    Looks like it's just a picture of the set in the rear monitor, right?

    https://nypost.com/2021/12/10/tegnas-talks-to-sell-tv-empire-for-8-4-billion-hits-roadblock/ A couple of highlights from this article I found interesting: Seems a little odd, if true. Right.......

    Agree. I would think the target demo of TWC viewers would want to see this type of coverage, whether they live in the affected area or not. It's why they are tuning into a niche channel....

    Brian Williams anyone? Kidding....

    Wow. Interesting format. I will say the 10 minutes are good 10 minutes. But I don't see most people sticking through more than 1 or 2 segments considering the repetition. Are they hoping to train viewers to tune in at any point in the hour to get all the news the need without feeling compelled to start watching from the top of the show? If I were them, I'd have at least 2/6 of the 10 min blocks be substantially different so that viewers who do want to watch more than 10 min, actually get something out of it. But hey, if they find this works, good for them!

    I think the way it works is that if an entity is approved to buy a public company, all the current shareholders are forced to sell so the new owner owns the company 100%.

    I bet they "designed it for mobile"....

    It's not a complete overhaul. Non-news junkies wouldn't immediately notice a difference. It's just an evolved look for some various graphic elements. I've already seen some of the "updated" look on KGW.

    They posted a 360 tour of the studio on their Youtube.

    Move timeslots or leave MSNBC?

    That looks like their playlist had the wrong source or satellite wasn't tuned to the right spot.

    There are multiple Tegna stations that have been running out of the Charlotte hub for a while now. I don't when it opened but I don't think it's new within the past few months. There were plans for additional stations to switch over to it a year ago but they got delayed and didn't switch until recently because of COVID.

    I don't think that should have led the show, but whatever. I'm actually more curious about the security guards. I'm not familiar with their building but Google street view makes it look like it's a standalone facility. I can understand a large shared building having security, but private security just just for a station? Is this the norm in the top large markets? A temporary things?

    And they aren't lowering the price....

    I don't follow LA too closely but am curious, in what way is this a "get" for KTTV? Because she was popular years ago at KTLA? Were other LA stations clamoring to hire her or was KTTV the only one interested? Was KTLA even interested in getting her back at all or have they "moved on"?

    I've watched some of the LA choppers night time protest coverage on Youtube and have been really impressed with the quality, clarity, and brightness of the cameras at night. Must be expensive special cameras compared to other markets.

    I don't say this much about people, but he is one of those very old school anchors who has not changed with this times. I wonder how the anchors get chosen. CBS or station's choice? BTW, does anyone know how the production actually happens? Does CBS staff produce the show remotely and then send the content (video/graphics/script) to the local station to load into their system and then produce out of their control room? Or is just a studio camera feed from the station sent to a CBS control room and then the show is assembled there?

    For anyone that cares, KGW got the new website design today.

    Can someone explain why/how Soo Kim and Standard General board members would benefit Tegna? I've heard each sides take, but I'm not educated enough to really understand what is going on. Can anyone here give an impartial summary? Seems like many here have a feeling of not liking the direction of Tegna, so any new board member is good....? Or is there something specific Soo Kim/Standard General can bring to the table?

    There may be a tinge of truth to this, but I'd love to hear women's perspective. Maybe as a society people have a subconscious preference for the way we'd like to see a woman appear on TV, and this comment is a manifestation of that. I'm not saying the preference is invalid or not ok, but I've never seen anyone comment on this site about any male anchor not smiling enough.
  21. PTVNews
    Wow! A stage manager!
  22. PTVNews
    Interestingly, looks like Tegna has wiped clear their job postings. Only 2 are listed when there are usually dozens. Wonder if it's due to COVID-19 or the acquisition attempts? https://www.jobs.net/jobs/tegna/en-us/all-jobs/

    Here is an example and explanation of KGW's "social distancing" at the start of their 5pm show Monday. They have also ditched their usual 7pm entertainment show for a half hour of responding to viewer questions. They have this new thing as well where people can text in questions to their newsroom phone number.
  24. PTVNews
    Really? What about WCSH/News Center Maine?
  25. PTVNews
    Are these actual Tegna templates or in-house knock-offs? I haven't seen these exact looks before.
