Guessing a lot of the staff isn’t working from home either? Guessing a lot of the staff isn’t working from home either?

Looks like WDKY has a nexstar looking school closing ticker.

Cool. Hopefully some different sub channels down the road.

Anything going to change with the new owners of the divested/INYO stations?

I believe it took WDKY a week to get the Nexstar closing animation back in the fall, but then again it's market 63, not 1.

Yep, and the website has both as of now.

I really hope some of the older Gray stations get an update, but most likely won't until the ALL the Raycom stations get updated. WYMT has had the same look since 4/2014 and WKYT since 9/2015

Ah yes. Don't miss that combo anymore. Now we just have Morris left in Lexington. Hope that changes soon lol but WDKY went dark around 7 last night. At least Nexstar is giving WDKY an antenna upgrade, from directional to non directional to improve their coverage.

WKRN graphics look nice! Really wish the ABC logo and 2 would swap places though.

WDKY-56 now has the nexstar website: https://foxlexington.com/

WLEX open in 1994.

Has an in-house/gray look.

CINCINNATI – The E.W. Scripps Company (NASDAQ: SSP) will expand its commitment to Michigan audiences early next year by producing its own local newscasts at WSYM, its Fox affiliate in Lansing. The introduction of local news operations at WSYM builds on Scripps’ footprint across Michigan: its three markets reach approximately 81% of the state’s TV households. Scripps also owns WXYZ (ABC) and WMYD (MY Network) in Detroit and WXMI (Fox) in Grand Rapids. WSYM previously aired local news from WILX, the NBC affiliate in Lansing owned by Gray Television. https://scripps.com/press-releases/scripps-station-expands-news-operations/

WDRB-41 anchor is leaving.

Good! Can't blame them for that haha. They were supposed to get the new sinclair graphics back in the winter but then nexstar take over happened at the end of January so that cancelled that.

Nexstar should own them within 30 days, right? Officially on closing day. Can't wait to see curves go away, but who knows when Nexstar will give WDKY a new look. Took WKYT awhile to implement the current graphics.

Pretty big deal for WLEX. https://www.lex18.com/sports/bbn-tonight/lex-18-named-official-tv-partner-of-uk-athletics-uk-sports-network WKYT had this for around since the 70's.

Could use some new graphics too...

I couldn't locate a Morris topic anywhere, but looks like Morris has launched a new site for some of the stations. WTVQ, WDEF. https://www.wtvq.com/ https://wdef.com/ WWAY at this time has the old look.

WYMT Close 1993. This is what happened at the end of the newscast on WYMT's second set. Getting ready for a new set. The female anchor was carried off the set and staff started to cut the background out.

Some clips of WKYT, WLEX, and WTVQ from 1993.

WYMT 1991 11 PM open And a 6 pm version.
