TEGNA Broadcasting and Digital General Discussion

The Grammys are on CBS tomorrow night...so I wouldn't be surprised if they get TEGNA-fied on their late news tomorrow. -
TEGNA Broadcasting and Digital General Discussion
jbnews replied to ABC 7 Denver's topic in Corporate Chat
I wonder if other former Tribune stations will start debuting the new look soon. I'm guessing the FOX affiliates would want the new look before the Super Bowl next Sunday. -
I streamed a little bit of What's New and (at least the part I saw) is pretty much Lunch Break...just at 5pm. The show itself isn't bad, it's just not what people want to watch.
-
I hope this is true. I bet there are going to be some other Scripps stations who ask for the same thing or get their own new look.
-
Totally agree. Who thought "let's produce a newscast for cities hundreds of miles away that are already competitive enough"?? Whoever did needs their head checked out
-
Some people also go to work/school later and could watch some of the show.
-
Okay this pretty much confirms TV3 is being totally redone, not just a small refresh. I have a feeling it will debut tomorrow night. I wonder what it will look like?

I don't know if it was supposed to be a "newscast". More lifestyle than anything else. -
I think it's really dumb how the morning shows aren't streamed live onto their streaming services which are popular amongst younger news consumers. Young people like me want content wherever they are. I'm not even home at 7am, but I would definitely stream Today if it was offered on NBC News Now. It'd be a great way to get more and younger viewers.
-
I doubt that will happen. Hoda and Savannah have really good chemistry and it's be beyond dumb for NBC to take Lester off of Nightly News when they are in the middle of a close ratings battle with WNT.

Even though I'm a fan of Tegna's innovation and the revamp of WKYC, I have to laugh that Lunch Break didn't even last 3 months! I liked the show...but I don't think it should be considered a news show, more lifestyle than anything else. Looking forward to "What's New"...Jay and Betsy make a great team! -
Surprised it took her this long to step down. She's becoming much more of a presence on weekday TODAY, not just in the 3rd hour, so she's on her way up!
-
I thought the entire send-off/close was kind of lame. No big crowds of people like they do for every other TV big-wig retirement? Maybe she didn't want to make a big fuss so they honored her wishes.

Did this just start? Anyone can answer this- but now that they are starting to use the wx graphics a bit- how long until the entire graphics package and music debuts on TV? -

I guess they'll be launching on-air sooner rather than later. The GM originally told me the look would launch after November (I interpreted it as December), then he told me March 2020. Wonder what happened. -
But a must-run like this is harmless...
-
Wow. I'm in total shock and I can't even imagine what the team at WFSB is dealing with tonight. She will be missed by many in the state.
-
Same here. They did a great job! Some still do graphics in-house. I know Lilly Broadcasting is working on a refresh to their existing package. That should debut in early 2020.
-
First impression: Eh. I feel like a lot of it has to do with WTXL's presentation and implementation of the look. The music is good, but I hope they have faster, more serious cuts. The graphics are okay (animate WAY TOO SLOW), as well, but could use some refinements. Is WTXL always this sleepy or did they change things up with the launch? I'm a huge fan of the Tegna look and sound, which I think was executed perfectly. I see where Scripps was trying to go...but they missed the mark. Hopefully things can be improved upon.
-
That's not entirely true. I read recently that WLTX is making big gains and quickly eating away at WIS 10's dominance.

Not sure about WBNS, but I've been told by a source at WTHR that they will switch sometime after this month. Sounds like the new look will debut in December. -
Found where they got their new graphics from...
-
Dang. Why did they eliminate his position? Are they going to replace him? Don't they need an anchor at 4, 5, and 6:30?
-
WJET/WFXP in Erie has named longtime weekend anchor David Belmondo as their new morning anchor. He replaces Traci Teudhope who left a few months ago to work at Erie's PBS affiliate, WQLN. I've noticed that WJET/WFXP seems to have a recruitment issue compared to locally owned WICU/WSEE. WICU/WSEE seems to have no issues recruiting good reporters. I have a feeling they pay a lot better so that might be why. They have not had any anchor changes in a while, however, over the summer they did move one of their morning anchors to the midday news (had a job posting for new morning anchor) only to move her back in the fall. I don't know if they didn't get anyone good, but they also got a new news director over the summer...
-
Yes. They did a REALLY good job. It's a nice look. The new Guardian updates are awesome, too, IMO!
