Tulsa seems like a scary place for this to be going down especially since Sinclair and Scripps compete there.  Has Scripps done any "Scripps-a-fying" of KJRH?

The 12:30p half hour of their noon show and their 6:30p newscast are both Scrippscasts.

I’m don’t work at a station, just a casual viewer.
 

IMO, the graphics look sharp and are a massive improvement over what they replaced. My one criticism is that the L3s (especially the logo bug) take up a large chunk of the screen at all times, and a constant headline ticker isn’t really necessary most of the time. Otherwise, I’ve got no issues with them.

 

However, the music is really, *really* repetitive and dull, and it’s already become stale imo. I was hoping there would be more cuts of “Dimensional”, but it’s a really limited music package.

KPIX has their own custom cuts of Dimensional that I’m surprised haven’t been used by others around the group yet.

It’s NDC-3, which is in use at WRIC and WDVM/WDCW.

Judy Justice is headed for syndication next fall.

The Atlanta stations have scooped up plenty of former CNNers and Weather Channel meteorologists through the years. Linda Stouffer and Sophia Choi both anchored at the former CNN Headline News before going to WSB, Eboni Deon is a former Weather Channel met who’s also now at WSB, and Vinnie Politan once helmed WXIA’s morning show.

Scripps already has multiple agreements in place with possible Bally-affected teams.

A look at the new Suns scorebug. 

They also brought back the old KUTP theme.

They also have a new open with a slightly modified logo. Both debuted a month ago. They are getting new graphics, but the whole thing hasn't debuted yet.

The Coyotes have left Bally Sports Arizona for Scripps.

Looks like Bally Sports Arizona is in its final days.

ABC adding midweek NBA games in January.
