I see that, and I raise you WJAX/WFOX's new graphics package.

A follow up on this one, Kozak's final day at WMC-TV was September 24th. Replacing him on weekends is former WTOK weatherman Nick Gunter, who was recently hired by the station.

Reminds me of Bill O'Reilly's infamous rant from his Inside Edition days. And of course, the internet had a field day with this:

Per the Memphis Commercial Appeal, former WREG news anchor Richard Ransom has been hired as the new main anchor and managing editor at crosstown rival WATN. His first day on air is September 25th and replaces Brandon Artiles, who will continue to anchor the 9:00 news on sister station WLMT. http://www.commercialappeal.com/story/news/local/suburbs/2017/09/14/richard-ransom-returns-moving-local-24-anchor-desk/664084001/

Oh yes. I remember this type of set as WMC-TV had a similar one in the late 80s/early 90s.

Dawn Davenport is leaving WKRN after ten years as a morning anchor and reporter. Her last day at the station is Friday. http://wkrn.com/2017/08/08/dawn-davenport-to-leave-news-2-after-10-years/

They didn't post July numbers last year either.

WKRN's Samantha Fisher anchored her final newscast tonight. She is stepping away after five years at the station to focus on being a full-time mother. http://wkrn.com/2017/08/04/samantha-fisher-anchors-last-show-at-news-2/

Possibly, but it depends on who buys WKNX from Lockwood. Nexstar and TEGNA are possible, but so is Raycom.

That already exists. It's called RT (Russia Today), which gets just as much criticism here by some in the corporate media - if not more - as Al Jazeera (aka the "terrorist news network" as people call it).

They look a bit like the lower 3rds you would see at a Raycom station minus the bugs on both sides.

Those graphics look terrible, even by Nexstar standards.

I think that's where MSNBC failed on this particular endeavor. Apart from the stigma you mentioned, the addition of Greta felt so sudden.

Yikes! Forget about moving in some time in the fall. At this point, WCAU would be lucky to move into their new home in time for the 2018 Winter Olympics.

I know WTVF in Nashville never went with doing The Now after it became a Scripps station.

You would think they would at least fix the rebroadcast scheduling for their primetime shows (Hayes, Maddow, O'Donnell, Williams). Is there even a need to air reruns of The 11th Hour twice at 2am and 4am Eastern time?

In all honestly, they should've dropped the 4:3 safe zone spacing with the recent graphics update.

The only thing about those cities you mentioned is they are all capitals of their respective states, which creates a complex situation in states like Alabama where Nexstar doesn't even own a TV station in Montgomery.

So did KFXK: http://www.easttexasmatters.com/video?videoId=729923433 I'm curious to see what KETK's new news open looks like (both stations are using Stephen Arnold's "Extreme" by the way).

To be fair, you have Nexstar stations already doing stuff like that anyway. Whatever it takes to get more ad revenues, I guess?

Doubt it has anything to do with Tribune's pending sale to Sinclair, so it was likely for personal reasons that he didn't want to disclose at this time.

I knew something about that headline didn't pass the smell test. The day ABC/Disney decides to buy more TV stations (which they won't for reasons that have been repeated over and over again in this forum) is the day broadcast television becomes obsolete.

Looks like a downsized version of the roundtable desk they use in that studio.

I don't know when this happened, but all of the Scripps station websites have new headers now that are smaller than the old ones.

Guess the next question to ask is this: Does Nexstar only use Comscore numbers?
