  1. Past hour
  2. With all the Caitlin Clark buzz, WTHR and stations in 11 other markets (including many non-Tegna stations) will carry 17 Indiana Fever games: https://www.tegna.com/tegna-and-indiana-fever-expand-broadcast-distribution-of-the-fevers-exciting-upcoming-season-in-11-additional-markets/
  3. Today
  4. If the system carries NewsNation, all Nexstar would have to do is ask them to carry either the CW feed or one of their adjacent CW O&Os. That may be a harder ordeal than trying to please the FCC
  5. They could also launch their own cable-only station with the Plus feed and have someone handle advertising.
  6. I’ve noticed lately that KTLA has been using a new font when they show current/future temperatures. It’s a possibility that they may be testing for a new graphics package in the near future but I don’t want to speculate too much.
  7. It's complicated. The CW / Nexstar could ask cable companies in Detroit to put stations like WLAJ-DT2 in Lansing, Michigan, WBSF in Bay City (Michigan Thumb), or WTVG-DT2 in Toledo, Ohio. On-Air; Well, good luck with that.
  8. Pretty simple here: the CW winds up without a Detroit affiliate.
  9. Sometimes I wonder what some hypothetical color combinations would be like for GrayOne. For example, if Gray owned a station in Pittsburgh (would require either CBS to walk away from its non-top 10 O&O's, or a Cox and Hearst deal), the yellow and black would look really good I think. I also think some purple is needed for WVUE when it goes to the package.
  10. Okay question, what if WDIV declines to put the CW on one of it's digital sub channels? Then what does Nexstar do?
  11. Whatever happened to Philip Mena?
  12. Yesterday
  13. WBKO NewsCenter 13 at 10:00 (February 8, 1988) WNDU NewsCenter 16 at 11:00 (July 4, 1986) WNDU NewsCenter 16 at 11:00 (March 17, 1991) WWMT News 3 at 11:00 (February 1, 1991)
  14. WDIV will probably get the affiliation it’s kinda impossible to land somewhere else. So I see why Mission wants to close.
  15. Here are the options: Any Windsor, Ontario stations are an big NO. WJBK is an bit of an problem, they could put the MyNet program service on 2.2 or an its main signal on late nights. WDIV is the most likely. WXYZ, WKBD, WWJ, WADL, WMYD, or any other station won't be an option.
  16. Honestly, I hope Mission gets stuck with this station. As much of a hot mess Kevin Adell is, I think Nexstar got in way too deep after getting full control of the CW. Unless Nexstar sells off 7-8 percent of population reach, they're stuck with a station that can't even air the entire CW output. That's probably a good reason Sinclair hasn't bought a network (like MyNetwork). Surprised it hasn't hit Ion/Scripps as well since they're way over the line in reach. Getting the CW in Detroit is going to be even harder than CBS had to scramble in 1994. At least they stayed on Channel 62! So far, CW has bounced from WKBD....to WADL....to WMYD...and who knows after that? (WDIV as a subchannel is probably the likeliest....)
  17. Early Today with new graphics and aligned with the Today Show graphics package:
  18. Wow, looks like even for an SPC High Risk day and at least 7 active tornado warnings. TWC isn't going to do full overnight coverage. Todd Borek came in and did coverage from like 1am-1:30am ET, but right now, they're back to long-form. Their competitors at Fox Weather are no better. They dropped live coverage at 12am ET. They're just running automated weather maps ever since. Guess the days of overnight tornado coverage are over, across the board. Only hurricanes will keep the networks up all night from now on.
  19. Oops, did I seriously say w. I can't make that mistake here again. I will get thrown off the island.
  20. Other stations including News12NJ reported this last Friday.
  21. A newstruck belonging to PIX11 struck 3 pedestrians in New Jersey. The victims are expected to be OK https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2024/5/5/nexstar-news-van-hits-3-pedestrians
  22. Just wondering, most of the Hearst stations I've seen seem to be using him and WBAL seems to have recently switched to using him as their main VO after having Bill Ratner for the longest time.
  23. The 5:00 and 6:00 opens and talent rejoins for KBJR are absolutely beautiful. Personal opinion that KBJR's appearance fell way behind WDIO under their Quincy ownership... This brings them back!
  24. Last week
  25. I have to agree that both KBJR and WTVG were given great improvements from their previous graphics. The WTVG open looks fantastic while KBJR's use of GrayONE was fantastic. Now, it will be interesting to see how other Gray stations will look with GrayONE.
  26. They look REALLY good! Also, I LOVE the open for WTVG ! Not trying to be negative (sorry in advance?) but I am just keeping my fingers crossed that WOIO 19 doesn't use the WWBT red when they switch.... From past experiences, I have a bad feeling that they will. So much red. But the other colors are great on the other stations. WBJR did a fantastic job!
  27. Even more billable hours are coming... https://www.nexttv.com/news/owner-of-wadl-urges-mission-to-close-station-purchase
  28. WSIL cancelled their weekend morning news last Saturday, link here: https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2024/5/5/straight-up-bullshit
