Now, WTOL is "spilling the tea" on the now-viral video. http://www.wtol.com/2019/03/28/its-time-spill-tea-wtols-cringe-worthy-video/ They probably shouldn't have led their statement with more slang - but the takeaway of that article comes from the teachers who wrote the station: "I personally would like to say thank you to you and the rest of the anchors at your television station for having the courage to stand up and do something that teachers have been doing for years." Yep. Anyone who has ever attended a pep rally can attest to that. Like I said earlier, folks are too hasty to judge. And I totally disagree with Scott Jones/FTVLive on his continued ridicule. I think the Toledo Blade does a nice job summing this up - and alluding to a larger concern in the "Twitterverse": https://www.toledoblade.com/a-e/culture/2019/03/28/twitter-twits-ruin-fun-wtol-video-kirk-baird-commentary/stories/20190328141 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tw-804 190 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) Meanwhile in Western New York, a new show is coming to WGRZ on April 10th (why on a Wednesday?) at 4pm. It's called Most Buffalo hosted by Kate Welshofer and weathercaster Maria Genero. The Ellen DeGeneres Show will move to 3pm and Dr. Phil will move to 2pm replacing Dateline. https://buffalonews.com/2019/04/02/ellen-being-moved-on-wgrz-in-favor-of-4-p-m-local-production/ Edited April 5, 2019 by tw-804 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttvn2000 318 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 WTOL has been TEGNA-ized. Haven't seen it on-air yet, but this is what they're promoting on social media. (Gawd I hope this isn't their logo - I don't think it is...but eeeeeeeew.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skbl17 188 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I hope that's not the final logo too. Even by C Clarity-era Tegna logo standards, that's just lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working4You 40 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Looks like WTOL is starting to get the Tegna Look too with the Weather Graphics.... Keeping the First Alert Weather Branding... KWES 9 is still on the old Raycom look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenShine9 1509 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) That's one of the worst logos I've ever seen. They should have brought back the "Toledo 11" moniker, although a whole new logo would likely be needed (and, no, not the WXIA logo either!). The current KWES logo (taken out of the box) would fit well within the Tegna graphics though; I don't think they need to change the logo.
