"We are thrilled to move our facilities to Montgomery County, Maryland into what will be a Grade A complex developed by Carr Properties and we thank the state of Maryland and Montgomery County for making this possible," Fox 5 VP and GM Patrick Paolini said this morning. "This will be a state-of-the-art facility that will keep us in the heart of the Washington, D.C. Metro area and allow us to better serve our community,"
MORIBUND.
ReplyDeleteI was at a Maury Povich taping at the original studios back in the day.
ReplyDeleteWhats the over/under for comments deleted on this post.
ReplyDeleteStill hoping for a movie theater and decent restaurants as well!
ReplyDeleteStarting a petition that Maury is there to cut the ribbon when the new office opens.
ReplyDeleteI hope Robbie gets a job there. He can commute on his tricycle on the Capital Crescent Trail!
ReplyDeleteWho'd think the site of UA and Unos Pizza would become Fox 5?
ReplyDeleteWhatever happened with that stupid 70 dollar debate Bethesda Mag was hosting? Was Mr. Ficker allowed to attend?
ReplyDeleteBig, big news
ReplyDeleteDyer - give it up. Bethesda Mag owns you. This is like the tenth big story they've scooped you with. I'll give you credit you are great at taking out of focus pictures of signs, but they report real news. And again, they got you...old chap!
ReplyDeleteHe's going to misread the situation and get super defensive and start snapping back and deleting comments like this one.
ReplyDeleteSure, off topic, irrevelent comments and personal attacks should be deleted.
DeleteUnless Dyer is making a play for doctor's waiting rooms, then no other publisher "owns" him.
ReplyDeleteDyer has his own unique audience: influential, affluent, younger compared to a print Magazine.
I think he can cede the waiting room crowd to others. Stay in your lane.
I think he can cede the waiting room crowd to others.
ReplyDeleteNevermind that there are 11x as many "others"...
Mr. Dyer, this is why your a hobby blog and other places are called news outlets...because they get the story first and due their due diligence with a little something called reporting. Stick with taking pictures of closing signs and leave the real journalism to the big boys and gals.
ReplyDeleteActually the bigger issue is Robert's complaining that others "plagiarize" him and then his double standard when he "plagiarizes" others.
DeleteDyer's troll with his daily litany of grievances.
ReplyDeleteIsn't this blog really just the county's troll with his daily litany of grievances? :)
DeleteGood point!
Delete5:18: Mr. Dumbass, the rumor of Fox5's move was first reported by the Washington Business Journal, not the small and slightly-failing magazine. The official confirmation came this morning from Fox5 itself, and I reported it shortly after the announcement. Very timely, and not just a knock-off from the Biz Journals.
ReplyDeleteRewriting a Biz Journal article is NOT a scoop, old sport.
3:24: I've had all the big stories, recently and in the past. Everything from Tastee Diner negotiations to Bruce Variety closing to Grapeseed closing.
ReplyDeleteThe small and slightly-failing magazine didn't even cover the B.F. Saul development unveiling in Rockville last week, the biggest development coming to Rockville and one of the biggest in the County. Sad!
Fortunately, the leading source for Rockville news - RockvilleNights.com - was there to report the story.
"Tastee Diner negotiations"
ReplyDeleteAre you sure you want to go there? Why not mention Kaldi's while you're at it?
"The official confirmation came this morning from Fox5 itself, and I reported it shortly after the announcement."
Except that The Other Place reported Fox 5's confirmation of the move 30 minutes before you did.
"The small and slightly-failing magazine didn't even cover the B.F. Saul development unveiling in Rockville last week, the biggest development coming to Rockville and one of the biggest in the County. Sad!
ReplyDelete"Fortunately, the leading source for Rockville news - RockvilleNights.com - was there to report the story."
That sounds like an interesting story. Why not publish it on this blog? No one actually reads your Rockville blog.
"Dyer has his own unique audience: influential, affluent, younger compared to a print Magazine."
ReplyDeleteLOL, just keep making stuff up out of thin air.
10:06: Why would I publish a Rockville story on a Bethesda blog? RockvilleNights.com is the most-read news website in Rockville, so readership is not a problem.
ReplyDelete9:15: Washington Post and the small and slightly-failing magazine already "went there" when they plagiarized my Tastee Diner-Marriott scoops without properly citing me as the source.
You want me to mention that Kaldi's posted an announcement that they were "closing their doors" and holding a "complete liquidation auction" of their contents, only to backtrack and say they were just renovating?
1:59: No need to make anything up. Few people under 30 are reading print magazines, but they've been reading this blog for years, with the best (and for a long time the only) mobile version in town.
"RockvilleNights.com is the most-read news website in Rockville"
ReplyDeleteWhat other sites are you comparing it to?
How do you know the demographics of your Bethesda blog's readers, if you cannot even give actual numbers for them?
And why do you keep trying to claim that Bethesda Beat is a "print magazine"?
For the 800th time: This blog did not "break" the Grapeseed story. Further, this blog was late reporting who is taking over the space.
ReplyDeleteTastee is hardly a scoop of anything since you were wrong and its still open...
ReplyDelete6:07: I was so right about Tastee that Marriott confirmed my scoop to be correct at their meeting. Of course it's still open, because neighbor Woodmont Grill refused to sell and tanked the whole plan.
ReplyDelete6:06: No other media outlet reported it before me, old sport. That's called breaking the story, chump.
"Marriott confirmed my scoop to be correct at their meeting."
ReplyDeleteNo they didn't. Silly liar. Whom are you trying to fool?
Let's be clear: Marriott spox confirmed Dyer's reporting at the public meeting.
ReplyDeleteWhy is Blogger a "media outlet" but a Facebook page is not?
ReplyDeleteTo "break" a story is to be the first to make the information public, old sport. Grapeseed "broke" the story themselves when they posted the info in Facebook, chump.
ReplyDelete"Why would I publish a Rockville story on a Bethesda blog?"
ReplyDeleteEXCELLENT question! Perhaps now you'll tell us why you published the (factually-incorrect) Sears Auto Center story (a Bethesda story) on your Rockville blog?
6:47: Very simple - there is no Sears Auto Center or mall in Rockville, so many customers went there and would want to know that information.
ReplyDeleteWhy, then, no mention of the Lakeforest location which is much closer to Rockville than White Oak?
ReplyDeleteWhat a volatile crock of BS. "so many customers went there and would want to know that information."
ReplyDeleteComet Pizza. BOOM !
