TEGNA Broadcasting and Digital General Discussion
mike91 replied to ABC 7 Denver's topic in Corporate Chat
If they had a strategy of buying high performing FOX stations in large markets, I could certainly see it happening. However it is not and Miami by virtue of the conference of their football team does not fit, therefore it won't happen. -
Long time WCNC investigative reporter Stuart Watson was fired http://charlottemediascene.blogspot.com/2015/01/wcnc-parts-ways-with-long-time.html#comment-form

Starting January 12th, WRAL will have a 4pm newscast on WRAZ

Thank you! Was getting ready to say this.

Much needed as they just lost Ashley Batey to WTSP and Kelly Franson and KIRO

Maybe they are going to do it alongside an HD launch a la KTVB. The real question is when is KHOU going to get the new gfx? -

I'll give him six months and he is gone.

WETM has debuted their new logo and Look F (I think that's right, may be wrong) and they are now in HD as well. http://www.mytwintiers.com/video/d/video/local-police-train-with-narcan/5226444 Not too shabby for market 174

There is also the possibility they might not do any graphic launches this month because of sweeps. -

I wonder if WHAS will be going HD with the graphics launch. Also, if the trend of one launch a week on Wednesdays continues, all the Belo stations will have the graphics by August 27th. -
Bingo. My thoughts exactly. I like the branding "WCNC News". It feels more local and less corporate than "NBC Charlotte". Although if they do keep NBC Charlotte, they should get a new logo that is cleaner. The font on their logo reminds me too much of WCCB's.

Someone pinch me. This has to be a dream.

I don't think there is a date. That video was posted a month ago, so it's kinda weird to me that they haven't done anything yet, but then again they could be waiting until after sweeps to make changes. Not sure, but KING5 in Seattle has promos with a version of the New Gannett graphics (I'm pretty sure they haven't had a graphics change since 2007, so I would think that they would have priority in getting the new graphics). I don't think KVUE being previously owned by Gannett has anything to do with them being first, though. -
Could be, Dion Lim is obviously exempt from that because she went to WTSP. But then again, Belo treated WCNC like shit, so maybe Gannett is making changes there.
-
They've only had control of the Belo stations for just under 4 months now. Going HD isn't an overnight thing. Gannett has to have it in their plan for them to go HD soon (I would hope). So weird to say it, but it's not even their biggest problem as of late. They seem to have an employee turnover problem. Their GM, ND, Dion Lim, Kellie Patterson, and now Meghan Danahey all gone within the past few months (there may be some I forgot, but you get the point).

WCNC has a new interim news director, Ron Bilek, who has worked at WSOC, WBTV, and WXIA http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2014/04/04/4815658/on-nova-duke-expert-analyzes-how.html

Might have missed this then: http://forums.tvnewstalk.net/index.php?/topic/13505-woio-new-news-set/

Their GM left at the end of the year, I wonder if that's related to this? (I know the article said that it wasn't due to new owner, but who knows). Could be some changes there in the future.

I'd like to see them make a set out of sand on the beach. I have seen enough ice sets. This winter has been brutal.

For the websites, considering heritage Gannett is in the middle of a transformation, I would assume that the changes would be rather soon for the Belo ones. -
EDIT: A couple of Charlotte stories Dion Lim from WCNC is headed to sister station WTSP per her Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Dion-Lim/146674682074805 WBTV is starting a 7-9am news AND an 8pm news on their subchannel http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/charlotte-station-to-expand-news-on-digital-subchannel_b112279

According to her FB page, Tera Blake, the AM meteorologist at WCCB is leaving for another job (up north, but a couple of her recent twitter follows were WEWS personnel, so maybe there) https://www.facebook.com/TeraBlakeWX/posts/613904455322729
