Listened to the demo on their press release… This sounds like the result of asking ChatGPT to make you a music package.

I understand there might be an “increased demand” for more local news… but this definitely isn’t what anyone was asking for.

ABC News needs some new creative directors...

As was already said, it’s leased by Disney, not owned. A private investment group owns it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1500_Broadway https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamares_Group

The White House has officially sent the rescission package to Congress and now begins a 45-day clock for them to consider clawing back $9.4 billion in approved spending, including $1.1 billion to fund CPB for FY26 and 27. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/trump-formally-asks-congress-to-claw-back-approved-spending-targeted-by-doge This news comes a day after GBH in Boston made the announcement they've laid off 45 staffers.

Scripps' graphics hub is in the same building as WFTS.

Didn't they do this already?

Normally I find a lot of the criticism about Fox Weather to be a little petty, but was kind of surprised having it on this afternoon that I don't believe they were live (during Fox Weather Live of all shows) at all and had no coverage of the tornadic storms blowing through the Washington DC area. Weird.

The design has VividZero/Defiant vibes ?

I was just thinking about this the other day. Fox launched their last look in 2019, TEGNA even before that. Lots of stale stuff on the air right now. I guess CBS and ABC have the “newest” stuff on air but it’s nothing to write home about.

I wouldn’t put it past them, but it could also support their group wide initiatives like Local News Live or InvestigateTV.

WUSA’s entire game plan is based on hiring anchors fired from other stations. The entire morning show is WTTG castaways.

Custom logo and tiles make me think mistake is not likely.

Maybe it was designed by a designer thinking it could be up when a lower third is not… but it’s rare to not have a lower third up during a breaking news event.
