WTVJ Re-brands Newscasts; NBC [Your City]

Published by Alex on 2/17/2010 in Local Media.

It appears as if WTVJ (NBC6) has done some minor re-branding in the past few weeks, in an apparent effort to make the station feel more local to the viewer. Anchors and reporters have started to refer to the station as “NBC Miami” during general newscasts, where as reporters on assignment or from a live-shots refer to the station as “NBC [City filmed/reporting in].” This results in some interesting names for the station, such as “NBC Wilton Manors,” “NBC Davie,” and “NBC Hialeah.” At this point, no logo/voice over re-branding has taken place. Alert reader “Alain/TMBtD” points out that a recent promo refers to the 11 P.M. newscast as “NBC Miami News at 11.” Perhaps this is still in it’s experimental phase.

Dear WTVJ: This is why no-one respects you.

Live Shot-Interrupting Asshole Sues WSVN?

If you watch South Florida local news on a regular basis, you’ve no doubt seen the live shot-interrupting asshole who goes by the name of “Lyrikill.” Well, according to a NewsBlues.com tipster, WSVN is allegedly being sued by the music legend for alleged ”mental distress;” after he claims he was chased by a baseball bat-wielding live truck operator, after screwing up and interrupting a report by Dianne Fernandez. How much is he asking for his severe “mental distress?” A modest 35 thousand dollars. Funny; I always thought you needed brain cells in order to claim “mental distress.”

Check out his MySpace page for multiple videos of him nearly getting his ass kicked by reporters, live-truck operators, and cameramen.

The music superstar… rapper… performer... Errrr, “Lyrikill,”  who prides himself on preforming at local South Florida middle schools, can be seen chasing down and interrupting live shots on your local South Florida station of choice.

Check out one of his forced and free advertisement after the jump.

WTVJ’s New Weather Set…?

Published by James on 2/9/2010 in Local Media.

Last week, NBC6 debuted what appeared to be a somewhat new weather set.  It is unclear as to whether this is a temporary set, or a permanent outdoor set. Calling it their “Weather Patio,” the new set is located outside the NBC6 studios under the columns; with a green screen displaying the weather graphics, shaped like a plasma TV, with palm trees in the background, and the NBC6 Hurricane Hummer off to the left. We will relay further information to you. TIPS?: Click Here.

NBCMiami.com is Homophobic…

Kinda. Damn “Miami Locals” and their close minded views. Though, this isn’t the first time something controversial has been posted on the “Locals Only” websites. Countless times these opinionated websites have shown locals laughing about animal abuse, murders, and reckless driving. The moods feature is a cool idea for a gossip website, not for a “credible” news source.

Edit: I’m aware that NBCMiami.com is not homophobic. Just satire.
