mardek1995 200 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I'll take that as a yes. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/46/#findComment-123804 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevCor 344 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I'll take that as a yes. Considering that This is Home is their mothership overlord theme corprorate branding, the most likely and obvious answer is yes. The better question would be, will the LSG group use similar cuts to try and all brand as one unit (like the KING group does). Also, Al-SA-TX, any word on any improvements/additions to TXCN with the addition of more resources?

mightynine 290 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Logo tweak for WWL? This just popped on their social media accounts. No change on-air or on their website. Facebook: Twiitter: The main Twitter account originally had this, which I think looks a little better with the CBS Eye and the tagline underneath.

Looks more Gannett-ized than a substantial change from their previous logo iteration, especially with the color bars. Looks nice nonetheless.

GoldenShine9 1513 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 The new WWL logo looks like a blast from the past - resembles heavily their 1988 logo.

mardek1995 200 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Latest on the Lone Star Group: Launch dates are tentative at this point, and it really just comes down to how we end up building these graphic templates in Chyron. Also, we will not have a rundown on screen like the rest of the Gannett stations. KYTX: March 16 KCEN/KAGS: March 21 (This is a Saturday for some reason, I'm not sure why) KBMT: April 13 KIII: April 15 KIDY/KXVA: April 20 As for websites, I'm not sure about the other stations, but KIDY/KXVA is stuck with World Now until January 2016. And as for their (or at least most of their) music cuts here's which ones I think they should have: morning opens: noon and 4 p.m. opens 5 p.m.-6 p.m. opens: (10 seconds into the video) 10 p.m. (nightbeat) opens and most of their promos: (14 seconds into the video) Or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQGqc5FX9y4 They might have different cuts than my suggestions, but it's their decisions on what cuts they'll implement on their stations.

Al-SA-TX 54 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I can't speak for the other stations, but I'm using a cut that none of the other gannett stations use.

Unrelated to the cut of music am I thinly one who thinks it's weird that their open states that WTSP's newscast in HD sponsored by Bright House? I think it's a bit tacky. I hate sponsored segments but I understand it's needed in this day and age as stations need to make money in any way possible. I would honestly prefer if the sponsors logo is unobtrusive and not mentioned. I also would like it if stations stop pushing their newscast is in HD. I can understand the need to point it out if you just switched to make a point to tell viewers to go to the HD channel but it's a bit ridiculous to make a point of it in your next graphics update. The only exception I would make for promoting HD is if Nielsen provides a break down of viewers by source (HD/SD/Provider) and that the HD feed was significantly lower compared to the HD market penetration. I feel like that and the CC logo that appears on WPVI isn't needed any more on newscasts as CC is required by law. As far as I know WPVI is the only one with the CC caption in their open in this day and age. I can't speak for the other stations, but I'm using a cut that none of the other gannett stations use. I'm honestly really surprised this cut hasn't been used before. Got a video?

I would honestly prefer if the sponsors logo is unobtrusive and not mentioned. WKYC has been doing the same thing for close to a decade now. Currently, the Calvetta Brothers Floor Show is the main sponsor. Oddly enough, the sponsor mention is the only place where the "Channel 3 News" title is shown in the newscast open (WKYC's main logo is otherwise shown).

I'd say that they should use that version for the NIghtbeat broadcasts. For the normal broadcasts (if not even the ones I suggested), they should use this version KVUE uses: this one that News10 Sacremento and 12 News (azcentral) use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQGqc5FX9y4 or this version that KSDK and WBIR use (minus the NBC chimes): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYu5dDrUrWE Special broadcasts and breaking news opens should use this version: Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/46/#findComment-124373 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToriElectra 292 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I like best the KVUE cut, but how WTSP uses the "Da-da-da" rapid thing right after it.

mardek1995 200 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I like the cut WTSP uses with the "Da-da-da" rapid thing (said rapid thing being the same cut WGRZ often uses for its opens) that TheMisterFree is referring to better.

As I'm sure both of you know, those are hold-outs from the legacy Gannett days... hell, right before the rainbow blocks in WTSP's opening sequence, you can still see them using the old graphics for the sponsor mention. What about the KING cuts: I like the KING cuts. But I just can't see any of them fitting those London stations.

rkolsen 1684 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 It's been reported that KUSA's Kevin Torres was unexpectedly fired. I've been following him on Twitter/ Instagram since I heard of a stupid plan (and I think sweeps stunt) of an "election" between him and current anchor Kyle Clark to see if the latter should continue anchoring the evening newscasts. It was a stupid contest that for such a large market only received a total of 700 votes. Subsequently I followed them both on twitter and they both seem very nice. TVSpy quoted the TV reporter of the local newspaper and said that a traffic altercation was related to his firing. I don't know what type of traffic violation that could occur that would result in a reporter being fired with out any mention of it in the press. The day or two before he was fired he posted something on Instagram where he said that only went out to get some craft beer.
