Samantha 2896 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Now if the rest of the Fox O&O package could be made to look like that KTVU open... Seriously, I really feel that it hasn't aged well.

effseesee 101 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Is there any particular reason why KRXI simulcasts news from a market 200 miles away? It's extremely popular in the market. The other 3 network affiliates all approached Cox about producing a 10 pm show. Cox said, no way.

Big Country News 435 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Tonight's 10:00pm open for you all: Reminds me a lot of WLS' graphics in the way it looks and animates.

C Block 1566 Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 The only thing I don't love about the 10pm open is that there isn't a shot of the GG Bridge in it for once. But otherwise, really nicely done. I'd love to see them build some bumpers and other animations in this style.

The other opens show the Bay Bridge, Downtown SF, the Pyramid and Coit Tower Right, I'm aware of those sights. I'm just pointing out that for the first time in close to 20 years since , the Golden Gate Bridge isn't in the 10pm open. I always thought it was particularly unique to KTVU and the Ten O'Clock News, as you don't see the GG Bridge featured as prominently or as tightly associated with a station's branding on competing outlets. ....But I suppose that's being too pedantic. The point still remains that these are still some excellent opens!

A3N 1002 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 KTVU had to rely on KCRA for coverage of that train derailment? Wonder why they didn't use KTXL?

KTXL makes the more logical sense since FOX has a working relationship with Tribune, not to mention that KTXL is a FOX affiliate...

C Block 1566 Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 KTVU and KCRA have a direct fiber line between them. The two stations co-financed it together before KTVU went O&O. For KTVU to get something from KTXL, it would require the more circuitous methods (FTP, Newsedge, etc.) Besides, the people at KTVU think KCRA is a better station to partner with, much to KTXL's chagrin.

There's always a few odd couples partnerships between stations. WBAL (NBC) gets footage from WBOC (CBS/Fox) when there's a story on the Eastern Shore that WJZ doesn't usually get despite being a CBS affiliates. I think the partnership is necessary as there's no real NBC affiliate in Salisbury. WRDE doesn't count considering their news is outsourced and there's only two local reporters. During statewide political debates WBAL will usually host while WHAG and WBOC send a reporter to ask the occasional question. This isn't necessarily relevant to the topic at hand but I thought I'd add my 2¢ when it comes to odd news partnerships.

CircleSeven 1956 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I'm kinda surprised they didn't plan to expand the morning show past the 9am hour, like the other O&Os as of yet..... Okay it's now happening. September 14th. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14134-ktvu-branding-changes/page/6/#findComment-133714 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 2516 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Okay it's now happening. September 14th. Even though KDFW 4 is airing LIVE! with Kelly and Michael at 9:00 a.m., why can't then expand it to the 9:00 a.m. hour and have LIVE! on at 10:00 a.m. ? WTVT 13 currently does that.

Big Country News 435 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Good Day Bay Area Anyone? That's about as likely as KTVU banding as "FOX Bay Area News"! The name "Mornings on 2" is about as iconic as the station itself.

Weeters 1939 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Good Day Bay Area Anyone? I doubt it. FOX has really toned down how much they're trying to push the corporate initiatives at KTVU.

TVNewsLover 784 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I doubt it. FOX has really toned down how much they're trying to push the corporate initiatives at KTVU. I agree. Although I say give it time. I could see them renaming the 7-10 portion in a few years.

C Block 1566 Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 I agree. Although I say give it time. I could see them renaming the 7-10 portion in a few years. No way in hell. It's been called Mornings on 2 since it debuted in, what, 1991? In fact, just in February, they renamed the 4:30-7 slot from the KTVU Morning News to Mornings on 2 for simplicity's sake. Calling it anything else just because other Fox O&Os call their shows something else would defeat the purpose. What's more interesting, though, is to note the actual format changes that have been happening, especially in the morning show and the new 4 p.m. show. Before Fox, the morning show was the typical lather, rinse, repeat of news, weather, and traffic every 15 minutes. Now, the show is trying to become more fluid with talent personality flowing through, which can be seen in moving Gasia to the mornings, Sal's weird music requests in commercial bumpouts, and more feature segments in the later hours. And with this announcement that Mike Mibach and Sal will be anchoring, that signifies that this 9am hour might be even more different than the rest of the morning hours and more like the 4pm's studio-based interviews and such.

The weekend edition has a light tone of the "LA" feel. They sit on a couch and the people running audio are slowly playing music instead of the Fox o&o theme but very stale choice of music. So I guess they are getting the slow hang of it. Also weekends sometimes have segments. Lol.

Mrtraveler01 738 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I doubt it. FOX has really toned down how much they're trying to push the corporate initiatives at KTVU. I have been pleasantly surprised about that. I think they know that making it look too much like the other Fox O&O's is going to backfire on them. Case in point: They used to have the standard Fox O&O looking graphics for their opens but now they're instead using opens created by their (what's left) in-house team that are definitely more toned down than the earlier versions. I think KMSP is doing something similar too. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14134-ktvu-branding-changes/page/6/#findComment-134100 Share on other sites More sharing options...
