    I would've thought Nexstar was smarter than to hire someone who brought that ridiculous branding to WOIO.

    It seems like he may have been dealing with the IFB picking up too much noise (more than just director's cues)...but that's purely a guess. On a side note, I've occasionally noticed some reporters (at other stations) will literally pull out their IFB when they start their live shot. I wonder why they do that.

    It looks to me like a typo on FTVlive's part. Hopefully FTVlive gets that typo fixed asap.

    I think Bill Hemmer will be a good fit. He's good with keeping biases out of the equation in his reporting. I think it's a job well deserved for him.

    By the way, another observation I'll make: Why didn't Gray invest in new duratrans for WDAM's set? It doesn't match the new graphics very well.

    Bill Hemmer will take over the 3pm slot on Fox News. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/dec/9/bill-hemmer-tapped-for-shepard-smiths-slot-at-fox-/

    Well at least the open has more depth to it than WWSB's open. But I'm not a huge fan of this gfx package. That random spinning sphere seems awkward, in this open.

    Thank you

    One question I have about her that I haven't found a clear answer to: What years did she work at WIXT?
  10. TheRyan
    WWSB in Sarasota uses that

    Not sure if this video has been posted yet anywhere on TVNT, but thought I'd get this on here. This is the announcement as made on WFSB's air earlier this evening. Very sad.

    Coincidentally, earlier today, I made a spoof of the new Scripps gfx. I wasn't planning on posting it on TVNT, but now I can't help myself. Enjoy!

    Any chance Studio 57 gets renovated to bring the look more in line with the current DC look? I'd imagine that they would want the studio to look comparable in design in case they the show gets anchored from NY from time to time (like when a guest anchor is hosting or major coverage from NY).

    As far as WATN goes, it's not really like getting bought by Tegna could make things much worse. But stations like KFSM have a lot to lose by being under Tegna ownership. For example, KFSM has been a reliable news station for years in NW Arkansas. Now, Tegna might change that. And as for WNEP, Tegna would be incredibly foolish if they dumped MCTYW as their theme. The viewers will not be happy if they did, and I wouldn't blame them. It's a great theme and a great asset to the station. At the least, I'd expect the station to get standardized with graphics. We'll see what Tegna does about the music, but I'm not holding my breath much that Tegna makes the wise call

    After they left Studio 47 in 2016, they revamped that newsroom. I don't know for sure if the Studio 47 space was "absorbed" into the remodeled newsroom, but the pictures released at the time the remodel was unveiled didn't show any signs of the studio still being there. I would be curious to see if anyone has better knowledge on this matter. All of that to say: Besides the CBSN setup, Studio 57 (CBSTM set) has become the primary place for CBS News network broadcasts when originating from NY.

    I wonder how permanent that arrangement will be. I guess having much of the CBSEN staff in NY could work in the short-term, but I imagine that has to be incredibly inefficient. Collaborating via phone calls and video conferences only work to a certain extent. I just hope none of the rank-and-file employees lose their jobs. Agreed. I'll be surprised if the DC version of CBSEN lasts more than a couple or few years.

    Still amazed they didn't get a larger studio for CBS Evening News. The studio is nice enough but they should have gone with something bigger for a move as monumental and historic as this. To me, the studio is a downgrade from their CBSTM studio in NYC.

    Never have understood why they thought making it a 30 minute newscast was a good idea. It should've been an hour long this whole time. Glad to see it back to one hour though.
  19. TheRyan
    Very interesting. I wonder if they have spanish subtitles (or spanish closed-caption) on the simulcast.
  20. TheRyan
    And I would say that is highly likely. Especially true for WGHP, imo.

    But since WFMY already produces the 7am hour (which ends after tomorrow), I don't see why they couldn't opt out of programing on one of those sub-channels and carry it as an extension of the morning show. I would think these discussions have already happened (or are taking place) behind closed doors at WFMY/Tegna. So I'm thinking this is not likely to happen, but it would make sense to me to keep the hour via a subchannel.
  22. TheRyan
    I checked Wikipedia and it turns out that WFMY has actually 3 sub-channels: Justice Network, WeatherNation TV, and Quest. Probably not likely, but I wonder if WFMY could consider running the 7am hour on one of those channels. At least WFMY wouldn't lose that hour of morning news that has really become important TV history, certainly for that market.
  23. TheRyan
    I see it as a sign CBS is trying very hard to rescue their ratings on their network newscasts, as they remain a distant #3 for both CBS This Morning and CBS Evening News, and getting much worse with new hosts and leadership...if they are making demands like that in regards to WFMY. Let's hope KOTV doesn't also get forced into dropping their 7am newscast on their main signal (KOTV).
  24. TheRyan
    They should've stayed with Jeff Glor. In fact, I would put him back as evening news anchor, in about 2 seconds, if I was in charge. He at least tried to appear impartial while having genuine care for those he reported about. He was a refreshing throwback to Peter Jennings and it's a shame they dumped him. The network should consider itself fortunate he didn't go to a different news organization. It was a class act the way he signed off...not about him, but those who's faces rarely make it to TV.

    That's alright if other countries want to trend a certain way with TV graphics. Other countries' media outlets have to make decisions that work for themselves. Trends occur differently in each country--some more than others. But what works in France or Germany may not always work in America, and vice versa. We now know when CBS Evening News will make that move to D.C. officially. It will be the first week of December. https://www.broadcastingcable.com/news/cbs-evening-news-to-air-from-d-c-starting-early-december
