    image.thumb.jpeg.2b76e9c2155005bb9d1d93e81c301cfe.jpegLooks like WAVE is next on the list!

     

    WAVE is launching GrayONE an hour from now at 11/10c. They've been running promos teasing of it over the last week(s).

     

    As an aside, can we change the name of this thread to "The GrayONE-ification Thread" or something similar?

    Okay this is a freaking cool set for Sinclair

     

    They've been stepping up lately as far as their in-house builds go. Not just at WJLA, but at other stations as well.

    WVUE in New Orleans is moving to a new building, which formerly housed WLAE and a housing authority.

     

    https://www.fox8live.com/2023/12/21/wvue-fox-8-is-moving-new-building/

     

    Back during Katrina, WVUE's existing building was flooded, requiring it to be fully renovated and the station had to be operated out of Mobile at sister station WALA (when both were owned by Emmis) for a time.

     

    The current facility is surrounded by Xavier University, and Xavier will be acquiring it once WVUE vacates.

     

    The good thing about the new digs is it's still fairly new (only 9 years old, having been constructed in late 2014/early 2015). While I doubt WVUE will be able to fully utilize the entire space, I would suspect Gray would seek to consolidate and/or grow some of their operations there, especially with their InvestigateTV unit being based in New Orleans and all.

    I wonder if they are going to invest more in their augmented reality sets/improve on them with these renovations to the main studio. Speaking of which, are any parts of their AR sets physically real?

     

    Half of The Weather Channel's main studio is hard set while the rest is a massive chroma key area for their Immersive Mixed Reality (IMR) segments. There are no physical elements over in the chroma area as everything on screen is computer-generated.

    Is this a trend with GRAY NBC affiliates? WMC Action News 5 removed the NBC Peacock from their onscreen bug all of a sudden.

    WSMV did the same thing a couple of weeks ago, and most recently changed their weather logo as well - removing the NBC peacock from their branding.

    And before anyone asks, NBC does not have a mandate for its affiliated stations to have the peacock in its branding.

  6. No, Enforcer is not being retired.

     

    The decision by many stations to go with Stephen Arnold's CBS Local has more to do with the larger station groups (i.e., Gray, Nexstar, Scripps, etc.) choosing to go with SAM tracks as opposed to anything under the Warner-Chappell umbrella (Gari, 615 Music, Newsmusic Central) over the last few years.

    Meanwhile, WVUE went with the WSFA look while WALA went GrayOne recently.

     

    You call it the WSFA look when it was WMC-TV that launched it first.

     

    I'm surprised WWSB's current look was utilized by the likes of WAFF and WDAM. I don't hate it, but there are certain elements of that package that just look dated.

    From what I have heard, the new KMOV studio opens next week for use. I am going to guess that GrayOne will accompany KMOV at the new studios.

     

    If it's open for use, that doesn't necessarily mean broadcasts will start originating from there right away. Until an official date is announced by KMOV, take everything with a grain of salt.

  9. Former WMC-TV anchor & reporter Kontji Anthony is returning to television. 

     

     

    Anthony will officially take over as the host of WREG's Live at 9, which is getting reformatted as a lifestyle show, beginning November 13th. Promos have started airing as of today.
