  1. There's some confusion on this, but the borderless peacock logo is for solid white backgrounds only. There is also a black/white version purely for just white backgrounds as well. All other uses will retain the border. The only thing visually changing is the peacock's beak.
  2. This might be why Allen is no longer pursuing TEGNA.
  3. It's no surprise that since Sinclair has taken over WOAI, that it has gotten preferential treatment over KABB. When the graphics do launch, you'll notice that the standard package would have indeed looked better on KABB given that the FOX 29 logo already fits the color scheme. Want to guess the color scheme for the hybrid package? Look no further than the color scheme on WOAI's logo.
  4. KABB is getting a hybrid package, and it's taking longer to iron out the bugs since they're the only station that is going to have it in the group. I suspect y'all will probably hate it, but stay tuned.
  5. Shareholders have re-elected all 12 TEGNA directors. https://tvnewscheck.com/article/top-news/248363/shareholders-re-elect-all-12-tegna-directors/ This campaign lead by Kim was ill-timed and honestly, comes off as desperate. I'm glad the shareholders saw that. I'd go a step further and say that Kim is responsible for the furloughs due to the cost TEGNA had to endure to hire advisory firms, etc, but this is out of my area of expertise so I'll leave it at that.
  6. The scolding continues from another advisory firm: https://tvnewscheck.com/article/top-news/248085/egan-jones-recommends-tegna-director-nominees/
  7. The current TEGNA board appears to be receiving a lot of support: https://tvnewscheck.com/article/top-news/248020/advisory-firm-recommends-tegnas-nominees/ https://www.reuters.com/article/us-tegna-standardgeneral/proxy-adviser-iss-backs-standard-general-nominee-brown-at-tegna-idUSKBN21Z2BJ?il=0 https://www.reuters.com/article/us-tegna-standardgeneral/ariel-investments-says-backs-tegna-in-fight-with-standard-general-idUSKCN21V2BK The vote takes place next Thursday.
  8. Spoiler alert: there isn't a single bank that is going to back/finance a transaction as big as what TEGNA is worth because of the current pandemic that has essentially caused our economy to collapse. Which is why Gray and Apollo dropped their bids. Nobody had to jump through hoops for anything. And yes, it was COVID-19 that ended those talks.
  9. I can't wait for all this to blow up in Soo Kim's face.
  10. I'm not entirely sure. Air Comfort Solutions, the company, is a big spender in advertising. It could be that there was another suitor willing to pay more, so a name change may be on the horizon again. For now, it's just Chopper 4 again. I'm no longer there, so I can't say for certain. As a side note, Air Comfort Solutions Chooper 4 was a mouthful and I was never a fan of that brand.
  11. I think the biggest takeaway from this article is that Apollo does not intend to keep the CMG properties. That said, these Hedge fund companies can stick it where the sun don't shine.
  12. Spoiler alert: If their IFB isn't working it's probably because they're late to the studio and that's on them. When a reporter does this, it's because they aren't mix-minused properly, so they hear feedback (themselves on a delay) which isn't delightful. Usually a result of an audio operator forgetting to do so.
  13. Can confirm. The axe is swinging at KFOR, so far an anchor position has been eliminated along with various administrative positions. You truly hate to see it.
  14. I'm still wondering why KTVT got a pass here. They dropped the ball just as badly as KXAS, in my opinion.

    The "3" Thread

    Y'all want to know why the TV industry is in the shape it's in look no further than this. I can't explain how many people are in positions that they shouldn't be in and I've worked in 4 newsrooms in the span of 6 years. Sorry, didn't mean to go off topic here. To contribute: my thoughts on this logo is that it is indeed terrible.
