TennTV1983 804 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 The hybrid virtual/hard set they had was an interesting but weird concept to begin with. This won't be missed at all.

tyrannical bastard 3951 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 It's probably suffered since it was concieved in the LIN era, constructed and launched in the Media General era, and Nexstar has probably plotted long and hard to get rid of it....

That would be my guess. It'd be ridiculous to actually keep the current package they have when they have half of the other one. BTW, the set will debut sometime in October. 41 minutes ago, TennTV1983 said: The hybrid virtual/hard set they had was an interesting but weird concept to begin with. This won't be missed at all. Absolutely agree. I never liked this set, and I'm so glad to see it go!

Nexstar has had a very good relationship with SAM for years. That and most of the new stuff Warner Chappell has been churning out lately sound rather similar to each other outside of the signature notes.

Given WKBN is a CBS Affiliate most likely CBS Local or another package from SAM followed by the Nexstar-CBS graphics (I could be wrong about this). now for the set it will probably be proper like most Nexstar stations out there, the chroma set was a good experiment tbh.

That would be my guess. I like CBS Local, so I wouldn't mind hearing it on WKBN. Now one has to wonder if WYTV will get the Nexstar ABC package.

WCPM hasn't been putting out much and the stuff that they sell is all composed by Tom Snider. No one else is really working on new music.

tyrannical bastard 3951 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Well, we now know how much WKBN's news director wants the virtual set killed to death... Story from FTVLIVE As for his prior remarks about how great it was, I'm sure his Lin/MG bosses were breathing down his neck......now that Nexstar runs the show, that's ancient history.. And apparently, WYTV is just getting a robotic camera upgrade... On 8/15/2019 at 8:57 PM, tjt24 said: That's Len Rome. He's been at WYTV for decades. He may as well be WYTV. The same could be said about Stan Boney until WKBN "poached" him a few years back... Very easy to do since both stations are under one roof!

I really wished Stan would've stayed at WYTV and they would have actually got two anchors to do the news so Stan could have just done the weather.
