For all the instability surrounding Scripps, KNXV (ABC15 Arizona) seems to be handling it well even with the recent departure of Katie Raml.

After 10 years at Scripps' flagship, Craig McKee will be leaving next month to head off to KNXV Phoenix. https://www.wcpo.com/news/local-news/wcpo-9-anchor-craig-mckee-leaving-after-10-years

Oh ok

Couldn’t help but notice the stand up area with the faux windows near the desk has been removed. So they’re now down to just home base and the interview area. Curious to see what the end result of this set remodel (?) will be. Also, a Chicago city grid has been added as a third background option (along with a tv monitor and the Fox 32 logo) in Studio 32.

Neither of them are.

With the leadership being in flux at CBS News, I wouldn’t be surprised if Lonnie’s role is greatly diminished (or eliminated) somewhere down the line. Plus, I don’t get the impression he wants to solely focus on CBS Evening News.

I wanted to update this, as Kristine welcomed Lonnie back to the 11pm this week, so it appears the change was only to ease him back into work (and I think Vanessa was still doing the 6pm/8pm). So now with Scott added, they have Lonnie, John, Vanessa, Tony, and Scott. And not to mention Craig Allen and Rob Marciano.

Wouldn't surprise me if Scott becomes the chief at CBS New York & let Lonnie focus on CBS Evening News.

This looks like something they would do. I mean, some of the elements here look pretty familiar.

According to the NMSA The music for the 2025 graphics was made by 11/one music

Today happens to be Meterologist Maria Quiban’s 25th year at FOX 11 and it just shows how fast the time flies.

Former KTVT chief meteorologist Scott Padgett is joining WCBS.

Good 'ol WPLG from 1999. This was back when WPLG was in Miami-Dade, when Eyewitness News was still its name, and when The One and Only (music package) was only five years old. https://youtu.be/98yqxcDQ-kk?si=m5kay_cuqjvOnuik

Reminders of final day today for local news anchors: • WRGB's Liz Bishop after an amazing 52-year run. The special half-hour at 6pm will be her last. • NBC's Lester Holt (already mentioned in another thread). • KCTV's Carolyn Long after 28 years. • WDBJ's Jean Jadhon after 33 years. EDIT: Adding a meteorologist: • WTLV/WJXX's Tim Deegan after 43 years. I can't think of more but get those recorders ready for historical preservation on YouTube.

I saw this on X. If this is any indication, we could be on a verge of a HUGE major rebrand for RTVE Spain, the first major change to happen since 2008. Stay tuned...

No this is not Effra -- it's definitely the font used by the new Cox graphics package that just came out

JUST FOR REMINDER: After taking the role as a anchor and managing director a decade ago in June 2015, tonight will be the last day of Lester Holt anchoring NBC Nightly News.

This is the 7 day forecast graphic. It looks pretty decent me thinks.

The current music is rather... lethargic too. I really miss Inergy at this point. This music won't fit everywhere if thats the required opening cut. Maybe there is something better in the package. These graphics look pretty good though I hope they keep the concept of the transitions featuring the station logo between stories. It was a nice touch. I am glad to see there are no text bubbles or crazy flying boxes or other insanity this time.

4pm- Samantha Cortese and John Fenoglio 5pm/6pm- Cher Calvin and Micah Ohlman 6:30pm- Micah Ohlman 7pm- Cher Calvin and Micah Ohlman....same team for 10pm/11pm.

I look forward to resounding at length... it's been a long day for now. Bachatcha soon .. thanks!

You read that right. KWQC commissioned it (thanks to Cyle Dickens' help nonetheless) and will debut on June 10th.

Cool, what was the story / process / inspiration that got you to that arrangement? Pretty iconic, nailed the newsy urgency and authority with some ebbs and flows. I remember it being used for many years.
