It wasn’t long ago when Rick Sanchez was pontificating reading (while almost falling trough my TV) news about the latest shooting in Miami.
Then he went on to bigger and better things, at MSNBC, came back to WTVJ as a daytime show host. Left for CNN where he got tasered in the name of journalism, sparred with anti-immigrant loudmouth Tom Tancredo.
Here’s Rick talking economy on CNN.
And he’s super hip. He knows what Twitter is and reads tweets from twitters. Cool!
breaking news this morning on CNN, with a nice bonus
Video from WHDH Gustav coverage going into break.
The live shot of the levee included a train car with the words “I fuck till my dick hurts” sprayed on it and clearly visible right under the lower 3rd graphic.
First off, i know this is old. If you’re ever in Mobile, Alabama, please say hello to theor me! I really can’t get over the fact that they would air this. No matter how slow of a news day it is, this is just not news worthy. Perhaps this is why so many people now-a-days hate local news. Make sure to catch the “Amateur Sketch” at 0:45.
So good, it’s catchy.
Watch out for the bad words
Just don’t watch this at the office on speakers. You’ve been warned
The new NBC6 promo with DeMarco in it is out. You can view it, here. It looks good.
(Sorry about the sound quality..)
Someone has confused Belkys adjusting her mic with … um … something else, like grabing/adjust certain parts of the female body.
But that’s not as striking as the fact that the video as of this writing has gotten over 405,000 views and climbing steadily.
That’s more eyeballs than Channel 7 newscasts get in one day probably.
/thx Brandon/
Jon Stewart takes a look at CNN’s American Morning and their use of songs to introduce stories
WHDH finally fliped the HD switched at Noon today.
This is a pretty good preview of what to expect from WSVN whenever they get around
/hat tip Andy from Boston/
more video, the embeding feature and player have not been officially released so you might have to try and play the video more than once.
Breaking News bump
updated news desk
developing story bump
NBC has a new graphics package that should be disbursed around all NBC-owned stations before teh Olympics. KNTV in San Francisco already has it and someone posted videos on YouTube.
An interesting note, with the new graphics and HD came a re-brand. The station is now known as simply NBC Bay Area and the bug in the lower right displays only NBC. There’s no mention of channel number at all.
Below an open, a bit dizzying me thinks, with former WSVN-er Jessica Aguirre who’s also Louis Aguirre’s sister.
Coming up tease
WTVJ’s Bob Mayer announcing it during South Florida Today along with a look back at WTVJ’s history

Interesting similarities between German ProSieben studios and WSVN’s Newsplex from the 90s. Wonder who inspired who, hm.
Pro Sieben Germany in the 90s
WSVN in the 90s
Pro Sieben (spoof newscast) in the 90s
Get Out While You Still Can…
That seems to be the trend at WTVJ. With the uncertainty of the economy, and the fate of WTVJ, lots of employees and even on air talent are looking to get out of NBC6. The list (that seems to add new names weekly) is as follows:
Carrie Hernandez - Executive Producer - Leaving after Election Day for CNN
Mike Zimmer- Chief Photographer - Gone
Is this a smart move? It’s still hard to say. Lets not forget, the sale still may not go through…
