TheRolyPoly 2416 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I think KPNX is still the #1 station in the market. When TEGNA was Gannett, they have WSVN-ified their graphics and music before in 2008. That did not affect KUSA's ratings, and it might not have affected WTSP's ratings, either. The rest of the Gannett stations' ratings might also not have been affected. KARE was nice enough to keep their existing music, and KUSA was nice enough to keep their existing graphics on their teases (until 2012) and talent opens (also until 2012), and their existing music on their talent opens (until 2012) and closes (until February 2009). Gannett called themselves as being nimble at one point according to an old Gannett website. It said so on the first page of the company's annual report. Qwest also called themselves as being nimble through their slogan from 2010 until they were integrated into CenturyLink in 2011: "Get Qwest. Get Nimble". That was after they retired their "Spirit of Service" campaign, which they used from 2002-2008. Do you think TEGNA is still nimble, and how can that be compared to CenturyLink? As for the ratings in the Phoenix area, Scripps-owned KNXV is the number 2 station in the market. The way KPNX does news now? There's no way they're still #1 now. It has to be KTVK or KSAZ by now.

TheRolyPoly 2416 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I thought it was KNXV? Oh I don't know. At this point, we can all agree now that KPNX is definitely not #1 and neither is or will be KPHO.

Rusty Muck 4374 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Does anyone have any tangible proof which station is in what place in Phoenix beyond supposition or assumptions? For all we know, KPNX is rising in the ratings by taking a tabloid approach. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/79/#findComment-180932 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkolsen 1684 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 It's over the top and they are definitely ripping off WSVN with "Just one station" and "the night team" slogans. While the latter is pretty common, I've only heard the former at WSVN. I kind of liked the recorded voiceovers of the director saying "roll the open" and "check the framing" - although it only really works with this type of open.

The jet ranger is a piece of shit anyways, so anything less than one of them fancy A-Star's is a major downgrade. Plus KFMB only has editorial control of the chopper. The contract/money portion is handled by Total Traffic network with Welk aviation. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/79/#findComment-181073 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The contract/money portion is handled by Total Traffic network with Welk aviation. I showed this article to KBEX (Chopper-X) Pilot Olaf Joystick who called the R-66... "A drone with seat belts and cup holders"... Olaf knows his stuff, because he flew in the 6 hour war between Finland and Norway in 1985. The only thing keeping KFMB from adopting an R-44 or R-66 is the fact they would get smoked in the first pursuit involving some teenager and his "Boy Racer" modified and nitro Honda Civic. How embarrassing. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/79/#findComment-181093 Share on other sites More sharing options...

One for the morning and late afternoon/evenings - so they can take a breather? Depending on their lease deal, one helicopter is probably their primary dedicated helicopter. The other is likely used by Shadow Traffic as a traffic helicopter, but is also a KXAS back-up chopper when the primary one has to re-fuel, is out for service, or covering multiple breaking news stories. There are similar deals in other large markets, although having both carry the TV station branding is unusual.

KevCor 344 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 While we're on the subject of changes... it looks like TEGNA is in the process of changing the look of all of their station's mobile sites as well. I noticed it this morning when I was perusing WVEC's page on my phone. For an example of the difference you can look at WFAA 's mobile site with the new look vs KIII with the old (the links will take you to their mobile page). They have to be going through the slowest graphics change ever...

Darius22 122 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 apparently these stations use a different site address when on mobile. instead of /mobile they use /mb/home and if you try to redirect them with /home it goes to the main site instead: KREM, KTHV, KTVB,WFMY, KGW, WLTX,WJXX/WLTV,WXIA,KYTX,KIDY,KCEN,WCSH, WZZM Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/79/#findComment-181149 Share on other sites More sharing options...
