    WATN in Memphis has been using the updated look for the last couple of weeks now. I'll post a compilation on my channel later this week. WATN WLMT - Updated TEGNA Graphics.mp4 WATN WLMT - Updated TEGNA Graphics.mp4

    KLRT/KASN was on that set for about two years before the sale from Newport/Providence Equity to Nexstar was completed in 2013 and all operations got moved to KARK's studio space inside the Victory Building soon after. So that's a little over a decade of continuous use & re-use between KLRT/KASN and WATN/WLMT.

    WDEF meteorologist Danielle Moss is leaving the station after recently accepting a job at WATN in Memphis. Her last day is tomorrow.

    This looks to be more of a remodel/refresh being done considering they're still doing news in the studio (for now) from a makeshift area on the other side. Removing the desk was step 1 in that process. Looking forward to seeing to what extent this makeover will actually go.

    In Memoriam

    TennTV1983 replied to jdcnow's topic in General TV

    I remember Jovita Moore when she was working at WMC-TV in the mid 90s. She even chaperoned a field trip I was on at one time in elementary school. A brief article mentioning her passing was posted on WMC's website earlier today: https://www.actionnews5.com/2021/10/29/former-action-news-5-anchor-jovita-moore-dies-after-battle-with-brain-cancer/ My condolences to her entire family.

    I've also noticed the flags have text in the corners that read "NEWS RIGHT NOW". Could be a hint about the news branding come Monday.
  7. TennTV1983
    Wouldn't be too hard to do, especially if they reverted back to their old ABC 5 branding in the near future. Here's a mock-up I made in under 30 minutes:
  8. TennTV1983
    Not entirely. Just some modifications were done for the on-air graphics while keeping the logo basically the same sans the whole WKRC copycat thing.
  9. TennTV1983
    I see. So, they're going with a WVEC-esque look now. Link to the story: https://www.localmemphis.com/article/about-us/local-memphis-and-local-24-becoming-abc24-on-september-27/522-1dd5ae03-80cb-47d4-8227-c123a5e42cd5?utm_medium=social&utm_source=undefined_janiceTVnews

    Meh. They only refinished the floor and replaced the monitors. Nothing else.
  12. TennTV1983
    No. WSPA's new set was done in-house, and has similarities to a few other Nexstar-designed sets that have rolled out over the last year or two.
  13. TennTV1983
    WMC-TV switched recently, as have KAIT and KFVS.
  14. TennTV1983
    So, a refresh on top of a refresh on top of a refresh. KYW is never getting rid of that set they've been on since moving to 1555 Hamilton. Are they?
  15. TennTV1983
    The setup they had was unconventional for a news operation to begin with. https://jhdgroup.net/portfolio/wjzy-news-studios/ That's not a knock on JHD Group though as they do some very good quality work (and did come back to put in a proper news area), but you should never make your news studio into one big lounge.

    WOI-TV in Des Moines went Full TEGNA as of this Midday, complete with a new logo: WOI-TV Local 5 News Midday Open (10-14-20)_mpeg4.avi

    That's why Annette Peagler said this was a soft launch tonight. They're still fine tuning some things.
  18. TennTV1983
    WATN officially switched over to the full TEGNA graphics as of tonight. Note: The live stream is currently down, so I can't record.
  19. TennTV1983
    That was originally given to Bob Sellers before he was shown the door two years later.
  20. TennTV1983
    It's this (as seen on KARK-TV and other NBC-affiliated Nexstar stations):
  21. TennTV1983
    WAVE created their current package themselves though. Makes you wonder why Gray hasn't asked them to run their graphics hub even after the fact.
  22. TennTV1983
    The KWCH/WBTV graphics would probably look great for WOIO to use.
  23. TennTV1983
    So, KTUL is back to being called NewsChannel 8 now? How long ago did they decide to do that?
  24. TennTV1983
    We do have at least four TV stations with "TN" in their call letters though.
  25. TennTV1983
    Why am I not surprised? I'm pretty sure FedEx has been guilty of using VNR tactics too.
