CircleSeven 1955 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Maybe only the NBC affiliates since Early Today is being run "live" at 3:30AM. Shouldn't be that long before CBS moves its Morning News to the 3:30am slot. Wonder if WSTM (who's been airing news @ 4am for a few years, pre-empting Early Today) would move the program from their CW subchannel to the main channel, since the live feed move to 3:30.

Maybe 'BMT still thinks they're a London station. -shrugs- Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/80/#findComment-182347 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was supposed to have debuted on August 28 but got pushed back. Unlike the alleged social media smarty-pants at KNTV/WTSP, it looks like that show is going to be a Nancy Grace rehash, along with some sports and weather. Yippie. I'll pass.

hmaxhanson 650 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Here we go again.

ChesapeakeTV 311 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I'm sure the folks over at WTKR and WAVY are thanking them. Though...you never know. With all the downbeat "if it bleeds, it leads" stories that usually topped, buffered and filled the shows when I lived there, maybe a WTSP/KXTV approach is exactly the sort of thing the market needs. Guess we'll find out when the ratings come... 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/80/#findComment-184611 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A part of me hopes this isn’t the WTSP format, but the Next / KUSA format, which the promo feels more indicative of. That I’d watch. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/80/#findComment-184612 Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmaxhanson 650 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Just streamed the debut of WVEC's Now at Eleven, and all I can say is, I'm impressed. Very informative, trying to attract today's generation while not trying to alienate the old-time viewers. I'm not sure it was live though. The camerawork seemed too fancy to be live. All in all, this should be how Tegna runs KXTV/WTSP and any other station they want Mr. Cheatwood to ruin. Speaking of WTSP, I also streamed their 11pm news at the same time, and it looks like they've improved from their very rocky start. They're more focused on actual hard news and saving the fluff stories for the end. They've also done away with teasing the headline of next story before flash-cutting to the "10 Tampa Bay" logo and commercials, without any "we'll be right back" or "coming up next". That was annoying. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/80/#findComment-184646 Share on other sites More sharing options...
