    WRC launched the new look today. Same studio, same music. Looks nice.

    There's plenty of other options in town for local news at 11 on a Saturday. Why do the same thing with the same stories as your competitors? Why not try something different as a lead in to a popular network comedy sketch show? Local stations used to produce all kinds of programming... comedy, music, etc... why not go back to that? Why does a local station just have to purely be a news operation? If audiences and revenue are shrinking why is it such a bad idea to try something else?

    Looks like his behavior finally caught up with him… and hopefully the GM learns a lesson about only hiring friends.

    In their defense, people don't exactly jump online to praise anything that they like.

    This morning they are teasing an in-studio interview with Monica Lewinsky for next week Tuesday and they have said a few times “in Studio 1A” specifically.

    New graphics in this promo look interesting... wonder if they will translate into the show's look. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cbs-mornings-nate-burleson-gayle-king-tony-dokoupil/

    I hate speculation… but… A lot of recent graphics rollouts have come with upgrades to new CG systems. For example, Fox had major issues with the new Chyron Prime system which delayed launches at a lot of stations. There could be some kind of hardware upgrades coming along with these graphics and that’s why the rollout might be slow and staggered and not lining up with new set launches.

    “Comcast wants the FCC to issue a ruling that Nexstar should be attributed ownership of WPIX New York , which would make it in violation of the commission's 39% cap on broadcast national audience reach. The cable operator claims Nexstar’s divestiture of the station to meet FCC requirements in its acquisition of Tribune was a “sham.”” https://www.cablefax.com/programming/new-feud-comcast-says-nexstar-violates-audience-cap-tribune-order

    This was Cinemagic back in the day, right? Decent stuff for the time and I think they were the only company to put out pricing on their website... and they were dirt cheap.

    and re-packaged for Nexstar and re-packaged again for CNN New Day Will be fun to see where this look gets recycled and sold to next.

    This is not accurate. She was brought in as a freelancer at KPNX after they parted ways with their art director long after the launch.

    Thought you might enjoy this graphic from WPVI’s GM

    Here's an article yesterday from the NY Post: https://nypost.com/2021/05/06/tv-giant-tegna-faces-discrimination-accusations-ahead-of-shareholder-vote/ Nothing really all that new in there, and in light of today's news... not sure any of it matters.

    Probably not going to be all that interesting. I know it's fun to rip on TEGNA, and they deserve it for any number of things, but seriously if you open the books on ANY broadcast company, you'll find these exact same problems. I also know we like to imagine that the mom-and-pop-owned Dispatch stations were a haven before TEGNA, but this behavior didn't happen overnight once new ownership came on board. Every single local station I ever worked for had issues like these. You can trace back a lot of those discrimination complaints, like at WTSP for example, to the Joel Cheetwood-era of getting local management to fire all of their expensive legacy talent for much, much cheaper younger talent.

    WDJT marks 25 years as Milwaukee's last place news station: https://cbs58.com/news/cbs-58-news-marks-25-years-on-the-air?fbclid=IwAR1PTLD4h5zRwEU6gj0XUrau3zphvSo37rg8t1F90SGva9NTYZtnxqIWqiQ

    Yes, but bad in a different way... (ask any woman who ever worked in creative at a CBS O&O...)

    I don’t know how anyone can look at this and think this is what a modern media operation in 2021 should look like.

    Kinda makes you miss the days of control rooms warmed by the many cathode-ray tubes... and no salvation under the hot studio lights anymore, they've all gone LED!

    It’s not related to the WCCO track. It likely is from the newer stuff, even though it sounds like it’s from 2005...
  22. noggi
    CNN?
  23. noggi
    That looks alright. Probably the most “modern” CBS News has looked in a very, very long time.
  24. noggi
    I think they just wanted larger boxes. The ones in this package were still 4:3 safe if I recall and most of these newscasts live in double boxes now. I can’t imagine anything from this current look, which was a pretty lame evolution of the previous look, will show up in their new package.

    The Weather Channel has had no problem covering local severe weather remotely for what... 30 years or more now? I'm sure this won't be a huge issue for whatever this is Fox ends up doing.
