And NPG will take over operations of these two stations in 3....2....1
If that happens, that means that NPG will control every commercial station in the Bend, OR market.

I really hate KGW's new logo. It's like they put no effort into it at all.
-
Something happened: as seen from the FCC Broadcast Actions today, the three ComCorp stations to be transferred to Marshall were OK'ed to go to Mission.
Wonder why the change of heart?
Also wonder what this means for the Sinclair/Allbritton deal.

former channel 9 KMBC morning weather man Joel Nichols officially started today on channel 41 KSHB as the new co-host of their disastrous struggling painful-to-watch morning talk/lifestyle show Kansas City Live.

You never know. Maybe Joel Nichols is what that program needs. Seems like KSHB is profiting off of KMBC's fall from grace.

I thought KVUE was using the look in promos.
Texas would be interesting because that's a longtime signature theme... and Gannett has used Propulsion in the past.
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.
WFAA is too:
KHOU too (you have to catch it at the first split second):
-
It's too early to tell on the Texas stations (WFAA, KHOU, KENS, and KVUE).
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.

I am definitely one of the minority here, but I like the new graphics. I like being able to see what the story is, as I am one of those people that will have the sound turned down. Especially at work. I also like knowing the line up. I will look for the story I am waiting to see and time when I will be back to watch. The colors are a good idea, and I do agree consistency there needs to improve. KING is horrible about it. The ticker, yeah that could go. Never been a fan of those with any graphics package.
I think what it comes down to, you will never make everyone happy. I see on Facebook pages there are usually 20-100 comments after they go live with graphics packages, most are negative. A good majority of them are people that have made modifications to their TV and now the screen is zoomed - not Gannett's problem. But what you have to remember is, that is 100 people out of thousands watching. Most are indifferent, and some like them. And most of the time, you will only get those that complain to be the vocal ones.
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.
-
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?
-
I wonder what the Gannett graphics will look like on 24/7 (KTVB's digital subchannel), NewsWatch 15 (WWL's cable news channel) and TXCN?
Not sure about TXCN or 24/7 but NewsWatch 15 is basically reruns of WWL newscasts.
-
I miss the old vertical rundown on the left side of the screen.
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.
-
Someone pinch me. This has to be a dream.
Any bets that WCNC will rebrand themselves again?
-
At the same time, repealing it has very little effect because now, unlike then, ABC has a massive kids' cable presence. The CW, through its association with Time Warner and Turner, and CBS, through its cousin Viacom, also do. (Not so coincidentally those are now Litton territory.)
Media diversification and conglomeration mean that kids' programming on broadcast TV no longer makes sense because most of those households can get Disney Channel and XD, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, etc.
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.

Something tells me Katie Horner ran away from her employer who already fired her from KCTV.
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.

Sad news out of Atlanta and WSB TV. Herb Emory WSB traffic reporter stopped to help a car accident over the weekend passed away when he had a sudden heart attack.
http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/wsb-traffic-reporter-herb-emory-dies_b119167
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.

The Boston Herald has reported that WBZ has fired ND John Verrilli. Unsurprisingly, ratings are believed to be the reason behind the decision. According to the Herald article, WBZ is third (out of 4 stations) in the evening and last in the morning. Assistant ND Sarah Burke has been installed as interim ND.
My apologies for linking to the inexcusably s***** Herald site.

Didn't realize that WBZ was behind WHDH in the ratings. That's sad considering how lousy WHDH's newscasts are.

I don't understand why they feel they need to have two different content platform groups. Shouldn't Inergize be enough for them?
Doubt it. You would've thought that after they got Inergize they would've done that, but no, they just took the existing design and adapted it to the Inergize CMS. Which means someone within Nexstar really loves that layout...
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.
-
Shouldn't this be the bigger news?
Maybe they'll be able to make a website that's user-friendly and easy on the eyes for once.

I should point out that the examples I mentioned regarding KFOR and KOKH, sometimes these miscues aren't caught in time. Whole commercial breaks have accidentally been miscued and the stations don't catch it in enough time, causing you to miss part of a program. I would think there would be someone at master control to override the incorrectly insterted break before promos or commercials run through once they interrupt a scene mid-program.
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.
-
KOKH has sparked the inquiries of conspiracy theorists everywhere when it inadvertently cut into the premiere broadcast of Cosmos: A Space-Time Odyssey on Sunday (March 9). Video of the incident has gone viral, resulting in a lot of people theorizing that given Oklahoma's largely conservative ideologies (not to mention that KOKH's owner is the same one that preempted Nightline on its ABC stations when the program ran a list of soldiers killed in action during the Iraq War and ran specials scrutinizing Democratic presidential candidates), the station did it deliberately. As the story in the Los Angeles Times link below states, contrary to reports, the portion of the episode that was interrupted was not the only reference to evolution (directly or indirectly) in the broadcast.
As a person who has watched a lot of local television (we receive TV via antenna), KOKH's Twitter apology that this mishap was an operator error isn't far off. KOKH and KFOR-TV have blundered several times in running locally inserted commercial breaks when they were supposed to be airing a scene in a network program (KFOR has had these mishaps quite a number of times since the early 2000s at the earliest, though I remember this happening on KOKH a few times before, as recently as last fall). These kinds of errors doesn't happen very much with KWTV, KOCO or any of the other commercial stations in OKC.
KOKH will be rebroadcasting the premiere episode of Cosmos on Saturday at 7:00 p.m. local time, as Fox already had it scheduled to repeat that night.
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.

and KAUZ...(scroll to the 2:30 mark to see the KAUZ-ified WEWS logo.....)
Not only did they rip off the WEWS logo, they also ripped off the "6" of the WKMG logo.
-
Yeah the logo is a ripoff of KVUE, but I actually think the graphics package WTVA uses is syndicated. The same look has been used on
, and is currently used onand. Not sure who's responsible for it, though. It's definitely not a Belo ripoff.It may be a rip off of the WEWS/WVUE package because some elements of the WTVA version do look different.
-
(Another station trying to knockoff the Belo graphics and they stole the KVUE logo!)
It does look like a cheap version of not just that but the WEWS/WVUE package as well.
-
It appears azcentral.com will go live on Thursday.
Shame. I like the current azcentral layout and still can't adjust to the new Gannett layout.
-
Of course, it's WSYX. Just a week after they came up with
.Can't fault them for having a sense of humor. The funny part was that the newsvan's front headlight was out.

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.
