I noitced that KTVK/KPHO recently switched their weather branding to First Alert Weather... I also so see WGCL did too.. is this a requirement for the former Meredith stations?? I see WNEM has yet to change (and they can since it isn't used in the Flint market)

I don't quite get the podcast-like presentation... graphics are meh... it works

On Wednesday, WOTV rebranded from ABC 4 Women to ABC 4 West Michigan.  They are taking the focus off of women and making it more community based... I hope this works better for them... ABC 4 Women was absolutely stupid...

Yay! Low standards.

The only reason I brought it up is we've seen many graphics/branding/set updates with various ABC stations and using that as a chance to switch it over and fail

 KMID got the KOIN graphics recently and that 2 logo reminds me of WBBH's or WKRN's old logo.

At least they used the new ABC logo

Are all the CBS O&Os getting this "First Alert Action Day" look?

The following are conflicts of interest with NBC First Alert Branding:

• KNBC/KCBS : Los Angeles
• WBTS-NECN/WBZ : Boston
• WCAU/KYW : Philadelphia
• WTVJ/WFOR : Miami

I think we can all agree that change is hard to accept, whether there's good intention or not... it's like the local grocery stores.  They're constantly remodeling, moving things around, etc... Everyone hates it, but eventually gets used to it or decides to go someplace else... I think this is a good example of that..

I do like the blue variant of these graphics... 

it's basically what WWMT got last year

Is Nexstar revamping website layouts?? Ohio stations WDTN and WCMH have different layouts than the current layouts.

Only a matter of time before the same thing happens with WOI.

I'm not so terribly sure, seeing that they tweaked the logo post-nexstar acquisition... why would they waste time and money doing so again??

At 4:00 they were in the new studio. But still old FOX graphics and FOX46 branding. Maybe they did have last minute change of mind. We'll see. As for the studio, so far it has a big monitor wall behind the desk with what may be a live cam pic of the Charlotte skyline. Need to see a bit more.

I did notice during the weather segment that the radar and futurecast maps have the Lato font that the Nexstar Packages are using...

No, they didn't. The package they're using is 5 years old. They keep intermixing that with graphics from the 2013 package and the CBSN package. It's a branding mess. It shows your audience that you are unorganized and as it bleeds into the journalism, the audience senses that the stations aren't doing their best coverage.

 

gotcha -- would this explain why WFOR and WJW hasn't switched or "blended" what other stations have been using??

Any word if or when CBS O&Os will debute new graphics? 

They just got new graphics -- I highly doubt they'll get new ones anytime soon

Makes me wonder if KNXV will get a new logo

KHON in Hawaii got the KOIN graphics today

So out of curiosity how many Gray stations have yet to switch?? I know WILX in Lansing is still using the previous Gray package

I wonder if WXMI Fox17 was hub in Indy when Tribune owned them and once they became a Scripps TV station moved to WRTV.

 

I think it be smart for WZPX to try and get the subs of Doozy & Defy on Charter Spectrum & Comcast even if it's .5 & .6 unless they move them to .2 & .3 move the double Katz networks down. I know Fox17 is adding Doozy & Defy as well you could put one them on the .2 and move Antenna TV kinda surprised their is no double that network since Nexstar owns Antenna TV.

Yes WXMI was hubbed with WXIN/WTTV until the switch to Scripps

WTVY is revamping their look on Thursday.  This includes a refreshed logo, new graphics and a refreshed set.

 

https://www.wtvy.com/2021/03/01/wtvy-introduces-new-branding/

 

Graphics-wise, they have a similar package to the one that's about to be replaced at WSAZ, and their set is about a decade old, and is one of the standard-issue Gray ones from that era.

 

I'm sure any updates will also extend to WRGX, their low-powered NBC station.

Looks a lot like Nexstar's WIVB -- even the weather branding

Laura was at AccuWeather not Weather Nation. Also she was at KDVR for 3 months. It was brief. When she was offered AccuWeather, she couldn't pass up the opportunity to move to PA.

That's what I meant lol.. fixed... thank you

Meteorologist Laura Velasquez is coming back home to Grand Rapids, MI as a meteorologist for WXMI -- she's taking over for Ty Shesky who is leaving the business... 

She previously worked for WOOD, then KDVR, then AccuWeather
