The reason for the zzzzzzzzzzzzz repeat and repeat again 7pm cast was supposed to cater to the people who commute from New York and live in 16's coverage area. The problem was, no one ever did their homework to see exactly when these new found viewrs got home at night. 7pm is way too early for these people who don't get over the bridge until 7pm, and don't watch what they call "your boring backwoods news" anyway. They watch New York News. They only have a Bedroom here, their lives, work and hearts will always be with "The Big Apple." So, we are stuck trying to fill another newscast with bullshit no one really cares about anyway. Besides, the daily viewers in our market will never trade Pat and Vanna for Scott and Julie "The Schaffer's." at 7.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21128745.post-63156474257606492962008-03-14T09:19:00.000-04:002008-03-14T09:19:00.000-04:00Carl will have to treat himself to a new 1970's mo...Carl will have to treat himself to a new 1970's mommas boy sweater vest to get over not being chosen to head the news department at 16. He may cry in one of his cats milk bowls for months. Best choice 16 could have made. The man is like a frustrated "Old Maid." He needs to get a life and get out of his house once in a while to learn what is going on in NEPA. Maybe then he would be able to possibly begin to fill the shoes of the famed assistant News Director....Bob Absher. Absher may not have been the greatest people person in the world, but he KNOWS news.

I remember being sent to NYC to do a live shot on the Auto show at the Javitz center, why? because the station had rented the truck to some NY operation and figured if it was going that far why now make use of it.<BR/>Heck I got to sit in a Lamborghini Countach, but I have to say at 6'1" I wouldn't be driving one even it I could afford it.

Magid came up with the "Action News" format with "Action" reporters, live shots, fast paced newscast, cover small community events (usually at the end of the newscast), overuse of the words "now", "tonight" etc, to give it a somewhat false sense of urgency.<BR/><BR/>Anyone in power at WNEP was just following the formula they purchased from the consultants. <BR/><BR/>It worked very well in this market, where the other affiliates were "The Scranton station" and "The Wilkes-Barre station." <BR/><BR/>It's the way it evolved.
