A3N 996 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 WMAQ has a sneak peek at the new websites that the NBC O&O's will eventually use. From the picture, the website looks a lot cleaner than the IB System sites. Oh and it looks like the website will be branded as NBC city name. i.e. NBC Chicago Slideshow... http://www.nbc5.com/slideshow/news/17567505/detail.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caliwxdude 252 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Makes sense... I have thought it's extremely odd that KNTV still directs people to "NBC11.com" even though the station has been known as NBC Bay Area for almost three months now. Any departure from an IBS site is a welcome change, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBC 5 Chicago 165 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 WOW i didnt see this when i posted mine in the Chicago board. O welll.. It will be intersting to see how many of the stations roll out the new designs. If it will be faster than the new O&O graphics look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SterlingNorth 33 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Interesting that NBC already purchased NBCMiami.com even though they sold the station to Post-Newsweek. I'd prefer that over the "Local 6" they probably would use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that nbcla.com works too. Over the years the website has gone from nbc4la.com, nbc4.tv, to knbc.com. Hope nbcla or nbclosangeles is the last change for awhile.

SterlingNorth 33 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Broadcast and Cable has more information on the sites, including the launch dates for each. http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA6604891.html After today’s Chicago launch, new sites go live in Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco on October 16; in Dallas, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. on October 20; and in New York and Hartford on October 27. Oh yeah -- NBCChicago was launched today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Que 73 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I don't think nbcdallas.com is a good branding for the whole DFW area. KXAS isn't even in Dallas, they are in Fort Worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting because a TVNewsday article says that the new KXAS site will be nbcdfw.com but when I typed it in, nothing came up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess 1110 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 The new site is... interesting. There's a lot of content on it, but it still seems quite hard to find things. I like the idea that it's more of a news aggregation thing as stuff points to the Sun-Times and national papers as well as the site. I also find it odd that they're moving in the opposite direction as far as video goes. So far, I can't find any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link 3 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I can see updating the websites but not changing the domain names...NBC 5 in Chicago has been nbc5.com for as long as I can remember and I'm not about to type in nbcchicago.com--too long. Luckily nbc5.com still works too. Just like I'm sure viewers in Washington DC know WRC as nbc4.com and it's much simpler than nbcwashington.com.

SterlingNorth 33 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Looks like they're slowing down the rollout. October 21s and no new "NBC Washington" or "NBC Philadelphia" websites yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Horn 78 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 All of them are up except WNBC's And WVIT's nbcconnecticut.com. I'm imagining nbcmiami.com is on indefinite hold. For fun, wonder how long this has been in the works as you visit nbcprovidence.com, nbccolumbus.com, and nbcraleigh.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
