NBC already tried with Rock Center and that Megan Kelly mistake of a show. ABC would rather have Sundays be with AFV with people making fools of themselves than doing a newsmagazine with their "journalistic credibility". Besides they have their 20/20 True Crime franchise.

This to me is a huge downgrade given the great custom work the station has had throughout the years to avoid being cookie-cutters. Oh well, that the way the cookie crumbles (no pun intended).

the new 10 day at the top, their former below. Seems many stations are copying (or trying) the ABC O&Os.

And that's the way it is.

At this point, I really don't care. Simply, people are stupid. Enough said.

I read the entire VF article and to be quite honest and blunt, the CBS Evening News has been irrelevant since the retirement of the late Walter Cronkite in 1981, before I was even born. I had no care for Rather in the chair during the 80s, 90s and 2000s and no matter how many times they have tried to revitalize that flagship broadcast, it long since hit the iceberg and sunk. And that's the way it is.

I'll just put my two cents in. The misanthropic read—the honest one—is that this isn’t some grand betrayal of the public trust. It’s a system behaving exactly as designed. Maximize shareholder value, minimize cost, maintain the illusion of service. If local journalism was truly indispensable to the public at scale, it would have found a sustainable model by now. Instead, it survives in pockets—nonprofits, independents, the occasional stubborn newsroom—while the bulk of the industry becomes a content distribution network with a nostalgic costume. So, the Nexstar / Tegna deal isn’t a shocking turning point. It’s just another mile marker on a road we’ve been on for years, decades even. Fewer owners. Thinner newsrooms. Louder branding about “serving communities” paired with quieter layoffs and more syndicated filler. And the punchline? Most people won’t notice. Not really. The broadcasts will still look like news. The graphics will still spin and be flashy (or not). The anchors will still smile with that practiced urgency. The difference—the slow erosion of actual local accountability—doesn’t announce itself. It just… accumulates. Until one day, something really important happens in a town, and there’s nobody left to cover it who actually lives there. But hey—great margins.

He believed anchored at all the OTA NY stations except WPIX. True legend.

Same goes for WUSA 9 in D.C.

Here's the proof: Roseanne Tellez is latest casualty at Fox 32 Chicago after firing of Scott Schneider, executive producer - Chicago Sun-Times

When "MOD-03" Graphics first came out on WKRN in 2024, they were using a combination of Gotham and Monteserrat.

It's now the New Coke of network broadcasts.

The music sounds like what I would hear on CBC News in Canada.

Seems he's working freelance for now after leaving The Weather Channel last April.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but recently 6 of the NBC Tegna stations (KARE, KPNX, KSDK, WCNC, WKYC and WXIA) have gotten new music (finally ditching C Clarity, thank God!) along with new opens, and transitions and updated L3s.
