    A meteorologist shouldn't be calling the hub to tell them to get on or off the air at all. If there's severe weather their focus needs to be on the weather. A producer, manager, or director should be the ones calling the hub (and frankly there should be a producer in the booth during extended severe weather coverage anyway). However, given how poorly staffed and inexperienced many newsrooms are nowadays I wouldn't be surprised if some mets in some markets have had to take up that responsibility as well.

    Doesn't WCAU have an infamously small studio? If they still do then there's only so much they can do with the space available.

    How does Gray have any money to buy Cox?

    Glad they kept the music.

    Ben Pine is stepping down as chief meteorologist at WHAS this Friday. Mallory Schnell will replace him in the evenings. https://www.whas11.com/article/news/local/whas11-chief-meteorologist-ben-pine-stepping-down-new-leader-mallory-schnell/417-eeb1d3e7-e7d6-46f7-850f-540ea68eb00f

    It's ridiculous how THRILLED I am they FINALLY expanded the lower thirds to be 16x9.

    I might have personally enjoyed Peter Alexander more as successor, but Tom is fine. I think he's clearly supposed to be NBC's version of David Muir - perennially young-looking handsome man that exudes confidence

    Yet World News Tonight still has those archaic, squished 4x3-minded graphics (well, the lower thirds at least).
  9. MidwestTV
    That's pretty crazy. My first thought is if it has to do with that Kamala Harris interview. Article mentions that too.

    CNN has picked up on the Allen story. It's nice to see the comments and reactions are extremely negative.
  11. MidwestTV
    Allen Media is letting go ALL local meteorologists at ALL stations and looks to hub local weather forecasts out of the Weather Channel in Atlanta.
  12. MidwestTV
    Well...what was the video for those that missed it?
  13. MidwestTV
    They do weather from the backyard all the time.

    At least they appear to have an actual (but very dark) weather center in studio now. Not a fan of those angled peacocks either. Would've looked better on the desk if they did what some NBC shops do and split the peacock in half. Speaking of the desk, it's overall an improvement from the standard Tegna desk that was the horribly awkward three-arm round shape.

    Mentioned in the Sets & Studios section, this is only temporary for the week has they have work done on their main studio.

    There's a LOT more depth in the DBL studio compared to the main studio. Talent over there just sit in front of a giant LED wall with close up shots of downtown which eliminate any depth.

    Man, it sure would be nice if we could get some of these archaic cable folks to retire like the local legends are

    What a bizarre 7 day. No specific numbers, except for Wednesday night and Thursday? Everything else gives them a massive 10 degree range. And what exactly are 0s/-0s? Do they mean single digits? That should be 1s.
  19. MidwestTV
    Tegna is eliminating weekend meteorologists, weekend sports anchors, and investigative units at several stations.
  20. MidwestTV
    That's not a Nexstar decision, it's a Fox 56 decision.

    I'll be curious to see if this benefits KLKN at all. As it is, there were technically two ABC affiliates in the same market and KLKN/NTV ended up competing with each other.
  22. MidwestTV
    To be fair to Tegna, they've really backed off of the edginess compared to when they first came into existence.
  23. MidwestTV
    I had the same thought. The viewer...doesn't care.
  24. MidwestTV
    Not starting a new thread over it, but KUSA has adopted the new open first seen on WXIA.
  25. MidwestTV
    That's pretty solid. I dig it. Nice use of textures, monitors don't feel over the top, and it has some warmth too it.
