It seems to me that the new Nexstar copyright has a transition that animates onto the screen, compared to the old version that seemed to be a plain video clip.

No TEGNA IDs or graphics yet. If I were TEGNA, I would downplay it. Most people who don't follow this stuff think the stations are still locally (or in the case of WTHR, almost locally) owned. There is an advantage to that. In fact, I would have given the Wolfes token ownership in the stations (like 100 shares of Tegna stock) just so they could continue to pretend they are locally owned.

hankthetank23 15 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 @DirtyHarry When do you think WTHR/WBNS will get Tegna’s standardized graphics and music? Also, do you think their logo will change?

I didn't like it before, but I think it looks good with their blue color theme and inside a blue square. Likewise with WTHR. I think their logo looks great since they updated it. I don't know that I liked their graphics so much though. Too much gray for my tastes.

I think WTHR and WBNS have “minimalist” enough logos that the 1-color (White) versions will translate nicely to the TEGNA graphics. They (thankfully) didn’t change WTOL (even with that false alarm), so I think we’re likely to see those logos remain for a bit. Had WTHR not refreshed their logo a few years back, it might have been a different situation. With all this said, I could be completely wrong and both could be in for a downgrade a la WKYC. (But I’ve discussed my disdain for that more than I needed to, LOL .) 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/103/#findComment-233019 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shopping these days is about as fun as going to the dentist because all your choices have dwindled to just a handful as the big corporations gobbled up market share.

TheRob 937 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) I wondered if TEGNA was considering a traditional return, given the news director hires at KSDK and KFMB-TV recently.

DirtyHarry 727 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) Quote Tegna proceeded to kick longtime Journalists to the curb and replace them with young and inexpensive hires that would be guided to do this new type of news that did not look very much like news at all. Talent was urged to interject their opinion and do their own thing. Take it for what it's worth, but I don't think a little bit of informed opinion is such a bad thing. We have been subjected to three years of blatant Russia Russia Russia propaganda about Trump. Orwellian propaganda. I think the mainstream media would earn a lot of cred if they stop regurgitating propaganda and start interjecting their opinion that this is all a bunch of BS conjured up by people trying to cover up some major crimes they committed. You see, I don't think the average person is die hard conservavative or die hard leftist. But everybody loves to see crooks get what's coming to them, everybody loves a good hanging and everybody likes a good tar and feathering. The first respected mainstream national media guy to reject the Washington party line and call out what has been going on will have the same kind of respect accorded Bob Woodward. But the key words in the first paragraph are "informed opinion." Who has the ability to see what's going on and to tell it like it is and the gravitas to get people to listen? Not some kid who is wet behind the ears, that's for sure.
