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.
amen
I love WTVJ. But sorry, I did NOT like this PROMO. Very weird 🙁
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).
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.
it’s cute and different
Belongs on ch7, not WTVJ
leave kevin alone… that’s my friend!
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?
Amateurish.
Just when you think WTVJ can’t get any worse, it proves you wrong and makes a death dive.
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.
Chuck, didn’t “The Three Stooges” have a promo like this back in the late 50s ? Joe Rose would have been a great Moe.
HAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Hit the nail on the head Moe. I mean bro.
People are being way too harsh on WTVJ. I actually love this lil promo.
Kevin is thinking while doing this spot “Did I really need a job this bad”?
He said it himself last night.
Love this one even more!
..and co-anchor Kevin Corke as….The Beaver
If WTVJ news was an old TV Sitcom, it would be “My Mother The Car”……I bet Chuck is laughing right now……
and Ralph is rolling over in his grave again. so now he is back to being wrong side up.
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
Kevin Corke is better than Demarco Morgan. Kevin seems to be more humble and kool. Demarco was kool but arrogant.
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.
FOX News has gotten people talking, but I don’t tune them in….
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!!!
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.
Glad that Joe Rose is finally using some Binaca… now if only we could get him to change his drawz.
