[ScottSchell 372]

These are what KJRH have been showing before the newscasts and 1 during the news when they are doing a "covering" a county spot.

My local station has had them for about 6-8 months.

I guess it’s teaching them.  My school class apparently stands out from the others because they taught a different style for a year or two - things like M,N,Q and Z are completely different from the mainstream .

Gonna have to take off work tomorrow to tune in. Definitely don’t wanna miss this debate of the century.

I happened to notice that the top headline on WTVF's website right now is about who won Nashville's mayoral runoff...which happened on Thursday. The story itself was last updated shortly after noon on Friday.

 

I've been to Nashville. Weekends are definitely not that light on news to cover...

Not sure when this happened but KXXV has changed their branding, again. They’re now going by 25 News and using the slogan “Connecting Central Texas. Still using the limerick graphics but with a glossier logo and odd animations.

This happened about 2 weeks ago.

Not something a Scripps station does very often... This is their first win in any newscast in the demo in 8 years.

WTVF NewsChannel5 would like a word...

They really should update their lettering. Looks like a stretched Univers font and it looks dated. And while they're at it, Action News is so 1970's.

Before they expanded it was always interesting how widely used the "Action News" brand was in Scripps. I always wondered how so many of them came to use it.

The initial plan from Landmark was to sell WTVF to Bonten. Needless to say, it's good thing they went with Journal instead.

On one hand I should clarify that this is WXYZ’s first win in any time slot in A25-54 in 8 years. As for Scripps as a whole... I keep forgetting it isn’t a 7/8/9 station outfit anymore...

They definitely dodged a bullet when the Bonten deal fell through. That company was Sinclair-lite in every aspect.

Probably even cheaper. Aside from the mandated political garbage, KOMO, WJLA and even WBFF put on an attractive product, just to name a few.

Don't forget WSYX. They do a very good job in my opinion.

I know the Phoenix market is hyper-competitive, but isn't KNXV close to the top in some time slots?

Yes, I just can't remember which slots... but it's between KNXV and KSAZ Fox 10

When are these stations going to stop it with this "virtual set that looks like a real set" nonsense?

 

You have VR and can do ANYTHING, why have this bland, cliche junk that looks like some movie's interpretation of what a local news set looks like?

Here Mayor -- stand here and look silly cutting some ribbon in front of our green screen and pretend to be interested in our fancy digs... I would've felt like a complete ass doing that...
