KTLA's Sky 5 helicopter N925TV has been out for the past couple of weeks getting refurbishments. She's back now to match all of the KTLA fleet vehicles and branding, looking bright blue!

It does feel like the pool of V/O artists skews pretty old, honestly. Like there is no one to take the reins from the mainstays as they decline or leave the profession.

No, You want to work out all the little bugs that will occur live on the air anyway. Best to have it perfected before sweeps begin....because there WILL be problems.

Hmmmm....

Ratner's in his 70's, and is starting to decline a bit. I can't imagine that he'd be a viable long-term option, unless they'd want to do this all over again in a couple years.

For a long time it was rumored that WBNS was going to get a new building, which makes sense since the current building dates back to 1949 and has been expanded at least three or four times. Tegna seems to like to lease space instead of owning, which might make things more affordable. Big corporations don't like to own real estate anyway. Do they finally get nice digs like WKYC?

They’ve traditionally made big changes in December. They debuted their current set in December 2014.

Well, there's a new set in the new studio, and new cameras and a Tricaster too. And actual studio lights. A big improvement. Now maybe they can focus on improving the content of the programming.

As mentioned elsewhere, there are some stations that still have the look of their previous ownership and have been owned by a new company for over 1 or 2 years. I don't know what KFMB's situation was, but it's possible they already had infrastructure in place to handle the Tegna look. If WTHR and WBNS don't, that will take time. As also mentioned, changing the artistic on air look isn't always the highest priority when a new owner takes over. There's an even smaller chance that 'THR and 'BNS somehow convinced Tegna to keep their look.

Found where they got their new graphics from...
