  1. So, I happened to turn on my Spectrum on my Apple TV, and noticed that Spectrum News (NC-Charlotte) is now Spectrum News 1. Anyone heard anything about this change? Everything else is the same, but after searching the internet, I didn't see anything about it. (I know it isn't earth shattering news, but I am extremely curious why there was a change!)
  2. I never understood this logo. I mean, I like how clean it looks. But, I just absolutely do not understand what the "slash" is for, or represents. I usually don't care about logos, I just think they all, for the most part look the same. But this one just boggles my mind.
  3. Hmm, I thought it was because at one point, 4:00 was called "Focus at 4" or something? If it isn't then, yeah, that is strange lol. I wonder if 4:00 is a different format or something (pre-COVID 19)?
  4. Wow - He has jumped around quite a bit. He was at Spectrum News here in Charlotte for a bit (literally, outside my apartment), after coming from WJZ. Thats a lot of moving around!
  5. WSOC quietly added an hour long 7PM newscast on WAXN, anchored by Damany Lewis and Allison Latos.
  6. Lol they didn't even need that much, because it was Spectrum News on WXLV. WXLV never really had good luck there, you have 3 powerhouses, and the triad just can't support that many news operations.
  7. Finally. They usually had garbage and 12:30 so I am happy they finally fixed it.
  8. I wish this was the WBTV package (with Teal instead of Orange, tbh) This is probably one of the BEST packages I have seen in a while! The other Gray gfx (besides 'OIO) is not as good.
  9. I know I am among the minority, but I love it. I feel like it is TEGNA done correctly. It is clean, slick, and I really like the music. I think with a few tweaks per market for edgier cuts, I think that will make it pop for larger markets. The music actually reminds me of 360 from KLAS.
  10. This is much better than the WBTV open IMO.
  11. Good - Because Ch9 EWN hasn't been the same since she left. (I still watch it over everything else though.)
  12. Yes, I think that is what I mean. It looks unfinished and its awkward animations and pauses. I am wondering if the larger markets are getting a more "pizzazz" package, while smaller markets, something lesser. But, it doesn't surprise me with Gray. I always thought the WRDW graphics were awkward and horrendously bland also.
  13. So, I have been trying to put my finger on it. I love the WOIO graphics, I think they are great. But WMC, KLTV, KTRE gfx, are not as good to me. I feel like the graphics are dull, and don't necessarily entice me to watch the newscasts. I know it sounds really insignificant, or petty. I think I was just expecting so much MORE in these new Gray graphics.
  14. I was thinking the same - I wonder if the WBTV package would be similar to the WOIO package?
  15. I just saw that a few min ago posted on their fb. I actually like it much better than the previous wx graphics.
  16. https://wjla.com/news/nation-world/meteorologist-fired-after-on-air-racial-slur-leads-to-outcry?fbclid=IwAR3brw-Nl7yQOT8gJWZk0rGB7xcZO12IXFugOorXT2XOG3fCPLo6kyQfuoE WHEC Meteorologist let go for using a Racial Slur on air.
  17. Gotta love the play on the call letters. WDBJ and WZBJ. Haha I love it.
  18. Yeah WSOC/WAXN started at the beginning of the year.
  19. Well, I just found out apparently, it was a one-time thing. Or at least that what their Facebook Page says.
  20. Isn't this like the mess their sister station was starting, WTSP?
  21. WTTG did use News Edge for their 6 and 11 newscasts.
  22. I am a DC native too. Andrea Roane has always been a superstar. This pisses me off too.
  23. If anything - - - WSOC would move Phil to 3 when FABlife is cut, and then Have a 4 pm newscast. However, right now, I dont know if they have the staff for that, because they just lost quite a few anchors.
  24. Kind of a Knockoff - But I think it is a pretty nice ...interpretation of the final BELO opens:
  25. Probably 2 anchors at 4, and 2 anchors at 4:30 - I thought Lasalle wasn't going necessarily be an anchor?
