A3N 996 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 10NEWS has this new morning promo saying "A smarter way to start your day" coming in August or something.. Are they revamping it? Any word? Could be the launch of their HD newscasts. Supposedly, their control room is ready to go. I'm assuming that they still have to work on the lighting in the studio, which is just terrible, and maybe the studio cameras which really suck. Or they could have a "new" morning team in August. Who knows, It will be interesting because the morning anchor pro-tem Evy Ramos is pregnant and it looks like she is going to pop any day. So she probably will end up going on maternity leave any day now. Bring Lisa Lake back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rv65 3 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I guess the whataburger guy was a temporary announcer since they started doing promos with the KSWB announcer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rv65 3 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Now I saw the promo of the new set. Could very well be a fox O&O set. Looks good so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still don't know who is the 10 PM meteorologist. I think that Troy might be the only Sports personality at KSWB. I read in the U-T a few weeks ago that FOX 5 ND Rich Goldner said that the Ten PM newscast will NOT have a regular sportscast. Instead sports will be done only if it is needed. He mentioned that Hirsch will be used in other capacities aside from Sports. I'm guessing some G.A. reporting and Sports when it is needed. I think that Goldner also mentioned something about sports on Sunday's. I am not sure if it a Sunday sports show. The funny thing though, is that XETV will have a 5 minute sportscast at 11pm. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirsch likely has some time remaining on his contract and will stick around until the end, unless he is willing to do GA. Most sportos aren't big newsies.

I don't think that he was under contract for the past few years. I think that his contract ended when KSWB shut down its in-house news operations back in 2005. He was freelancing at KNSD doing G.A. reporting and was pretty good at it. Troy has also done some freelance at KSWB, he would sub in for Perette Godwin (morning news cut-in anchor) whenever she was out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFTV 484 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 ony a few more days. KSWB will debut HD and hopefully 1ONEWS as well? i really think they need to change the blue color lighting on its set during the evenings. its way to strong on the tv screen. get those DVR's and TiVo's ready!!!

A3N 996 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Maybe all the field segments are HD instead of using their SD field cameras. Reporting...not camera types. I think it might be OMB based on the fact that the rumor has been circulating for a while that KSWB was going have some OMB's. Also, it looks like there will be a sports show indeed. I checked zap2it.com and it has the show airing every Saturday and Sunday at 10:45PM. It is called FOX 5 News Game On and it is hosted by Troy Hirsch.

CircleSeven 1944 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I see a whole load of network reschedulings on Channel 6, based on what I've read from their lineup on their website. For example, the (3-5pm) CW Daytime line-up will be aired at 3am-5am before their Morning News. Also the first two hours of the CW4Kids line up will follow the Central Feed from 5-7am PT. The 7am will have the Saturday Morning News and 9am-12pm will follow the regular CW4Kids lineup. I strongly think it's a good thing on the stations part but does the network execs have anything to say about their lineup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rv65 3 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Just spotted a Chrissy Russo promo on KSWB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rv65 3 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Only 3 more days until the affiliation switch happens. All the promos are in SD since both networks use different HD formats. Now they have changed the promos to Friday. Even Time Warner is putting the info on the website. I seriously think KSWB will retain it's call sign. No real reason to change it to KFSD. Fox 5 has cranked out a few new promos. The intro music for the news broadcast is the Fox O&O music. It looks like Tribune wants to make it more like an O&O affiliate rather than a non O&O.

rv65 3 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 On the XETV set they covered up the Fox 6 news logo. It looks like they are just doing revisions for it. No plans for HD news which might not be for a while. So they are probably refreshing the graphics and other stuff for San Diego 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFTV 484 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 yeah it looks tacky seeing a white light box on the desk. they got rid of the glass fox 6 on the wall weeks ago and at the same time, got new flat screen computer monitors on the side where they do last minute weather touch ups. its just so random and wierd seeing all those tv monitors on the side of the set with a plain blue animated background Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed XETV's GM yesterday and he said that the set will primarily stay the same, with some tweaks in it. Meaning that they will just add the new San Diego 6 logo. They have no other choice but to get a new graphics package. Just check out the indie music pack sampler on Stephen Arnold's website, and towards the end of the video there is a preview of the new San Diego 6 open.

A3N 996 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 XETV will probably be doing their newscasts from the newsroom on Thursday, seeing as they have plenty of work to do on the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A3N 996 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 10NEWS has this new morning promo saying "A smarter way to start your day" coming in August or something.. Are they revamping it? Any word? Well, word around the tvspy watercooler is that KGTV will revamp its morning news. They will have three anchors, Bill Griffith, Evy Ramos and Kerstin Lindquist. James Quiñones will move to the evening and do weather for the 7 and 11pm newscasts. Loren Nancarrow will do weather from 11am-6pm shows. Brooke Landau, the traffic babe will continue to do her duties as usual. I believe that Evy Ramos or Kerstin Lindquist will do weather. Some stupid moves on KGTV's part, but I'm hearing that they are doing this in order to compete with FOX 5. I bet that this format will not last long. This is most likely why the new promos saying "a new way to start your day" are popping up. It all starts Monday August 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
