That is amazing they would do that...Tribune and Hearst must have worked out a deal there. I figured that KFOR would have been filled in by a sister station (most likely KFSM) first if the entire news team is away.

An "arcade claw" will never fly in Oklahoma. Most who do weather there have to have high-level meteorology training (and it can't be learned on the job either), or they would be laughed at.

On her Facebook page, many are blaming Disney/ABC for the move, not understanding that they don't own the station...
-
Scripps does have mostly low-ranked stations in their markets...most of them seem to be 3rd or 4th place stations, which may explain their financial performance.
-
If Scripps decided to turn around and sell, who would buy them? I don't think any company can absorb them whole...
-
Could KAIT put CBS on 8.3? If Tribune wants to protect the area, they might want to put up a satellite station in Jonesboro...although out-of-market satellites are quite rare, and the presence of the satellite would split ad dollars.
-
Being a "weather anchor" does not help your resume these days either though...although she does have seniority on her side.
-
Last place stations are most likely to do things like that. They are often seen as a quick opportunity to jump into a big market...
-
Can Media General run a cleaner slate than Scripps though? I agree though WTVF is in a terrible position - it is regionally isolated from most of Scripps' portfolio AND a CBS affiliate for a company that has never had good relations with that network. Nashville is weird with so many "black sheep" stations with their owners due to all these acquisitions.

Speaking of Hearst, has any work been done at WJCL yet? I'm guessing it gets a new logo as well.

Regarding West Palm Beach, hasn't WPBF been catching up to WPTV?
-
I thought WPBF was catching up to them?

TEGNA Broadcasting and Digital General Discussion

The new WWL logo looks like a blast from the past - resembles heavily their 1988 logo. -
That sounds quite silly in my mind, since that is a HUGE market downgrade for the same job...

I think the full logo (bottom left) is most likely to proceed. It also matches the Gannett websites as well (easy to shape it to the smaller header when scrolling down) and the infamous words "A Gannett Company" can fit directly underneath as well. -
I guess those stations weren't valuable enough to get another buyer to scoop them up, since the outside date had passed.

One of the few markets to see a complete overhaul with no Sinclair in sight...
-
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but I noticed KALB (and its DT2) have new logos, and I believe new graphics as well. All traces of the Media General legacy are gone now.

I wonder what ex-London station(s) will be first to get the Gannett on-air and web graphics. I would think it will be sooner rather than later... -

I would think the ex-London stations should see changes starting in October if they get all the ex-Belo stations finished by then (which appears likely). -
Sinclair Broadcast Group - General Discussion
GoldenShine9 replied to Smitha A's topic in Corporate Chat
The New Age deal is hitting the closing date soon though? -
It makes me think...Las Vegas may not be done with changes. We generally agreed KLAS will be for sale soon, and there have been aborted sales of that station. Is Sinclair going to try to add a fourth station in Vegas? Or does someone else try to get it?

Corporate General Threads and How to Use Them
GoldenShine9 replied to Smitha A's topic in Corporate Chat
How should the "little guys" (i.e. smaller companies) be treated? Since they will garner far fewer posts and less frequently but may get some attention - as long as they don't sell. -

GoldenShine9 replied to Smitha A's topic in Corporate Chat
I believe KSDK had called in sister stations to assist as well; I know they called in Faith Abubey from WFMY at least. Not sure if KPLR/KTVI has called up from other Tribune stations, although WGN isn't too far away. -
Outside the US I notice degreed meteorologists are rare in local news...
