TheRolyPoly 2641 Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 It's official! The FCC OK's Drewry's sale to Raycom Media. http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/fcc-oks-drewrys-sale-to-raycom/158684 All right. December 1st is the closing date and I smell new graphic looks and everything new for these stations in the new year.
Sendir 195 Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Raycom is such a great company surrounded by horrible ones.
CircleSeven 1963 Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 It even greenlighted the KAUZ one to American Spirit, which Hoak can finally close its books after closing. All right. December 1st is the closing date and I smell new graphic looks and everything new for these stations in the new year. All the Drewry stations were "Gari-land" (including KSWO with Image). All of these would be turned into Arnold once they get all the new stuff together.
mardek1995 200 Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Raycom is such a great company surrounded by horrible ones. The same can be said for Gray Television.
Hexagonal10 84 Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 The same can be said for Gray Television. I have mixed feelings on Gray...
mardek1995 200 Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 I have mixed feelings on Gray... Still, they're both good companies surrounded by bad ones (especially Sinclair and Nexstar).
NEOMatrix 1307 Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 A bigger question would be if KAUZ and KSWO will maintain seperate newscasts? If so, will they at least modify the L3s so that they don't look the same?

broadcastfan9751 140 Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 A bigger question would be if KAUZ and KSWO will maintain seperate newscasts? If so, will they at least modify the L3s so that they don't look the same? They probably will, since KSWO focuses on Lawton and KAUZ focuses on Wichita Falls.
TheRolyPoly 2641 Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 I like Raycom but I actually like Gray as well. Those two companies are fantastic.
Hexagonal10 84 Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Still, they're both good companies surrounded by bad ones (especially Sinclair and Nexstar). That's a changing argument depending on the market your live in or talk about, they both have "Good" stations in certain markets, but your mileage may vary by station... The Sinclair graphics seem like a mess to me because WHAM uses flat white or blue lower thirds and then there's the unanimated gradient blue one. And then the context bar is different color in pretty much every market you see. Then there's the same generic set... and then probably in 2030 the anchors will all look the same.
CircleSeven 1963 Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 And the Raycom/Drewry deal is now done. Drewry exits broadcasting after 74 years. Drewry. And Bye-Bye Hoak!!
mardek1995 200 Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 And the Raycom/Drewry deal is now done. Drewry. And Bye-Bye Hoak!! Now, we await the former Drewry stations to get the new Raycom graphics and for said stations to be on the NewsOn app along with the rest of Raycom's stations.
TheRolyPoly 2641 Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 And just like that... KFDA 10 is the first of the new four stations with the new website layout made by Raycom. Check it out at newschannel10.com
NWA_TV_guy 157 Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 It seems to me that Raycom had a pretty strict goal for 2015 to have all of their portfolio on the same graphics and website layout by the end of 2015. It may be possible for most of the new stations to at least get the new website layouts before Jan. 1. I'm sure the graphics and SAM music packages will take a bit longer to be enforced, but they may have those stations in the training/switchover phase already.
TennTV1983 811 Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Here's hoping KAUZ gets a decent logo out of it for a change. Their current one is craptastic.
atlnews2 599 Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 KFDA posted this announcing the purchase http://www.newschannel10.com/story/30645234/newschannel10-announces-new-ownership
Big Country News 435 Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Maybe KWES will get a package that they'll use more than three cuts from. Checked the files on the site and found the KSWO logo. It's the only one up besides KFDA, so it looks like they'll be the next to get the site.
atlnews2 599 Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 KWES has the Raycom website now http://www.newswest9.com/
NewsMaster 226 Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 KFDA has it now too. Looks like they all got the new sites except for KAUZ. Here's hoping KAUZ gets a decent logo out of it for a change. Their current one is craptastic. As is everything at KAUZ. That station is in a massive need of an overhaul.
atlnews2 599 Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Here's hoping KAUZ gets a decent logo out of it for a change. Their current one is craptastic. Don't count on Raycom to create a good logo. Their track record is terrible *cough* WCSC *cough*
T.L. Hughes 907 Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Here's hoping KAUZ gets a decent logo out of it for a change. Their current one is craptastic. In fairness, the last decent logo KAUZ had was the mid-2000s WEWS/WKMG amalgamation they had a few years back.
