    And WFAA could use an update similar to what KTVT did back in the late 90s with its logo at the time, but in such a way that it still has the 8 in the square, but with the "WFAA" and the "NEWS" portion of the logo as well as them having a different font or with lowercase letters and without the rectangular box that surrounds the two portions.

    And it won't be too long before azcentral reverts to the Arizona Republic.
  3. mardek1995
    So do KSDK and 11Alive.
  4. mardek1995
    Will any of the stations update and/or change their logos as soon as the split happens?
  5. mardek1995
    By the way, has anyone got the date when Gannett will split into the publishing arm that retains the Gannett name and the digital arm that will become Tegna?
  6. mardek1995
    They could still buy the Star-Telegram.
  7. mardek1995
    Only here's the thing, when Gannett does split, its newspaper will be ready for aquisitions, and this article even says so. http://www.niemanlab.org/2014/11/after-it-splits-gannetts-newspaper-half-will-be-ready-for-acquisitions/

    But wouldn't Gannett buy the Fort-Worth Star Telegram or the Texas Tribune?
  9. mardek1995
    In that case, wouldn't Gannett, the publising arm, acquire the Washington Post after the split?
  10. mardek1995
    I haven't seen that yet, but if it does say that WUSA is owned by "Detroit Free Press Inc", it'll have to change into being owned by "Tegna Inc." or "Tegna Company", or something like those.

    Hubbard Broadcasting for example (except for KSTP and it's satellites and KSTC which can all go to Meridith), could net them markets in New Mexico, Duluth, MN/Superior, WI, Albany, and a return to the Rochester market if they buy said company. They could also buy Griffin Communications which could net them the OKC and Tulsa markets as well as KFMB in San Diego if they wanted to.

    It'll also allow for full ownership of KGW and WHAS because they won't be bound under cross-ownership restrictions Gannett is under right now as well as allowing the purchase of the Fort-Worth Star Telegram and the Texas Tribune, especially for the former because it's within (and near the center of) WFAA's viewing area which for right now, bars Gannett from purchasing said newspaper.

    There's another thing that hit me. Upon the split of Gannett's broadcasting arm into Tegna, will the stations' websites be altered in any way aside from changing from "A Gannett Company" to "A Tegna Company" at some point within a year from then?
  14. mardek1995
    I noticed that WZZM's holdings company is Combined Communications of Oklahoma and it hit me. Wouldn't it make sense if Gannett/Tegna bought Griffin Communications in Oklahoma (which has KWTV and KSBI in Oklahoma City as well as KOTV and KQCW in Tulsa)?
  15. mardek1995
    And 2 months ago, this would be the definition of Tegna. I'm not even sure if they knew Tegna is a place in Switzerland before deciding on the name.
  16. mardek1995
    Here's a possible logo for Tegna from http://www.newscaststudio.com/2015/04/22/is-this-the-tegna-logo/ : If the name Tegna doesn't explain how it's a nod to the 100 years of Gannett, this logo might.

    My point is that even though they aren't in Texas, First Coast News, and 12 News (KPNX) use the same cut that WFAA, KHOU, and KBMT use. Also, I'd rather KVUE have the authoritative cut WFAA uses for its open since KVUE is in Texas' capital city and said cut fits there better than in the metroplex.
  18. mardek1995
    First Coast News and 12 News (the one in Phoenix) use the same cut, especially the latter. Sorry for the double post, my internet screwed with me right then.
  19. mardek1995
    First Coast News and 12 News (KPNX) use the same cut, especially the latter.
  20. mardek1995
    They have used it somewhat, check out this open:
  21. mardek1995
    KENS uses it too to a somewhat lesser extent, but KVUE uses the same cut most of the London stations use then the same cut you mentioned.
  22. mardek1995
    Or use the USA Today logo as a remnant of the soon to be former owners of the media arm and make "Tegna" the same font used on said logo.
  23. mardek1995
    So when is KIII transitioning into the new graphics if it still hasn't already?
  24. mardek1995
    And HotHaus are same guys who made the last Belo graphics before Belo was bought by Gannett.
  25. mardek1995
    WFMY seems to be the only other Gannett station that has the HD in their logo.
