Samantha 2907 Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 ...and Houston....we have Sinclair-ization in Harlingen taking place! But being a former Barrington station, will any of us outside the Rio Grande Valley actually be able to see the debut via a live stream? These stations are so poor off, even die-hard TV people like myself are kept in the dark by the crappiness of their web efforts... I'm fairly sure Televisa Noreste beat KGBT in running HD news.

tyrannical bastard 4084 Posted February 28, 2015 Author Posted February 28, 2015 WNWO is one of the few that does, and aside from a logo change, a messy spat with Buckeye Cable, and a total reboot of the station's management, they're still the way they are, for now.
tyrannical bastard 4084 Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 As already mentioned in the Sinclair thread, WPEC in West Palm has taken the plunge.
Georgie56 3350 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Looks like Sinclair-ization is taking place at KTUL. http://www.ktul.com/clip/11213810/president-boren-press-conference-on-fraternity-controversy False alarm. They were just using KOKH video.

They were just using KOKH video. Can confirm, the only real changes at KTUL so far, outside from ROH and Armstrong Williams, has been the replacement of Paul Turner last week with a new, younger sounding VO. The graphics and use of Eyewitness News stay the same.
montydavis 7 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Armstrong Williams is apparently making moves with his new station in Charleston. . With this, does Sinclair retain the branding for ABC News 4 on WCIV?

The graphics and use of Eyewitness News stay the same. KTUL has been using Eyewitness News? At last check, it was Tulsa's Channel 8. Eyewitness News hasn't been used in Tulsa since 1987 when KOTV discontinued using that name for the now famous... The News on 6.
hathawaynson2 39 Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Armstrong Williams is apparently making moves with his new station in Charleston. . With this, does Sinclair retain the branding for ABC News 4 on WCIV? the new call letters may mean Graham Williams Group.

montydavis 7 Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I got my money on either ABC Lowcountry or ABC Charleston Naw. Spoke with someone. They state they are still looking at branding for WGWG. ABC News 4 stays.
News 9 Viewer 100 Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 I've got my money on WGWG 4 Right Side News.
24994J 5676 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Maybe it's been mentioned, but KVII in Amarillo seems to be really close to debuting the new package. Their creative services YouTube page just updated some IDs with the new look and theme, along with an updated logo and branding. ProNews is out and replaced with ABC 7 News, though their Wikipedia page states that the branding already changed earlier in the year. [yt]cpXwBG-N09Y[/yt]

And with it will be the end of Hello News (the NMSA says that KVCT in Victoria still uses it but I'm not so sure about that).
Samantha 2907 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Kinda sad to see the loss of the ProNews name, but I assume that any owner other than Barrington, that perennial noninvestor in their stations, would have axed it years ago.
Big Country News 435 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Kinda sad to see the loss of the ProNews name, but I assume that any owner other than Barrington, that perennial noninvestor in their stations, would have axed it years ago. They absolutely butchered Hello News, though. Listen to their opens on the NMSA.
NewsMaster 226 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 They absolutely butchered Hello News, though. Listen to their opens on the NMSA. I don't think Barrington really gave much thought to what music packages were on its stations. Most of their stations had SAM packages until the SESAC ordeal, and I think it was just a matter of the stations having any music, regardless of the package. If they put more time into thinking about it, KVII probably would have had EWN or something else, but certainly not Hello.
Samantha 2907 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I don't think Barrington really gave much thought to what music packages were on its stations. They didn't give much thought to their stations as a whole, so that makes sense.
montydavis 7 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Are the ids being chroma-keyed over a new set?
montydavis 7 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 FYI, it seems WCIV is showing more signs of the graphics plunge. Use of the new font was on this morning's weathef forecast (regional temp map).
Hexagonal10 84 Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiDh5mqBY3Y They just got Sinclair'd.
Oliverolang 41 Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 KGAN has also used the new weather graphics, but still using the old graphics as their main ones.
Mrtraveler01 739 Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiDh5mqBY3Y They just got Sinclair'd. Looks like it's just the weather graphics so far. Add KATV to the list as well. They have the weather graphics but still using the old package for everything else.
