Oh that poor man. I can only imagine his horror when he woke up in the morning and when he saw that TalkBack using blue, purple and orange. Joking aside, I wonder what kind of changes Tegna might have made if they had this type of feed back in 2017/18. It makes one think if this is WNEP's sly knock at Tegna.

jerseyfla 207 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I remember when Belo changed the graphics at WWL back 8 or 9 years ago (I think) with a rotating logo bug in the right corner. The viewers complained left and right on social media and probably via phone too and within a week the rotating graphic was frozen. I wonder if more complaints ensued once Belo and Gannett merged to become TEGNA and launched the standardized packages to WWL. I'm sure Tegna brass said "to hell with the viewers" this time. I bet someone at WNEP gave Tegna brass the run down on what effects could happen if they ditch MCTYW Schwartz-style like ABC did with WPVI.

ecs0013 9 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) I'm a little bummed about WTHR getting Tegnafied (on top of everything else), so it's really nice to see WNEP being the little corner of the Tegna empire that is still kinda doing its own thing. I saw WNEP's stuff a few times when visiting family years ago, but I also completely forgot about Talkback 16 (I remember seeing clips on Last Week Tonight a few years ago)—the criticism and praise of the graphics from random people was just....perfect. Also, I just realized with WNEP being owned by Tribune previously, they were using the graphics that I think started at WTTV...it looks like they left the swirling CBS logo background in a few places hoping people wouldn't notice?!

NEPANews 52 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 The morning weather when Snedeker is on makes a graphic artist like myself CRINGE. The 7-Day looks slapped together by a 5 year old. Nothing in-line, differing fonts, the boxes just put wherever. Not to mention, in the AM and Noon, Temperatures for all days are displayed "High/Low", but in all other dayparts, it's "Low/High". Why? I realize WNEP can get away with most anything it seems in the TEGNA empire, but my god, I wonder if anyone at corporate pays attention to their broadcasts. 1 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17323-the-wnep-newswatch-16-thread-for-all-of-northeastern-and-central-pennsylvania/page/2/#findComment-249851 Share on other sites More sharing options...

This (up there) is tame! You should see what he did with the Tribune graphics. TEGNA knew what they was walking in to and still decided to keep it and "The Next 7 Days of Your Life" because it's a "GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE!". Besides, this is the morning newscast not the 6pm update.

tyrannical bastard 3948 Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 Word out of WNEP is that both the longtime General Manager and News Director are retiring in the next month. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2021/3/18/and-now-the-news-director-is-leaving Both have been around a long time, going all the way back to the original MCTYW.... It does beg the question if whoever comes in could change the music? Or will they hold their ground against Tegna and take the side of the viewers who may revolt if such a change is ever made?
