KevCor 344 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 The previously green-lit TEGNA Media co-produced T.D. Jakes will premiere on September 12. According to TEGNA's press release, it has cleared 40% of the US. Outside of the owned stations, TEGNA has cleared it through several large & medium markets, including Baltimore (WMAR), Detroit (WMYD), Orlando (WFTV/WRDQ), Chicago (WCIU), San Antonio (KSAT), and San Diego (KGTV). Eager & anxious to see how he goes up against Steve Harvey (they have similar formats IMO). Do any of the TEGNA stations run Steve Harvey?

TexasTVNews 1377 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I have to mention this, it was three years ago today; Gannett (TEGNA) acquires Belo Corp. http://mikemcguff.blogspot.com/2013/06/khou-wfaa-kens-kvue-and-belo-stations-gannet.html Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/66/#findComment-153247 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just a shock to all (including me) because Belo was one of the well-respected groups out there. This came on the height of the M&A craze that year after Sinclair's announcements of new acquisitions of the lower market Cox stations, Barrington & Fisher; Nexstar's announcement of ComCorp; and Media General's announcement of a merger with Young.

easttxtv 7 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Still hard to believe.... I figured it would be a cold-dead-hands moment before WFAA would ever be owned by another company besides Belo. (Just like it would be a hell-freezing-over moment before the Dallas Morning News would be owned by anyone but A.H. Belo) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/66/#findComment-153270 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannical bastard 3955 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 WKYC has taken some serious liberty in it's use of their graphics/opens and music over the last several months. Here's a promo sample that uses the same music as the intro and most bumpers. The supers and headline bar remain the same, but there's some leeway in other things, especially in the teasers. And at the very end of the newscast, they ditched the TEGNA logo and replaced it with a generic copyright "©2016 WKYC-TV INC" I doubt they're up for sale or going to be up for sale any time soon, but this is the furthesy yet I've seen a TEGNA station stray from their presentarion. 4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/66/#findComment-153850 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense. Gannett has made it pretty clear that they want to be their own entity, so why should TEGNA continue to use the USA Today colors? I no longer work for the company, but I hope the TANK is developing something new for the stations. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/66/#findComment-153851 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrannical bastard 3955 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 WKYC also has a good creative team...their work was WORLDS better than the garbage Gannett introduced in 2008. I don't blame them for leading the way if it's working for them. They were also unscathed in the buyouts that swept throughout the entire company. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/66/#findComment-153854 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their web backend (Gannett's Presto) has switched to something new. If you compare any of the broadcasting website UX with one of the newspaper's UX, you will see subtle differences. Tegna is planning to overhaul the web design within the next year and then graphics, music, branding will totally flip the dichotomy away from Gannett.

I actually thought the original TVbD/1998 Circle 7 looked pretty good in the original set. My personal favorite, though, is the one that they used from 1993 to 95. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/66/#findComment-153890 Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevCor 344 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 For those keeping track of the Lone Star Group, KAGS rolled out the new website platform today. The rest of the group will follow suit over the course of the next few months. And KAGS got it before KCEN? Even that's hard to believe. And only three months later, the second Lone-Star station, KCEN went live with the Gannettegna-ized website this morning.

Actually, within a year the websites are being overhauled. Tegna uses a different CDN than Gannett used (Presto). While Tegna kept the look, there are some notable UX differences between the two. Note the way that pages present. Anyway, an overhaul here coming soon. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/66/#findComment-154831 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I've been here for the discussion (you were the one who brought it up, I distinctly remember), but I'm still calling it Gannettegna-ized based simply on the USAT colors, until if/when the UX change becomes more than theorized conjecture, and my weather is not broadcast with a yellow stripe. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/66/#findComment-154832 Share on other sites More sharing options...

An update to their current website layout (Gannett-TEGNA), or a new one altogether? Also, speaking of overhauls, I saw what could be KCEN's new logo on google play, so does that mean that it will recieve a change in logos? And will any other TEGNA station that hasn't gotten a new logo in 2 decades get a new logo anytime soon?

IndoTVNewsFan 90 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Looks like some other stations are also preparing for the "Gannettegna" website. KBMT is not yet ready. (Taken from : http://content.tegna-media.com/theme/images/****/[email protected] ) Note : Change the asterisk with the station's call letters. Guess what, KXVA and KIDY will have a separate website. And KXVA will have a new brand on August 2nd.
