Something it has in common with Program is how overtly it's willing to bend its own rules, like how Program has those completely different lowercase "w" forms
Zuzana Licko seems to have quite a feel for when to go off the script
Is Leming's script here like the one he wrote for Local Gothic?
What are your issues with them?
Which edition is that?
I really don't buy that Weatherman Bob Iger is Finally Hanging It Up This Time
"Guy" who liked MLP, now nonbinary femme who likes MLP
It's really impressive just how strong ESPN's ability to define reality is
RIP Typophile
I'm thinking now of Local Gothic, which uses a unique OpenType script to randomize glyphs from any of four sets that were baked into it
The same number of Hanukkahs as Doug had movies!
They are both Toei shows after all
I think Tropical-Rouge!'s director was a One Piece alum?
Cool!
I dunno, Obviously and Degular really get around and I don't remember them having a scandal
The one and only upside I can think of to the agreement for Netflix to buy Warner Bros., and along with it, HBO and HBO Max, is that I hope Jeff Bewkes is thinking about his "Albanian army" remarks a lot today
@artofcoop.bsky.social How does it feel seeing Typography of Coop out in the world?
Here's hoping the Ellisons can't buy Scooby-Doo (or Astro)
As somebody who still uses a laptop, I will admit that boggles my mind
Sounds like Hollywood's mad dash to emulate Netflix
They licensed shows and movies to Netflix, people canceled cable en masse and replaced it with Netflix, hurting the cable channels that buttered Hollywood's bread, so they decide to just hasten the decline themselves with their own streamers
They did have the iPod Touch as a sort of transitional step to the iPhone
The DuMont network
Growing up seeing how hard we shifted after 9/11 and the obsession with "terror" and seeing Iraq basically destroyed in real time for no reason on the evening news really left an impression on me
My mind boggles at people forgetting all that
Their sister station in Denver wasn't doing that
I really wonder what caused KRBK to decide that blocking the scoreboard was a good idea...
His last special before he died seemed to be an effort to return to "funny because it's true" humor
I don't think Life is Worth Losing (the one before it) even really qualifies as comedy, it was just depressing as shit
if Ichika turned into a bunny then what the hell is Bibury?
Rusty knows all these things but a lot of folks don't!
Many historic VHF stations could keep their primo numbers as virtual channels while really transmitting from now-stronger UHF frequencies
Making them key components of Sinclair and Nexstar's intensified consolidation efforts, helping to give them their outsized role within ABC as a network
The transition to ATSC 1.0 favored UHF signals over VHF signals, a new reality not reflected by the outdated UHF discount
Realizing the massive loophole that had been opened, station groups went on a buying spree, as the limit to 39% of TV households had effectively been doubled
The UHF discount in particular is key: a relic of the analog era when UHF stations had weaker signals than VHF ones, the FCC only counted them for half the household reach of a VHF station, important for the cap that limits how many households a station group can legally reach
And it's worth noting that Sinclair and Nexstar as we know them (or Nexstar at all) do not exist without decades of deregulation
They could not function as they do without the Telecommunications Act of 1996, or if the FCC had gotten around to repealing the UHF discount in 2009
All of these things provided the gunpowder for Nexstar to ignite
