NY1 Redesigned To Include One Less Hot Jogging Guy

In Time Warner’s effort to “rebrand” NY1 to make it look just like other Time Warner local properties (WHY? We don’t care about other properties!), they’ve redone the music and bumpers and titles and stuff. Fine. But there’s a casualty of this change, as there always is.

@tmcgev @choire I didn’t even know there was a hot jogger. Reviewing tapes now.

That’s right. Along the way, NY1 killed Hot Jogger Guy, who used to appear in the pre-weather montage thingey, whoever he is. RIP Hot Jogger Guy. We’ll always have this screenshot of you.
