Eat News 4745 Posted July 15, 2018 Author Share Posted July 15, 2018 Ok,Ok... As much as I bitch about Ch-8 they finally have done something that should have been done years ago. They finally are digging into the archives and running "throwback" segments from as far as the 1970's. Some of these segments are not really too "PC" for you sensitive and easily outraged types...but the segments are fun to watch. Nice way for the tape archive editors to ensure job security? They put up a youtube page. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMscWako8oDvpdF4pppku-g Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16271-kfmb-slow-death-thread/page/4/#findComment-207536 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotInTV 63 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 So something is up with KFMB's graphics recently. First, they get rid of the flashing beacon behind the News 8 Logo. It was that way all weekend, and this morning. Then, it's back, and the whole L3 is visible during a commercial. Finally, I noticed a weird doubling-up of the L3 graphics, as visible in the included .gif. Am I right to assume that they'll be utilizing the Tegna graphics soon? Either testing the new graphics has messed up their current ones, or somebody isn't paying attention. Here's the L3 visible on a commercial: Here's the doubling up bug: Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16271-kfmb-slow-death-thread/page/4/#findComment-207673 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotInTV 63 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Also no 5PM newscast today? Just a prerecorded "Life behind the lens" show? Something's up. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16271-kfmb-slow-death-thread/page/4/#findComment-207677 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFTV 526 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 They just did a mini update on FB Live saying there’s technical bugs and hope to be up by 7pm or 10 on The CW if not, 11 on CBS 8 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16271-kfmb-slow-death-thread/page/4/#findComment-207690 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad 113 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I got a 503 Service Unavailable error on the image. But, looks like the Tegnatization of KFMB has started. Looks like KFMB is starting to use the modern Tegna graphics for a few things: <edit> Gif broke, fixed </edit> Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16271-kfmb-slow-death-thread/page/4/#findComment-207698 Share on other sites More sharing options...
H4UL4U 127 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I can't find the job posting right now, but last week I saw an open position at KFMB for some kind of (commercial) traffic liason with WideOrbit experience a must. The posting also said correspondence with the traffic hub in Denver is part of the position, so that right there tells you its already moved out of house. Also, does Tegna have a master control hub at KUSA?

NotInTV 63 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Sabrina Fein (Formerly of XETV/KUSI) is also looking for work. I wonder how she'd feel working at the company that killed her station of nearly 6 years.. Sabrina's Resume: With that Master's in Social Media degree, Tegna would love her. Plus she has an AMS seal of approval, which is nice. Then again: With Kerri Lane, Amanda Shotsky, and Sabrina Fein, we almost have the XETV team back. Now we just need Lynda Martin. Say Lynda, there's a job posting for an anchor... P.S. - Heather Myers also used to be at XETV.

SFTV 526 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Oops! P.S. Hopefully this image stays working. I was never fond of the Monitor Wall length. I liked how they went wider though. It looked like a last minute add on since the Rear Projector was literally behind the monitor wall and a bit smaller. They could have at least raise the monitor a tad bit higher or add another row on top.

rkolsen 1684 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 [QUOTE="Eat News, post: 215338, member: 2985"]That would be the replacement for the old sat truck "Unit-8" in the fleet. This does not look like a DSNG-KU unit but only an IP-KU based unit. @rkolsen can you elaborate or provide some help for us? Is it only IP and Dejaro based? Am I missing something obvious here?[/QUOTE] You have it right video can be sent as data either through the Ku band connection, through Dejero or Dejero using Ku solely or Dejero cell + Ku. Not sure if it replaced the old truck. What’s neat is that they included a Teradek system which allows wireless HD-SDI transmission back to base and transmitted through the above processes. Perfect for when your in a building or can’t park near the scene or in a crowd where a typical wireless CNG wouldn’t work. With the powersystem they could still transmit while the cars off.

TexasTVNews 1377 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 It would have been a lot worse if they drop the News8 branding for KFMB News. 'FMB would have taken a page right out of the WFAA playbook, but I'm glad they'll keeping the News8 branding.
