  1. KMID ditched their building for KPEJ's. Would be interesting to know who owns KPEJ's building.
  2. Fun Fact: Hot Haus' Matt Quinn is based in Cleveland and has done a lot of work with both WOIO and WKYC. Quinn was behind OIO's famous graphical looks through most of the 2000's. Not a stretch to think they went local again with a familiar face. Much like the Nashville stations do with 615 (WCPM)
  3. NewsNet also now has a wikipedia page about it with a lot of information. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NewsNet
  4. NewsNet just picked up two major-market affiliates. One in Chicago, the other in San Francisco.
  5. <div class="scripps_iframe_embed" style="position:relative;"><div style="display:block;width:100%;height:auto;padding-bottom:56.25%;"></div><iframe style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%; height:100%;" border="0" height="100%" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen="" allowfullscreen="" mozallowfullscreen="" scrolling="no" scrolling="no" src="https://assets.scrippsdigital.com/cms/videoIframe.html?&host=www.kgun9.com&title=Embeded%20Video&m3u8=https://content.uplynk.com/a9c3a102543e430a8b662a20aacdc681.m3u8&purl=/weather&story=0&ex=1&s=kgun"></iframe></div> That may soon change. KGUN's weather has the Scripps package.
  6. An Update: NewsNet confirms new year launch date, announces first affiliates. http://yournewsnet.com/where-to-see-newsnet/
  7. I mean, their corporate partner to the north *is* KRQE. That logo fits.
  8. Word is that the crowdfunding angle was ditched and investors signed on, so that's how it is able to launch.
  9. Bit of an Update: The kickstarter didn't go as hoped, and the project was rebranded. http://yournewsnet.com/introducing-newsnet/ News Net is set to launch in January. One of the big items dropped: local/regional programming other than inserted ads at the station level.
  10. https://www.bigcountryhomepage.com/news/main-news/randy-turner-to-depart-krbc-news/1405146598 Longtime KRBC Anchor/Chief Meteorologist (and former KTAB Met) is leaving the station.
  11. How does one go from filling in on a flagship network news program to the lowest rated revolving door in DMA 10?
  12. I actually like the "eyeopener" style. Would be better if they dropped the traditional tease all together.
  13. WWTV/WWUP Reporter Megan Viecelli has been arrested, and is now out on bond. Police say she was driving drunk and resisted, assaulted, or obstructed officers. http://www.cadillacnews.com/news/cadillac-woman-facing-police-aro-owi/article_6730e960-aa56-567a-bf44-5f1061e8c2db.html
  14. KOB updated their look and picked up.. This is the place... http://www.kob.com/live/ It is horrendous.
  15. Former KVIA and KTAB meteorologist-turned “gogo dancer” Stephen Decatur calls out GM and anchors at KVIA. http://elpaso411.com/2018/02/former-kvia-meteorologist-explains-fallout-calls-out-news-team/
  16. Holy hell. It's worse than I thought. Such a hodgepodge.
  17. And they're not using it well. They've also butchered their graphics. Sad.
  18. WLLZ is also Channel 12 (XII is the roman numeral for 12)
  19. Freelancer Television Broadcasting, Inc. has finished its purchase of WLLZ-LP Cedar, MI. It was announced today that FTB would be changing WLLZ's call sign to... WXII-LP Todo, I don't think we're in Greensboro, High Point, or Winston-Salem anymore.
  20. The Nexstar website names will always live on stations with consolidated news departments. BigCountryHomepage.com for KTAB and KRBC. There's no way they could be separated.
  21. WLLZ has a local news product now, however small. A 90 second update airs during the first ad break of each hour every weekday from 6PM - 10PM. The update is produced by recent sister station WMNN, with mostly different graphics and a different music package. Stephen Arnold's Elevation has been resurrected.
  22. Okay? We were talking about Cox stations.
  23. It's likely that package was designed by Renderon, the same company that did the Scripps package. It fits their style.
  24. That's actually production music from audiojungle.
