DENDude 216 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I know Tegna isn't as good as Gannett Broadcasting used to be, but I will say that some of their stations are usually on top of severe weather coverage. KUSA/KTVD, WXIA/WATL, WWL/WUPL do seem to be the first to have live streams up for severe weather coverage on their respective websites compared to other stations in the market. With that said, all Tegna stations could do a much better job at covering the NEWS than they do, to me it almost seems as if news coverage has become and afterthought and that's not good for anyone. As far as graphics go, this package they have on air now is really bland--I think they could have & should have done more.

Eat News 4745 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 So what's up with this 10:55pm stuff on KFMB's TegnaSite? Did CBS give up some minutes in return for Les's departure?

CircleSeven 1955 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) That's the time when the website's live stream starts working. Five minutes before the next news broadcast.

H4UL4U 127 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) A post on the broadcasting subreddit says that KUSA's master control is soon going to be hubbed from TEGNA's centralcasting hub in Jacksonville. I did not realize KUSA still had in-house master? Wonder how that will work with all their translators.

I love the stories about these little translator districts and how they manage to import OTA TV pictures hundreds of miles away with just an old microwave transmitter and a few paper clips. Now you have to have all the subchannels and super dooper dolby sound (where available).

Now you have to have all the subchannels and super dooper dolby sound (where available). Some of them are pretty amazing. One had two hops over various mountains before reaching the town which then had a main translator and two rebroadcasters from that. I’d be curious about the latency and the additional compression as some districts squeeze two or more stations + their sub channels on the translator. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/94/#findComment-225452 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenShine9 1512 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 WTOL also has the Tegna website layout now (but not KWES yet - that should be very soon). That would eliminate pretty much any traces of Raycom at those stations.

I don’t think there’s an outside distributor for the show so TEGNA would be doing it all. I’m not sure how national commercials are rolled whether it comes from a master control source or straight from the production gallery.

I don't really have complete knowledge of the process but I know at least some stations bring in the DBL feed through their TVU receivers. IDK what path the signal goes before that and/or info about commercial insertion. Guessing it's similar to a network feed where there would be a spot or 2 for local fill.

That’s pretty cheap if they are distributing a show through the TVU network. They’d have to uplink it anyway for those out of the TEGNA station group. Then you have the signal quality and latency issues of transmitting a show over the public internet. I known they distribute news content (breaking news feeds or live shots of national news) for distribution where PQ isn’t needed. Edit: Here’s some info on how DBL uses TVU it’s a secondary feed, they use it for “satellite tours” for TEGNA stations before the show, and live hits during the show. https://www.thebroadcastbridge.com/content/entry/12538/tegnas-daily-blast-live-finds-new-path-for-multi-station-live-contribution 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/94/#findComment-225504 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, especially with Jacksonville being in a hurricane-prone area (and to a lesser degree Greensboro where the CBS hub is), but with these hubs having been in place since 2008 it's hard to go back now. I think, though, it's relatively easy for an individual station to switch their Crispin automation to spoke mode, and operate locally. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/94/#findComment-225593 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenShine9 1512 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 KWES now has the Tegna website layout. Pretty much all traces of Raycom are gone from it too now. I agree that Jacksonville is not a good place for a hub. If I were to pick somewhere, either Denver or Phoenix would be best, since they aren't in big hurricane, tornado or seismic areas that could immobilize a station.

channel2 977 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Denver would probably be the better choice - since it's not as prone to excessive heat as Phoenix, either.
