I still miss that Rock Center studio.

Same here… the OG Rock Center, not the bastardized later version

WAXN suddenly has the room with the cancellations of The Doctors, Right This Minute and Judge Jerry.

I’ll be honest, I completely forgot about “The Doctors”. Does anyone know if there was correlation between the pandemic and viewership?

Here's KGTV's L3.

I do like what they’ve done on the left side of the ticker 

KSHB has switched

Saw this on their stream a few nights ago

KSHB has new weather graphics.... don’t know about news as of yet 

I just don't understand how KSHB has not launched yet!?! They've been airing promos for weeks and no switch yet. This rollout is damn interesting

Any news on the “new package”?

JD Rudd will be leaving KSHB it seems. Pretty bad loss for them too. JD is easily one of the best in the market.

Where is he heading?

KSHB Creative Services Director was arrested on July 4th for domestic battery, but the show went on without him for a promo shoot they recently had. Unlikely KSHB will report it, but it's likely a new position will open up over there..

Just saw the Promo during olympics coverage. Looks very nice and it seems that they are going with a new slogan. Gone is "breaking news leader" and in is "clear complete coverage" or something like that. In my opinion I'm glad BNL is out it was getting old and tired. Hopefully they debut a new color scheme when their graphics return from their Olympic placeholder ones.

Well that was fast...and...convenient. Massive changes are happening at KSHB.

 

Mike Marusarz, who just joined KSHB as the new primary male anchor for their 5, 6 and 10pm newscasts just last month, has a new co-anchor at 5 and 6pm...his wife.

 

Rhiannon Ally, who used to work at KCTV before she too moved away with Mike, will now anchor the 5 and 6pm newscasts with her husband. She replaces Jadiann Thompson, who anchored the 6pm. Thompson left the station last week for WHDH in Boston. However, the real surprise is that she's replacing Christa Dubill at 5pm.

 

Christa Dubill appears to have gotten a demotion and now co-anchor The NOW KC at 4pm with Justin Wilfon. Christa Dubill is arguably one of the most annoying, sometimes self-centered, anchors in Kansas City, and has had moments where she's been rude to her co-workers on air.

This makes me really uncomfortable for some reason... Also I would like to see them mix up the 3 (Mike, Rhiannon, Christa) or at least see christa on the 10pm broadcast.

This is a bit random but who designs Nexstar's sets?

Speaking of graphics FOX 4 in KC is looking like they are in the process of switching to Tribune gfx. Their Coming up tonight graphic resembels that of Tribune but no sign on their website.

THV 11 has on their website that they will be debuting the new site on 2-25... KSHB in KC also debuted a new site today a much needed improvement for them.

When will tribune roll out its look (graphical, website) to local tv?
