1993 Florida Marlins with the Sunshine Network
2000 Florida Marlins (also the final home opener at County Stadium in Milwaukee) [admittedly I am trying to find anything when WAMY covered the Marlins]
@Eat News When did KFMB broadcast the Padres

Shocking that this was 25 years ago.

French language broadcast of Rendezvous 87 from the NHL. Listen to like the first minute and you will here a familiar news theme from WWOR back in the 90s

Miami's WTVJ takes a look back at its first 70 years -- with plenty of historical footage:
And to think nearly a decade ago, they were very close to getting sold off to Post Newsweek and being merged with WPLG. To see this, even though they might not be first place, they still are doing things as close to the Renick Way as possible is nothing short of impressive.

My guess is, it's all managed by lakana. I could be wrong but the login pages for publishing are all StationID.lakana.com
It's clear as day here in the footer
For the front-end website publishing it is handled by Lakana and they are more than likely using AWS. In that case, it is more important for them to be at near 100% uptime. I am assuming that Nexstar probably is working towards enterprising their backend IT infrastructure including Virtualization (like station operations/DCs/Exchange Servers/i.e.)

https://www.wfla.com/ also seems to be different.
More and more broadcast groups seem to be using https://www.lakana.com/index.html vs the former WordPress VIP or https://web.liferay.com/products/what-is-a-portal/enterprise-cms
Noticed that more and more news sites are switching to AWS. Most likely to handle breaking stories and scale better, I assume?
Admittedly it is easier to handle scale of operations from a cloud perspective and going towards AWS or some other cloud based platform. Means for the stations IT department, they do not actually have to have the station's website on a station's local servers, and can ensure maximum uptime for a station's web presence. I would also expect that with virtualization being big as well, if a company like Nexstar isn't using something that is enterprised across their stations (for contingency purposes), than that would be kind of silly.

I wonder why Scripps hasn't fired the KGUN management team? I guess the KGUN management team hasn't given Scripps a legitimate reason to fire them
If they somehow can continue making money, than they aren't going to fire them

Are you sure that its Scripps management or is it probably KGUN management not wanting to go to those graphics for whatever reason.

The Turn Back the Clock game that FOX broadcasted in 2000. Very interesting to see now and to see the changes from 2000 to 2019

A very poor knockoff of WTTV/WTVR's Tribune graphics.

This is sadly owned by KHQ, so I would more blame KHQ than this station. They are just using whats available to them

News open of KINT Univision 26 from their newly introduced set. Yes the open is still 2013, but that might change in the future.
Is that it for the set..And are they Entrovision or an O&O of Univision
-
I dont know if this got mentioned, but KPRC is celebrating 70 years this year: They have added an interactive site on click2houston.com
https://www.click2houston.com/s/anniversary/2000s/2007.html (there is a menu bar to the left that can go through the different years.)
Also, the crazy part is that Bill is fixing to get to 50 years of broadcasting, with right now 47 years in the city of Houston.

ID Junkie has found a great station to bring forth.
I have to admit, the uniqueness of the talent that has gone in at KVOA is just crazy with a former Vegas anchor now at nights and former WWE announcer and color commentator (and now Podcast host) Sean Mooney in the mornings. Very different.

The WHDH-to-WBTS situation happened because of Ed Ansin's long-running feud with NBC. Hard to see that happening with KSL or KCRA, especially since the latter is a strong NBC affiliate.
I think in this case..considering that NBC is buying 2 Telemunndo affiliates it does not mean that KCRA or KSL have anything to worry about. KCRA is a Hearst station and very strong, and also probably has a strong group wide affiliation deal with NBC. KSL has been very strong and the other part is that NBC did have KUTV as an O&O for a minute before the deal with Westinghouse/CBS back in 1994 which swapped KUTV/KCNC/KYW to CBS for WCAU/WTVJ change of channel number and something else.

ID Junkie's compliation of WEAR-TV..even though its Sinclair..they have had some great stuff certainly considering how unique of a station it is.

Update: turns out KLAS was right to sit on the story. The accuser wasn’t credible.
So I guess..good job on KLAS for actually doing some investigative work on its own before airing the story

Add KLAX to the list of stations that knocked off the Hearst camera graphics. The open from a newscast from March 1998:
For them..that is surprisingly very good

Bombed badly on WEWS or in general. The numbers locally seem to do well.
Praise the font gods that Bank Gothic has been removed from many of the Hearst station logos. It was good the 90s and early aughts and conveyed some sense of urgency. But like anything it gets dated.
I didn’t realize how bad the font was in hindsight when I read an article about the Baltimore Ravens put up one of Michael Phelps’ medal wins after a 2008 preseason game.

Versus how it it appeared on the RavensVision boards in 2016:

Back to the topic at hand here’s an article about how TV consultants work. Not only do they to focus groups they analyze the Nielsen ratings to what type of story gets the most eyeballs.
Isn’t SNL Kagan the big TV consulting firm. There’s also a guy whose name I can’t remember who was involved with WSVN’s branding and now has a career in consulting.
Oh you mean my avatar..one Mr. Cheatwood who created the greatness of 7 News back in 1989. Sir..sadly Mr. Cheatwood works for a competitor now since Scripps wouldnt take any of my ideas. I'll show them. [end sarcasm]

WPTZ from 1997, including open
those are impressive for 1997 for a market that size. Signature fits so well here.

I think this one is not that surprising considering that David Crabtree did not move out of the anchor chair like many had thought he would. Wonder if he will go back to Cincinnati?
