KOIN kinda looks like the Scripps package from what I saw of the logo on social media.

I was kinda surprised that they debut it on Sat Night then gone the next day I wonder if it wasn't to debut until Monday? I wanted to see the intro of the newscast tonight and boom seeing the Tribune graphics.

This is second time in 4 years that WXMI Fox17 has gone dark on Dish the last time was in 2016 when Fox17 was a Tribune station yup, Dish is the worse when channels go dark. I saw last year when I was looking at Fox17 website that on top that Fox17 could go dark on Dish in Mid-Aug that was only shown for a day thou I didn't see it the next day which I'm guessing that Dish & Tribune signed an extension with them once the merger with Nexstar went final a month later.

I have seen that for Fox17 promo with We're Open with Fox17 with a square with Fox17 but still also use the current Fox17 logo as well for some promos as well.

I like the new Scripps package for the legacy TV stations I hope they use that for WXMI Fox17 but that will be a while before they get the Scripps package.

I wonder when Scripps will roll out new packages for the TV stations that they bought last year I know WXMI Fox17 is still using the Tribune package for news, the logo bug during Snydie took red & blue off and the logo bug is only shown for a few seconds coming out of the break where as Tribune had the logo bug shown during the snydie programs in & out of the break.

I saw on Wish TV website that Wish TV/WNDY has gone dark on Dish didn't say AT&T/Direct TV maybe they got a deal done I don't know.

Is the evil empire that is AT&T going to say no to Disney the mouse no one says no to the mouse. Charter Spectrum & Disney got a deal done last month with no message from neither side and went into overtime as the deal expired on Aug 2 and deal was reached in mid Aug without the channels going dark. Kinda surprised that Direct TV signed a deal with ACC Network in the spring time knowing they had to get a deal done with Disney in the fall.

I never remember TV stations playing the National Anthem when I was younger on any of the TV stations although I was in bed sleeping. Wonder if it will be trend as Gray has started playing The National Anthem in June and now Nexstar.

Not that AT&T & DirecTV viewers can see the message that Nexstar has running on Wood TV, WOTV & WXSP telling them to bring the TV stations back. Which if the TV stations go dark don't run a scroll 24/7 use the stations website for that. AT&T has message on those channels that are effected saying how Nexstar is wrong.

I see a major fine & scolding as well and no buying TV stations for a couple of years. No way do I see Sinclair going bye bye bye just my opinion. I think the weatherman should have kept it in house and not bash Code Red on air like he did which I think was with local bosses just kept it private. Although Code Red wasn't a right name for it WWMT never used Code Red they use Serve Weather 3 that is there branding for weather forecast since the Freedom days they have used it. I see some hopefuls running for president want the DOJ to deny Sinclair of buying the RSN's which I doubt that will happen which is just pandering is all. Plus DOJ wanted Disney to sell the RSN's because they would own most of the sports rights.

I don't believe cities should do that both Charter Spectrum & Northwest will get a deal done and cities should stay out of it and not take sides which Jackson & Yuma are favoring Northwest which isn't right. Where I lived Kazoo didn't take action against Suckyvision oh I mean Cablevision in 97 when Wood TV was off for a year wasn't until couple days before Super Bowl 32 until an agreement happen. And it wasn't about money it was a dispute about putting Wood TV's weather channel on which is now WXSP.
