    Sadly (at least the Noon newscast) they used the awful cuts of C Clarity. Not sure what they were using at 4pm but that's what I saw when I went to playback today's Noon newscast. They're using the same cuts that they used for Noon at both 4pm and 5pm.

    KFSM now has the Tegna weather graphics. Not sure if they fully debut the Tegna graphics today but here it is https://twitter.com/5NEWSGarrett/status/1222234909655420934?s=20

    I shared this on Discord and I'm sharing this on here. https://www.si.com/johnwallstreet/sports-business/diamond-sports-rebrand Right now, I wouldn't be too concerned about Sinclair's future (I would be a little bit) but, if say we go into this Fall and the upcoming NHL/NBA season and we still don't have concrete plans from Sinclair about the RSNs that would be when questions need to be asked about what's going on. I know it was rumored about Fox Sports Florida/Sun being rebranding a few months back, they said the rebrand would take place over the next few months but that hasn't happened either as of yet.

    No what I was referring to is @MidwestTV's post that's above mine back on Page 113 in this thread. As far as I've seen so far WTHR has not fully debuted the Tegna graphics and C Clarity.. Yet.
  5. dman748
    I have a question (and someone maybe can answer this one for me): Is the graphics seen on WTHR actually a refresh of the 2018 graphics or no? Something tells me that Tegna might be doing a refresh on their graphics and there would be no way that we'd be seeing the how-to guide being rolled out to the Tegna stations. Obviously someone will have to fill me in on that as I don't have inside info as to what's going on at Tegna.
  6. dman748
    And The whole discussion about Standard/Tegna needs to be split into it's own thread (if the mods are even paying attention)
  7. dman748
    Calling it now, Tegna will buy Cox in a 3 way merger between those 2 and Standard Media at some point either this year, next year or later on in the 2020s.
  8. dman748
    Sorry to say fellas but Tegna is just as big of a bully as what Mr. Kim is. Is Mr. Kim a bully in this, yes I think he is. But at the same time, we have to look at both sides of the issue here.
  9. dman748
    So Standard General as part of their response to Tegna that I shared Yesterday this one here expands on what was originally reported that @tyrannical bastard shared last week. They have filed with the SEC a Schedule 14A, as recently as Thursday and according to that report it mentions names like Stephen Usher, David Glazek, and Michael Perrone as names of those that are part of the proxy fight to take over Tegna I think Soo brought more than just a crew he brought an ARMY of those that are willing to join Kim in the fight to takeover Tegna, this is getting more and more interesting as I'm reading these articles related to Standard/Tegna.
  10. dman748
    Ok. So assuming Kim get's his way at the end he would have a little wriggle room to make at least one big acquisition (maybe even 2 big acquisitions)
  11. dman748
    Where is Tegna at in terms of the FCC ownership cap? I think they have to be at least 30% if not a little bit over that.
  12. dman748
    I'd say both parties involved in this are being bullies (Tegna for essentially giving the finger to Kim just because of the fact they're afraid that Kim would come into the company and destroy everything Tegna has been doing to their stations in the last few years) You could say Kim was being a bully in his response but Tegna started it here, not Soo Kim.
  13. dman748
    A follow-up on this: Soo Kim has responded back to Tegna's baseless claims and I'll just let the quote's from Mr. Kim speak for itself on this one: All I'm gonna say is you might need 2 or 3 boxes of popcorn for this one.
  14. dman748
    I think Tegna's board might have to think twice about this one because if they think that by telling Kim no will push him away, they are sorely mistaken. The fact that Kim is responding back by bringing some of his people (all of which had YEARS of experience of being in the business) tells me that Soo Kim really wants Tegna and wants Tegna bad. I'm starting to wonder if it was coincidental that Tegna bought stations like WTHR/WBNS, WNEP, WPMT and WOI/KCWI (all of which are in markets that both Kim and McDermott either tried to buy in 2018 or were in those markets when they were in charge of Media General)
  15. dman748
    At this point I think it's on especially given what Kim is bringing along with him. Deb McDermott (currently heads Standard Media) Colleen Brown (formerly head of Fisher Broadcasting from 2006 until the 2013 sale to Sinclair) Ellen McClain Haime (formerly VP of Fiance at Hearst and before that she was Senior VP among other roles at Granite) This is going to get interesting folks, all I will say is enjoy the show. I should also mention that all of those names I just mentioned those are very high profile names, that may be just what the doctor ordered for Tegna but, I'll belive it when I see it P.S. I think the Standard-Tegna thing deserves it's own thread.

    In Memoriam

    dman748 replied to jdcnow's topic in General TV

    As posted on Discord, some sad news to report this morning. KFOR Weather Producer Robert Moose has passed away at the age of 42. Rest in peace, Robert. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

    Hate to bump a stagnant thread but, SportsCenter with Scott Van Pelt will be moving to Washington, D.C. in August. And it'll share the same studio space as Pardon The Interruption as well. Not sure if ESPN will renovate the current space in the current PTI to accomodate the SVP SportsCenter, build a seperate set for SVP or build an entire new set that will house both PTI and SportsCenter with SVP. We'll find out in the coming weeks and months ahead.

    Given that their former sister station WISH dropped the "24-Hour" part of their branding, sadly I knew that it was only a matter of WHEN, not IF WOOD was going to follow suit.
  19. dman748
    WOOD has officially dropped "24-Hour" from it's branding and it's now simply known as "News 8". This is the video that was shared on Discord
  20. dman748
    The main takeway from what we're seeing so far in these images and videos that's been posted in this thread so far regarding this set refresh is that there's a lot more happening behind the scenes regarding this than what ABC is willing to tell us. I truly believe that there is some form of a MAJOR renovation that's taking place in the main WNT set, how major is anyone's guess at this point.

    The biggest change that I took note of from the 2 videos is that on the 2nd video in the link it didn't have the map of the world in the background behind the anchor desk like it does in the first video. I think if nothing else, ABC is doing a refresh to the current set and any significant major changes won't take place until when they do make that move to Hudson Square (IF they even do make that move)
  23. dman748
    Are they looking for anybody at 9pm too or are they planning to use the main evening anchor team at 9pm on KASW?
  24. dman748

    And now. Coverage You Can Count On. From KOLR10 News Springfield, Missouri.

  25. dman748
    As posted on Discord, apparently the trademark for "Diamond Sports" expired on New Year's and in it's place, Sinclair a few days before the New Year trademarked "SportsTime" as a name for Diamond Sports Group. Given that one of the RSNs is already branded under the SportsTime name (that'd be SportsTime Ohio) it would make logical sense to rebrand the rest of the chain under the "SportsTime" branding I do wonder 2 things: 1. Does Sinclair intend to merge Fox Sports Ohio into that of SportsTime Ohio (or perhaps rebrand Fox Sports Ohio to SportsTime Ohio and then rebrand the current SportsTime Ohio to SportsTime Ohio 2)? 2. Did Sinclair perhaps hit a snag in it's negotiations with the buyout of Stadium? Something to watch, folks.
