WJZY to become Queen City News starting in the new year
Kenneth Kissel replied to CarolinaWxGuy's topic in Graphics
Thanks @carolinanews4 for your response. This does bring up another question however. Will WBTV/Gray get rid of the QC branding in their newscasts or sue Nexstar for using "Queen City"? Something to keep in mind here as well. -

Another reason I consider this a KDKA clone is the Steven Kamer VO. -

This, to me, looks like a cheaper version of the KDKA graphics with Nexstar's stock Fox look in the Mix. There is WAY too much blue here. BTW, If I was vacationing from Cincinnati OH or Buffalo NY, The Other Queen Cities, I would be very confused here. I also updated the WJZY Logopedia Page.

Tegna and Fios came to an agreement today. https://www.pilotonline.com/business/consumer/vp-nw-verizon-fios-wvec-20220108-czvsozsmrbf4bnssayyzxc3x2m-story.html

Suddenlink Will drop Nexstar Stations on January 7th, 2022 if a Deal isn't reached.

ABC changing their logo; New graphics coming for ABC owned stations
Kenneth Kissel replied to Briella's topic in Graphics
Indeed. But, to be fair, Lily Broadcasting doesn't have impressive graphics to begin with. As you can see here. It looks like a mix between Hearst and Meredith.
-
Ok with Three exceptions (also have to add 60 Minutes and CBS Sunday Morning) but every one of the weekday CBS News Programming is in third place.
-
YES
-
OK, I thought of a great Idea that CBS could do once in a while. Replace Pittsburgh and KDKA with any other city and station starting with the O&Os. I know we have talked about this before but CBS continues to lose ratings and needs a shot in the arm.
-
CBS Local from Stephen Arnold needs to be the package the CBS O&Os need to start using immediately. Retire the Enforcer music from 1994 and give some life to (in many cases) third place stations in major cities. ABC/Disney has the edge in many markets where CBS and ABC both own a station.
-
CBS Local would fit KDKA very well with its Black and Gold Look. I hope someone can do a resync of KDKA using CBS Local.
-
Here we are with Disney and ABC. Once again, Nexstar, Sinclair, Scripps, Hearst, Gray, Allen, and others need to step in so many of the ABC affiliates can stay on YouTube TV.
-
Not surprised, most bigger Gray stations are doing 3 PM newscasts so they don't have to pay for syndication.
-
I don't know if anyone else has this problem but the CBSN streaming services boxes look weird next to the CBS O&O graphics. I'm so lucky I have access to the real channels so I don't ever have to worry about this problem. This is CBSN Pittsburgh next to the Broadcast feed of KDKA-TV.
-
I can confirm both WPGH and WPNT has dropped Dr. Oz in Pittsburgh. WPGH is currently airing "The Doctors" in Oz's old timeslot. WATM has also pulled Oz for The Doctors this morning. WICU is still airing Oz for now according to their programming manager.
-
After 7 years being back in Norfolk. WTKR Evening News anchor Beverly Kidd is leaving the Business at the end of the month.
-
I'm aware of that. I saw the gold version and immediately thought of KDKA and how they should copy it.
-
I saw this graphic from WBBM about the Waukesha tragedy and immediately thought of the current KDKA-TV black and gold look.This could be a great update for KDKA if they go through with it. I would suggest to change the CBS logo on the left to a CW logo for WPCW newscasts though.
-
I would love to see KCNC's new graphic in the Black and Yellow KDKA-TV look.
-
I don't know if I believe this. It makes the most sense to go to either CBS or PBS and CBS is still the best option of the 2. I don't think Brian will be able to pass David Muir and WNT but I do think he could pass Lester and NN for 2nd place.
-
This is going to happen in March 2022. I can see it NOW. The CBS Evening News with Brian Williams back in NYC. You know CBS would do this in a heartbeat.

ABC changing their logo; New graphics coming for ABC owned stations
Kenneth Kissel replied to Briella's topic in Graphics
Meanwhile, During the Monday Night Football Rebroadcast, WTAE still thinks this is 2007. WTAE had issues in the Engineering Dept. tonight as well. I talk about that here:
-
When do certain station owners leave the NAB? I could see several doing that if the NAB continues to push higher retransmission fees and continue to lose viewers. I could even see more mergers of duopoly stations into different subchannels. Get ready to see ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, CW, ION and MyTV stations on multiple subchannels with much lower quality.
-
KDKA-TV (Pittsburgh) already does this and airs CBSEN at 7 PM and airs more local news at 7:30 PM Unopposed. WTAE (ABC) and WPXI (NBC) airs their evening news at 6:30 PM against each other. WTAE airs Inside Edition on its main channel at 7 PM and Local News on its DT2 channel as well as Entertainment Tonight at 7:30 PM. WPXI airs Jeopardy at 7 and Wheel of Fortune at 7:30 PM. What is weird is both WTAE and WPXI are airing CBS Media Ventures shows against a CBS O&O doing the CBSEN.
-
I would start with the large markets first and then go to some smaller markets. I would also give an opt out to stations who don't want to participate.
