    WJHG is down two meteorologists....Dan Nyman, and former Chief Chris Smith. They are starting a local weather website PCBWeather.com. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2025/6/12/fired-in-florida They figured their gooses were cooked after their GM was in the same Convention & Visitor's Bureau meeting, objecting to their plans announced there.

    I"m surprised it took this long for a station group to embrace such a move. It puts ABC, CBS and NBC affiliates on the same level playing field so they can compete with the FOX/CW/independent stations running local news during this time. With sports pre-emptions happening more often (as TV is putting even more second-rate sports on at primetime), a station can stream at their normal time, and just playback the complete show when the event is over, or regroup if they have to do an abbreviated show on broadcast if they are filling the time for another live event. And with network affiliations becoming more of a gamble, it's an easy move to repurpose the shows should the network drop their station. Plus, not having to wait around for a live show would cut down on overtime. If it was important enough of a story, they would be live with breaking news, anyways.

    Seems so. Wow.

    Pleasantly surprised. This looks great! I loved the waxed floor look of Disney's new studios and the warmer lighting on each set. This easily beats the sets of CBS Mornings and Today. It gives KTLA loft vibes. The anchor desk is the biggest improvement, no more infinite hall of mirrors look. I wish there were more physical set pieces instead of a mostly barren floor space but great set none the less.

    WFAA recently launched a 7am stream a few weeks ago (originally during severe weather mornings, now daily). Won’t be surprised if they simulcast it on KFAA, as well.

    The Fox O&O cuts have hit Austin. KTBC has let go one evening anchor and one morning anchor. https://mikemcguff.blogspot.com/2025/06/rebecca-thomas-leaves-fox-7-austin.html

    I understand there might be an “increased demand” for more local news… but this definitely isn’t what anyone was asking for.

    Yep, Tegna issued a press release today saying that all of it's stations will have 7-9am online-only newscasts by the fall: https://www.tegna.com/tegna-announces-major-local-news-expansion-adding-more-than-100-hours-of-new-daily-programming-across-50-markets/

    What we’ve seen so far looks great. The new on-air package borrows a lot from the GMA3 look. I never thought the lighting in TSS was particularly bad but the lighting at 7 Hudson Square is a significant improvement.

    I'm not mad with the WISH package... It's still waaaay better than their previous outdated package
  18. MediaCriticLA
    I don't think it's particularly new. They're just really ramping it up.

    WTSP 1988 intro, the tail end of the "Action News" era and the brief stint of Steve Talbot as sports director. He was gone by the fall of '88:

    And the WISH-2018 package. Off-the-shelf.

    So with GMA moving, is it correct ABC7 will have shows produced from 7 Hudson Square from 4am until 7pm (besides for the hour General Hospital at 3pm)?

    Watched it on Hulu...call me old-school, but your news reporters shouldn't be literally changing clothes to do fitness segments on cheap fitness junk. There used to be a line between sales and news, and there still is! Just saw it last week in Milwaukee on WTMJ where the news side kicked The Morning Blend off the set before a court verdict during a commercial break, just threw the set stools somewhere and started news coverage! I don't care if it's Saturday and 'low expectations' and it's 'only a half-hour', don't make reporting talent do informercial/secret sale segments!

    This is the new reality in pretty much in every market.

    Last week KSWB Fox 5 moved into the KUSI building, and... KUSI got new graphics and after nearly 30 years dropped Gari's The One and Only. Not sure what the new package is, other that it sounds like pretty much every other generic package these days. De emphasizing the Good Morning San Diego branding - no longer featured in the bug. No more AccuWeather. And fewer cities in the forecast highs/lows section - gone from it is Rancho Santa Fe, home to the McKinnons. Graphics are still skewed to an older audience - big type, but less 3D.

    According to our UK counterparts on Pres Cafe, this picture of the studio was heavily sepia-toned.

    KGTV San Diego just moved World News Tonight on weeknights to 5:30 p.m., ending a 22-year run (starting in 2003) of carrying WNT in the 6:30 timeslot. The 6:00 pm news is now an hour and thus gives KGTV two 90-minute local news blocks in the early evening. The first from 4:00-5:30 and another from 6:00-7:30 p.m. It also ends an era in San Diego as, at one point, all three network newscasts aired in different timeslots with KNSD's at 5:30, KFMB's at 6:00, and KGTV's at 6:30. That changed when KFMB moved theirs a few years back to 5:30 (more likely did so after TEGNA started owning them), and now KGTV just did the same for theirs.

    I'm really disgusted with how biased KTLA has become. They have always been biased towards the police, they employ many retired officers, but the last week or so of coverage has been like watching pro police propaganda. The way anchors and reporters keep injecting pro-police commentary while ignoring and defending anything negative that the police have been doing during these protests is just astounding. I don't expect opinions when I watch KTLA, I know they aren't going to express left wing views I agree with, but I feel like i'm watching FOX News with the MAGA opinions the anchors keep expressing.

    45min well spent. Former KNBC Orange County Bureau Chief Vikki Vargas speaks about her time at the station and how the industry has changed.

    I was wondering the same thing, as most (if not all besides Gulf Coast News) have updated their opens... Which is odd
