    This is absolutely awful. First, the fact that they are using red tends to indicate Breaking News, which is exactly what Alert insinuates. This is why First Alert Weather has always struck me as bad branding for weather too. You're going to burn out your audience if all news product is branded as "First Alert" instead prioritizing the content. Ultimately, having clear brand and design language is really needed to inform viewers and boost ratings... This won't do it.

    First of all, being a politician should bar you from owning any journalism entity. Journalists investigate public officials and hold them to account of the public interest. Republican or Democrat, politicians shouldn't invest in those that hold them accountable. It's a conflict of interest. However, not all politician is the same. Don't paint with a broad brush. Those who follow the letter of law have no issue being held to account. It is those that are vehemently opposed to accountability that are the ones that are abusing our institutions and laws that are here to protect us. If organizations like Sinclair Broadcast Group and Bill Fielder (a party politician directly), are openly interested in curtailing the accountability that journalism is intended to enforce, then you can easily tell who is on the right and wrong side of the people and easily tell for which political parties they support. Period.

    One of the individuals labeled as a "Senior Reporter" has an anchor title.

    If they're going to standardize, might it be the music too, except for the open?

    You want to have a main Voice actor that you can use across opens, topicals, POPs, and various campaigns. You don't use your main voice for just one thing, like opens.

    Steve is such a flat VO. Can't emote at all.

    Just want to point out that they are using the NBC Nightly News font that they get access to as an affiliate.

    KCNC uses just one cut.
  9. ABC 7 Denver
    About time. That last thing was clunky.

    And even their previous set was only about 6 years old. They keep replacing sets like that is going to improve ratings. Honestly, Byron Grandy needs to be fired. He and Joan Barrett haven't a clue what they are doing.

    This is what you would expect for a market of this size. This isn't what you'd expect for Denver... Yet that is exactly what we got and it looks like crap.

    This is TEGNA, now. We do things as cheaply as possible.
  13. ABC 7 Denver
    New floors. lol
  14. ABC 7 Denver
    Wow! They chose the package that won't go away. 13 years Aerial has been used.

    Like most affiliates, creative services are no longer a priority. You have one underpaid artist doing all the work for Sinclair San Antonio. You're not going to get great work.

    Sh*t about to hit the fan and he doesn't want his name on it.
  17. ABC 7 Denver
    No no. That's great! He'll tank it.

    RE the Altitude/Rockies deal, the Montforts would be signing their own death warrants. The Rockies have chronically sucked because they refuse to invest in the team, although they'll spend so much money on the Coors Field. If they sign their rights with the Altitude (Kroenke Sports and Entertainment) the Waltons (of which the Kroenke family are members) will put pressure on the MLB to acquire the team. At that point, all Denver teams will be control by the Waltons. Also, please keep in mind that the Waltons will be posturing soon too move Empower Field out to Aurora Colorado. Denver won't pay for a new one and the Waltons will want one.

    This tickles me a little bit. - Is it Nexstar? Is it McKinnon!?
  20. ABC 7 Denver
    I mean my CBS O&O does the neighborhood news format too.
  21. ABC 7 Denver
    Fox doesn't have a catalogue anymore. Their indie stations need something to air.
  22. ABC 7 Denver
    1. They will merge KSWB and KUSI newsrooms and buildings. Be prepared for layoffs. 2. They'll probably use the Nexstar ABC package. 3. This is the end of The One and Only. The second to last station to use it and they'll switch to SAM.
  23. ABC 7 Denver
    Sale to Scripps, you mean.
  24. ABC 7 Denver
    Given NewsNation, even as lackluster as it is, there will be NN local programing on CW, guaranteed.

    Some news station workers, especially news production staff, are part of SAG-AFTRA and will be walking out. Voice Actors are striking too. I have family striking as both members of WGA and SAG-AFTRA. Most game shows are union as well. I think things like Survivor and unscripted reality programming are the only shows that really aren't, but it depends on the production houses.
