tyrannical bastard 3933 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 To be honest, I think all the ex-WV Media stations could use new logos. The WOWK one goes all the way back to the late 90s with their Hearst-esque look. (before that it was the "13"elieves logo) WVMH simply changed the color of the current "13" and cookie-cuttered it for their other acquisitions.... 6 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/280/#findComment-200535 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColtFromGulfcoast 707 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Could we please retire the SAM Extreme package already? It's so dated. I mean of all the packages you could choose, Extreme? Seriously? It got old very quickly on KMSS and they've only used it since 2015. Guardian would sound way better at KMSS imo. In WOWK's case, they would have sounded better just using CBS Local. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/280/#findComment-200597 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Extreme: loved hearing it on KOKI, but not ideal for the 2010s. I agree they could have chosen something more better. The good thing Aerial is gone thank goodness. It got old very quickly on KMSS and they've only used it since 2015. Guardian would sound way better at KMSS imo. In WOWK's case, they would have sounded better just using CBS Local. I mean it does work for the open at least, compared to KOLR's use of Overture.

El Paso is one of those "nothing happening" kind of media markets, considering that they are DMA #93. I think KTSM should be second now since KDBC/KFOX are probably in the dust.

I think KTSM should be second now since KDBC/KFOX are probably in the dust. So DMA rank determines whether anything is happening? One could argue that smaller markets with less revenue are more unstable... there is far more happening than you think. Don’t place much stock in DMA ranks... it’s not ranked by anything but population...

Since early February, they've re-added the traffic portion but now on Channel 36.3, rotating with weather on the new "Milwaukee PBS Weather and Traffic" channel. It made complete sense to do it (and they had lots of requests for it once the spectrum merge happened). I always wondered why they didn't make it part of the loop in the first place when they switched to the Local AccuWeather software with non-com tweaks. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/280/#findComment-200963 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrabbleship 429 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 The latest entry into the NMSA is that of WLJC, a religious independent in the Lexington DMA, randomly picking up This is the Place. Somehow earlier this week, WTVQ began producing a 9:00 newscast for WLJC and that WLJC took the Antenna TV affiliation for Lexington off of WTVQ's overwhelmed hands. This is the first news sharing arrangement I can think of which a secular station has produced news for a religious station though WLJC's other subs include GetTV and This TV. I wonder if Morris is gearing up to buy them or to set up a situation where Morris cashes out and a new owner of WTVQ then buys WLJC and probably moves MyNet programming there. The owners of WLJC also owns two FM stations which are among the few KLove and Air1 stations that EMF hasn't gotten their paws on yet. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/280/#findComment-201009 Share on other sites More sharing options...
