Conrad 113 Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 Yes and an ancillary master at FAA. Are the WFMY and WTLV/WJXX hubs still there?
H4UL4U 127 Posted August 14, 2018 Posted August 14, 2018 Are the WFMY and WTLV/WJXX hubs still there? They are. In fact, the Greensboro hub is hiring.
Weeters 1981 Posted August 14, 2018 Posted August 14, 2018 Didn't Tegna disband some of the hubbing that existed inside the group? This came up during Hurricane Harvey. KHOU's master control used to be at WFAA (with the other Texas Belo stations), moved back locally to KHOU (and they were apparently in the process of updating it when Harvey hit) sometime after the Belo sale, and has now temporarily moved back to WFAA in the wake of Harvey. It's more like they're "clustered" and not "hubbed." There are a few pockets here and there that do it, some of the stations are still solo, and there's no central facility controlling them all.

Regional hubs are what Tegna calls them, but that is a perfect description as well. I remember reading on here about the ongoing "un-hubbing" of the former Belo properties. FWIW, KBMT still serves as the hub for the former London stations whose hub was set up before the sale to Gannett.
Payton39 27 Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 Born and raised; and I watch out of market on NewsOn... what you need? I don't need anything. I was just commenting I hate their news intro. Another TEGNA station, right?
Eat News 4745 Posted August 22, 2018 Author Posted August 22, 2018 KFMB Ep's and others have been spotted at KUSA in the past few days... Why??? Training ... New news graphics training crash course for the news production crews. N.F.D.
TheRob 940 Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 Remember, Tegna wants everyone to forget what they learned in journalism school. They're in the entertainment business now.
TheRolyPoly 2655 Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 Remember, Tegna wants everyone to forget what they learned in journalism school. They're in the entertainment business now. Amen. They'll run WTOL and KWES to the ground and yet, they'll still be second because WNWO and KMID have no shot of catching up.
Eat News 4745 Posted August 30, 2018 Author Posted August 30, 2018 A Minor problem at KFMB.... 2 days ago they (KFMB-8) posted a throwback piece on the website and the YT throwback site. It was a 1978 package about tourism at Lake Tahoe. Just one minor problem... The story was fronted by reporter Mac Heald. Do an internet search of "Mac Heald KFMB reporter" and see what sprouts up.... All puns intended. The package was yanked from both sites shortly after the "comments" from youtube started rolling in. Whoops.
NotInTV 63 Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 http://www.cbs8.com/category/154835/meet-the-team KFMB updated their "Meet the Team" page to include a Director, and members of the digital team. Good on KFMB to include some people that work behind the scenes!
NotInTV 63 Posted September 19, 2018 Posted September 19, 2018 They've been doing the newscasts all morning without their monitor wall. I wonder if it broke, or if they're updating it with new graphics software?
SFTV 540 Posted September 19, 2018 Posted September 19, 2018 They've been doing the newscasts all morning without their monitor wall. I wonder if it broke, or if they're updating it with new graphics software? You would think they would go to their basketball court secondary set
NotInTV 63 Posted September 19, 2018 Posted September 19, 2018 You'd think... Maybe they will for 11AM. Here's what it looks like for those who haven't seen it: They actually stopped using it for the "Morning Extra" show, which I am 100% OK with.
SFTV 540 Posted September 19, 2018 Posted September 19, 2018 Before the set refresh, they had issues with the old monitor wall twice. When they had the 3 monitor wall set up where the weather monitor is currently located, they literally just put it behind the anchors while it was getting fixed.
NotInTV 63 Posted September 19, 2018 Posted September 19, 2018 They got it working for the 11AM show.
Rusty Muck 4426 Posted September 19, 2018 Posted September 19, 2018 Amen. They'll run WTOL and KWES to the ground and yet, they'll still be second because WNWO and KMID have no shot of catching up. WTOL is one of those "if it ain't broke" stations; they'll impose the TEGNA style at 11/36... but to a much lesser extent, a la WKYC (another station they haven't and aren't going to run to the ground). Toledo is basically a two-station market. Excluding a brief period in the late 90s, TV24 has never been competitive.

TVnews 4 Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 Do you know when the new look will debut? soon. Heard they're undergoing training now.
NotInTV 63 Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 soon. Heard they're undergoing training now. The current graphics have been having issues, look at that informative ticker. Also the new look has been used on all recently created promos, so I agree it'll be soon. Just not sure exactly when.

Most templates don't say test, but a description of the graphic. If it said "ticker" then it's more likely.
NotInTV 63 Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 KFMB has added a 30-minute 10PM newscast to The CW on weekends Sundays.
padrechuck 25 Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 Has the KFMB website switched to TEGNA design yet?
NotInTV 63 Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 Has the KFMB website switched to TEGNA design yet? Not yet.. But that brings up some good points: • Will they combine CBS8.com and TheCWSanDiego.com like KING/KONG, KUSA/KTVD, KBNT/KJAC, KREM/KSKN or WWL/WUPL? My guess is yes, as I could not find any Tegna duopolies that had separate websites. • If so, will they use CBS8.com, KFMB.com, or News8SD.com? Heck, news8.com is for sale if they want to shell out the cash.
