WKYT's Tribute to "Press Your Luck"
MoJoe loves game shows. MoJoe really likes "Press Your Luck."
And apparently, so do the promo-meisters at WKYT, the CBS affiliate in Lexington, Kentucky. They aired a brilliant spot right before and after Sunday's Super Bowl that used the classic CBS quiz show to tout the station's mega doppler radar.

Local Nexstar Stations Get New Mobile Service
It looks like folks on the go who want to keep up with news and information coming from WTVW-Fox 7 will soon have a new way of doing so.
Nexstar Broadcasting Group, which owns WTVW, has signed an agreement with LSN Mobile to provide wireless services to the company's stations, and viewers will be the beneficiaries.
The new services will include apps for iPhones, Blackberries, Droids and probably some others I don't know about yet. Users will be able to get news updates and see videos (on compatible devices) according to TVNewsCheck.
As of now, I've not been able to find a timetable for the debut of the new services, but with the fast pace of today's media environment, I think Nexstar will move quickly to roll this out, especially since many other station groups also have mobile apps, alerts and other offerings.
NOTE: In Indiana, in addition to WTVW, Nexstar also owns WFFT-Fox 55 in Fort Wayne and WTWO-Newschannel 2, the NBC affiliate in Terre Haute. The company also operates WFXW-Fox 38 in Terre Haute through a local marketing agreement.

Good Spot, Bad Headline from WLKY
Big News! It looks like it's actually going to snow 2-4 inches by morning.
Now, that'll make for a good weekend of TV watching, and of course there's the big game on Sunday. So the promo dept. over at WLKY put the two concepts of football and weather coverage together in the spot featured below.
No one could be happier with the forecast than the CBS affiliate.

For Louisville Local TV, Sweeps Still Important
Trust me, the local TV stations are still going to be pulling out their big guns for the TV ratings sweeps this month, but no matter what happens it's not going to mean much to the stations' bottom line.
There are plenty of reasons. First, there's no valid comparisons to last February, when the country's TV viewers were all worked up over the digital transition, and Nielsen put off the ratings period to March.
