    Repetition is pretty high, but it's not a canned loop at least.  All of the blocks have different content, and some have different top stories.  So it's a mix.  That being said I felt exhausted by the end of it all, so yeah.  They must be getting fierce competition from WPHL (and this is probably the answer to the question of whether Nexstar goes in-house with their news - they clearly have a good thing going)

     

    Here's a compilation of the new format.  Judge for yourself.

     

    This is reminding me more of a radio broadcast than a TV broadcast. It sounds like something you would hear on KYW News Radio.

     

    I know people have short attention spans, but this seems really rushed and unnecessary.

    It seems like 6 has either stopped using or has gotten rid of its personal StormTracker radar site (which was based in Warrington, PA). They've stopped referencing their "Live Double Scan" radar and only ever use the NWS radar sites using the MAX Weather System (their radar was controlled and presented on air with Baron software). I'm wondering if this was a pandemic cost cutting casualty.

    Funny you mentioned it because I've been noticing that. None of the meteorologists have used that radar during severe weather coverage or during normal newscasts. It's been the NWS one. I'm guessing they either couldn't pay for it anymore or it got damaged.
