  1. RTM (Malaysia's state broadcaster) has since replaced those graphics as part of a group-wide rebrand.
  2. Eh, I'm glad it's just image branding. When I see that design I can't help but think they renamed the network, as the "F" is so overly stylized that it looks like a "V". "You're watching Fox Vox!"
  3. With television manufacturers and station groups starting the switch to ATSC 3.0 ("Next Gen TV",) the newest version of the U.S.'s digital television standard, I thought it would be prudent to start a thread about which stations have rolled out ATSC 3.0 transmissions. This thread is similar to the old HD News Thread from back in the day. The switch to ATSC 3.0 in the United States is voluntary. Unlike the analog-to-digital switchover (and more like the HD switch,) the switch to ATSC 3.0 is intended by both manufacturers and regulators to be more market-driven. As a result, there will be no mandate for new TV sets to include ATSC 3.0 tuners and no subsidy program for ATSC 3.0 equipment (like the converter box coupons from the ATSC 1.0 switch) will exist. Notably, ATSC 3.0 signals are not subject to the same must-carry rules for pay TV providers as ATSC 1.0 signals. I'll try to keep this post as up-to-date as possible, so feel free to reply with any updates or suggestions! ---- Markets that have active or experimental ATSC 3.0 stations This list also includes stations that are undertaking trial broadcasts. Raleigh-Durham: WRAL Phoenix: KFPH-CD, KASW Dallas: KSTR, KTXD Las Vegas: KSNV, KVCW, KLAS, KTNV Nashville: WTVF, WKRN, WZTV, WUXP, WNAB Orlando: WRCF-CD Pittsburgh: WPGH, WTAE, WPNT Portland: KPDX, KPTV, KATU, KGW, KOPB, KOIN, KRCW Santa Barbara: KSBB-CD Salt Lake City: KUTV, KJZZ, KTVX, KUCW Austin: KXAN, KBVO, KNVA, KEYE Oklahoma City: KOCO, KFOR, KAUT, KOKH, KOCB Washington: WJLA and WTTG are planning to run an 8-week trial of ATSC 3.0 - no start date announced yet Station groups that have announced ATSC 3.0 deployment plans Some of these groups are acting in concert with other groups to launch ATSC 3.0 services.

  4. Your link is redirecting me to the Nostalgia subreddit.
  5. I hope that's not the final logo too. Even by C Clarity-era Tegna logo standards, that's just lazy.
  6. No, the entire clip is part of the newscast. The first few seconds is the intro to a short "NHK News" bulletin, not a network ID. I don't even think Japanese TV stations do hourly IDs, they only ID themselves at startup and closedown.
  7. Nothing. Lists are still banned per the site's Guidelines:
  8. Click "Unread Content" at the top right of the page.
  9. Drove by WAGA's studios today without even noticing it. I always forget they're not in Midtown Atlanta with the others. :classic_laugh:

  10. Not necessarily news-related, but TVNewsCheck reports that WAGA will launch a new half-hour entertainment show called The Georgia Scene starting July 20. The show will run for a 8-week period as a "summer preview show".
  11. I wonder how much of a difference there is in style and content between ABC News and ABC News.
  12. Hopefully, the ABC News staff will give us a reason to not use that name anymore.
  13. I don't necessarily think WXIA was first in this nonsensical "day by the numbers" thing, but they certainly popularized it. They've backed off quite a bit from 2012, but they still use the Wizometer, much to my dismay.
  14. What the heck is up with that cut of This is Home? Sheesh...
  15. Nah, I'd prefer something similar to, say, or even . Not too simple, but not remotely flashy either. I actually dislike quite a few GO and Hothaus packages (especially Hothaus ones) for being way too flashy and "shiny".
  16. Fun fact regarding the Time Warner Cable News launch in San Antonio...this is the second time that TWC has attempted to launch a news channel in the market. In 2003, TWC launched "News 9 San Antonio" for their cable viewers; unlike its Austin partner, which would eventually last through the YNN years and is still here today, the San Antonio channel was a flop and folded by 2004. It is interesting to see that TWCN Austin will handle most of the content to start before a gradual move to an entirely local operation. Maybe TWC wants to reduce startup costs and potential risk, as the Comcast merger is looming over their heads and Comcast has made no indication about whether TWCN will continue if the merger is approved. Whether TWCN will continue post-merger would make for "interesting" speculation.
  17. Yeah, Chroma Cues itself is not the problem at WJZ: it is an institution. That being said, the graphics they have...I have to agree with Ntropolis, even the music can't save those. At this point, almost anything would be better graphics-wise at WJZ. As for the WKZX open: well, first, the moment I saw the ID and it said "Cooksville/Middle Tennessee," that was a sure sign that what I was about to watch would be unbearable. I was mostly right; it wasn't quite "unbearable," but it was absolutely awful.
  18. Well, it looks like the "A GANNETT COMPANY" tag isn't gone forever....
  19. WTF? Didn't Gannett just launch a new website design in 2011? Gannett must have a lot of money lying around to go redesign websites this often.
  20. Actually, WKBW , initially for their late newscast, in the final months of the Cinemagic package; the same year they brought back the "Eyewitness News" branding, complete with ugly graphics! I do agree wholeheartedly that WKBW needs to be cleaned from top to bottom like WPTY/WATN. If WKBW actually wants to be serious in the Buffalo market, they don't need a refresh, they need to tear down the building and start over (yes, this is a mild exaggeration, but you get the general idea.)
  21. WKBW has always struck me as a "yucky" (for lack of a better term) station. The ABC logo completely ruins what little dignity this logo had, so a redesign is in order. That being said, KGO/WABC style circle 7's are becoming way too common among ABC stations nowadays. If WKBW was to adopt a circle 7 logo, they'd have to make it unique or risk having their logo be another clone of all the other circle 7 stations out there. And for Buffalo's sake, WKBW needs to do something about those awful graphics! Their last decent graphics package is from when, 2003?
  22. The hell was that?! Ah, the cheesy 90s....
