TEGNA Broadcasting and Digital General Discussion

For those of us keeping track, KIII was supposed to make the transition yesterday, but so far, has not.

 

So when is KIII transitioning into the new graphics if it still hasn't already?

On the 5:00 news KIII debuted a new #ThisIsHome promo that promotef the new Gannett Graphics. It was pretty neat. It appears they will debut it this monday, also the 3NEWS logo does not have the ABC logo in it.

That is scheduled to be the same day as KIDY/KXVA, unless they slide to the right as well.

No, we got affected by this delay too. We launch on Wednesday.

Any idea when the new site will be launched? http://ux.myfoxzone.com isn't active so the new model either hasn't been introduced yet or a new domain is being planned.

I believe he said once before that they are stuck with Worldnow until January 2016, at the earliest.

That time and temp bug is so far off and so different from everybody else.

So, I see that instead of modifying the logo to fit in the logo box constraints, they just moved the time/temp off to where the ticker would be.

Looks like Gannett has decided on a new name for its broadcasting unit. It'll now be called TEGNA.

Yeah, I don't get it either.

Me neither, but our own Thundershock MN had it first.

[ToriElectra 292]

TEGNA sounds more like the name of a Ford or Lincoln model than a broadcast company. "The new 2015 Ford TEGNA, now with better fuel economy and that weird self-parking shtick!"

[rkolsen 1685]

For some reason when I googled Tegna I misspelled it and got this result Tenga (NSFW - no pornography but it's definitely something you shouldn't be looking at at work). Did anyone at Gannett ever think of googling their new name (and misspellings) and seeing what similar results might come up? From now on when I hear the name Tegna I will think of those sex toys.

 

Thanks Gannett for putting my head in the gutter.

It's just a scrambling of Gannett, with only one N and T.

 

Whoever thought this up probably was the same person who played with Photoshop to "redesign" the Cleveland Browns helmet a few weeks earlier...

Both the browns and Gannett/Tegna probably paid some firm half a million bucks to come up with it.

[T.L. Hughes 903]

Why they went for what barely is an anagram, I don't know. Tribune played it smart by keeping the same name for the publishing spinoff and the broadcasting/digital/real estate unit. Tegna sounds like oddly futuristic... in a more puzzling way than actually good.

[tyrannical bastard 4028]

They would have been better off resurrecting "Multimedia" or even "Combined" for their spinoff.

 

In this case, it looks like the company is spinning off the non-print business unlike other deals which spun off the print sides like Media General.

[tyrannical bastard 4028]

...or resurrect the death star, make it a symbol and call it "The company formerly known as Gannett"

 

And since the Comcast deal is on death's door "Spinco" sounds pretty good too.

Technically, the company is currently named Gannett Spinco, Inc (a Gannett subsidiary) so you almost have your wish.

It's not necessarily the fault of those firms - the clients just tend to blow a bunch of money on "why bother" or flat-out baffling solutions, picked from what is almost certainly all manner of better/more interesting ones.

 

"Tegna" sounds like the name a scandal-ridden insurance company would adopt to me.

[WXmanTim 88]

The Twitter-verse was quite abuzz over the name change.

 

Both TVSpy (http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/the-best-tegna-twitter-reactions/146425) and FTVLive posted a sampling of the reactions (both had the nearly the exact same tweets, so I'll save a link).

 

But I think my favorite is from @nswartsell: "The letters in the company name had to reapply for their jobs, and apparently only some made the cut."

I wonder where that extra N and T will go now.... :rofl!:

Or use the USA Today logo as a remnant of the soon to be former owners of the media arm and make "Tegna" the same font used on said logo.

On the graphic front:

 

- G-Teams Fox Affiliates KIDY & KXVA put up their This is Home promos on Monday.

KXVA: https://www.facebook.com/KXVAFOX/videos/443216345843188/?permPage=1

KIDY: https://www.facebook.com/Kidyfoxsanangelo/videos/696773593777805/?permPage=1

 

They are supposed to roll out their new graphics today. Hopefully AI-SA-TX gives us a link/video of the open. (wink wink). Still waiting to get a grab of KIII's open as well.

 

After the KXVA & KIDY switch, all of the ex-London stations will be on the new graphics.

Here's our A block, some minor issues but overall I thought it went well. We do have a time/temp via newsticker, but our world now server only encodes video directly from Tricaster.

 

Edit: Here is the full 9 o'clock cast.
