  1. That ranks up there as one of the weirdest promos I’ve seen. I expected them to highlight his national news work, but I see they went in a… different… direction. C’mon, WTVJ, at least TRY to be taken seriously.

  2. I actually liked it… it wasn’t the most creative promo, but it wasn’t terrible either. It’s definitely in the same tone as the nbcmiami.com site (throw rotten tomato here). Besides, we’ll get to hear about his days with national news enough over the coming weeks.

    By the way, anyone find it ironic that both Jackie and Kevin are Today Show alums (Jackie hosted the weekend version in the early 90s).

  3. It got people talking because they expected the traditional promo that frankly, no one ever remembers.

    It’s all part of the agency that took over the promos at all the nbc stations.

    If people are commenting on it, then it served its purpose.

    And no, sfltv is not banned at wtvj – they don’t care enough for that.

  4. You mean the same agency that came up with those NBC website promos that tell us the sites are perfect for shut-in losers, criminals and failures?

  5. I have to say…I think this is clever. Just touting his experience and talking about him would not necessarily be as memorable as this.

  6. Chuck, didn’t “The Three Stooges” have a promo like this back in the late 50s ? Joe Rose would have been a great Moe.

  7. If WTVJ news was an old TV Sitcom, it would be “My Mother The Car”……I bet Chuck is laughing right now……

  8. This promo is memorable, so was the movie “Waterworld” (for being a disaster). That said in it’s defense, it was produced in color and there was sound accompanying the picture. Different does not have to equal awful

  9. Kevin Corke is better than Demarco Morgan. Kevin seems to be more humble and kool. Demarco was kool but arrogant.

  10. I agree with an earlier post. If It’s got you talking, it served it’s purpose. Now if the actual news cast could be spiked up a little, WPLG/WSVN better watch out.

  11. The promo is horrible and isn’t effective in promoting Kevin Corke and/or WTVJ. Kevin, however, is GREAT!!!!! Please give him a chance and tell all of your friends to do so, too!! He’s my friend and I can tell you that he’s extremely intelligent, a consummate professional, an unbiased journalist, and an all-around terrific guy!!!!! He makes the news interesting and enjoyable to watch!!!

  12. From what I’ve seen so far, Corke is very good, but the WTVJackie-team is dragging him right down the tubes.

    It’s hard to soar like an eagle when you’re surrounded by turkeys.

  13. Glad that Joe Rose is finally using some Binaca… now if only we could get him to change his drawz.
