pneumonia. Chapman was the former Miami Herald president/CEO, and was known as one of South Florida’s most influential corporate and civic leaders.
Via CBS4:
“Chapman became the unifying force behind scores of civic endeavors from housing the homeless to sculpting downtown Miami’s contemporary appearance to leading “We Will Rebuild” after Hurricane Andrew caused over $25-billion in destruction to the region in 1992.”
Merry Christmas everyone
So now that the sale is off, and things are looking up for WTVJ, (kind of…) apparently, Mr. DeMarco Morgan himself wants back in. Here’s the scoop. He algedly made a phone call late Tuesday night to the NBC 6 executive producer, and get this… allegedly wants back at WTVJ to host the 6, 7, and 11 PM news. Ha! Now, the contract details allow for trading of on air talent between NBC O&O stations, but i would be shocked if they let him. He bails out when the times are tuff, and then when everything is all better again, he wants back in? I don’t think so. DeMarco, as of now, is scheduled to started at WNBC a few weeks back.
Happy New Year!
Where did the year go? To think about all that has happened in just one year is really amazing. From the election of our new president, to more local issues like the sale of WTVJ (and the cancellation of it) it has truly been an interesting and busy year.
From all of us at SFLTV, have a great, happy, and most importantly, SAFE New Year!
