The WNEP Newswatch 16 Thread for ALL of Northeastern and Central Pennsylvania!


Recommended Posts

  • 5 months later...

Looks like they’ve dusted off the ol’ Action 16 moniker from the 70s-2000s for their new investigative reporting.  


I feel like it’s the first we’ve seen any WNEP branding onscreen without the big surrounding box and call letters for quite a while.  Doesn’t look bad.

Knowing TENGA that might be a new logo sometime in the future

Good old WNEP. 

For all of the love the music gets across Northeastern and ALL of Central Pennsylvania...

They still get the callers who can't stand when the lottery numbers come on...

 

 

They had another one of these segments on the 11:00 p.m. newscast, 8/4/22, beginning after the 23 minute mark. The first guy complains about the theme music, the next woman thinks that people from out of state should be banned from buying lottery tickets and they keep joking about the theme music right into the commercial. Hilarious.

Talkback Feedback!  This segment is always gold.

Well, which one of us called into WNEP TalkBack Feedback, as a 80-year old person complaining about the word NXT? LOL

 

 

 

TBH, the first caller is my spirit animal. 😛

 

But seriously, if someone tease a story as "next" it better be the first story after the break. It's slightly forgivable if it's second or even third (if the preceding stories are maybe short VOs), but if a story is teased as "next" but is multiple stories later or even several blocks later, it's super annoying. At least some viewers notice if not a lot, and I'd argue it adds to distrust of "the media".

This was an error, but one that could easily have been avoided by master control, given how RWNJs predictably reacted online. Also, the layout of WNEP’s ticker looks very similar to Hearst’s election results tickers, down to the bracket-style separator.

From the perspective of an NEP weekday producer at the station that I know, they acknowledged that it was indeed a genuine mistake for the testing to air on live feed, and when the crew there saw it, they were very much like “oh sh*t,” and rushed it off.  
 

However, folks have expressed their internal disappointment and frustration with the situation, as TEGNA suits are pretty miffed someone could’ve made such an error, given the current political climate.  Not at all the attention they want.

And so now the Tegna suits have directed station IT to lock down and restrict access to the election systems. 🙄  You'd think they would have a regular standard of appropriate access for various workgroups.
