Recovering Producer 410 Posted March 30 Posted March 30 Whoever decided "as we come on the air tonight" needs to be said in the first 30 seconds of every newscast deserves a life full of minor inconveniences and to step on legos when they get up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. 2

That, and shooting/framing Morgan Ashley in front of the backdrop/screen w/the main story as if someone else was with her in the main studio; with only one main anchor, the camera should customarily be full on that main anchor (the two-shot format should only be used when there are actually two people in the shot).
MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 1158 Posted March 30 Posted March 30 This is worded as a Temu produced version of local news --- smh
Drew 158 Posted March 30 Posted March 30 I believe it's the result of some recent changes across the Yakima/Tri-Cities and Spokane markets. From what I can tell, KNDO/KNDU are now primarily producing weekday morning, 5pm, and 6pm newscasts, along with limited weekend broadcasts. KHQ's 11pm newscast is now airing on KNDO/KNDU, and they’ve added a 9pm broadcast on their SWX, after losing the 10pm newscast on KAYU. The 9pm show is called NonStop Local Pulse Prime and I guess they decided to rename the 11pm to that as well.
Dave Lampstein 287 Posted March 30 Posted March 30 (edited) Garbage like this sometimes makes me feel like Nexstar is doing us a service by killing off local television news. But thanks KHQ for bringing me all this “content”. I love content. I am a good consumer. Edited March 30 by Dave Lampstein 2

mouseboy33 137 Posted March 30 Posted March 30 Ewwww. I gotta brush. I just threw up in my mouth. All of that is horrible. Who is creating this garbage. NONSTOP LOCAL PULSE PRIME @ 9pm. Could the title be any longer. AND THOSE ARE NEW GRAPHICS!? I thought it was early 00's. What utter tripe. Everything about this newscast is awful.
FiveNews 481 Posted March 30 Posted March 30 I was in the Spokane market this weekend. I live in the Los Angeles DMA. To say watching Spokane local news was tough is an understatement. KXLY and KREM definitely lead the pack. Even though their new branding is garbage, KHQ did air live weekend news on Saturday and Sunday along with KXLY.
mre29 1967 Posted March 30 Posted March 30 "NonStop Local Pulse Prime" is....a mouthful. Either "Pulse" or "Prime" needs to go, but I'm not sure which. Are their newscasts in other dayparts just called "NonStop Local Pulse"? And then there's the announcer's enunciation-free delivery.... 1

mre29 1967 Posted March 30 Posted March 30 10 minutes ago, Drew said: no they are titled NonStop Local Wake Up, NonStop Local at 4, 5, and 6 In that case, I'm going to double-down on a word needing to go. "Prime" can at least be inferred to mean primetime (or close enough), so "Pulse" should get the boot.
TheRolyPoly 3510 Posted March 30 Posted March 30 So if that's the case, then Pulse Prime is aired new at 9pm on SWX with a repeat at 11pm on KHQ, KNDO, and KNDU.
Drew 158 Posted March 30 Posted March 30 I think its live again at 11pm but a repeat does air at 10pm on SWX
TheRolyPoly 3510 Posted March 31 Posted March 31 1 hour ago, Drew said: I think its live again at 11pm but a repeat does air at 10pm on SWX Not really. If you watch the video closely, S31MA points out that the weather computers when doing the radar loop stops at 9:30pm, meaning they probably do it live at 9:00pm (SWX) and repeat it twice more at 10:00 (SWX) and 11:00 (KHQ/KNDO/KNDU). There's also a live 7am hour of news now on SWX as well to replace half of what used to be Good Day on KAYU.
FiveNews 481 Posted March 31 Posted March 31 I believe FTV or it was mentioned here in a different thread. In the Spokane market, either KREM or KXLY has the only live 11pm news in the market. Can't recall which station.
MidwestTV 1358 Posted March 31 Posted March 31 KHQ has always baffled me. They've taken the exact same package and just modified it to death. They could ABSOLUTELY do better but insist upon...this.
