  1. Please make this happen for the former Cordillera stations. Let the WLEX package live in in peace! It didn’t hurt anyone I tell you!

  2. Just to be clear, since I’ve received 3 “dislikes” on my post above, I despise these graphics. I was just pointing out the idiocy of Scripps creating a standardized graphics package and then granting exceptions bc they know how crappy they are.

  3. Maybe Inergy can be kept around some of the stations at the rate...

  4. This new look wouldn't have been a good fit in NYC anyway.

  5. I’m told some of the former Tribune stations will not be getting the new Scripps graphics and music. WPIX, WTKR/WGNT and WTVR have all been approved to keep their current graphics and music packages.

  6. To put it into perspective... its been 7 years since WKBD has aired a newscast, 15 years since WUPA has aired a newscast and yes... 22 years since WTOG has aired a newscast which was their former news department that ended in 1998.

  7. Not surprised WPIX would keep what they're keeping - and it goes to my point earlier that this is a package that's only going to work in smaller, more traditional news markets. Also tells me PIX may not be long under Scripps ownership. Retaining the Trib look in Virginia, though...that I'm a little shocked/skeptical about. WTKR has a little momentum behind it in the ratings but I don't think enough to justify this. Scripps eventually got Move Closer off of WKBW FFS! Makes you wonder how confident corporate is in the new design.

  8. I wonder if the Scripps graphics can get color modifications within the same general framework? I know Gray has red options to their otherwise blue new graphics (several stations have done that). While red is typically for breaking news, it would suit some stations better. I know if Scripps had a station in New Orleans, purple (Mardi Gras color) would look nice on it too, while in Knoxville, orange would be a good fit.. As for WLEX, I think the blue and white fit perfectly for that market. Bluegrass + Wildcats.

  9. I'd say both parties involved in this are being bullies (Tegna for essentially giving the finger to Kim just because of the fact they're afraid that Kim would come into the company and destroy everything Tegna has been doing to their stations in the last few years) You could say Kim was being a bully in his response but Tegna started it here, not Soo Kim.

  10. I probably would've turned off WKYC from all of my news viewing ever since the "3" era started. I would've been fine watching WEWS or WOIO/WUAB over WKYC's garbage. But my heart would be on WJW, 100% of the time. And considering that WJW is on at the same times as WKYC, except 11PM and some weekend hours, I wouldn't miss it too much at all.

  11. Many of these stations are low-powered upstarts built for the sole purpose of bringing affiliations to markets where they previously did not exist. Hopefully bringing some scale to these stations could be a major plus for them to better compete in their markets. What you see is a lot of peeved viewers who lose an adjacent affiliate they've had for years replaced by a local one, that is grossly inferior.

  12. Because what worked so well for noon, has got to work for a 5pm show that's 20 years too late....right?

  13. Bumped this up to share that “3News” is using animated versions of their anchors to promote their new 5pm “newscast.” The madness continues.

  14. Like WABC’s News York microtext.

  15. Good that both New York's Very Own and Impact aren't going anywhere on WPIX and WTKR/WGNT. Can't picture the new Scripps graphics on those stations, including WTVR here in Richmond (but I can picture a news open for WTVR, though). Speaking of WTVR: Really? I love y'all, but you're still keeping Moving Forward, a package you and now-former sister station WTTV brought back from the dead in 2015? Nothing against Moving Forward (it's a good package, though), but it's 12 years old and it's time for an update.

  16. What’s the point of having standardized graphics if you’re not going to require each and every station to use them? Scripps is a complete dumpster fire.
