whats worse is that they are not in HD so everything they show will be letterboxed!

KOVR's 6:00PM News did a Long Close before Entertainment Tonight for a minute and a half. kinda like what WGN does. something you dont usually see on KOVR.

FOX rolled out a beta version of their site redesigned for both FOX and FX networks as well as National Geographic channels. the site now combines all of them.

apparently these stations use a different site address when on mobile. instead of /mobile they use /mb/home and if you try to redirect them with /home it goes to the main site instead: KREM, KTHV, KTVB,WFMY, KGW, WLTX,WJXX/WLTV,WXIA,KYTX,KIDY,KCEN,WCSH, WZZM

their on that Sports team branding. KXTV does it with the Sacramento Kings NBA team.

I thought it was KNXV?

WJBK and KTVU used to have this problem.

oh my bad.

or Boston's WHDH.

I realized KPTM is using the FOX O&O Graphics but using convergence SAM for music. makes you wonder if they want to be a FOX O&O? then again KTVU and WHBQ uses an in-house version of those graphics. but if they are Sinclair owned, shouldn't they use their graphics? (Glass/Curves)

John Oliver did a segment about the company. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf-NlMoBD9s

they probably still do it with scott pelley. i know certain 7-Eleven locations used to have a system with weather while promoting NBC and NBC news with clips from the show Extra which i believe Gas stations do still. some gas stations uses CNN while you pump gas.

that makes more sense actually.

Burger King's new TV system is using clips from CBS. This means that while you're hungry they will have stuff from 60 Minutes and CBS clips and promos. I wonder if they could have just used CBSN?

also my bad its going to be on 40.3 not 40.2.

apparently its not just Sinclair. THISTV is also getting kids click on stations not owned by sinclair. for example its coming to THISTV 40.2 owned and operated by the Fox affiliate KTXL in sacramento a tribune station. thats a sign that its going to exist on more stations than they actually plan to.

Is it me? or did they just copy Hearst Graphics with a logo almost similar to KIRO? you can also tell by the lower thirds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=y1hDlWVD8qc;m=1;s=40

KCRA got their own version of Revolution in 2000. with a complete mandate thereafter until they switched to the NewsMusic Central Package in 2004.

for some reason FOX or tribune has been doing this for a while now. apparently when you watch FOX's live stream on FOX's website they show the Tribune Broadcasting logo or in some areas the golden Nexstar "LOCAL" logo looping for a few seconds (the same ones after a newscast) before going to commercials. i could be wrong but they seem to do this to plaster over the Local commercials.

Now it looks like KTXL's old 2011 graphics in a way. i think its the fonts they use.

Stephanie Harris of KCRA has passed over the weekend. she will be dearly missed. also KQCA was having technical difficulties with their reporting so you couldn't hear anyone reporting it not only the video froze they had to skip it and report on something else.

yeah KTXL and KCRA occasionally does it. (KCRA uses news reporters in their ID sometimes but only from and to NBC Programming.) as far as networks go they don't because theyr'e all promos now. on a serious note i know nexstar stations are using helicopter footage when there's breaking news but some stations with news broadcasts are using Facebook live now. I've only seen this with CBS O&Os.

KOVR forgot to take their news Bug off this morning during Let's Make a deal but then went into dead air for a while. i have no idea whats going on with them and CBS. EDIT: this has never happened before. apparently during the price is right they showed nothing but this ID for the whole entire commercial break. it also slipped in the enforcer theme for a split second. isn't it rare to see a CBS station show an ID these days?

so it seems that CBS was the first to break into a special report today.

I realized the graphics for NHK World Newsline looks strikingly similar to WISH-TV's Graphics.
