GodfreyGR 652 Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I'm curious to why the Gray logo has to be on the front of the desk? KOTA/KEVN have been adding it to their weather graphics as well (and not doing it well). 1 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16928-gray-media-general-thread/page/26/#findComment-266949 Share on other sites More sharing options...

These sets are becoming more room-like, and not in a good way. And what's the deal with the massive "Gray" logo on the right?

CircleSeven 1955 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Gray is removing its stations from NewsON at the end of the year. They will continue to stream on Syncbak's VUit.

CircleSeven 1955 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 A small M&A. Gray is LP-picking again. They're grabbing six more LPs from Lowcountry Media for $1.165M. K19MZ-D Arriba, CO K32OG-D Pueblo, CO W19FA-D Bangor, ME W36FM-D Etna, ME W31FD-D Beaufort, SC W29FR-D Lebanon-Nashville, TN Interesting note about W19FA one.

CLETVFan 367 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 It appears that WTCL 6 is on the air in Cleveland. Telemundo on 6.1 and Circle on 6.2.

CircleSeven 1955 Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 (edited) Quote W29FR-D Lebanon-Nashville, TN - WSMV, which RabbitEars already shows as W29FR-D as repeating I should also point out regarding the W29FR. Its antenna/transmitter resides at the former WJFB facility near Lebanon (which Weigel moved it to the immediate part of the area earlier this year). I wouldn't be surprised if Gray moves it closer to the city (possibly WSMV's tower), should it gets the greenlight. It appears Gray is not done. They're snagging six more LPs from DTV America for $210K. W29FP-D Montgomery, AL W18FA-D Gainesville, FL W19EX-D Gainesville, FL W17EL-D Ocala, FL W36FL-D Athens, GA W24OD-D New Bern, NC Don't know why they need three transmitters near Gainesville. But the Athens one is probably for competitive reasons. WGCL's rival WSB has a fill in translator in Athens (RF 17).

I'd think one of the Gainesville signals would be to pool up affiliations (maybe give its CW affiliation a full HD signal as a separate channel).

There are some that carry three HD streams (some are Gray stations, i.e. KCRG). As long as the stations don't go over the bandwidth limit of 19.4MB for ATSC 1 signals. Not sure what the limit is on ATSC 3 signals.

GodfreyGR 652 Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Not sure if this is a Gray or CBS issue- but would someone tell KBJR (Duluth) to stop running the generic promo with Gayle King for "CBS This Morning" (old name, studio, graphics, plus it has Anthony Mason still as the co-host!)? That said, you wonder why the ratings still suck... The affiliates don't even market the correct show (and another tangent, KVLY to this day says "CBS This Morning starts next) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16928-gray-media-general-thread/page/26/#findComment-268158 Share on other sites More sharing options...
