There's some hints of it as seen here with the Weather Open I see some hints of the WISH package in the Weather open. The transitions are almost a dead giveaway that it includes elements of the WISH gfx, but the font is especially similar in the weather graphics. I just hope they don't dump Primetime News, under any circumstances.

I think Primetime News will remain on WOOD even though they may update the graphics which that makes sense considering next year will be 25 years of Primetime News at WOOD, I see WOOD perhaps get some fresher cuts of the package (which that would make sense as well) Edited December 24, 2019 by oknewsguy 1 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12826-nexstaragain/page/61/#findComment-237789 Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my book, that music ranks on the same level of value as MCTYW. It's a shame more stations aren't still using Primetime News. 3 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12826-nexstaragain/page/61/#findComment-237790 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJClementeFan69 477 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 If WAVY got to keep Newswire I'd imagine WOOD gets to keep Primetime (I hope).

cg41386 132 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 (edited) WAVY already did a refresh to their theme a few years ago, it doesn’t really need any updates. Then again, I didn’t think the previous iteration needed any changes.

J1975am 208 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Not sure how this happened, but KLFY in Lafayette used the 2017-19 Nexstar animation to close their 5p news (it does have the 2020 copyright, BTW). Does any other Nexstar market (including the former Tribune ststions) have this close as of today??

I can confirm that the copyright year it was updated to reflect that but from what I could tell, KFOR is using the current Nexstar animation. This post will be edited if I do spot the 2017 animation on KFOR Edited January 2, 2020 by oknewsguy Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12826-nexstaragain/page/61/#findComment-238103 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRob 937 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Nexstar officially opened its Jefferson City bureau today.

J1975am 208 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Something weird occurring on KLFY in Lafayette, LA again: They are running the new Nexstar close, but mentioned in the background are cities/towns in the Nashville, TN viewing area. Should be for WKRN in Nashville (WKRN & KLFY are longtime sister stations going back to the Young Broadcasting days)... Anyway, here is a screenshot (I didn’t take the photo this way; somehow that’s how it came out after I uploaded it, and you’ll also have to zoom in closely to look at the cities in question).....

Something similar happened on KDAF where they ran KIAH’s close after The Beat on 33. It wasn’t until they aired the Dallas Holiday Parade that they finally debuted their own with DFW counties.
