| Jeff Rossen Has Done it Again! |
Jeff Rossen, who came to WNBC and NBC News from WABC-TV, did a similar report that I criticized from a year ago. Remember that new WABC website and Rossen gave it out a tour of it. Well, he has done it again! This time for WNBC’s new website NBCNewYork.com. The only thing missing was the running around the newsroom, however most of it is the same. I know that the stations try to impress users of their new website but sometimes I think is just really unnecessary but I think they want to show off the website to their viewers. In the 1 minute 30 second segment on the 6 o’clock and 7 o’clock news, the music was there, and the dynamic effects that could be used as a promo! Maybe Rossen read my post and decided to joke around with what I said. Google Image Search his name and my site comes up second.
With this new website, it was about time that NBC decided to leave IBS online platform. I’ve been rumoring that they would leave the platform since April and it was true. This was because of NBC’s efforts to expand its local media online. The new site look and feel looks great and the layout is really user family. The previous of the site was to cluttered and there were so many javascripts on the page that caused the site to slowdown on most computers. And this is just the beginning of a new era at WNBC as they transform into a phase of local television that none have seen before. The new 24 hour news channel with local news will be replacing the Weather Plus channel sometime in December when Weather Plus goes off the air.
