    Honestly I'm not that big of a fan. If they had the 10 numbers solid instead of those lines maybe I would like it more. But I do like the Tampa Bay font below it. I'm going to miss the coastal "wave" theme of their outgoing logo. We'll have to see how it looks when they actually roll this out OTA. Maybe it'll look better than this preview...we shall see either way

    There's no need to attempt at race-baiting. Nobody mentioned race until you did. People on this site are just having a healthy discussion as things continue to develop regarding Tegna. Just because someone mentions a person by name has nothing to do with race. You really need to lighten up a bit, with all due respect.

    Especially if competing stations have traffic reporters, WTHR should have one for their newscasts as well. But given that we're talking about Tegna...nothing surprises me anymore.

    I wish Jeff Glor was still the CBSEN anchor. They didn't give him enough chance. He was a class act of a news anchor...rarely seen these days...

    Once they're back to normal in CBS Broadcast Center (and especially once everything calms down with COVID-19), I would imagine they'll get the 12pm newscast restored...if not sooner.

    Does YouTubeTV still carry WJZY? I find it odd that they would dump WMYT...but not WJZY.

    The imagery is pretty good on the graphics, notwithstanding that I don't particularly like the gfx pkg in general. But "C Clarity" is a sorry replacement for "The Tower". And of course they just had to drop a perfectly solid brand name for something uninspiring.

    Isn't that the desk from DC?

    By now, whatever trace of the COVID-19 virus circulating in the air or on surfaces at CBS Broadcast Center would be long dead by now. If this drags on for more than a couple more days I'm going to say CBS is overreacting.

    Sad to see KFMB AM/FM get split from KFMB-TV.

    I say this respectfully. I may have a different opinion than you do but let's get along and not resort to speaking like that...
  12. TheRyan
    That's a given. Of course Allen won't be making day to day decisions for Tegna. But he will likely install more like-minded people as him to run Tegna day-to-day. Whether that includes members of the current Tegna team is not assured. If Allen wanted, he could decide that everyone gets replaced on Day 1. I suspect a hybrid of the two will happen. Some might carry over, but others might be shown the door. One thing is for certain: major changes will be substantially made with the Tegna stations, widely ranging from on air branding to journalistic standards, if or when ownership changes. And when I refer to "C Clarity", that term is inclusive of the social media-style presentation as well. The music is a mere symptom of a much greater problem there.

    At this point a stand-up comedian (albeit former) would do better running Tegna or whatever the final entity would be known by than Tegna as it currently exists...
  14. TheRyan
    Yep I literally just saw that so it's confirmed that Aerial is alive at WBNS despite C Clarity. I also sent a tip to NMSA to get the website corrected to show Aerial as still current for Face The State newscasts only.

    My preference here, but I think Overture is a better fit. Maybe change the opening cut to the one KOLR10 uses.
  16. TheRyan
    Did anyone manage to record it at 6pm?
  17. TheRyan
    So sad to hear, but not surprised. Their gfx with Aerial made one of the best combos in the 2010s.

    And once again Tegna doesn't bother trying to make the logo portion legible with this new website design. Albeit the '5' and 'news' are, but the slogan is barely readable.

    That's very interesting to say the least.

    Well if things keep going in this trajectory, I would personally recommend Sinclair does something to offload its debt (whether that's selling some of their ownership stake or something else). But my gut feeling is that all will work out fine for Sinclair once the dust settles on the rebranding strategy and what happens to the programming at-large on the RSNs. Restoring certainty on the exact form of the RSNs will have going forward will go a long way to restoring confidence.
  21. TheRyan
    Let's also remember that Sinclair doesn't own the RSNs outright. It's basically a consortium with Entertainment Studios, with Entertainment Studios holding something called an "equity stake". To a point Sinclair is probably obligated to charge a minimum to offset the massive debt they have incurred with buying the RSNs. How much those minimums are to offset any loss is not something I'm an expert at, but there most surely is a minimum amount. Also, I'm not familiar with the legal verbiage of the papers that were signed when Sinclair/Entertainment Studios closed on the purchase, but I would imagine that any major decision would require both Sinclair and Entertainment Studios to agree (whether that's the amount charged or branding decisions). Sinclair is probably not able to make as robust of decisions since there is a second party involved. Just a guess there. That's not to say Sinclair is in any kind of financial trouble, but as a business they do have to ask a certain amount to avoid a net loss while also accomplishing their goals with the RSNs.

    Wow, that is a very impressive design. My only critique is the use of those GMA-style LED doorways (not a fan of that)...but otherwise I give the set design an A+. Very nice. I wonder if they will have David normally sit at the bigger desk in the middle or on one of the desks to the side. That middle desk seems really big for only one person to sit at. So it should be interesting to see if that desk arrangement stays that way once WNT moves back in. On a side note, interesting that WNT is still on the temporary set up tonight.
  23. TheRyan
    I remember something happening back in January where the videowall behind David went black for a short sec then turned back on. In this video at the 0:35 you can see the videowall go dark briefly. Just a guess, but it was probably a goof in the control room that led to that happening. It appears they held on to that live shot a big longer than normal to try to "mask" that issue as best as they could. Since they were scrambling to adapt to the breaking news happening right then, I couldn't really blame them. Either way, given the leaked pictures purported to show the remodeled TV3, it's probably safe to assume we're very close to its debut. So any issues with the temporary set will probably not get as much priority as it normally would. (I'm just guessing there.)

    I saw that last night as well. I found it kind of weird that the monitor in the front of the desk appears blurry with that angled shot.

    Just learned of this. KXNW now has a 7pm newscast produced by KNWA (branded as KNWA News at 7:00 on KXNW). It would also appear that KXNW has a new logo as well. Apparently the new 7pm newscast has been running since February 10th. https://changingnewscasts.wordpress.com/2020/02/19/some-recent-changes-northwest-arkansas/?fbclid=IwAR33mRASQS7Hp293dtKCp0JGDSjy6Fowsk7RRNNOxr5B2QOyiwLlvagS2kY
