Debuting at 4, the lower thirds have been completely revamped. A new ticker rips off NBC's Look N, though includes weather info, in addition to web/social media plugs. The bug is horizontal like WABC (with poorly sized and alligned text), and everything is 16:9 ready. All new elements fade off to the right, making the updated look is much lighter, even with the ticker. All opens and full screens are the same. It's not perfect, but it is a nice refresh of a good look.

I'm agreeing too on the WRTV/KCCI connection.

Although "Storm Shield" sounds kinda tacky, I will say that "First Alert Weather" is WAY overused, no matter who owns the station... I do like KNXV's "Desert Doppler" moniker...

Will Mearl Purvis and Darrell Greene be headling the 6:00 newscast?

Who's that?

Goes to show you what a great person Cindy is when the Chenbot pays you a compliment.

I know Cindy also. She is a nice person who has not committed any felonies. Cindy does not owe me any money, and I have never seen her drunk or shoot anybody. Cindy is a big supporter of the arts because she has many paintings on her fridge. I would vote for Cindy for President, but that mean lady and nasty man want to fight all day like my dad and Mom did back when I was a baby. I would let Cindy sit on my pets if I go on vacation, because she is an excellent pet sitter.
