ABC 7 Denver

The design is over simplified big boxes with little detail, 1 font and 3 colors.

This is such a "Look what we made in PowerPoint" kind of package.

I think this would put former FOX O&Os in play. KDVR and KTVI, especially. KWGN and KPLR can be run through LMA by Fox, since they rely on the same news department and would satisfy a non-beard spin off.

This is a long-awaited reversal of Borkian Philosophy outlined in the book The Antitrust Paradox, where he insisted that monopolistic practices that harmed consumers would be sorted out naturally by the Capitalist system.

The viewers too. Let's be clear. If we see what I hope are many unwinding of side-care LMAs, the viewers will be the winners. This entire mass consolidation of stations has been awful for the viewers of local news. I know that these groups try to sell us synergy, but that doesn't work in local news, unless you are shutting down whole departments and consolidating their operations, but that's never good for local ad sales and local news. You can see this in the grocery industry as well. Kroger's ownership of all of their stores is a disservice to the vendors and consumers. Their stores, regardless of state, look, sound and sell all of the same things. There's nothing local.

It looks better for NYC and Raleigh, but not for WLS.

I still think the KABC package circa ~2012-2013 is great. It could work effectively with the ABC 3 dot redesign. https://hothauscreative.com/kabc-graphics-package

God, I hope not.

The former KMGH AND and I speculated that this might be the case.

Looks like a Raycom graphics throwback.

Death of cable maybe. Don't know how this will kill off broadcasting though.

This looks better than Scripps, which is saying something about Scripps

Not according to my friends at Nexstar.

Ratings drive ad revenue and that drives profits. They are taking revenue from their local stations, none of which are #1 in any market, and using it to fund NewsNation. I guess, if you don't give a crap about the content, sure, it's successful. By that metric, Scripps using AI and few responding to it could be classified as successful, because it brings in a profit. Who cares if the community is getting anything out of it, right?

You could have offered some commentary like, "Looks to be conjecture" or similar.

So you're just taking the spin at face value. Remind me to never put you in an investigative role.

Where do you see that NewsNation is turning a good profit?

What was to be gained by blowing up WGNAmerica?

Have we known Nexstar to make smart decisions: i.e. NewsNation? No.

Let me guess, WGN 720 will be rebranded and called something like WANN for We Are [News Nation] or something equally useless.

Sure. But it's like saying calling NBC Comcast because they own them.

They are using Gari, not Warner Chappell Production Music.

So are you saying that if Fox News was subscription streaming only it would equate?

Retransmission fees are subscriptions.

Hardly anything since Fox News gets away with literally everything.
