    Yes!

    The thing with DMAs is that Nielsen has basically stopped publishing rankings every year. The FCC is looking for a replacement metric as of now.
  3. TheSpeedKing
    Nielsen DMAs basically no longer exist, so I think we would now have to go off by metro area population. The old Meredith package was based off of WOIO’s, but first they need to fix their VHF/encoding issues and potentially drop a few subchannels before anyone will be convinced to watch WOIO to get new graphics.

    For this (Nightly News at 10pm) to work, the West Coast edition as seen on KNBC and KNSD would need to be scrapped and the regular version aired on time-delay. It would integrate nicely thanks to those two stations having 11pm local newscasts.

    Hothaus won. Death to the Gray graphics hub!
  6. TheSpeedKing
    Now could they consider moving Nightly News to 10? That would make everybody, the viewers and the affiliates (aka O&O management) happy.

    It seems pretty clear that Gray indeed does have a new graphics department, but I will admit that is pure speculation and we would need someone to officially address this.
  8. TheSpeedKing
    Because The National airs at 10 and American/Canadian work culture isn't too different?
  9. TheSpeedKing
    They probably should air it at 10 and make it hourlong, and they already replay it at 10 on NBC News Now. Doing so would guarantee a monopoly on national news at this time. They sell shows to themselves?

    However, I still think that whatever new “O&O package” comes out will be extremely similar to this one, especially now it’s seeing more use on-air and not just online.

    The now-garbage 2016 graphics has reached the beginning of the end. Good riddance. I wonder how WJZ will look like with this.
  12. TheSpeedKing
    Indeed quite a massive upgrade, though if I had a thing to nitpick on, I wish those gradients would be smaller then they are here. Otherwise, it's looking great, and hoping for NS2K+'s return!

    Yeah, thanks to Uncle Perry. Wasn’t the helicopter axed after he took over WCMH? But, this is the Gray thread, and we’re talking about a market that doesn’t have a Gray station and one Gray continues to ignore.
  14. TheSpeedKing
    Appearing like an O&O is my guess. But I really don't know since these are not former O&Os.
  15. TheSpeedKing
    That is Gray graphics. WOIO was the first ex-Raycom station to switch out of LIM4. They're not getting new graphics at the moment, because they're not pressured to do so.
  16. TheSpeedKing
    I can’t believe it. KCBD is now the final Gray station to have LIM4.1. No update on when it will get Gray graphics. Limerick will continue to live on via Lockwood’s WFXG for the forseeable future.

    This is like going from MG’s last graphics package (WCMH, WFLA, WKRN) to Nexstar NBC graphics, a package that is the symbol of failure. Great job, Gray.
  18. TheSpeedKing
    Not really, the WOIO and Meredith graphics are the most “large-market” looks they have.
  19. TheSpeedKing
    With that crappy encoder and VHF? No way!
  20. TheSpeedKing
    Local graphics as well. Matt Quinn and his division of Hothaus are in Cleveland, where there is a Gray station in that market (WOIO) which is how this thread started.
  21. TheSpeedKing
    I wish there was a “disgusted” reaction on this site.
  22. TheSpeedKing
    Updated. I’m thinking KSWO is next.
  23. TheSpeedKing
    A graphics package definitely won't make a station, but it could make the station so much of an eyesore that the viewers associate the station with bad design. That discourages viewers from tuning in. Just look at WSB, which despite having a perfectly modern product is losing viewers at a faster than average rate.
  24. TheSpeedKing
    Any station using Nexstar NBC graphics is going to have their competition cream them. WJCL should've passed WSAV at this point.
  25. TheSpeedKing
    I'm also concerned with Nexstar's relation to NBC. It seems like WFLA and WCMH are the only Nexstar stations that seem to be caring about NBC in the slightest bit. They're also well behind their competition in terms of OTT capabilities. These stations do not need NewsNation on them at all. On an unrelated note, I've seen Nexstar leave its largest market stations alone whereas they forcefeed programming on their smaller market stations.
