KTIV has gone to the GrayOne graphics. And they have a brand new production center as well.

Embracing that high channel number like nobody's business. This is the way!

Actually, I just caught a promo for Telemundo Cincinnati which is, indeed, on WBQC 25.1. https://www.telemundocincinnati.com/ According to Wikipedia, they made the switch two weeks ago on July 27.

On weekend mornings during the hours that there's a Fox Business simulcast, Fox Weather First Weekend always takes longer breaks than normal Fox Weather programming in order to account for the longer breaks that take place on cable. To date, on the streaming side, Fox Weather always filled this extra break time with a musical interlude featuring live camera shots from cities around the country. Looks like this weekend, they've finally decided to change it up and air actual weather information during the musical interludes, which is way more useful than the live camera shots.

Here's a promo for reference.

Sounds very similar to how TWC does during LOT8'S, by listing various cities by region.

Ehh, some of them have deteriorated to third-fourth place (or never got out of the basement under previous ownership) and have entrenched management that should have been gone a decade ago. For many of those stations, without the police comms officer in charge of their Nixle/Facebook writing up police PR and the craven accident-chasing social media accounts they happily take content from, they'd be even worse off. I'm happy to see what Scripps can do, because the Journal deal was an albatross of badly-entrenched management (if you've seen my views over the years, you know exactly who I'm talking about) that they had to wait out before they could make their mark on those stations. Scripps News is a good product that needs more eyes on it and anything that gets away from the social media/Ring/drivecam 'filler news' model for their stations is welcome to me.

An overdue upgrade for WINK and absolutely necessary for any possible sale in the future. No company in their right mind (or their insurance company) would take on that building after Ian. Oddly enough, they were committed to a future in that building until a few weeks before Ian. If you look at Fort Myers building permits - they shelved a plan just a few weeks before the storm to add a studio to the northwest side of the building—the part of the building closest to the creek and water.

FCC approvals does not mean the deal has been finalized or consummated. You should not be seeing any Nexstar insignias/signoffs yet.

As I predicted, The CW is moving to KQCA in Sacramento.

Wouldn't it just be easier just to say reporting from Miami, Jose Diaz Balart? Why the make believe he flies from Miami to NY to Miami every Saturday? Then they don't have to do a virtual copy of 1A, or 3C in the past and any future 3X studio.
