  1. What about WKYC?  Could the new company sell the station or if they hold onto it, change from the approach they adapted back in late 2019?  

     

    Speaking of 3, I came across something interesting in this post on one of their blogs.  It has to do with its newscasts:

    The station remains very competitive in all our news time periods. We are giving long-time news leader WJW a run for its money in the morning time slots and during the evening...

     

    ...The station recently evolved our station branding to include the tag line of 'What Matters Most' to reflect our station's commitment to bringing our viewers the stories that matter most to them. W gave a new name to the 6 o'clock show to set it apart from that branding. All our other shows will keep their current names including GO!, What's New at 5p, Front Row at 7p and What's Next at 11p.

     

     

    This seems to say that WKYC might be doing better in the ratings, even with its format switch and creative brandings.

     

    Could all of that go away ownership changes?

  2. Melissa Mack has left WJW for the second time after today.  The station mentioned on the 4pm news that the meteorologist is planning to spend more time with family.  Dontae Jones is taking over her 4pm and 7pm weather duties.

    Gotta get that Gray trademark on everything (WBAY launched a "First Alert Fastcast on Facebook" this morning, which I'm sure Jeff Laurence loved to say 🤪)! I'm surprised the smoke alarm company hasn't challenged them for dilution despite their different industries.

     

    "First Alert" was what played into WOIO using the "First. Fair. Everywhere." slogan on its newscasts.  The "First" part replaced "Honest," which goes back to the "Action News" heyday.

    To be honest, I bet Live PD would draw better ratings on NewsNation than any of their programming, as it was number 1 in primetime on its respective days before A&E canned it last year.

     

    I would not be surprised if NewsNation picks up Live PD as an attempt to boost ratings.

    Well, it looks like the two options for Tegna are the overlapping letters, and the WVEC / .

     

    Hopefully WKYC is next, What i've seen thus far is promising after the a-bomb that went off there with the "elevator 3" branding.

    Cleveland Scene magazine readers had voted WKYC as the best news operation (then again, Mike Polk, Jr. had been voted best comedian).

     

    Yet, it's WJW Fox 8 that's tops in Cleveland.  WEWS seems to do better than WKYC too.

     

    "3News" has become more unwatchable to me.  The focus on infotainment and questionable hirings is too distracting for me to sit through.  Plus, a lot of the recent hires in the last two years have not stayed long.

     

    I would like see them return to "Channel 3," but that would likely take some changes in management.
