Probably delayed. It’s fairly easy and cheap for them to swap in the flat logo on their current opens at this point. I imagine a larger graphics overhaul is coming so they’re holding off on paying for and spending time on minor changes to current opens. So far it seems like WABC is the only O&O to update the bug during news programming but has still left intact the logo everywhere else during news.

So guessing the O&Os getting a uniform gfx package is, if not dead, delayed... 'PVI has played with the flat look before even the current in-house look debuted. Usually the weather team updates ahead of time - and that too still reflects the general look. Fall brought usual update to the Delaware valley's leading news program intros... and the 2017 look is alive and well.

I am so mad. I don’t understand why you have a network named NewsNation which brags about the newsrooms you have across the country and be showing syndicated programming during one of the worst storms to hit LA. They literally have more reporters on the ground versus any network. Use them. Do affiliate coverage. Jesus. It’s not hard.This doesn’t help your cause.

It does seem a bit odd, that tweet. But anyways, with all of the negative opinions of NewsNation on here... it seems like a lot of you just want to keep the blinders on. Just give Nexstar a break.

I'm looking for some info and want to see if any diehard Philly newsies or anyone have some answers. Going back to the days when KYW-3 was NBC and WCAU was CBS. I found a 1990 write up in The Philadelphia Inquirer. It was talking about KYW-3 ratings down after a certain sweeps period. They had the numbers in there, and the 6pm news was a rating point behind WCAU. The 11pm tied with WCAU. What I want to know is with affiliated with NBC at that time, was KYW 3 ever competitive? Does anybody know if there were times with NBC having some good programming helped KYW leaped to #2, or was it always dead-last? As for WCAU it was owned by CBS and I'm sure CBS had to be happy with their performance vs. NY, LA, Chicago O&O were not doing so well. Just wanted to know if anyone who knows Philly, have some stories or details about the market before the 1995 CBS/NBC switch. Looking at some of the old KYW-3 videos it does seem like KYW-3 News was solid off course there are different eras. I see some like The News Tonight era.

Michael Strahan is staying on with GMA as co-host for the foreseeable future, as his contract with ABC News has been renewed.

Here's a WPTF news update in 1980:

Vintage KDFW 10pm News from 1979!

Wow, that KCOP stuff is raaaaaaare. (They indeed changed their news brand and look later that year.) It also is loaded with strange presentation elements.

And that’s what we are going with for a network called NewsNation?

Renaming the network to NewsNation when you have a fixed schedule with just a few hours of news per day is so ridiculous. Sad to see that they don't even cover any type of breaking news that happens during the day, now almost one year after the network started doing news.

Wonder if WQHS will start investing in a local news department in reaction to WOIO and the new WCLT? I think WOIO/WUAB needs a translator for the areas up north in Cleveland (Lake County in particular) that cannot receive the stations.
