  1. CNN has picked up on the Allen story. It's nice to see the comments and reactions are extremely negative.
  2. 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.
  3. Well...what was the video for those that missed it?
  4. They do weather from the backyard all the time.
  5. 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.
  6. Mentioned in the Sets & Studios section, this is only temporary for the week has they have work done on their main studio.
  7. 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.
  8. Man, it sure would be nice if we could get some of these archaic cable folks to retire like the local legends are
  9. 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.
  10. Tegna is eliminating weekend meteorologists, weekend sports anchors, and investigative units at several stations.
  11. That's not a Nexstar decision, it's a Fox 56 decision.
  12. 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.
  13. To be fair to Tegna, they've really backed off of the edginess compared to when they first came into existence.
  14. I had the same thought. The viewer...doesn't care.
  15. Not starting a new thread over it, but KUSA has adopted the new open first seen on WXIA.
  16. 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.
  17. I like it a lot. It's a nice refresh of what they had before.
  18. It gives me hardcore sailor vibes with those giant wheels
  19. I promise you reporters are in the building more than you think, and they certainly aren't going to a Starbucks to work on their stories.
  20. I'm more shocked that $10.5 million came out of WDVM? Or am I misinterpreting and it's $10.5M from all Nexstar NBC affiliates of which WDVM was (not) one?
  21. Kind of mentioned before, but now CNBC has an article on Allen Media being tens of millions of dollars late in payments to NBC, ABC, and CBS. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/16/byron-allen-draws-abc-cbs-and-nbc-ire-with-late-payments.html
  22. It's ultimately just a slogan. Many last place stations will claim they're the "first source" or "most trusted source" or whatever.
  23. Big fan of that cut of C-Clarity and hope it's part of a refreshed music package. Also a big fan of that new open. Looks like the TANK has really stepped up its animation game.
  24. Flew under the radar, but Tegna's First Coast News has debuted a new 1250sqft studio. Their website has a time lapse. https://www.firstcoastnews.com/article/about-us/first-coast-news-unveils-modern-innovative-new-studio-design/77-ca0f6dee-457b-4e0a-b1b1-5eb0ab0d99fb
  25. That's a bit...dramatic.
