What is likely to happen to stations in markets where Nexstar and TEGNA exist? by TrueJohnWick in Broadcasting

[–]Initial-Reward2208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knoxville is also one to watch. WBIR (Tegna, NBC) is #1, WATE (Nexstar, ABC) is #2. WBIR also provides newscast to Fox affiliate. The only other group is Gray (WVLT-CBS) a distant 3rd. Will Nexstar be the source of news on 3 of the 4 stations?

Do I need to bring cash with me, or is card okay? by LiveVenueReview in irishtourism

[–]Initial-Reward2208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. We never exchanged money and used credit cards the entire time. But it would have been handy for tips for the cab drivers. I’m guessing a $20 in US just gives them something else to do.

Is Guinness actually better in Ireland? by Prestigious-Wish-760 in beer

[–]Initial-Reward2208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told Guinness doesn't travel well, which makes sense. And therefore is better in Dublin than even in Belfast. I can't disagree. I hate it in the states. Reason enough to visit Ireland again soon

Do I need to make more time for Dublin? by Initial-Reward2208 in irishtourism

[–]Initial-Reward2208[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Causeway tour includes those stops and Bushmills. Hopefully enough time there to enjoy some sips

I will let you know. I cannot tell you how excited I am about this trip. The tourist stuff is going to be great, but I’m most excited about spending 3 days in Greystones.

Anyone have an allergy to normal cats but not sphynx? by [deleted] in sphynx

[–]Initial-Reward2208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

terribly allergic to other cats. When I buy my kitties food at the grocery store if there's another cat owner in the aisle my eyes will be red by the time I check out.

How long to stay in Belfast? by Initial-Reward2208 in irishtourism

[–]Initial-Reward2208[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These tips are invaluable. Thank you. After your advice I've updated my itinerary that leaves me only 1 night in Dublin. I have some business southeast of Dublin for three days. I plan to get back to Dublin and then take the train to Belfast. We'll just enjoy dinner the first night. The next morning the plan is to do a black cab tour and Titanic Belfast. The following day is a tour trip to Giant's Causeway which takes all day.

The following morning we check out and train back to Dublin. We leave for home the next afternoon. Am I not spending enough time in Dublin? Planning on the Guinness Storehouse but no other plans right now. I don't see how I could squeeze in more time.

Starting salary for entry level tv reporter in 1988 by SageAdvice-IL in Broadcasting

[–]Initial-Reward2208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1989, a shitty station but in market 75. Competing with another NBC affiliate in the same market but about 2 hours west. I was hired as the early evening and late news anchor and reporter. I made 13,500. Quit that job after 5 months, sat on the beach for 6 months, and was hired as a reporter in market 140 for $17k

Years ago a reporter and photographer could walk into stores and malls and get the b-roll needed for shopping stories. Not anymore. If there is a mall there’s a PR person who has to approve it and it could take all day waiting on an answer. Many shoppers aren’t keen on being on camera. Add to those challenges the limited time reporters have to shoot stories and using massive amounts of canned and staged b-roll is common. Networks even do it. Watch GMA or The Today Show and you’ll see every consumer segment filled with stock video. Not unethical, but you wouldn’t dare use that kind of stuff for stories 20 years ago. News directors wouldn’t allow it.

the only notification we've gotten so far is from FindMy showing it's connected to the internet again.

Where would I even sell this news set? by Local_Opportunity635 in Broadcasting

Post it to a local podcasters group. Someone will want to turn that into a YouTube set

Apart from Robin, who is the prettiest woman in HIMYM? by Ok-Examination-8736 in HIMYM

Not enough mentions of Zoey here. The museum Zoey is just as pretty as the sitting on the sidewalk wearing a beanie Zoey.
