Weeters 1829 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 This was a bit of a surprise. New set launches Monday night: Brace yourselves, because this probably means they'll debut the Scripps graphics/music too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 1847 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Brace yourselves, because this probably means they'll debut the Scripps graphics/music too. If so, then goodbye to Impact on WTVF. One of the best run music packages on any station (besides WPVI's MCTYW) in history, considering that WTVF's had it for 18 years and has only used one package during that time while WKRN has used 3, WSMV with 5 and WZTV, since their news launch in 1998, has had 5.

rkolsen 1679 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I guess that's one of the benefits of having a large second studio. For all we know WJZ could have a second set already waiting in the wings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbnews 344 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Dear god, that's what I thought too. Better be Devlin or somebody good, not Park Place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidwestTV 1174 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 It doesn't look empty or bright enough to be that... Plus we saw virtually nothing of it. Very very hard to make an assumption based on backside of the set lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the pattern/lines of it, and it reminded me basically of the KGTV set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaskanews 108 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I've seen it in person (while it was being built, so I don't know what the finished product looks like.) It is Park Place, but a design they've never used before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaking News 805 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I guess that's one of the benefits of having a large second studio. For all we know WJZ could have a second set already waiting in the wings I would be so happy for WJZ to get a new set, and I would send flowers to the station if that happens. I guess WTVF will get a Scripps mandate set i.e KNXV, KMGH, KGTV, WRTV set would look like that for WTVF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennTV1983 756 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 It will not look like the other Scripps sets. Promise. I'll take your word for it. In terms of WTVF itself, the only thing I'm worried about is if their 4:00pm news will eventually get re-branded as either The NOW Nashville or The NOW Music City as a result.

news89 467 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 From your News and Information Leader this isn't The NOW music city. I hope they keep John Young as VO. I just have that sad feeling after 18 years of Impact it will be gone. That leaves WDBJ going on 20 years this fall with running Impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susquvalleywgal 497 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Long live these open. I wonder if they will keep the beginning of it ... "FROM YOUR NEWS AND INFORMATION LEADER" ... we will see. Monday @ 4. -- Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 1847 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Would somebody record WTVF's opens on Monday mornings? I'm afraid that'll be the last we hear that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven 1945 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Would somebody record WTVF's opens on Monday mornings? I'm afraid that'll be the last we hear that. The "possible" swan song of Impact? Something to point out. This is first time (since June 2014) where all four of the local stations in town is using music from the local music company (WZTV - Glass, WSMV - The Tower, WKRN - Coverage & WTVF - Impact). That alone is a rarity. Also WTVF was the only Journal station with a 615 theme, while the others were using Arnold themes. Of course, should this be the "swan song" of Impact on WTVF tomorrow morning, that would bring it back to three. But it could possibly be a second station dropping its 615 theme, should that Nexstar/MG deal goes through, knowing how Nexstar rolls with Arnold themes. From your News and Information Leader this isn't The NOW music city. I hope they keep John Young as VO. I just have that sad feeling after 18 years of Impact it will be gone. That leaves WDBJ going on 20 years this fall with running Impact. And that certain NPG station in California isn't far behind WDBJ in that run (KEYT).

LexTVandRadio 416 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Anyone think they will replace the name of Newschannel? Also change the logo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swillh2k2 203 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Anyone think they will replace the name of Newschannel? Also change the logo? Probably not. The only changes will likely be dropping Impact for Inergy and a move to the standardized graphics. Scripps keeps things status-quo in the logo/branding department for the most part.

MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 752 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Scripps is really moving them out now.. Wonder who's next... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 1847 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Anyone think they will replace the name of Newschannel? Also change the logo? 1) NO because WEWS uses it as well. 2) NO because they won't. If WTMJ kept theirs, then WTVF is expected to keep theirs as well.

TennTV1983 756 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 More on the new digs from Lelan Statom: They will be switching to the Scripps package; however, I have a feeling WTVF's new set will look similar to what KLAS debuted a while back.
