KGW and WBIR used This Is Home with the TENGA graphics for a month or two before switching to C Clarity in 2018. At least they kept their VO's.

At least the 10TV folks have someone on staff to bring the team up to speed on their new reality...

bmasters1 403 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Bumping this up: just wanted to say that, per what I've seen of the Gatehouse papers after the merger happened (I was worried that the Gatehouse papers would become USA Today Network papers and be even worse post-merger), what I thought would happen has not come to pass-- the Gatehouse papers are now credited to Gannett, but still retain Gatehouse layouts, per this example from today's Spartanburg Herald-Journal: https://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/?tfp_display=list&tfp_id=SC_HJ I was glad about this, because I didn't want the USA Today Network to swallow up the Herald-Journal alongside the Greenville News and Anderson Independent-Mail!

The merger was finalized a month ago. Way too soon to see what might or might not happen, particularly with it being the busy holiday season.

So basically, you think the Herald-Journal, Florida Times-Union, and other former Gatehouses might still end up being USA Today Network papers?

Most likely. I like the look of the Gatehouse websites better, but I think Gannett has a more integrated system in place.

Conrad 113 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Apologies for going off topic. It seems like GateHouse/Gannett is the Sinclair or the Nexstar of the newspaper industry. Buying up whatever newspapers they can find, and destroying them. I'm sorry to see GateHouse buy Gannett. Even if the Gannett newspapers were already shells of what they were pre-split.

Bumping this up-- apparently the Columbus Dispatch is becoming a UTN/Gannett paper (this despite having the former letter/number pagination scheme [C1, A10]); sooner or later, I think this one will start paginating (like all UTNs/Gannetts) as 1C and 10A. https://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/?tfp_display=list&tfp_id=OH_CD Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17176-tegna-to-acquire-dispatch-broadcast-group/page/5/#findComment-245123 Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzard59 41 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Sounds like WBNS is finally going to get a Tegna-style website on June 9th. I couldn't find anything on whether WTHR's website will change that day as well. https://www.10tv.com/article/10tv-launching-new-website-mobile-app Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17176-tegna-to-acquire-dispatch-broadcast-group/page/5/#findComment-246261 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megatron81 258 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Surprised it took TEGNA a long time to change the website I thought they would've already done it by now as I think TEGNA changed the websites to the TV stations they bought from Tribune.

DirtyHarry 727 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 The WBNS website looks fine on my desktop screen from what I've seen of it. I still like the old website better. Complaint: The Reds, Bengals, Browns, Indians and Cavaliers are defacto local teams of interest (and arguably the Steelers). Shouldn't they also have links on the menu? How hard is it to link to WKYC stories for Cleveland teams? WKYC does include links for Ohio State Sports.

DirtyHarry 727 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 WTOL still has the old handheld device layout. It sucks, but I see both WBNS and WKYC have a new layout for handheld devices and that seems to look fine. WTHR still has their old page.
