Why do I have a sudden urge to watch Supermarket Sweep?

It's one thing to blow up the last place station that no one watches anyway. That way News With A Twist can exist peacefully amongst good and semi-decent products. In Tegna's case, they've taken successful stations (and a cellar dweller or two) and driven them into the ground (further) with their "forward thinking" WKYC and WWL were once decent stations (WKYC was finally clicking after DECADES of failure) to have been fixed to death by Tegna....

I tend to agree with this. Everybody has the four anchors with no personality, they all sit behind a desk in a studio that looks like the bridge of the USS Enterprise. Something different is long overdue.

There's more... (Cross-posted from the TEGNA thread) According to Zap2It, the 7pm and 11pm newscasts are also getting new titles. Here is the full lineup: 4-7am Go! 12-12:30pm Lunch Break with Jay Crawford 6-6:30pm What Matters Most 7-7:30pm Front Row 11-11:30pm What's Next "Live on Lakeside" will shorten to an hour, and it looks like "Donovan Live" is history. I don't know if they will implement "3 News" in front of the titles on-air, but we shall see. People will like them, people won't. We shall see.

This is really interesting. I don't mind the name changes (I like "Go!" a lot.) It'll be neat to see how the relaunch goes. They are trying something SO radically different. And I give them props for having the balls to do it. Studies show younger audiences think local news is formulaic and boring. So this, in my opinion, is a good way to shake it up. I hope the newscasts are interesting to watch and they have good content. I'm hoping (and I won't be surprised) if they start doing stories in the style of Vice News and KXTV. I think viewers would like that.

Those names are so bad, I couldn't express my thoughts in words, so I give you this....

It's gotten so bad that DirecTV is now censoring the Bottomline on their feed.

Some of you are haters. I don't think "Go" is such a bad name as it is being used alongside "3 News." It's different and it doesn't sound dated like calling it Eyewitness Action News or something like that. The way you guys were talking, I thought they were going to call it simply "Go," which is a little more awkward. I don't mind the name Go, but I don't think it conveys that it is a newscast. (It sounds like another "Extra" wannabe.) But "3 News: Go" is just fine depending on how they use it during the program.

There is a special "Celebrating Diana" at 5 pm on Thursday (9/12), the last of her time. They also posted her first report on Twitter, back when she was reporting and anchoring weekends. https://abc7ny.com/society/diana-williams-first-wabc-report-on-1991-at-t-phone-fiasco/5525995/

Where's is this new logo? Let me see it..

Amen to that. I'm glad you're all for younger hipper and experimental newscasts like me. But the majority of this forum (along with longtime station viewers) will probably hate it from day one, cause they all think local newscasts are like the formula for Coca-Cola, in that changing it would be sacriligous and lead to tons of hatetred.

So is WKYC getting a circle 3 logo or is this sarcasm? Dead serious here. I don't know what to think anymore from whatever comes out from Tegna these days....

Personally, "Go on 3" would be a better name for that because it's a known term.

WBNS coverage from 9/11 — anchors: Andrea Cambern, Angela Pace and Helen Neill.

Well, that didn't take long to find a new anchor. https://www.cbs46.com/news/cbs-names-rick-folbaum-new-anchor/article_ef9fc2ca-d40a-11e9-8c42-93821de148cf.html

Here is a snapshot of the breaks during when watching live on the internet. The rainbow circles animate.

The walls of the interview area got a remodel.
