I never really noticed that... You're right though. I really need to get some video up...

Will they still get chopped off the screen?

I believe they still have the same set now, but it's been heavily refreshed. Would be nice if they would at least get a new desk that doesn't scream 80's...

I think Fox requested the app be dismissed. They have no need to purchase the station now because IIRC they renewed their affiliation with KCPQ.

That was put in by some guy who really wants to see Antenna TV on one of WOAI's digital subchannels... Before Live Well announced its closure that article said Antenna TV was on 4.3... (WOAI has never had a 4.3 though) Disregard it unless we hear official confirmation from them...

Not sure where you are getting WOAI airing Antenna TV from... No station here airs it.

GM John Koski and ND Ken Jobe are gone from WHBQ. Cox wants to bring in their own people (of course)... http://ftvlive.com/todays-news/2014/12/1/longtime-memphis-gm-and-news-director-out

Nobody. I'm so glad you're not in a Sinclair market, so you don't have standing to complain about them. By no means are they a quality broadcaster, but don't hate on them just because they're the biggest. And the FCC is not content with letting Sinclair take over everything, Sinclair still has many pending apps.

That's surprising. I expect Nexstar to cheapen the station (for instance, ditch their news chopper. Nexstar hates choppers) and plaster the word "local" all over the place.

Holy crap, they really rode MCTYW into the early 90's? Damn... (yes I know about WPVI and WKBW but I kind of consider them in a different class) It might be 1998 because they had their current "23" by then. And they rode that slogan well into the mid-2000's. You would probably know better than me but I think they ditched the slogan the same time they went HD (for "The Next Generation of News"). WIFR has always seemed to have an outdated feel to them. They never got the stock Gray set. Their current set . It's kinda hard to watch their newscast honestly because the set so obviously wasn't designed for HD which severely limits the shots they can do...

Actually this news isn't that surprising: Graham Media Group Buys SocialNewsDesk http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/graham-media-group-buys-social-media-startup_b134441 Considering all of Graham's stations already use it and it was created by a former EP at WJXT, this acquisition makes sense.

QNI must have made up with ABC by 2001 when they bought the Shockley group. Also, where's the 1991-1999 dates for WIFR using the PYCCO theme coming from? I highly doubt they rode that theme well into the 1990's....

Looking at WCCO's history they didn't seem too big on syndicated pkgs until after CBS took control. The majority of their stuff before then was local. They had a couple Mayoham packs and the Wow & Flutter theme but they didn't begin using a Gari or 615 theme until after CBS took control.

I really want to know who made their 1983 theme.

I bet CBS had a say in this. Remember they're buying WQAM and they also own WFOR. They probably don't want him working on their competitor and likely told him to choose between TV and radio. It wouldn't surprise me if they addressed Adam Kuperstein soon enough as well.

I have a feeling Nexstar will do this with Comcorp because that deal is moving like molasses...

I hope KENS won't be running four subchannels. They've got CBS, Estrella TV and VIPIR 5 Radar currently. Methinks that the radar feed will get the can to make room for this new channel.

IIRC correctly KIII has four subchannels already. ABC, Me-TV, MundoFox and Cozi.

So, apparently WMC has a three anchor morning newscast now. Why?

KVDA and the Fresno station are no longer listed on ZGS's site so I think you are right. However they are still using Hola Cuidad as their website so it must've been very recent.

There's no open up for KFOX but I found a promo posted 4 days ago. The amazing thing, KFOX is still using Scott Chapin. [yt]1hjSL_eB0jE[/yt]

Yeah there's three potential designs they're looking at. If you scroll up we talked about KTVX offering similar survey.

Yeah, they also switched away from John Young to Jeff Laurence. I have their open but it's a bad capture. I'll retry tomorrow for better captures using my software that doesn't put a watermark on the video because I paid for it...

I hope KSNV follow suit. I looked at their current gfx, when and why did they mutilate Look F so much? I think they're a rare example of a station I would turn away from solely because of the graphics. That's how bad they are.

They don't work now, they won't work that way either. I want them to update it so that way the graphics do not get chopped off on my screen but that won't happen. The mentality of these designers and most of the people here is watch it in HD or watch it with black bars hogging up screen space. The reality is the majority of viewers have ol' reliable tube TVs and I want the entire screen filled without information getting chopped off. Even Sinclair's new package is designed a lot better than Gannett's. It'll be interesting to see how the stations here will adopt them when they do. It wouldn't surprise me if they change the web address away from myfoxzone.com. First off they're leasing the domain from Fox. Second I never understood why that's their web address to begin with. Yes I know that's what they began using under Bayou City but it really needed to go when they went to news. I know they need something generic to accommodate the two stations technically in two DMAs. So let's see what Gannett cooks up for them... Also I saw Molly Garrity transferred from KREM to KIDY? So, is she replacing Jenna Rogers or something? I think Rogers has been gone for months. Also I don't get why you would move from a decent sized market like Spokane to San Angelo, but to each their own, right?
