  1. I'm told KSHB will debut weather and traffic starting Thursday. News will follow several weeks later.
  2. "I noticed you changed the color from purple to blue, so I'm hoping it's going to stay blue for every newscast." Oh that poor man. I can only imagine his horror when he woke up in the morning and when he saw that TalkBack using blue, purple and orange. Joking aside, I wonder what kind of changes Tegna might have made if they had this type of feed back in 2017/18. It makes one think if this is WNEP's sly knock at Tegna.
  3. I'm curious if Scripps will even bother repairing it. Also, I would think most stations would keep their chopper at an airport. Most TV stations are not favorable locations for a helipad.
  4. I did some asking...sounds like the contract is up in April and they're shedding it. It'll leave KMBC as the only station in the market with a chopper.
  5. KCTV must have ended their sharing agreement. The other side of that chopper will have KSHB's logo, and there's footage from their chopper from within the last week. What's most frustrating is how painfully SD the camera is.
  6. Your list mentions KCTV discontinued their chopper in January 2020. They shared it with KSHB (it's really their chopper). Did that agreement end?
  7. 2-3 years? Scripps has decided to only stick with this look for that long? Could also just be generic speak; current look lasted 7 nearly 8 years for some.
  8. WNT just needs to move to 16x9 graphics. It's the only ABC News program (as far as I'm aware) that's designed 4x3 safe. It's very odd.
  9. Logo is still atrocious but it's certainly nice studio space.
  10. Nice! The previous look was getting quite dated. Only thing I'd change about this one is lessening the cut out between the orb and '9'.
  11. I like it fine and don't think it's as awful as many are saying, but then again, this site tends to hate anything new nowadays. My biggest gripe are the player stat line in the score bug is too small and transparent. They need to lower the opacity at least. The second gripe is the down and distance indicator on the field is very hard to see. If their goal was to make it appear as if it's painted on the field, they succeeded in making it look like it hadn't been repainted all season.
  12. I'm curious to know how KSHB's big complicated logo will look with these lower thirds, or if they'll use the generic 41 with a peacock that's been springing up on their platforms lately.
  13. I'd only support a 5th hour if it was hard storytelling. Aka, the first half hour of the Today show.
  14. Tegna is actually beginning to roll out a slightly updated version of the 2018 look. Stations have been getting a style-guide on how to use the update. Just a few different elements here and there.
  15. The music seriously lacks bass. That's half the problem. As for KMGH, it looks good on them because it's Colorado. We all associate Colorado with kind of laid back and cold. That's what this look is. Laid back and cold. KMGH doesn't seem high energy either.
  16. Seems kind of messed up that Scripps has to pay for Cordillera's failings, but I guess they assume Scripps surely would have been aware of the state of the towers of the stations they were buying? And that two towers were bought without the FCC ever knowing? That or since there isn't a Cordillera to fine anymore...
  17. I can see the headlines now..."Fox News TRAITOR Shepard Smith joins LIBERAL MSNBC in effort to take down President Trump!" Or "Not-So-Secret Fox News Democrat Shep Smith is Welcomed at MSNBC with Open Arms"
  18. Tegna appears to be working on a new website design. WVEC is one of the test stations. https://www.13newsnow.com https://www.13newsnow.com/article/about-us/13newsnow-new-website-design/291-012a334f-0db6-4721-9511-7b8952192584 Though the URLs could certainly still use work.
  19. Did they rebrand to ABC 15 Arizona at some point?
  20. Hold up. The Now is still a thing? I thought it was killed.
  21. June Bacon-Bercey, the first female TV meteorologist (and of color) in the U.S. died. It seems she died in July last year, but the news was only just now made public. She was 90. https://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/june-bacon-bercey-americas-1st-female-tv-meteorologist-dies-at-90/655500
  22. Time to oil up the Speculatron!
  23. Ah, I see it's KAKE's turn to take care of KSAS. Seems like those Wichita stations rotate responsibility every what, five years?
