    I swear to God if I see another set with a desk shoved in the corner I'm going to SCREAM!

     

    It's the new IN design. Put news staff in corners so they feel the impending collapse of the industry.

    Dang that's a shame, it's an ok set, maybe an update would have been ok but not a complete overall!

     

    This is what happens with Nexstar stations. WTTV, KDVR and now KXAN gets a new set but refuses to pay their creative and air staff what they are worth. This tells you all you need to know about the group. They care little about people.

    KXAN is on the current set for the final time they are currently on a temporary set while a new one is built.

    Lame. This set does not look dated in the slightest.

    Nexstar buying The CW?

    Exactly, If Nexstar was smart (I don't think Perry Sook is BTW). They would do 2 things after buying The CW. 

     

    1. Move all of NewsNation's entertainment programs to The CW and Turn The CW into a rebirth of WGN America. 

     

    2. Make NewsNation a full time NEWS Network on subchannels carried by its own Stations/ CW Affiliate subchannel Stations. 

     

    If Nexstar does this then you could have both the entertainment aspect of The CW and your Full time news network with NewsNation (and NN would get much better ratings because it would be on a broadcast subchannel). 

     

     

    I see Perry keeping whatever programs are contractually obligated by DWB and Paramount as part of the sale (for however many years per sale contract) and the rest being local news and NewsNation programming, eventually converting the network in-whole to NewsNation Local and the cable-channel into NN+. Once again, Perry is not a smart man.

    I could have given you a copy without my logo on the top right but oh well.

     

    It didn't look right with the stations image at the time and it doesn't look right now. It belongs in the dumpster it came out of.

     

    The same dumpster that this graphics package belongs in?

    Tim Dadabo. I completely agree that he’s awful.

     

    Rey did indeed design this.

     

    Holy sh*t. It's beyond me how he could be this awful. I seriously can't imagine. I was so sure he wouldn't be this bad, but then I saw the poorly ramped text and I had an inkling that I was sadly wrong.

    Looks decent…for 2010.
    Maybe it’s just me, but imho both the graphics and music are a downgrade from what they replaced. They both look/sound well past their expiration date, and they just debuted. If only Tribune’s creative services team was kept…

     

    What do you expect for a package that's almost 12 years old?

    His timeline is 10 years according to the article.  Short term his focus is on owning local stations.  The reality is, unless someone is part of any negotiations, no one knows what will happen to the CW.  Until then its speculation coming from cookie crumb tidbits like that Sook article.

     

    You can see how well that's going with all the money they're dumping into NewsNation.

    ABC changing their logo; New graphics coming for ABC owned stations

    Note to TEGNA: This is how you do flat graphics well

     

    TEGNA did not DO those graphics. They RFP'd design firms and those came from Troika. At the time, Troika had laid off most of their designers. Therefore, instead of anything original to meet TEGNA's needs, they recycled graphics designed from an advertising campaign for another client. I'm certain that TEGNA paid out the nose, regardless, for recycled mediocrity.

    I’ll go as far as to say that the outgoing package looks better than some of the newer graphics packages being churned out by Gray and Nexstar.
     

    That said, the new Wx graphics look fantastic. If they are a harbinger for a group-wide package, that will be a welcome development, especially for WABC and other stations with aging/less than stellar graphics.

     

    Funny you should say that. The outgoing graphics were created by Ruth Dial, former partner/cofounder of Giant Octupus' and Nexstar's graphics creator (at LinearDrift) Rey Rodriguez.

     

    These new graphics have been 3 years in the making, created by Vivid Zero, a subsidiary of the clueless media consultants SmithGeiger who have no business owning a graphic design firm.  Principle: Michael Vamosy (formerly of Stun Creative)

    See, the problem I have with believing this is, Warner doesn't produce or own distribution rights for every single CW show. What about the ones that originate from CBS, as well as any future CBS owned pilots in the pipelines? Those wouldn't go to Paramount? I'm hesitant to believe that this is the plan but then again, this has been speculation for months and we've never heard any official announcement. Besides, Warner would have been out of owning broadcast networks a long time ago had CBS not agreed to merge UPN with the WB. CBS at least owned some of UPNs stations. Most of the WB shows worth picking up would have likely jumped to UPN or TNT.  Paramount could easily run the CW (which may or  may not be renamed) by itself. 

     

    Honestly, based on all of the shutdowns and spinoffs that WBD has done (paring down content for TBS, TNT, selling off TMZ, Telepictures gradually putting out smaller output in general, among other things), I think it's only Warner that wants out of CW and not Paramount. Heck, by now, I'm expecting the announcement that Fox is buying the rest of Telepictures. But that's for another thread. 

     

    I think we're basically in a wait-and-see at the moment. David Zaslav and his team are doing an assessment of their assets. So it's going to be a slow roll for now. We know that Paramount is interested in selling their position in the CW because Paramount itself may be looking for new owners. Sale of the CW, for Paramount, helps their books look better, as does basically shuttering the London bureau. Also, having a long-term production contract with whomever buys the network looks good for Paramount's sale. However, because the CW is owned 50/50 by Paramount and DiscoveryWarner, there's effectively a 2-party consent rule for whomever buys out one or both owners.

     

    My two cents is that I think David would be in a good position to buy out Paramount and sell a minority stake to Nexstar. I think the DiscoveryWarner catalogue is so big with mixed programming opportunities, that there's enough to flush out a whole first-run network and partner with Nexstar to develop network news programming on the CW, helping Nexstar find their footing with NewsNation and stabilizing CNN. Both cable networks are in desperate need of help and this could give them that opportunity by relying on each other.

    I know this is probably a lost cause considering Fairbanks is one of the smallest markets in the nation but when on earth is Gray going to do something with KTVF and sister station KXDF?? Seriously they've owned the stations since 2017 and have yet to do ANYTHING, no new sets or graphics yet KTVF is using the WMC graphics for weather, heck both are not even in HD yet!

     

    Unlikely they'll do anything.

    Still looks way better than literally every single Gray package in this thread. WOIO is the only one even close and that was technically made pre-Gray even though it debuted after Gray bought them.

    Although I will say, even the current Meredith look isn't as good as this was, such a shame this got dropped after only 2 years 

     

     

    Oh yeah. Ironically, Matt worked on this too.
