tyrannical bastard 3712 Posted January 11, 2022 Author Share Posted January 11, 2022 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... 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEPANews 48 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 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. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. . Edited August 5, 2022 by DirtyHarry 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannical bastard 3712 Posted August 5, 2022 Author Share Posted August 5, 2022 WNEP is doing what avid fans of the station have done for years.... They're uploading old newscasts of theirs to YouTube, and even featuring them on their OTT feeds! I don't know if "Talkback 16" went back that far, but it would be interesting if it did! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susquvalleywgal 501 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Well, which one of us called into WNEP TalkBack Feedback, as a 80-year old person complaining about the word NXT? LOL 1 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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". 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GodfreyGR 561 Posted Wednesday at 09:32 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 09:32 PM WNEP is making news for a test of the election ticker that broadcast on-air over the weekend... And the station has issued a statement about it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the station has issued a statement about it 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DENDude 197 Posted Thursday at 06:22 PM Share Posted Thursday at 06:22 PM Tegna's ticker does look a lot like what Hearst uses for it's stations, KUSA & KTVD have been using this style of election ticker since 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEPANews 48 Posted Thursday at 07:06 PM Share Posted Thursday at 07:06 PM (edited) 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. Edited Friday at 12:14 PM by NEPANews 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
