Georgie56 3303 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) I wonder if this means that The CW will move to KFVE. That would be the most logical decision, since The CW is on KHON-DT2 in Honolulu. Wider audience for the network in Hawaii by moving it to or having a shared affiliation with KFVE.

Sendir 194 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) KTSM in El Paso has moved into their new facilities. They have adopted the look of KRQE. Same logo, set and the NBC Nexstar graphics pkg. (instead of the CBA one, duh).

CircleSeven 1955 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) They kept the "9" insignia, but it's behind a background like KRQE's. And they also got that damn desk too.

susquvalleywgal 517 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 ABC27 WHTM briefly (very briefly) displayed a new ‘Coming Up Next’ graphic yesterday. Looked 100% better than the package they are doing now. Tried to get a image but their website watch live page was acting up and couldn’t get it in time. Also progress on their new studio is coming along, slowly but surely. Not sure when it’s going to be ready. I say early 2019 ... The attached photo is from their NEST live camera they have had set up for a while now. Link to that at ABC27’s website. Progress. — Matt 4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12826-nexstaragain/page/49/#findComment-216641 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same logo, set and the NBC Nexstar graphics pkg. (instead of the CBA one, duh). An update on KTSM - they’re using “This is the Place.” Somebody phone Mr. NMSA.

d247 43 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Variety posted a profile on Nexstar and interviewed Perry Sook on Friday. Quote “We have no aspirations to be a national anything,” Sook says. “Our company goes from Burlington, Vermont to Honolulu and each of those communities have different needs and different tastes. We do three things that are vitally important: We produce local news content. We deliver entertainment and information. And we help local businesses sell stuff. Those are our reasons to exist.” https://variety.com/2018/tv/features/nexstar-tribune-perry-sook-ceo-sinclair-1203094572/ 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12826-nexstaragain/page/49/#findComment-219149 Share on other sites More sharing options...
