Where's is this new logo? Let me see it..

I don't think this was mentioned on this thread (you can correct me if I'm wrong). But I want to know who composed this theme. This is from WTTV in the mid-80s. Vid courtesy of kyndel hewitt from YT Is this theme based on its station promo "4 The Good Times"? Listen closely. Vid courtesy of TheClassicSports from YT.

Sounds like changes are ahead on the morning show.

We have a brand new carriage dispute. And this is a big one. AT&T/DirecTV and Disney/ABC. That's not just the eight ABC O&Os, but all of the Disney & ESPN networks as well. Now they didn't mention when they'll probably pull the networks off of the AT&T/DirecTV platforms. KGO posted this message about the dispute on its Facebook wall.

Damn. Two former Fox 5-ers anchoring mornings Channel 9 (along with Annie Yu).

WBTV implemented the new Gray graphics last night.

A small M&A. Remember KGBY? That was the former KJCT when the station was on its full-power signal, before Gray (owner of KKCO) sold the station to a minority-owner broadcaster back in 2014. Now that broadcaster is selling the station. Chang Media Group is selling KGBY to Ventura Media Communications for $375K. Ventura Media also owns stations in Fresno, CA and Idaho Falls, ID. That includes KVUI (which was the former Fox affiliate KFXP, prior to 2011).

That sounds like Locals Only.

Agreed. The Mike Davis discussion is moved to this thread.

And here's the website of Greta's new show. Which looks like a modification to Raycom station's website, with a font change.

On the TVPassport guide, it says "The Noon Show". Not sure if its news or a local program. I didn't see any releases on the website or on their Facebook wall about it.

Longtime Fox 32 reporter Larry Yellen announced that he is retiring at the end of the month after 25 years at the station. Although he's leaving the station full-time, he might show up periodically as expert contributor.

Another big Tegna departure. Longtime KPNX sports director Bruce Cooper announced that he is retiring from the big 12 next August, after the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

So just like the Gray stations, the Nexstar outlets will be playing the national anthem beginning on Labor Day.

There's going to be a new addition to the Channel 7 morning team. Feder stated that she'll be starting on September 30. She comes from KXAS in Fort Worth, TX.

Gray has renewed its Fox affiliation in all 21 markets.

I think I understand why the 7pm show is on WPXT. ABC is probably going to air another pre-game show at 7pm in between the end of the 3:30pm college football game and Saturday Night Football, in which this year, all the games will air at 7:30pm (instead of 8pm). The good thing about that 7:30 start time, is that local stations in the eastern half of the country can finally (for the most part) get their late show in on time, instead of waiting to close to midnight on some weeks.

WPTV has reached a milestone today. 65 years on the air. And you can't celebrate the occasion without cake.

Same vid as the one used on the Gray stations. Channel 2 just added some local scenic shots. Vid courtesy of Gray's YT page.

That's WPVI.

That's not true. Last September, ABC started producing America This Morning at 3:30am/ET. Only WPVI is only eastern station to air ATM at 3:30am. Of course, its up to the station's discretion if they want to expand to 4am, but I'm sure there are other reasons why the other O&Os haven't done so yet. But should they do expand in the future, expect stations having a different anchor pair for the midday show.

No. He meant the new LP they lit up last year. KCWH-LD, The CW affiliate in Lincoln (repeated on KNHL (formerly KHAS) 5.3). Gray has that Cornhusker state locked from Omaha to Scottsbluff.

WCIU in Chicago is one of the big stations in top-3 markets that will air Greta's program.

It appears that CBS & AT&T has reach a new deal, ending the three-week blackout on DirecTV, DirecTV Now and U-Verse.
