The "two" in KPRC-TV's current logo is vertically parallelogrammed and similar to former logos used by KCBS-TV in Los Angeles (1994) and WMAR-TV in Baltimore (1998) but with the CBS and ABC logos (respectively) in place of the NBC one neither logo uses the Texas star. Since October 1994, KPRC-TV has used the familiar " Lone Star 2" logo, which was modified in 2004 for HD. The new studios were dedicated in April 2016, and the previous 45-year-old studios were demolished. While the old studio was 90,000 square feet (8,361 m 2), the new studio would have only 65,000 square feet (6,039 m 2). In December 2015, KPRC-TV broke ground on a new studio, behind the old studio in the employee parking lot, on the same Sharpstown site. In January 2015, KPRC-TV dropped the "Local" and began simply calling itself "Channel 2". (The Houston Post was then bought by the Hearst Corporation and absorbed into its Houston Chronicle, with the last edition printed on April 18, 1995.) In 2004, KPRC-TV was rebranded "Local 2". (KPRC-FM was sold in 1958.) After 40 years under Hobby family ownership, KPRC-TV was sold to The Washington Post Company on Apan attempt to sell the station to Young Broadcasting in 1992 was unsuccessful. In 1983, the Hobbys sold the Houston Post to MediaNews Group, while the family's broadcast holdings were reorganized as H&C Communications, with KPRC-AM-TV remaining as the flagship stations. The building housed three studios which were suspended from the ground to reduce vibration, and when viewed from space via satellite map, the building resembled a film camera. Built on property originally lent to Houston Baptist University, KPRC-TV chose the site to build its new facilities in large part due to its location on the feeder road of the Southwest Freeway. In March 1972, KPRC-TV moved into a new state-of-the-art studio facility in the Sharpstown area (then part of unincorporated Harris County) where it operated from for 45 years. Over the years, the Hobby family bought several other television stations, including KVOA-TV in Tucson, KCCI in Des Moines, WTVF in Nashville, WESH in Orlando, and KSAT-TV in San Antonio. The station became the source of controversy after some television viewers in the United Kingdom claimed to receive its signal on September 14, 1953, three years after the original signal was transmitted. The studio building was along the street frontage, while the KPRC radio transmitter site was in the rear of the lot. In March 1953, the station operated its first permanent studio located on 3014 Post Oak Road, which later became the Lakes on Post Oak near the Galleria shopping complex in Uptown Houston. KPRC-TV's original " Lone Star 2" logo, used from late 1994 to 2004: The current logo (shown in the infobox) is very similar to the original, but is enhanced for HD. Because of its affiliation with NBC, KPRC-TV was the first station in Houston to broadcast a program in color and was subsequently the first to broadcast its entire schedule in color. DuMont ceased operations in 1956, though it was briefly affiliated with now-defunct KNUZ-TV (channel 39, frequency now occupied by KIAH). CBS moved its affiliation to KGUL-TV (channel 11, now KHOU) in 1953 and KTRK-TV (channel 13) took over the ABC affiliation when it signed on one year later. Due to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)-imposed freeze on new station licenses, channel 2 remained the only television station in Houston for four more years. Although it appears that the call letters stand for "Post Radio Company," they actually stand for "K(C)otton Port Rail Center," a nod to Houston's role in the cotton trade.Īfter the Hobbys took over, channel 2 became a primary NBC affiliate due to KPRC radio's longstanding affiliation with the NBC Red Network. The Hobby Family took control on June 1, 1950, and changed the television station's call sign to match its radio stations on July 3, 1950. After a year of difficulty, Lee sold the station to the Hobby family, owners of the Houston Post and Houston's oldest radio station, KPRC (950 AM) and KPRC-FM (99.7, now KODA at 99.1). Albert Lee and carried programming from all four networks of the day - NBC, CBS, ABC, and DuMont. It was Houston's first television station and the second one to sign on in Texas, three months behind Fort Worth station WBAP-TV (now KXAS-TV) and over eight months ahead of Dallas station KBTV (now WFAA). The station first signed on the air on January 1, 1949, as KLEE-TV. Houston is the second-largest television market (after WXIA-TV in Atlanta) where the NBC station is not owned and operated by the network. Its studios are located on Southwest Freeway ( I-69/ US 59) in the Southwest Management District (formerly Greater Sharpstown), and its transmitter is located near Missouri City, in unincorporated northeastern Fort Bend County. KPRC-TV (channel 2) is a television station in Houston, Texas, United States, affiliated with NBC and owned by Graham Media Group.

