  1. Good time for another branding reboot too. Hopefully Gannett sticks with this one.
  2. Especially considering that just a year ago, it was 0%.
  3. You must really hate the Ft. Myers-Naples, FL market then. The only ones that doesn't use their cable positions in their branding is WINK wnd WGCU. As far as WCNC is concerned, I don't care what the branding is as long as they stick to it for more than 2 years. They're worse than WGCL at that.
  4. If that happens, that means that NPG will control every commercial station in the Bend, OR market.
  5. I really hate KGW's new logo. It's like they put no effort into it at all.
  6. Wonder why the change of heart? Also wonder what this means for the Sinclair/Allbritton deal.
  7. You never know. Maybe Joel Nichols is what that program needs. Seems like KSHB is profiting off of KMBC's fall from grace.
  8. Looks like KVUE is starting to use the same mapping software that the Gannett package uses. I think it's only a matter of time now. http://www.kvue.com/story/news/local/2014/07/07/police-are-investigating-a-report-of-an-attempted-child-abduction-monday/12320865/ WFAA is too: http://www.wfaa.com/sports/football/cowboys/Construction-starts-on-new-Cowboys-HQ-in-Frisco-266147441.html KHOU too (you have to catch it at the first split second): http://www.khou.com/video?id=266031941&sec=548217
  9. I would've thought that WFAA would be the first of the bunch to get it but then again, KVUE already has the Gannett website layout. Could be anyone's guess.
  10. Definitely a step up from the pile of garbage that was the last Gannett Package. Gaudy is the word that came to mind when I saw it, and adding the "Run-Down" on the side just made it look even more junky.
  11. I was in the Springfield, MO market and noticed that the 10 minute newscast that Fox affilate KRBK has graphics that seem similar to the Fox Tribune ones. Anyone else think they look similar? http://www.foxkrbk.com/
  12. Not sure about TXCN or 24/7 but NewsWatch 15 is basically reruns of WWL newscasts.
  13. I was the opposite. I couldn't stand the "vertical rundown" on the left side of the screen. It made the screen looked all cluttered and junky. I like having it on the bottom of the screen now instead.
  14. Any bets that WCNC will rebrand themselves again?
  15. Yeah you're right. Remember, when this law was first passed, ABC's Saturday Morning programming consisted of Disney Channel reruns and CBS's Saturday Morning Programming consisted of Nickelodeon reruns. The CTA sped up the process but cable television channels targeted toward children made Saturday Morning kids programming redundant and a dated relic.
  16. Actually she's been commuting between Kansas City and St. Louis every week. I didn't even realize that but I can understand her getting tired of a long commute like that every week. But who knows, maybe Meredith buying KMOV had a part in it too. http://www.kansascity.com/entertainment/tv/article475820/Meteorologist-Katie-Horner-leaves-St.-Louis-station-returns-to-KC.html
  17. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family as well as the entire WSB team. He was well known in that market and traffic reporting in Atlanta won't be the same anymore.
  18. Didn't realize that WBZ was behind WHDH in the ratings. That's sad considering how lousy WHDH's newscasts are.
  19. Good point. I also wonder if this means that station groups like Hearst will need to find another website designer or if Nexstar will allow them to keep working with IBSYS.
  20. Maybe they'll be able to make a website that's user-friendly and easy on the eyes for once.
  21. They were lucky to stop it after the first commercial. I think it was toward the tail end of that program too so that extended break could've gone on for a few minutes in one of the most crucial parts of that program. I remember watching it and thinking how beautifully done it was.
  22. Oh Sinclair! Actually I do think it was a miscue of some sort. I'm actually going to give them the benefit of the doubt on this one. An incredibly stupid miscue that should've been caught before the whole commercial ran-through, but a miscue nonetheless.
  23. Not only did they rip off the WEWS logo, they also ripped off the "6" of the WKMG logo.
  24. It may be a rip off of the WEWS/WVUE package because some elements of the WTVA version do look different.
  25. It does look like a cheap version of not just that but the WEWS/WVUE package as well.
