allstar2003 0 Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Buried inside Today’s Columbus Dispatch article about WBNS once again winning sweeps. WCMH Confirms what I have been expecting for a while. WCMH will be going HD some time this month. Excert from WBNS dominates in ‘sweeps’ month By Tim Feran THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH WCMH was first in weekend-morning newscasts, building on its weekday Today win. Ratings for its weekday newscasts at noon, 5 p.m. and 6 p.m increased compared with a year ago. "NBC 4 looks forward to an exciting end to 2007 with the launch of NBC 4 newscasts in high definition," said Rick Rogala, vice president and general manager. "Our momentum will continue in 2008 with the launch of 4 on the Square, the NBC 4 studio in Downtown Columbus, and the continued growth of our local news and information programming."
Mrtraveler01 739 Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 I thought their downtown studio was supposed to be open already. What happened?
allstar2003 0 Posted December 1, 2007 Author Posted December 1, 2007 Well, construction delays are to blame for why NBC 4's Downtown Studios aren't open yet, But it looks like they might be in there Downtown digs by February sweeps. ( I'm guessing but the studios are mostly completed so hopefully I'm right on this)
jero23 105 Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 Well, you all know that means so-long to the NBC O&O graphics. I can only image what horrible graphics Media General are going to impose upon the Columbus DMA. I ABSOLUTELY HATE WVTM's new graphics. They are crappy, and Media General should have kept logo and updated the Pyburn like WNBC new HD graphics. Also the new logo SUX.
allstar2003 0 Posted December 22, 2007 Author Posted December 22, 2007 I might as well give you a update what WCMH is doing 1. The downtown studios are completed. NBC4 Today and Midday will be broadcasting out there by early January and the Whole Broad and High complex Looks tight including the signs look fantastic. 2. speaking of the signs, NBC 4 is getting a MG graphic package and contrary to what Jero23 thinks. It an Improvement for NBC4. they have had that NBC O&O package for going on 9 years. So to us they were getting stale. On horrible graphics WSYX/WTTE still are the king of horrible graphics.
10Viewer 338 Posted December 25, 2007 Posted December 25, 2007 The new Media General graphics would be a big improvement. They got the NBC O&O graphics package in 2002 with the latest update in 2005.
