detroittv313 3 Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 WMYD (The MyNetworkTV affiliate in Detroit) is prepared to launch its first ever newscast called "TV 20 News at 10" The newscast will compete with its rival station, FOX Owned and Operated (O&O) WJBK. The newscast is slated to start this late-July.
detroittv313 3 Posted July 9, 2008 Author Posted July 9, 2008 Eventually, they will be produce it themselves, sort of speak.
Mrtraveler01 738 Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 It'll fail, sounds like WJBK has a strong following and newscasts like these never seem to chip away a station like WJBK's viewership.
detroittv313 3 Posted July 11, 2008 Author Posted July 11, 2008 Maybe, but if it does fail, it will be another dejavu of 2002 when WWJ-TV (the CBS O&O station) shut down its newscast after sister station WKBD (the CW O&O station) dropped theirs to have its newscast produced by WXYZ (the Scripps-owned ABC affiliate) before discontinuing it in 2004. WWJ is the only CBS O&O within the CBS Television Stations Group to not have a newscast because it wasn't intended to last long. Now they doing weather updates during The Early Show and at 11:00pm-11:02, I don't see WWJ doing another newscast in any or near future. But in your opinion, let us hope that WMYD's newscast will "crash-and-burn" like WWJ did.
lugnuts6 91 Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Its done by INN (KXJB) of Davenport,IA With no real TV studio for WMYD MY20NEWS, might work, then again ...
detroittv313 3 Posted July 12, 2008 Author Posted July 12, 2008 KXJB is the CBS affiliate for Fargo/Valley City, North Dakota, and INN (Independent Network News) has been off-the-air since 1990.
CircleSeven 1960 Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 KXJB is the CBS affiliate for Fargo/Valley City, North Dakota, and INN (Independent Network News) has been off-the-air since 1990. Â I believe he meant KLJB (FOX 18) in Davenport, their the flagship station of the Independent News Network. Â If this new Channel 20 newscast happens to be produce in Davenport, this show won't even last long.
detroittv313 3 Posted July 13, 2008 Author Posted July 13, 2008 INN produces a spanish newscast for WUDT-CA, the Equity Broadcasting-owned Univision affiliate in Detroit.
Marvin Dillweed 74 Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 INN produces a spanish newscast for WUDT-CA, the Equity Broadcasting-owned Univision affiliate in Detroit. Â Actually that newscast production ended a few weeks ago. Owner Equity shut down local news on all of their Univision affiliates.
detroittv313 3 Posted July 13, 2008 Author Posted July 13, 2008 I also forgot to mention that WMYD's 10pm newscast will be :30 minutes, compared to WJBK's 10pm newscast which is a full hour, coinciding with "NewsEdge at 11", which is also :30 minutes.
NewsJunkie247 1 Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 Does anybody know who will be anchoring the newscast?
lugnuts6 91 Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 probably the same folks who do the newscast for ABC Macon and WLTZ 38 Â http://www.inn-news.net is their website (i errored ,but corrected it)
detroittv313 3 Posted July 15, 2008 Author Posted July 15, 2008 I knew it! You guys are so right on this one. I checked the Independent News Network site and indeed, they produced newscasts for other stations as well. Looks like I was wrong about WMYD producing its own newscast.
lugnuts6 91 Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 From what I could see from the responses ..the first show wasnt exactly emmy worthy
detroittv313 3 Posted July 16, 2008 Author Posted July 16, 2008 I tuned in the entire newscast, and its debut on WMYD is off to somewhat of a not-a-bad-start of a open. It opened and broadcast the news for Grant Broadcasting-owned Fox affiliate KLJB in Quad Cities for a few minutes, before showing the "myTV20" logo for 30 seconds, which then switched to news in progress.
NewsJunkie247 1 Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Wow, it looks like the first broadcast didn't go that well. I had no idea what Independent News Network was until I read about it on their website. I know they produce the news from Davenport and it says that they use station reporters in each market to gather the local news and send it back to their headquarters, but their is only a few reporters listed on their website. Does this mean that each reporter for INN works in a seperate market or are their reporters and/or crews at the local TV station and then they send their stories back to Davenport?
lugnuts6 91 Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Yep, say a one man band from detroit does a stroy, the reporter shoots and edits it then its fed back to davenport to be made into the mess..uh finest and cheapest newscast. Â Sadly ABC Macon's website is no more, but you can check out the other INN affiliates websites (some do have pics of the anchors) Â KLJB-TV: Davenport, Iowa (9 PM News) flagship station WNCF: Montgomery, Alabama (10 PM News) WVHF-CA: Southern Indiana & Louisville, Kentucky KLAX-TV: Alexandria, Louisiana (6 PM and 10 PM News) WPGA-TV: Macon, Georgia (7 PM and 11 PM Newscasts) WGFL: Gainesville, Florida (INN National News and Weathercasts) WLTZ: Columbus, Georgia (6 PM, 7 PM and 11 PM News) WDRL: Roanoke, Virginia (INN National News and Weathercasts) WZDX: Huntsville, Alabama (9pm News) WMYD: Detroit, Michigan (10 PM News)
detroittv313 3 Posted July 17, 2008 Author Posted July 17, 2008 INN uses station reporters in each market (including Detroit) to cover local stories. The video and information is gathered and sent to Davenport. Its producers in conjuction with local staff to create the newscasts. The INN technical staff and anchors assemble the full newscast and deliver it to the station. Its services is delivered by satellite, fiber and IP technology.
RGSJenkins 435 Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 All newscasts are Monday to Friday except for KLJB, they air a Sunday newscast.
RGSJenkins 435 Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Sadly ABC Macon's website is no more, but you can check out the other INN affiliates websites (some do have pics of the anchors) ABC Macon's site is up again with a new look, even though it's only 25% complete, no pictures and one video. It's like a poor man's mix of MSNBC and CNN's website. :ack: Â Old look: http://www.wltz.com New Look: http://www.macon.tv
Blargh 2 Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 It probably will look nicer when they have the pictures sorted out.
lugnuts6 91 Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Finally (thanks to the WMYD digital signal) saw "MY20 NEWS AT TEN" Â ehhh, its ok for a newscast out of Davenport IA Â Love the graphics though, very BBC-ish
ybYellow 2 Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 ABC Macon's site is up again with a new look, even though it's only 25% complete, no pictures and one video.

PupReporter 0 Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Can this station really be taken seriously? It isn't a major affiliate, then again, neither was CW and look at KTLA. They only have one newscast and I'm not even sure they cover spot news. And do they even have live capabilities!?
Mrtraveler01 738 Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Can this station really be taken seriously? It isn't a major affiliate, then again, neither was CW and look at KTLA. They only have one newscast and I'm not even sure they cover spot news. And do they even have live capabilities!? Its produced at Granite's affiliate in Ft. Wayne, IN, which is also where WMYD's master control is. I know they have reporters based in Detroit but I dont think they have live capabilities.
