Overall, nice set and graphics. I just think the rings look too similar to what "Today " has, even Newscast Studio commented on the similar graphic tones: https://www.newscaststudio.com/2020/09/21/gma3-what-you-need-to-know-redesign/

Happy to hear TJ is joining GMA3! Both he and Robach should be the heirs of GMA in my opinion whenever Robin or George decide to move on eventually, they both work great together. New logo on the promo, and I'm guessing new graphics (or slight adjustments) come next week: https://www.instagram.com/p/CFSDNnoBVDY/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Aww, I LOVE they brought back the old theme.

I agree, there was no need for a new logo, the circular one that they have right now still works. Feels like one of those unnecessary logo changes that companies get too often these days. Is there a need? Probably not. Is someone making money off this change? Most likely.

Yeah, the new logo just looks too plain for me. I found the other two more marketable and their designs had more personality. We'll see, it really depends if it comes together with the new graphics. ET is reporting that Sara Haines will be broadcasting live from the studio, so we may see some enhancements on the set.

The View formally confirms that Sara Haines is back, they will also unveil a new logo for the new season.

I wonder if there was also budget for redoing the set had Covid not happened.

Yay!

I certainly feel like there will be a television subscription bubble. Yes, there's so many that are popping up, but people will not paying for the 20+ subscription services all at the same time, it simply defeats the purpose of cord-cutting and I feel like media companies have failed to realize this. The ones that will stay alive are due to default: Netflix because it is the original, Amazon Video due to people wanting Amazon Prime for 2-day shipping, Disney+ because of Disney/Marvel/Star Wars, and possibly Hulu since they have a little bit of everything on there. But all of the others are in trouble: Quibi is pretty much DOA. AT&T/WarnerMedia already kicked out executives in correlation to HBOMax having a lackluster subscription start possibly due to branding confusion: Source: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/bob-greenblatt-kevin-reilly-major-warnermedia-restructuring-1306486 . I see what you mean, I do like context too, but you do have to realize consumers usually want things conveniently on-the-go or free. As for NPR, their funding is similar to PBS: grants from foundations or business entities, contributions from listeners like us and sponsorships.

I see what you mean but a subscription model would not work at all. Just ask the newspaper and magazine companies and their dwindling subscription audience. People are not going to pay a monthly fee when they have the opportunity to find the information free elsewhere. Sponsorships and ads are revenue areas that will always be featured in the tv news industry to keep programs afloat.

I don't see this as a Titanic situation. What exactly do you expect them to do? Local television has been evolving with the times and I think many stations are being very strategic with their futures. People continue to watch local tv news basely for the human connection, they connect to the story because of the reporters and anchors. They can interact with talent on Instagram and on Twitter to get a more personal connection. Local stations are the connective tissue to many communities in terms of mass communication. All of these shenanigans do add up to what the 'tv-news experience' is all about. If it's mainly just for context, the audience will just simply go to Google for the news or ask Alexa what's the weather outside. Even with all the fluff that we all criticize about ABC News and NBC News, their audience still remains loyal. These free apps are actually useful for those have a Roku or have decided to ditch a monthly cable subscription, which is a huge group of people. It's all about harnessing technology to their benefit, The Titanic situation rests mainly on cable and satellite companies these days, they dug their own graves.

It's shrinking but the audience is going elsewhere, that's why the media companies are investing on the free apps (CBSN, ABC News Live, etc..), that's how I'm getting my news these days since cord cutting. It's sorta neat to watch WABC or WPIX live from San Diego on my big television screen, same thing about watching ABC World News Now live at 10pm Pacific Standard Time. These companies need to embrace the future or else they will fail. I hope Nextstar brings their stations up on these free apps, would live to see KTLA on the big screen. As for CBS Evening News, I'm in the same bandwagon with those who wished Jeff Glor was given more time to make the show his own, he was on his way there when CBS leadership decided they wanted change. The costly Norah experiment didn't work and won't work, the move to Washington D.C. seems very pointless. For me, it doesn't seem like the brand means much to CBS, just look how they gave up on the weekends and replaced it with a very low budget production. I'm very curious if the merge with Viacom will change things again for their evening format. Like someone said earlier, the evening new format ain't dying, ABC World News is the most watched show currently. People are tuning in and ABC News has proven to have gotten the formula right in terms of content and talent that the audience appreciates.

At the very least they would need to announce where Sara Haines is going, they owe her some sort of announcement.

True, but they still need to create some sort of resolution and announce that the evolution of GMA3 continues.

I think ABC News knows that they have to walk on egg shells about announcing the cancellation of SSK, a show presented by two African American leads. Having Keke present her thoughts publicly is part of the process to ease the sting. They're also probably figuring out where Sara Haines will land within the ABC News family (many on social media are hoping her to come back to The View). They are probably still fine-tuning what the permanent look of GMA3:WYNTK is going forward too. Once they know these answers, they will will probably address the cancellation.

Aww, the best part was that I was able to watch live and rebroadcasts of PIX news via Roku from San Diego. It's a pity Nextstar and Tegna stations do not embrace Roku as a streaming platform, that's where their audience is heading; even indie KUSI can be seen on Roku now.

With Disney now having majority ownership of Hulu, I wonder if soaps can find new life on streaming, even with a half-hour format. They can have it premiere on ABC then have the episodes available on streaming.

Yeah, that was the problem. SS&K didn't really add anything new, the hosts had good chemistry but there's just so many other alternatives out there that the show pretty much gets lost in the shuffle. I'm still surprised that The Chew didn't get a revamp.The show had enough uniqueness to stand out from the crowd. All the show needed was a couple new hosts to spice things up, I. do wonder if ABC has been thinking to bring one of their primetime classic game shows to daytime, seems like an easy move with their relationship with Fremantle.

Interesting. I wonder what the hosting format will look like, will they keep it the same with Amy as primary anchor or make it a duo or panel show?

TJ is definitely great, I wish they gave him a permanent role on the GMA team or somewhere on ABC News. He and Amy do work really well as a pair. Wouldn't mind seeing Sara back on The View, she was great on there. Yeah, I wonder how "GMA3: What You Need to Know" is doing in the ratings? Does anyone know? I do like this iteration of the show, it does feel like World News Now in the Afternoon, there's definitely more substance and a more informational tone that I highly welcome. With what's going on right now in the world and with so much uncertainty, I don't really see the silliness of SS&K coming back anytime soon. The more serious tone can easily delve into topics like politics and the election cycle, as well as jobs and the economy. The flaw that ABC News had with this hour was that GMA Day originally felt like a knockoff on Live with Kelly & Ryan and SS&K just felt like they were trying to be a panel version of Ellen. Aww, it's Josh Elliott before he burned his on-air career. He was quite popular with GMA viewers at the time. If he stayed at ABC, there's no doubt he would have been the third anchor on GMA with Robin and George.

The graphics have finally made it to San Diego. On-air, they are finally adding their network affiliation as part of their spoken branding: "ABC 10News", prior to this, they've been simply called "10News" since the 90s. Not really feeling the tone of the graphics at all, oh well. The set's lights and colors really need to change to comply with the new graphics but I doubt that will happen.

Gosh, so much celebration over a poor graphics package...are we anticipating new logo and a new set as well?

The late Christopher Reeve's son goes pants-less during his segment. Whoops. https://tvline.com/2020/04/28/reporter-no-pants-good-morning-america-will-reeve-video-abc/

During the 10pm newscast on the app, they are using old Scripps graphics with the new logo...

Watching the 10News app right now and it seems like they are using the new graphics...

Sounds like Popeye's lady:
