The "3" Thread

I don't see how they can possibly justify keeping the beyond ridiculous branding and presentation style on WKYC seen as of lately.  Their ratings have been so awful that the whole debacle should be included in future academic textbooks to show college students what not to do in branding a TV news department.

 

I would guess in the last sweeps they were a distant fourth?

That would be nice! Though I’m not sure they’re giving up on the “new 3” - just yet, keeping those silly names and inane “newscasts” in tact, for now.

 

Perhaps this ratings period will be the wake-up call WKYC needs to rewind back to an actual, relevant station again?!  

They probably won't. At least not yet. Its possible if the ratings aren't good, then they may change things, but I'm not holding my breath...

Tegna should've gone with this package.

 

 

A designer at Tegna told me that if you want to be involved in the collaborative design process, apply for the open motion design position here: https://www.jobs.net/jobs/tegna/en-us/job/United-States/Motion-Graphic-Designer/J3Q5ZX757HK8MCYB7T4/

 

They would love your great ideas and to provide you with industry experience!

I would love to apply for that position! Too bad isn't not a remote job.

Jim Donovan is celebrating 35 years at WKYC this month.  The station is saluting him online and on-air.

They probably just weren't paying attention and/or didn't get a new mug. They might not even know WKYC has a new logo. No way WKYC is changing the logo back now.

[Weeters 1973]

Those mugs were sent in years ago and sit in a cabinet in 30 Rock. They probably just have someone go grab one every night, and WKYC never sent in a new one or told them to remove the old one.

I’m sure there’s also no rhyme or reason to the picking either. There are some that get a lot of use while others don’t.  I do believe the photographer sends a image to the station so they can promote it. I’ve seen WBAL post an image of it up on Facebook a saying their mugs featured on tonight’s show.  It would be interesting if they sent out a custom tease with the mug.

Apparently, fellow Tegna station WCNC took the time to send 30 Rock an updated mug as demonstrated on Thursday's installment of Late Night With Seth Myers.

As for the Tegna station that rebranded their news shows into shit like, “Go!”, “What’s New” and “Front Row” word is the Feb book was not kind to them.

“Strange what happens when you put someone in charge with zero local news experience,” said one station insider to FTVLive.

The insider added, “The egos of the people in charge are way too big to admit failure.”

Well that insider isn't wrong. They don't want to admit that this experiment failed. I mean if the ratings doesn't show that this isn't working, I don't know what will.

Looks like Gray could be trading WOIO/WUAB for WKYC!

She is still there - it must have been her TEGNA furlough week.

Hiring a new graphic artist means nothing. People come and go, and they're replaced. They're not coming out with something new anytime soon.

WKYC should of revived the snake 3 logo from the 1980's and used it instead.

Looks like the GM seems to be OK with the sinking ship that is WKYC under Adam Miller. GM Micki Byrnes nominated Miller for a Crain’s “40 under 40 award” this year...

Resurrecting this topic after a year to report that WKYC seems to be going with a more “traditional” (and very blue) open for its 6pm newscast.  (The name remains…as does the circle 3 and in-newscast graphics.) Are bigger changes coming?
