    I'd be fascinated to learn the whole story behind this. The description provided a little backstory.

    Please don't give me this nightmare. Efficiency. It's far easier to man severe weather coverage from the station. Plus, if the power goes down at meteorologist's home, well.... Locals will still know the region much better. I also feel they would better keep the audience attention too.
  3. MidwestTV
    It is. Can confirm WAVE has ditched their custom look of a year after the upgrade. Apparently there's still some customization with it (mainly weather it looks like), otherwise it's the standard Gray look. Don't think they're too happy about it.
  4. MidwestTV
    Did WNT just update their open? looks different, but I haven't seen their open in quite a while.
  5. MidwestTV
    That new WAVE look gives me serious WPTV 2008-9 vibes (still my favorite open of all time).

    Finally. Is that everyone now? I always thought they poorly implemented the V2 look. Actually looks pretty decent. Virtual set, let's be clear. The only real thing in their studio is the old weather center and I believe the desk. The news fantasy part of my mind was hoping Scripps would give them some real digs, but the chroma studio lives on.

    I highly doubt Baron is crying over it. Maybe disappointed (if they even knew), sure, but it's business. We don't know if they sought out Baron or not. If they did but EEC offered a better deal then of course that's who they'd go with.

    Radar instillation in more than 900 countries worldwide eh? Impressive. One for each nation and then some. Misspeak aside, I can't imagine this was a cheap endeavor. I'm most surprised they got the OK for not one, but three personal radars.

    Surprised no one has mentioned the bug is completely opaque rather than semi-transparent. It looks much, much better that way. (personal opinion that their '3' logo is something KMTV should adopt)

    Home base is lit weird. The logo up top is poorly lit and that whole structural element almost seems CGI, probably because it's only lit from the bottm. The camera is crooked, too. Opening shot should have either been tighter from the start or wide then push in. Just my two cents, I'm not the director.

    Non-TV stations, so places like their corporate office.

    It means that market is likely about to die and probably not a fun palce to work. Another triopoly + 1 market. See: Topeka with Nexstar's KSNT/KTKA/KTMJ and Gray's WIBW.

    In another video message to employees, CEO David Lougee announced that work-from-home guidelines will remain in place until at least January 4, 2021. This means that employees who can work remotely and don't absolutely have to be in the building (i.e, sales, promotions, etc) will do so until next year. However, on-air talent may be allowed back in the building on a market-by-market basis depending on what the COVID numbers are in their respective locations. Some other notes include: -85% of employees completed the company survey -everyone will get a $100 UberEats gift card -non-TV station buildings will be modified with COVID in mind and then they'll be required to come back to work in January -people who want to keep the option to work form home after the January 4th date need to talk to their immediate leaders

    What a horrendously distracting severe weather set up.

    In Memoriam

    MidwestTV replied to jdcnow's topic in General TV

    KCBD meteorologist Kelly Plasker has died. I have heard that she took her own life.
  16. MidwestTV
    Nice touch with the mountains in the background. Adds a bit more depth. A suitable color scheme for Colorado, really, given how cold it gets.
  17. MidwestTV
    They're all largely unchanged, just a few minor edits. Nothing radical.
  18. MidwestTV
    Really up to the individual stations if they want to bother downloading them. Not a hard-fast requirement. Mainly the tropical icons were updated along with a few other updates and a couple new ones.
  19. MidwestTV
    Updated icons had been in the works for months. They finally became available a couple weeks ago.
  20. MidwestTV
    Let me also add that I think KMTV horribly utilized the package. Just seems like clunky and messy usage. It's a topic for another day, but KMTV is in bad need of an overhaul.
  21. MidwestTV
    I mean...that isn't exactly a new idea. Gannett used to have the rundown plastered on the side standard in the early HD days. WHAS does a quick "in the next 5 minutes" blurb during their 11pm as well.

    The old MTN look was a bad design simply because the 't' looked more like a lower case 'L.' It read more as MLN than MTN.
  23. MidwestTV
    And this board generally tends to hate everything, so I'm not surprised

    Tegna announced today that they'll recognize Juneteenth this year as a paid holiday.

    Some people swear by Mark, but I swear he's getting more...eccentric...as he ages. Maybe he's better to work with, but on air it seems like you'd need a lot of patience.
