Breaking News 839 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 They could have done better. Yeah and that Channel 4 logo still looks horrible. 3
TheRob 938 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 KFSM has signed a lease for a new building in Johnson, Ark., between Fayetteville and Springdale. The operations are currently split between sites in Fort Smith and a shopping mall in Fayetteville, 60 miles apart. https://talkbusiness.net/2018/02/kfsm-channel-5-building-new-headquarters-in-northwest-arkansas/ 2

Ok.
Samantha 2902 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 Wait, so they're moving their studios 60 miles away? Ok. This is a replacement for the Fayetteville site in the Northwest Arkansas Mall. After this, KFSM plans to update its Fort Smith facility. They are having to do some politics as to where their newscasts will originate full time. KFSM's news shows come from Fort Smith. KHBS/KHOG has its primary studio at Rogers, and KNWA/KFTA has primary studios at Fayetteville (though both of the latter have Fort Smith facilities as well). I'd be interested to see which stations rate better in which areas.
jbnews 345 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 Ive heard that WBAL will be splitting up Donna's shifts between Deborah and Mindy. Then move Megan into the Co-Anchor on mornings. All in the works still and could change.I think they should promote Kate Amara, demote Andre Hepkins, hire new male and female anchor, add 4pm news, expand noon news to an hour, and morning news to 4am.
NWA_TV_guy 157 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 This is a replacement for the Fayetteville site in the Northwest Arkansas Mall.

KHBS/KHOG has its primary studio at Rogers, and KNWA/KFTA has primary studios at Fayetteville (though both of the latter have Fort Smith facilities as well). I'd be interested to see which stations rate better in which areas. And the new facility is literally down the street from down the current Fayetteville studio in the Northwest Arkansas Mall. When Hearst moved into the Rogers facility they tried continuing broadcasting from Fort Smith and Rogers (once they moved out of the Fayetteville space), but that did not last long. I figure Tribune will phase out newscasts from Fort Smith once the new facility is complete and staff can get moved to the area. 1
rkolsen 1686 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 I think they should promote Kate Amara, demote Andre Hepkins, hire new male and female anchor, add 4pm news, expand noon news to an hour, and morning news to 4am. Well that’s a lot. A few of their shows are inked in for a while like Ellen and Steve. Kate Amara did the arching jo for a while she launched the 10PM newscasts before doing a few years in the DC bureaux. She returned to WBAL and I think is happy at being their lead political reporter. One show they could drop would be Access Live if they want to do a 4PM. It’s been used for years as a filler show. Also WBAL still doesn’t clear the fourth third hour (Megyn Kelly is considered seperate) of Today. The shows preempted in the morning for Live with Kelly and Ryan and at night with Access Live.

I figure Tribune will phase out newscasts from Fort Smith once the new facility is complete and staff can get moved to the area. I'm surprised that with NW Arkansas being a split market, I'm surprised that no station has pulled a WSAZ and do two-city news.
ChesapeakeTV 312 Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 As P.B. Media mentioned, KHBS/KHOG used to...the practice went back to at least the 80s going by the voiceover copy in their opens.

bammy99 25 Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 Shocking news coming out of El Paso tonight as KVIA anchor Rick Cabrera announced on the radio he'll be leaving the station. The report from the Las Cruces Sun-News is here.

Breaking News 839 Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 That looks soooooo much better than the logo they have now. This was under Belo. I thought it wasn't shabby at all. 2
WAVY 10 Fan 233 Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 That looks soooooo much better than the logo they have now. The shot of the new logo reminds me a little of the mid-1990s logo (a close 2nd to the Corinthian Broadcasting era logo it replaced as my favorites for the station) 1
djlynch 56 Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 ...and here’s another example of 40/29 Did I see correctly that the DMA runs all the way from southwest Missouri to the Oklahoma/Texas line? I know that there's no big city between OKC/Tulsa and Texarkana/Shreveport, but that seems like a very long distance. 2
east-tx-tv 121 Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 Did I see correctly that the DMA runs all the way from southwest Missouri to the Oklahoma/Texas line? I know that there's no big city between OKC/Tulsa and Texarkana/Shreveport, but that seems like a very long distance. According to this map I found, it doesn't quite get to the TX line; McCurtain Co., OK and the SW counties of AR that border TX are part of Shreveport-Texarkana.
TheRolyPoly 2593 Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 Telemundo is on SiriusXM. Yes, the first television network to be available on satellite radio. First before ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, The CW and even Univision and UniMas. Telemundo is available on Channel 469 and does air all of Telemundo's programs and sports events. 2
JCB4TV 351 Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 According to this map I found, it doesn't quite get to the TX line; McCurtain Co., OK and the SW counties of AR that border TX are part of Shreveport-Texarkana. I have attached this map of Arkansas showing each county in relation to their DMA. There are 7 DMAs within The Natural State and are as follows: Purple: Memphis - DMA 50 Magenta: Little Rock - DMA 58 Brown: Springfield, MO - DMA 75 Green: Texarkana - DMA 83 Blue: Fort Smith - DMA 98 Pink: El Dorado - DMA 137 Red: Jonesboro - DMA 182 As for the Fort Smith DMA, in addition to the Arkansas Counties, it does spill over into Le Flore & Sequoyah Counties in Oklahoma. As a matter of fact, KHBS' stick is located near Poteau, Oklahoma.
MidwestTV 1245 Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 Has no one mentioned KCCI meteorologist Frank Scaglione apparently soliciting minors? He's no longer employees, and it sounds like management isn't telling their employees much either. https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/crime-and-courts/2018/02/19/kcci-tv-des-moines-meteorologist-accused-inappropriate-behavior-snapchat-twitter-frank-scaglione/350171002/ 1

What is it with these twinks lately? 2
