LOWERCASE GUY

WKYT seems to be ready with some designs already out there on social media. 

Mark my words, WKYT WILL be debuting this month.

WJHG is already prepared for that already... logo-wise. 

WJHG is not on the short list. WTVM is though. There will be two stations this Monday that will debut.

could see WYMT having some green-ish/teal colors would work with that color scheme to be slightly different from WKYT.

I highly doubt that happens as the stations only have 4 options to choose from; Blue/Red (KQWC), Blue/Yellow (WVLT), Blue/White (WAVE), Red/White/Black (WWBT).
 

That said, I can see WYMT going Blue/Yellow or Blue/White

WLWT and WLKY work as well

KCTV5 and/or KYTV "KY3" is not getting GrayONE for at least until this summer. 

KCTV will be either late this year or early next year. 

WALB was the one that I mentioned that debuted on Friday.

And since then, the rollout of GrayONE seems to have slowed down to a crawl, where station launches were much more frequent before then.

Expect a rollout somewhere on Friday, then two on May 1st, one on May 3rd, one on May 13th, then two on May 15th, then one May 24th, then one May 29th, then one July 1st, then one on August 1st just to name a few. Not mentioning call letters, but I will say WXIX is NOT on that list.

Looks like WAVE is next on the list!

They should've bought back the KAKELand WeatherPLEX

Same energy:

Looks like Gray is trading KGWN in Cheyenne and its other stations for a new station in SLC.

Wonder if we’ll soon see a new url such as mysandiegoproudhomepage.com

Nah. Too short of a URL

Hate to speculate but…Diagrid V.1 graphics came out in 2012. The refresh came out in 2018. Potential 2024 refresh based on the 6 year cycle?

WKBT has had them for over a year. They debuted them when they debuted Ross Overdrive in 2022. It was a test to see if their VP of news actually liked this vision or if he wanted to switch back to the old look. (I worked there during this transition.)

I heard this from a colleague who works at an NBC Gray affiliate. It's not an NBC thing. It's a "Gray" thing. Eventually all stations will be removing their affliliation from their logos. The reasoning is to distance the stations from the affiliates and to separate itself from the fake news movement that the national media gets.

Basically it's so people trust the LOCAL news and to take on their own branding and identity.

What Gray stations have the oldest graphics packages? They should be a target for GrayOne next, although they would be in small markets I would assume.

The Wyoming Cluster for one...

It doesn't even look like they went with red on the WX graphics, but rather....gray? Hmmmmm.

As someone who worked for a station bought by Coastal Television only to get terminated 2 weeks after the fact. LEAVE....NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

They come in with all of these promises saying they will make the newsroom much better, invest in a lot of new equipment, provide better resources, the CEO (Bill Fielder) who is also a politician (if that gives you any idea as to what kind of person he is) will act like he is your best friend, has your interest at heart, then when he takes over he eliminates about 90% of the newsroom staff. He will offer you a severance of 1 weeks pay and an extra weeks pay if you sign paperwork promising not to discuss what happened. Spoiler alert, none of us did, and we all took to the competition and newspaper.

This company makes Sinclair look like a 5 star company to work for. The guy who owns this is seriously scum.

To those who work at KVRR and KQDS, get your resume and reel ready and be prepared to be on the chopping block if you do not leave immediately.

Add another person retiring in May.

And now the congregation waits for Matt's WGAL set comment.

It appears as if WKBT in La Crosse is getting a new set. They have moved their newscasts to the newsroom. Their existing set has been around since around 2007 with some minor refreshes.

Just when you think it couldn't be any worse, I hop on Photoshop and say, "Hold My Beer." I better not speak too loud, knowing our luck, someone in Creative Services over there will hop on here, take one look at the old logo and be like "this is the sexiest thing I've ever seen! Why aren't we using that logo?" Next thing you know...

TADA!!!!

Effra

Hmmm. that logo looks oddly familiar. Where have I seen that before?
