SFTV

It’s not a Tegna set in a box!

I knew it would be taped!! Darren’s weather hit did show some poor quality when they ran the tape on its KBCW show. so how would this work if it’s breaking news?

This is the same as KBCW! Looks like it’s produced by KTXA. Local cut in with the first 2 top stories, a weather hit then back to Dallas. 10:30 local cut in and weather hit and back to Dallas.

NEXT should’ve been an alternate branding with markets that use “First Alert” in other competing stations like WTVJ and KNBC.

I wonder how KSTW in Seattle will be running it’s operation, their Master Control is at KPIX. Will it be in house or will they rely on KPIX to produce its newscast since they already produce weather forecasts on its CW11 website with the old 2010 O&O Glossy Eye graphics package and “Inside Sports.” with KBCW’s Nightbeat graphics package

THIS!! KPIX needs to hire more staff and ramp up KBCW again. Why don’t you just cut the KPIX 5 News 6am simulcast off in place of gospel programming that currently airs at 7am. Then this is when you take advantage and air CBS BAY AREA NEWS at 7am that you just launched yesterday that’s only available online and on PlutoTV in that 7am time slot. 10pm is when you bring back an evening newscast since you cancelled Bay Area Nightbeat. However KRON and KTVU have been dominating Mornings and the 10pm slot. It would be hard to try and enter the competition race.

My bad didn’t know KTLA had a full hour at 3pm I thought it was online streaming and I thought KDOC was a full hour per it’s tv listings on its site.

So much News on every channel in LA except from 2-3pm, 3:30-4pm, and 11:35pm - 4am More car chases to come…. 4am - 2pm News Hour Break from 2 - 3pm 3 - 3:30pm News (:30 min break) 4 - 11:35pm News

Next. It’s a no for me. It’s as bad as when KTLA used “MetroVision Weather” back in 2006

Spoke too soon Starting this Monday. KPIX will be launching an hour long 7am online newscast on CBS NEWS BAY AREA. one of the anchors IG story mentions that there will be more fun…we’ll see if they loosen up their sleeves like KGO does because ABC7 @ 7 literally screams KTLA. Especially with the lower thirds when they go to break. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2022/7/6/someone-is-cranky

Interesting move. Makes me wonder if KBCW will ramp up a 10 pm newscast again or heck even a morning show *shrug*

Also missing a Weather Center.

Looks more cleaner. I don’t recall the studio being that huge! The best part is the monitors on the floor. It’s similar to what NBC Sports Bay Area uses on its post game shows. I’m feeling this will be used for elections especially. Raj does a tour at the last 2 minutes of his video. https://www.instagram.com/tv/Cfavr_5tdLa/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= a better version of a 360 loop on its studio bump before the break. https://www.instagram.com/p/CfalHber5m3/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

That’s going to be an interesting move… KGO was first to start a half hour 3 pm show called “Getting Answers.” However instead of a traditional newscast, they ask experts questions the viewers want to know in real-time on todays current topics. During commercial breaks the news continues with post interviews and open to more questions on Facebook live that will be answered on air. KRON airs a full hour of news at 3pm KPIX just joined the 3pm race as well but only a half hour. when 3:30 hits KGO and KPIX go live for the Network Evening shows. KGO continues at 4pm with news while KPIX goes a full hour of Judge Judy until the news at 5 begins.

interesting how the article says KRON not KNTV

Short staffed or Covid at Eyewitness News? It looks like they had to use help the past 2 mornings from KGO with Mike Nicco on the roof for his weather hits since it clashes with ABC7 Mornings and he can’t be in studio for a green screen.

Why does their background backdrops look like they have been in the sun looking all faded like a hole in the restaurant light box menu. Somewhat similar to instagram filters

KTVU had a Ukraine Donation Ad in place of the News Ad but it’s been gone for a few weeks now. Yay for being Ad free.

Hothaus designed that package. This was when KGTV was at its best and very competitive with KFMB during its “Local 8 News” era.

Wow that extended forecast WLS is using brings back late 90’s vibes. KGTV used something similar before. also KGO and KABC still haven’t updated its abc on-air bug on its newscasts. However regular programming and promos have the updated version.

Allen Martin retires from KPIX. You’ll see some former co-anchors from the past at KPIX, KSBW and KFOR in this package. https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/kpix-5-anchor-and-reporter-allen-martin-set-to-retire/?fbclid=IwAR2gAMagVRxtftnq2y4tPkIqTdsgO6SVHkhXG7qs3V5BLP9hohifC0LI7xo#l44mfr3flnvzpl79798 also KGO did a farewell this morning to General Assignment Reporter Amy Hollyfield who is leaving after 21 years. She started off as a writer then becoming an on air GSA Reporter for ABC7 Mornings.

All that hype for nothing and the old set still remains

It will debut in May for May Sweeps

Warranty already kicking in?

KPIX only uses the Red Version of First Alert when there’s a storm or heat wave hitting the area. “First Alert Weather Day.” is KCBS only left in the station group not adopting the branding since KNBC uses it? The only time I’ve seen an overlap branding was when KTVU during its Cox Days would use StormTracker 2 and KRON (still to this day) uses StormTracker 4 on its radar.
