TheSpeedKing 265 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 As for WDKY, the rebrand took place as scheduled. New Nexstar website as well. IMO, the new logo reminds me of KGO-TV. I'm not aware of any airchecks yet, so I don't know if the ticker was removed (Good for them if they did!). 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12826-nexstaragain/page/74/#findComment-268386 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still not convinced that WDKY had a reason (besides network affiliation) to not use the KOIN package. As for the logo, it's basically a coloured version of the generic Tegna Fox affiliate logos. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12826-nexstaragain/page/74/#findComment-268394 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watch almost ALL of the Nexstar stations, you will see that Nexstar almost never hires Art Directors and CSDs who know their design language. Especially because most CSDs come from News, not Marketing and can't translate research to a comprehensive brand. The industry just doesn't care anymore.

phillynewslover 134 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 According to TV Passport, WNCN in Raleigh is cutting the noon newscast down to a half hour, and moving The Young and the Restless to 12:30p (currently they air it at 4p). Y&R has aired at 4p in Raleigh since 1993. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12826-nexstaragain/page/74/#findComment-268442 Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not Lexington, KY where you have a low-quality competitor (cough, WTVQ). In the Triangle, your competitors are some of the best stations in the entire country. There will be no way WNCN can poach viewers away unless Nexstar does something different, and launching another newscast is not the solution. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12826-nexstaragain/page/74/#findComment-268445 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why in the MG era, WNCN's newscasts were 6:00, 7:00 (instead of 5:00) and 11, and with neither WRAL or WTVD doing a 7 at that time, it gave them a way to catch viewers who otherwise watch one of WRAL or WTVD.

If they were going to do this, with Ellen leaving next year anyway they should’ve just moved her to 9 for the rest of the season and moved Y&R to 3 to keep it as a lead-in. Maybe it was a CBS mandate to air Y&R in pattern as David Salter on Discord suggested. But I doubt it.

I don’t think it was a CBS mandate; I think the decline in ratings nationally of Y&R (not to mention the decline of the entire soap genre itself to the point that there are only 4 on the air) probably gave management a reason to move Y&R to its in-pattern network time….. It’s probably the same reason WAFB in Baton Rouge moved Y&R from afternoons back to its in-pattern time of 11a (Central Time) a couple of years ago; in their case, the show had aired in the afternoon since the late ‘80s!

nathannah 2401 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Well that would be a complete 180º; I still remember when Nexstar killed Hollywood Today Live the moment the approval for Media General came because Perry thought it was a distraction from their 'local first' initiative.

I’m not sure the issue is with CBS; the ratings for Y&R have declined over the last several years (as has the entire soap genre itself), so maybe that is the reason why management at WNCN moved Y&R back to midday (and also why KMOV & WAFB moved the show back to midday, as well).

GoldenShine9 1512 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 That could be the beginning of the big groups actually buying the networks - and pulling Baton-style hostile takeovers.
