    Lisa is the perfect fit for chief -- congrats to her and her team and to MIke for his decades of service...
  2. MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie
    Not to mention many of their studios are above amazing...
  3. MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie
    Nexstar's WPRI has picked up the WPIX package

    If they really felt like giving an ounce of energy to it, they "could" do a microclimate forecast like many of the CA stations do... Do a 7-Day for Lakeshore, Inland, and the Mountains to the West....

    None of the stations in the Grand Rapids market do this... And there can be wild differences between Holland/Muskegon and Grand Rapids

    OMG this was waaaaaaaayyyyyy overdue.... They were using a package from, when late 2000s, early 10s? One thing that didn't change: Lazy 7-day Forecasts -- For years and years, their 7-day forecasts just look like this.. A suggestion of an even number or 10s, 20s, 30s, etc..

    He should've stayed producing those shows that you see at 2am on various channels

    Per FTVLive, WREX in Rockford, IL and possibly KIMT will be hubbed out of KWWL in Waterloo, IA. This will be a big blow for the Rockford market.. Isn't WREX the powerhouse there??

    Well it's not WZZM -- they just hired retired CM George Lessens' replacement --- for weekends...
  10. MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie
    Did not know that -- that makes sense then
  11. MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie
    I thought the same thing...
  12. MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie
    At bare minimum, it looks like it belongs to a small-market Texas station, not Southern CA
  13. MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie
    I wouldn't be surprised if WLFI is one of them. Lafayette is an "in-between" market between South Bend and Indy.
  14. MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie
    Seeing that a couple are former Hearst stations, I wonder if Hearst will pick up any?

    After watching a newscast of WKEF, this anchorless format is just awful. The constant "New Tonight/New Deatils/Etc" titelcards & music between each story is annoying as hell... And listening to someone record the 30 second story in an echoed room is just tacky. 2 thumbs way down... At least Scrippscasts have 25% personality vs. 0%

    I'm just curious.... Grya's KTVK/KPHO in Phoenix... Even though its Ind/CBS networking, couldn't they technically combine resources some more than they already do?? For example, they have SEVEN meteorologists... Do they really need 7 meteorologist for Arizona?? It just seems that they are overstaffed overall and could see some cuts there eventually.

    Salt Lake City's KSL has had to let go several people, including Dan Spindle, Lindsey Aerts, and Lauren Steinbrecher..per FTVLive

    Bumping this thread: WATE has now picked up this package as well.. There seems to be tweaks to the package, but it is definitely the WPIX package.. They are still in transition.. using the KOIN package bug and news ticker, but everything else is essentially the new package. Also switched to Ascend for music.
  19. MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie
    I had a hunch this was the case
  20. MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie
    I'm very disappointed in this... They let go 3 perfectly good meteorologists for her. Terri could do lots better.. I was expecting her to take over for George Lessens at WZZM...
  21. MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie
    I was watching the continuous coverage online on both station's YouTube channels. For the most part, it was 90% WBBH graphics and 10% WZVN. On WZVN's channel, they were showing everyone in WBBH's studio with the WZVN bug.
  22. MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie
    I'm surprised as well.. It would make more sense... It's kinda like Indy's WXIN/WTTV -- they have 2 completely different news operations but share some resources... They easily could've puuled a KCBS/KCAL
  23. MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie
    Wall-to-wall coverage already popping up ahead of Hurricane Milton. Hearst's WBBH/WZVN are once again combining their teams. In this pic, you see WZVN's Jesslyn Ferentz using WZVN graphics in WBBH's studio.

    I was thinking the same thing.. I feel that WPIX got shafted graphics-wise.. They are rather cheap looking for the #1 market... Had they gotten this in a blue color, would've been way better.. I really hope they can continue with these smashing packages... The Nexstar "CBS Package" and "NBC Package" are definitely showing their age and could use a great refresh with something along these lines....
  25. MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie
    It's about time KRON gets some love. They've been tossed aside and for the longest time given cheap, uninspiring graphics. This is a step in the right direction. After watching the morning newscast, this is definitely a huge improvement. I could easily see Nexstar rolling this out to their independent stations.. I could easily see KTLA getting this in a blue palette