The news is generally good because, as the article says, it can increase the use of this technology on the Internet, however, I’m a little skeptical about its final appearance in Chrome (not as an experiment): I’ve been using it for years: at the moment it’s the best way to keep up-to-date on topics and sites you’re interested in, and it saves you time (if a site supports RSS). > Now You: do you use RSS? What is your take on Google’s plan? Neither email newsletters nor notifications support this. RSS is still one of the best options, in my opinion the best, when it comes to keeping an eye on the publications of a large number of sites on the Internet. Introducing RSS to a wider audience, albeit without all the technicalities, is something that could give the technology a boost. Since it is bare bones, it seems likely that Google will add basic unsubscribe options but no advanced features such as support for importing or exporting a list of feeds (OPML is the standard for that).

Whilst some have suggested that the song may be inspired by the video-sharing social networking service TikTok, Jack Patterson has denied this in an interview with the Metro, and reiterated that the song is about "an obsessive relationship". I found being in nature makes you see the bigger picture again." "We wrote it just before the pandemic and I was feeling a little obsessed with a guy – you know that annoying thing where you don't wanna be obsessed but you are? And if I find myself in that situation I do something I love and something which makes me feel satisfied in another way. Ĭhatto explained in another interview with the Daily Star that the song is about being "obsessed" with a guy. Grace Chatto said that the group did not meet 24kGoldn in person, as he was in Los Angeles at the time, and they did everything remotely, including the filming of his part in the music video. "And even making the video when it was still lockdown situation, and working in that environment was quite crazy." He also praised both collaborators on the song, saying that they have been "so nice to work with and just made it super easy". "It's been a mad process finishing it during this time," said Jack Patterson. In a Zoom interview with ITN, the group revealed that they had started writing the song in November 2019, and that the song was finished just before the lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The song is also included as a bonus track on digital and streaming versions of Mabel's debut studio album, High Expectations. It was released by Atlantic Records UK on 21 August 2020 as the first single from Clean Bandit's upcoming third studio album. It was written by Mabel, 24kGoldn, Kamille, Grace Chatto and Jack Patterson, the latter two of whom also produced the song with Mark Ralph.

All non-Starfleet races were once again demonised as existential ‘others’ to maintain the status quo. The captain always had to be right, the prime directive could not be breached for any reason.Īll this reached a horrible event horizon with Alliances when, to ensure Voyager’s survival, Janeway attempted to negotiate with an enemy race. Worse still, the show held the principles of the Federation – and by extension Rodenberry – as some kind of religious dogma, unwavering and immutable. Making them completely identical to the rest of the crew? Rubbish. Integrating Maquis freedom fighters into a Starfleet crew? Brilliant. Doing it by having the Captain protect a species with a lifespan shorter than my dog (oh the Ocampa)? Less so. Stranding the crew in the Delta Quadrant? Brilliant. Voyager was given every gift that the Star Trek universe had to offer and it mishandled every one of them. So when Voyager got flung into the Delta Quadrant it was now in a wild unknown where it was free to disregard the more restrictive elements of Rodenberry’s vision. Deep Space Nine would make its name actively challenging the concept in landmark episodes such as Homefront and In the Pale Moonlight. The Next Generation eventually stopped trying to live up to Rodenberry’s utopia and allowed whole other worlds of conflict. And it did all this with sets, costumes and creatures so distinct that fans continue to imitate them to this day.Ī lot changed between that and Voyager of course. Then it used that utopia to facilitate battles to the death, tense dilemmas and Viagra viruses ( The Naked Now in case you were wondering). Star Trek presented a socialist utopia in which humanity had evolved beyond differences of gender, race and even species to work for the advancement of the whole. |
