    What? Say that again? What did I say on Friday....

    As most of the stations used the "Coming Soon" (and of course it doesn't explain when the exact date of launch), those stations would implement the graphics within a week. As Tyler said on his twitter, "KVUE is going to look a little different next week." When next week is anyone's guess.

    Ahh NO!! NO!! Don't say that. Ugh!! LOL. Bringing back the 10pm repeat at 1:07am would greatly bring back some normalcy to the schedule. Yes, the daytime lineup are due to preemptions and such, but I don't see them squeezing another hour of Rachael. And anyway, I don't even think a station have aired a second airing during the overnight hours. We'll see what happens though, but I wish they don't do this.

    I can't be shocked about this schedule, because KABC went with a similar schedule, placing Rachael Ray between The Chew & GH. So it appears that ABC wants GH to be on an ideal 2pm timeslot (similar to NBC's Days Of Our Lives on the ideal 1pm timeslot on most stations (WMAQ airs it at 11am)). I'm not sure if its going to be for all of the O&Os. And Rachael Ray is at the right spot to compete with Vieira & The Talk. And I don't think anyone should be complaining about Inside Edition & Jeopardy! returning to its 3pm slots again. Where it needed to be!! Both shows were on those time slots since their syndicated debuts. It just didn't feel right being on an hour earlier. Now I want to know if Channel 7 is going to bring back the weeknight 10pm repeat again, after the WCL repeat. That was axed thanks to two years of those careless Katie repeats.

    I said they didn't say when they'll debut the graphics. Since they'd posted the video yesterday, its only a matter of time.

    Tyler Sieswerda from KVUE explains about the new graphics on its website. They didn't say when they'll debut the graphics, but might go for a wild guess (and take it with a grain of salt). If KENS 5 is launching on Thursday, I wouldn't be shocked if KVUE would launch on Tuesday. Similar to KGW & WVEC launches on that same week last month. Well, those color-coded things are now heading towards the Lone Star.

    They signed on last week. But Tonight, it's KGW!!! And I wouldn't be shocked if KING 5 be next. They now have their logo displayed.

    The Deathstar continues to be adding its newscasts on it stations, similar to the Trib & Fox. This time it's in Grand Rapids. TVNewsCheck states that Gannett-owned WZZM 13 will have a new Sunday Morning newscast from 6-8am, starting this Sunday (8/10). The station will also expand its weekday morning newscast to 4:30am, beginning August 18th.

    Well. I know they had to do something. Did they really have a choice? The Allbritton deal is done and the ComCorp deal is still sitting there, now hitting the 15th month this Wednesday. They knew this had to get this done. Have the DOJ/FTC sign-off on the ComCorp deal? If not, it's an extremely long wait. If DOJ/FTC finally sign-off on the deal, it may not be a speedy approval, because of a shell problem. Although they might sign-off on the Marshall properties in the Quads, Shreveport & Midland by a JSA waiver, what about ComCorp's other properties in Tyler & Baton Rouge? Unless they amend the application, and have a sharing arrangement for a short period of time, or eliminate the key sharing agreements entirely (option, sale of commercial time (JSA); maybe form a news carriage agreement), Wheeler would probably let it sit there, just like all the other deals with proposed sharing agreements. But I hope with this, barring any further delay, this deal can finally be done. Glad that DuJuan McCoy is finally coming back to the TV fold. He stated after selling KXVA/KIDY to London that he was planning on buying stations up-market. He made a big move with this deal. I'm hoping he'll get some more stations before too long.

    It could be just a coincidence. But maybe they're now stepping their news game up because of their newly-acquired sister station in Tulsa, and even then, KOKH wouldn't still have a boatload of news that KTUL have now.
  11. CircleSeven
    I wonder if they did this so they wouldn't have to distract the countless folks who's getting out of Grant Park for Lollapolooza. They were downstairs for all the other shows tonight.
  12. CircleSeven
    Most of the London stations, Yes. But for the love of God, please don't kill this logo. As I said back in May:
  13. CircleSeven
    Wow, I thought they were never going to close it out. But as of yesterday, the sale of KUBD/KTNL & KXLJ-LD to GCI Alaska has now been consummated. Now the question is, will they now buy a TV property in Fairbanks next?
  14. CircleSeven
    Looks like they're working on the KING 5 site now.
  15. CircleSeven
    Nothing to cause alarm, but we have another Pappas sell tonight. On the paperwork, it is selling its sole radio station in Modesto, CA, KMPH-AM, to a California non-profit firm, IHR Educational Broadcasting for $50K. IHR & Pappas will form an LMA, while they wait for the FCC greenlight. Plus, they'll file a new application to convert the station to a non-commercial station. I can't wait till they find a buyer for NTV.

    Modern logos are just as bland and (sometimes, more) hideous as they comes. I'm sick of these new clean looking uncharacterizing ones, instead of the older, more characterized logos with that "oomph" and "stank" on it, and it would have more lasting power. And that green in Money is more like a neon-like green color, like they want the colors to pop more so it can get the viewers attention.
  17. CircleSeven
    I was talking about when they came back on since they'd last signed off at 1pm.
  18. CircleSeven
    I'm not sure how long they've been on, but WVEC on the air right now because of those deadly storms that hit their area earlier today.
  19. CircleSeven
    At least they're using the proper "bright" red for Breaking News. This is the first time a Gari theme has returned to WVEC since they played the (what I call it) .
  20. CircleSeven
    That why I said tenative, because we don't know if anything would change without notice. I'm just hoping this time they would show the promos of the new look this time. Do you think they'd delayed the change because of a possible branding change back to "WCNC", similiar to what KGW did back to Tuesday?
  21. CircleSeven
    And missed this one too. The FCC greenlighted this eight days ago (7/15).
  22. CircleSeven
    Probably doing it for sweeps, just to build up the tease. Very good open nevertheless.
  23. CircleSeven
    The brand is now "KGW News". Jim Birdsall is still the VO. I wonder when KING 5 is going to change that NWCN open with KGW's new logo.
  24. CircleSeven
    It looks like it might be a big week for the Deathstar. Tenatively, WCNC on Saturday, WVEC on Thursday, and based on this tweet, KGW TOMORROW (all within the last full week of sweeps). This would leave KREM 2 & KTVB 7 in the NW, and the Lone Star cluster.
  25. CircleSeven
    WHOA!!! Didn't know they're also getting a new logo as well.... They obviously doing the plug to boot. This also means bye-bye to The Tower, which is one of the last stations to use it since the beginning in 2000.
