    This tickles me a little bit. - Is it Nexstar? Is it McKinnon!?
  2. ABC 7 Denver
    I mean my CBS O&O does the neighborhood news format too.

    1. They will merge KSWB and KUSI newsrooms and buildings. Be prepared for layoffs. 2. They'll probably use the Nexstar ABC package. 3. This is the end of The One and Only. The second to last station to use it and they'll switch to SAM.

    Sale to Scripps, you mean.

    CMG to keep it with WFXT.

    Vivid Zero is managed by the Principals of Stun Creative.
  7. ABC 7 Denver
    It was designed by Smith Geiger Vivid Zero who designed the rest of the ABC look.

    No dots?

    You do know that dimensional is a very small package, right?
  10. ABC 7 Denver
    I'm 100% certain. Dimensional isn't a robust package.
  11. ABC 7 Denver
    Most stations won't use this, though.
  12. ABC 7 Denver
    A piece of metal.

    Are you new to local news management in 2022? Amateurish is the standard quo now.

    That's not an excuse for the size of the logo. WAS. MY. POINT.
  15. ABC 7 Denver
    And yet this somehow looks much better.
  16. ABC 7 Denver
    Sure, if you want a ton of dead space.

    CBS didn't develop this strategy. One of their local stations did. Could that bug look any more disproportional?
  18. ABC 7 Denver
    When have you seen a TV group invest in that at all in a thorough and effective way?
  19. ABC 7 Denver
    CBS isn't looking to expand in Texas or Colorado.
  20. ABC 7 Denver
    KCNC in Denver is going a similar route, branding itself as CBS News Colorado. Though I'm surprised considering they don't do a great job covering Southern Colorado, the Western Slope or Northern Colorado. Calling KTVT CBS News Texas makes even less sense. CBS doesn't have enough resources to cover all of Texas. Should have stuck with CBS News DFW.

    Theoretically, but it's gotten so much into analysis and commentary. It's not news! It's Public Media on Cable in that case. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO PAY ATTENTION TO?! What am I looking at? What am I supposed to hear? The awful vamp? The voice over? Those graphics are too distracting. Is this a newscast or a sizzle real for a ad agency?
  22. ABC 7 Denver
    Odds are that they eventually spin this division off again.

    Stations haven't invested in digital-first infrastructure to take advantage of streaming. And the fact that they only push linear content, not developing a microtargeted news platform is part of the overall trajectory issue of this industry.

    To stream a newscast? Ha! No, it is not that costly at this point, especially considering how much stations are paying for affiliation and syndication fees. If you run it with ads, you can significantly offset the costs. I'd argue that this move by Nexstar is a shortsighted plan because they're effectively laying their own demise. As station groups ask for more money from retransmission fees, the cable subscription costs increase to compensate, decreasing the demand and driving up the retransmission fees, creating a no-win game for groups like this. In the attempt to drive dividends, they are not paying down debt (only the low interests rate) which will come due soon and force Nexstar into administration. Even once the Nexstars of the world are gone, the cable industry won't recover. It's a downward spiral and Nexstar is harming their viewership by not providing up to the minute information, especially as viewers have less access to local news.

    They are doing that to get you to pay for Cable to watch it live, to make those retran$.
