Oh s*it. Looks like I lied when I said... WCPO airs it at 12:05am Sundays and 2:05am Mondays.

There's this article from when MyNetworkTV was two years into being a programming service, with this highlight from Nexstar CEO Perry Sook: "With MyNetworkTV, I get more inventory per hour than I would get from Fox or ABC, albeit at lower ratings."

Some clearances I found for iCrime and Ring Nation... iCrime w/ Elizabeth Vargas - Cincinnati, OH: WSTR / Weeknights @ midnight - Dayton, OH: WKEF-DT2 (FOX 45) / Weeknights @ 11pm - Lexington, KY: WKYT / Weekdays 6am (27.2) and weeknights 1:30am (27.1) Ring Nation - Cincinnati, OH: No clearances / Apparently everyone here agrees with the petition! - Dayton, OH: WHIO / Weekday mornings 10am - Lexington, KY: WTVQ-DT2 / Weekdays 1pm

THANK YOU This has to be the best comment I've seen about most True Crime shows!

I don't know if anyone has noticed this, but apparently the overnight repeats of Top Story w/ Tom Llamas on NBC stations are now using the bug for NBC News Daily! It used to be the NBC News Now logo animation with the word "NOW" deleted. This screenshot was taken from earlier this morning...

Several Hearst stations are now airing programming from their Very Local app in the former timeslots of Ellen and The Good Dish, as those shows have been (or will be) pulled from the airwaves; and their new shows aren't scheduled to premiere yet.

WLWT for MeTV subchannel (Cincinnati) [Hearst]

Does anyone know who designed the 1997 Media General graphics, as well as WFLA's 1995 graphics that they were based on?

Speaking of KCNC, I came across this video from yesterday featuring a couple of stingers that I haven't seen before; and they look really close to the newer CBS branding - https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/dangerous-flooding-emergency-message-larimer-county-sheriff/ Could this be a possible hint at the new graphics?

Scripps??? I thought we were talking about a Nexstar station.

I don't think having separate L3's for anchors is the problem if it's done right. It's definitely the design in Tegna's case, as this is bordering on looking like KMSG's original set of overblown lower thirds. Hearst has used separate L3's for anchors since the first diagrid look, and they work very well. It also helps that they actually look decent. (They still do this with the current look, but it's been consolidated onto the same L3 background) Examples of separate L3's from the 2012 diagrid look: Regular L3: Anchor L3:

Where are you seeing this????

Actually, that looks like a ripoff.

Aside from all the other issues, I'm still confused about the music situation. So it seems to be confirmed that they're licensed to use News One, but that doesn't account for the other music packages that they used (though they all seem to be published through Warner-Chappell) which were also ripped from NewsMusicNow! Not to mention the video that Ianman linked to earlier (but now the video is private for some reason) where the intro used the "Community" cut from the 2000s Hearst-Argyle music (which last I checked was made exclusively for those stations). It's not even from the same publisher! (Newsmusic Central)

Well then again, they adopted the 2007 WEWS graphics in 2012 after the Renderon look, so this wouldn't be the first time they've downgraded...

Was browsing through Tristan Bresnen's portfolio and I noticed a new look he produced for News Channel Nebraska. But it looks like a repurposed version of WFLA's graphics from 2016-2020 (that was also used on sister stations WKRN, WCMH and KELO). It's mostly the same besides it mostly being red instead of blue, as well as different looking Lower 3rds and Full Screens. Here's his case study: https://tristanbresnen.com/copy-of-currents-news-v2 WFLA 2016: News Channel Nebraska 2022:

I'm not sure who originally made it either, but I do know that FX Group did the 2002 refresh. http://web.archive.org/web/20080923183829/http://www.fxgroup.tv/portfolio/wtvq/

I just checked KOVR's live stream. The O&O graphics have not changed.

FOX has a news division that's been around since 1996, and they still don't have regular newscasts on its stations (besides Fox News Sunday). If Nexstar does buy The CW, I wouldn't expect them to have any regular news shows either, even with NewsNation as their sister division.

I don't know. I can't see John Christopher Burns doing a direct ripoff of another graphics package like that.

The WTVJ look was actually done by Novocom. Not sure about the WESH version, which I'm pretty sure is a ripoff.

WFIE is gonna have to make up their mind on what graphics package to take.

Aside from the ABC logo, this is the first thing that I immediately thought of when I saw this (and what it's most likely based on as they're both owned by Scripps):
