There goes our chance to turn it into a store for bootleg news stuff, with dollar store-quality circle 7 pins and still-fat Skilling plushies.

The fact that they actively promote fox news shows is a turn off. I didn’t care to see Jesse Watters promoting his show while watching storm coverage. They should have kept it separate.

I like how neither of the “new” logos have the current ABC logo. I know that KSTP switched to the current ABC logo already. But dang, the Gray graphics thread is turning into a logo discussion thread. @24994JWe should have a logo discussion thread.

Seeing that new WAVE logo reminds me of other local TV stations that got on the retro logo bandwagon: * KSTP-TV 5 of Minneapolis, Minnesota switched to a logo resembling their red and white 1982 logo. * WMAR-TV 2 of Baltimore, Maryland is currently using a logo that resembles their original 1975 logo.

Challenger Disaster coverage from KABC-TV in Los Angeles (starts at 14:22): Challenger Disaster coverage from KGO-TV in San Francisco (with an appearance by Bob Boudreaux of KTRK-TV in Houston):

Fact Check time! KSTP's does use the new ABC logo- A quick scroll through the homepage of their website shows that... I counted 8 new ABC logos, 3 old logos. Since I watch their newscasts, click on any recent video and you will see the new logo used on all on-air graphics (except mic flags). And if we're bring honest, as small of a scale the ABC logo is the average/casual viewer probably doesn't notice or care about the change. Also- I'll go on the argument (again...) that it's not necessarily retro. The logo goes back to the red box/parallelogram a few times from the original inception. The most recent case in 2021, Fox9 switched to the new O&O look making every station's primary color a shade of blue (4, 5, 9, and 11). KSTP simply differentiated themselves by changing their color scheme to red/white/black.

Another national appearance for Brittany Bell, this time on Live with Kelly and Ryan.

Sorry if I confused you all. Yes time and temp should be there between 7 AM and 9 AM. Not everyone is walking around with their phone constantly. It can be done right and not be obtrusive. The problem with WOIO is their current incarnation of their logo is too big on the right side of the screen. Time/temp can't fit with CBS Mornings new graphics.

WABC's President & General Manager Chad Matthews has been appointed as new President of the ABC Owned Television Stations. No word on who'll replace Matthews as GM of Channel 7.

And it still works fine!

It's the '98 Camry of news desks- CBS is gonna get 100,000+ miles out of that sucker!

Maybe Alabama PBS is trying to get satellite must-carry rights in the Columbus-Tupelo DMA, which includes Lamar County and Vernon.

Don't send one-man-band reporters out to do live shots at night on the side of the road-- ever. I don't care if the director was slow in cutting the shot or if the anchor can't see the on-air monitor or if the reporter didn't have a vest. You can't send reporters alone for nighttime live shots, especially on the side of the road.
