How did NBC Archive get the today show weather from , then , and stations at the same time? Like, what resources did he use?

When are more stations going to be added onto newson?

Same for NBC 5 DFW

He still reports more on Fox TV Stations than sinclair. And like many tabloids (which is what I consider FTVLive to be) they report on some stuff nobody else would, except that one is the type of tabloid that stirs up shit for attention

How many struggling O&Os does ABC have? And are the ABC O&Os starting to struggle too? Sinclair's doing the same thing and FTVLive is barely reporting on that FTVLive isnt the first source I check, and how many connections does it have? At least newsblues gives information on each market and provides a brief statement as to what the news stories of the week are so I can copy them and paste them (even if they arent the first, but better right than first if you cant choose both)

I noticed yesterday that first coast news got a new logo for its news operation, WTLV and WJXX themselves still have the same logos though. I also noticed that Cars.com has a new TV segment that airs on the TEGNA stations' newscasts: https://www.cars.com/articles/carscom-on-tv-check-out-our-segments--1420685020587/ For some reason, KCEN/KAGS, KYTX, KBMT, KIII, KXVA, and KIDY arent listed along with a few other typos.

I personally prefer newsblues over FTVLive. They even give the link to the current DMA rankings from nielsen.

Do tabloids get stories nobody else would report on?

A lot like Jerry Springer, but I must admit, even the guy who runs FTVLive (whatever his name is) at least has some credibility. I dont think he has enough however.

Hes basically the Jerry Springer of the mass media.

I have issues with FTVLive because many news reporters have done more than FTVLive has ever done. They often say that they reported "FIRST" but they may not have reported accurately, and while I think being first isnt a bad thing in itself, I do take issue when they report first, but the information is incorrect. And what has FTVLive done to help the news media business?

A lot of TEGNA stations need a bit of new stuff, mostly new logos, KENS, WFAA, and even 11Alive being only a few of many examples of stations still needing new logos. At least KXTV got a new logo, even though it isnt the best one out there.

Weren't they bound to be spectrum bait?

But NBC Boston might be if NBC doesn't solve their problem of a possibility of a lack of OTA coverage. How about a better example... WOI, one of the weakest ABC affiliates. Also MidwestTV, about what you said about a station being an affiliate of the #1 network but the least watched in their market, the inverse can also be true. WFAA, for example was the most watched station in DFW back in the early 2000s even though ABC was struggling at the time.

Like WWJ and, if NBC doesn't do anything about the possible lack of OTA coverage of NBC Boston, WNEU, for example.

In that case, it is because of shows and NFL games, but for news, especially local news, most people tune to other stations instead.

Yes, I did.

Speaking of O&Os, how is CBS the most watched network if most of their O&Os aren't #1 or even #2? Is it because people don't watch those O&Os for news, but rather for the shows and NFL games?

Just checked KIII's website. It just got overhauled. Not sure when, but it must've been at least a few days

But theyd have to get a new font. And besides, I myself think that WFAA losing its ABC affiliation is unlikely, and WFAA wont become an ABC O&O (channel 7 and the circle 7 logo were already taken by KLTV for one thing), at least not anytime soon.

I figured that part. But in that case, TEGNA should add their ABC affiliates to the ABC all access livestream. I checked and WFAA (and other ABC affiliates owned by TEGNA I assume) isnt on there. And I would think that the reason ABC hasnt bought any stations is because there isnt an opportunity for that to happen yet. Also, I never said WFAA would become an ABC O&O, just that it would switch to either NBC or CBS by either one of them selling their respective O&Os, but at this point, the chances of that happening are extremely slim. For one thing, NBC 5 and Telemundo 39 are both housed in the same building as well as DFW being one of the top #10 TV markets in the nation, and while you could say the same thing of CBS 11 and TXA 21, they could be sold off to ABC a lot easier. Thing is, CBS isnt that willing to part with said duopoly in part seeing as how the building housed there is called the CBS Tower, among a few other reasons (yet, as mentioned in another thread, like most CBS O&Os, CBS 11 isnt #1 or #2 in the ratings most of the time), not to mention its more likely for TXA 21 to become CW 21.

Yeah, like I said, its an unlikely scenario.

I know this might sound stupid because its not likely to happen, but if for whatever reason, TEGNA decides not to renew its affiliation agreement with ABC in 2018 for most, or even any of its stations, how are they going to manage that? This would be especially problematic for WFAA with the other big 4 affiliates being O&Os of their respective networks, and the only way for affiliation switch to be possible would be for either NBC or CBS to sell their stations to ABC, which in itself is unlikely to happen (TXA 21 becoming a CW O&O is more likely to happen). And I wonder about TEGNA's other ABC affiliates if that happens. Like I said though, I think its an unlikely scenario.

I think you meant to spell it as TEGNA not TENGA (the confusion is still around, but that's a different topic), and I agree with you on that one. CBS should either invest in WJZ for once with a new set and new graphics or sell it off to TEGNA (I would say they could sell WJZ to Tribune, but buying it would put it over the cap).
