  1. That looks like a blue-and-gold variant, which I wouldn't mind seeing WMC-TV use down the road.
  2. Ellis' arrival comes as Brittney Bryant is leaving the station and news altogether. Her last on-air appearance was this morning.
  3. That logo is taking a page (somewhat) from its sister station WCTV in Tallahassee.
  4. Their current logo is a nod to the last one they had under Jefferson-Pilot's ownership prior to Raycom's purchase (albeit is not quite the same):
  5. News Central was also something Sinclair attempted to do at all of their stations during the mid-2000s.
  6. Gray needed somewhere to park a future Telemundo feed in that market.
  7. This is how you give viewers whiplash, ladies and gentlemen.
  8. I think Comcast/NBC is doing this in large part because of the potential fallout we're likely to see with Bally Sports' looming bankruptcy. They smell blood in the water and want in.
  9. Wow. Just ......... wow.
  10. The proper term is "infotainment". Think Better TV under Meredith.
  11. How bad is it over at KCTV, ratings-wise, for them to cycle through so many NDs in over a decade?
  12. I haven't heard this version of News Series 2000 before.
  13. Ads have already started running in affected markets with a Nexstar-owned CBS station:
  14. I would suspect other station groups will do the same, especially now that election season is over and with market uncertainty being the way it is right now. You either cut back on spending enough to weather the storm until things get better, or at worst do rounds of layoffs.
  15. Nice guy, and a very good move up for him too.
  16. Per Twitter this morning, former WATN/WLMT reporter & sports director Marcus "Doc" Holliday has been hired by WMC-TV to take over as the station's sports director - succeeding Jarvis Greer, who is retiring at the end of the year.
  17. Interesting that this happened right before their new set was supposed to debut.
  18. Yes. WREG and WATE were the first two stations to roll out the new website format. I believe @KentBrockman made a mention of this over on Discord a while back.
  19. The new couch setup replaced the corner desk area in the main studio (first picture in the slideshow). https://www.clickspringdesign.com/portfolio/twc-studio/ Before that, the second half of America's Morning Headquarters was done from a small table and two chair setup in front of the 4x4 video wall.
  20. 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
  21. WDEF meteorologist Danielle Moss is leaving the station after recently accepting a job at WATN in Memphis. Her last day is tomorrow.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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:
  25. 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.
