WFSB has debuted GrayONE.

90% clearance for People Puzzler. Here’s the show’s website.

KDAF is picking up the People’s Court rerun package from KTXA and The Big Bang Theory from KDFI September 4th. KTXA has also rejected the Judge Mathis reruns, so no word on where that is going yet (if it even gets rerun at all here).

Appears 8pm/7pm newscasts are what's coming to the indies. 

In addition to the KPIX two-hour primetime news block, WCBS is adding an 8pm to WLNY, KTVT is adding a 7pm to KTXA, and KOVR is debuting an 8pm on KMAX called "Primetime Sacramento".

KCRG replacing Kelly Clarkson at 9am with local lifestyle show Everyday Iowa.

The new 8pm newscast is an hour-long.

And what is at 9 pm?  That is when they traditionally did a newscast that took on forms from being unique to a repeat of the 6 pm news...

 

Law & Order: SVU.

According to TVPassport, WCBS is adding an 8pm newscast on WLNY to replace Now News on September 1st.

When did Jori Parys join WBBM?

Opens and the bug are still saying News 4, but anchors and reporters are saying the new brand on-air and it’s showed up in some graphics.

KMOV has changed their branding from News 4 to First Alert 4.

I feel like this will be more of a weather rollout than a news one. At the pace O&Os are going only Chicago done the full rollout. Maybe the stations just hate the look.

Every O&O is getting the full look. This stuff takes time to implement.

Also, that means three out of four of the existing indies (KTXA, WBFS, WSBK and WLNY) will be airing it in primetime as well. Not KCAL, for obvious reasons.

Wendy will now take over as president and CEO.

Something notable from CBS’ press release about 48 Hours entering syndication next month:

Quote

“48 HOURS is a great fit for our CBS-owned stations,” said John Budkins, senior vice president of programming for CBS Stations. “We look forward to showcasing the program in primetime in 10 of our markets, including on seven of the eight stations where we will be transitioning from The CW to independent status next month.”

Raiders have adopted the Raycom Sports scorebug, but everything else is the 2015 NBC Sports pack.

Cowboys with a new look this season, inspired by the Prime Video TNF look.

Here’s a promo announcing KBCW’s rebrand to KPIX+.

Lions: Bally again.

Dolphins: same as last year.

Bengals: same as last year.

The Seahawks broadcast was such a technical disaster last night, NFL Network switched to the Vikings feed.

With preseason starting in earnest tonight, it’s time for the annual TVNT NFL Preseason Graphics Roundup!

Patriots: no change from last year.

Texans: no change from last year.

New court show: Cutlers Court, with husband-and-wife duo Dana and Keith Cutler of Couples Court fame. Sold in 80% of the country.

KBCW will be branded as KPIX+ and will launch an 8 and 9pm show. No word if they are adding a 10pm newscast.

 

 

Effectively succeeding KRON’s 8 and 9pm newscasts, when they sign on with The CW.

Interesting there’s no 10pm. I guess CBS is going to continue with Now News after all?

Longtime KDFW traffic reporter Chip Waggoner is going off the air for the rest of the year because he was employed by a traffic agency and has decided to leave that company to join Fox full-time.

He’ll return in early 2024, when he is an official Fox employee.

Interesting how they haven’t claimed texas21.com yet.
