WTHI, WLFI, and WFFT have all updated their logos to match each other. The combined newscasts are supposed to start tonight.

A press release from Allen making the Weather Channel forecasts being seen on local stations seem a positive thing… it’s like putting lipstick on a pig and somehow making it look uglier. https://www.einpresswire.com/article/778247699/the-power-of-the-weather-channel-is-coming-to-your-local-television-station

I put together a montage of the first newscast at WTHI without Patrece and Kevin. It’s an interesting format that has been in place over the past couple of weeks. There is a lot of information in the description of the video such as the back story and details on more changes happening at the station as soon as next week.

I’ve been told that big changes are coming to WTHI on Tuesday. From my understanding the station will be merging with WLFI and WFFT. Basically a ‘Wisconsin News Now’ in Indiana.

It broke my heart seeing this confirmed. Everyone was expecting, but it doesn’t make it easier. I grew up watching WTHI and I was lucky enough to work with both for a couple of years. Patrece trained and mentored me. Both are amazing souls and talented individuals that are loved deeply by their colleagues and the community. WTHI will never be the same….

Similar to Wisconsin, KEZI and KDRV now have combined newscasts under the brand of Oregon News Now.

A source I know says other Allen stations in Indiana are talking about doing the same thing.

It’s about time. The old one drove me crazy.

Your stuff looks good! I taught broadcasting last year part time while working full time as a reporter at a tv station. I reached out to Stephen Arnold at the beginning of last year and they gave us a license for Lighthouse and access to The Vault For our projects/newscast. I’ve since quit both jobs and am in the process of starting my own streaming news/weather website for the county I live in. Both with my project and when teaching, Stephen Arnold Music was very supportive and helpful. I actually just licensed Frequency for my operation. If you have a budget, I encourage you to reach out to Jeff Ryan at SAM and see what they can do to help you!!

I’ve been told by a couple of people who have some close connections that NEWSNet is no more as of today. Has anyone else heard anything?

Who designed this look? I don’t think any stations use it now, but several have over the last 10 years.

Wonder if we’ll soon see a new url such as mysandiegoproudhomepage.com

Watched a few videos on WBRE/WYOU’s YouTube channel. On the lower thirds, they’re branding it as 22/28 News, Weather, Sports, etc… They’re also saying “22/28 News” when tossing to reporters. A while back, WBRE and WYOU debuted new logos so I wonder if this is part of a slow rebrand.

Looks like the 30 year stretch of In-Sink is coming to an end on WRAL.

Downloaded a game I thought was kind of interesting from an ad on TikTok (warning the game sucks lol). The game started with a fake newscast. Can you tell where their inspiration came from? FullSizeRender.MOV
