Skyline issue for WLBT was quickly corrected by 4pm.

Nothing confirmed for WLBT, but I find it interesting that there’s a revised logo (call letters) on this promo for their new lifestyle show that debuts today at 3pm Central. Is that a sign of what’s in store? Hmmm.

This screenshot of an on-air legal ID teases the new set under construction at channel 7. Their studio is an awkward rectangle and if this image confirms anything, they’re finally utilizing that space to its full capacity.

This set from WLBT was an interesting design. The set was designed by various teams in Jackson and was installed in 1995. A lot of the features with the images were removed from the set not long after the set debuted. The was a lot of emphasis on the locally-designed part of it, but it was a look that didn’t age well.

Gross. Another station picked up the beehive package… This isn’t a “new look” I’d be bragging about.
For Meridian, it looks pretty good. I’m not a fan of this package or the music, but it fits them and the community well.

KATC is now using the Scripps graphics and music (and they kept Robert Burton as their longtime station voice, too)….
Hard to believe “The One and Only” Gari package is gone after 23 years at KATC…..

Looks like WTOK may be switching to this package based on the top banner update on their website and the talent backgrounds on their staff page.
I’ve noticed this logo on the newsroom wall in a picture found on Facebook. I don’t recall this ever being a logo used before, so maybe there’s a lot more to come for Meridian?

KOSA debuted the beehive graphics. I’m so over the first alert branding. This might be the dumbest variation of it yet.

The Grammys are on CBS tomorrow night...so I wouldn't be surprised if they get TEGNA-fied on their late news tomorrow.
Tomorrow (Wednesday) at Noon (fingers crossed) is when new graphics should debut on KFSM.

Yeah, but it's all still Tribune's in-house garbage being replaced.
Anyone with a former Tribune station has to do this, regardless of how old or new the facility is. The WREG engineers are probably too busy planning out installs of their own new toys to care.
As I heard it described, Tribune used “duct tape and chicken wire” and TEGNA uses “broadcast equipment” to work with. There have been a a couple of newscasts this week that have not gone on-air due to the master control upgrades.
