No surprise there! All those markets are traditionally basement-dweller markets for CBS.
-
It might've been due to WATL being owned by Fox at the time. It wouldn't make sense for Fox to run a Fox-turned-CBS affiliate, especially if WATL needed to start up a news department. Luckily, WGNX (WGCL) had a news department, and DID reconsider joining CBS, otherwise we would've had another WWJ on our hands. Speaking of the 1994 affiliatiion switches, was WAKC EVER in the running to become a marketwide ABC or CBS affiliate for Cleveland? I'm talking about an alternate timeline where WOIO and WUAB both said NO to CBS.

Believe it or not, WBRE/WYOU is the only legacy Nexstar news operation takes the simulcast approach. And before you say KSNT/KTKA, that was done in the New Vision days and carried over into LIN, Media General, and now Nexstar. Most news ops like WKBN/WYTV, KODE/KSNF, KRBC/KTAB, etc actually air two SEPERATE newscasts but use the same reporters. Therefore, KWGN and KDVR could maintain seperate branding for a long, long time.
-
Well it wasn't so much that Tribune wanted the swap, it was CBS that wanted the swap. LIN was simply unwilling to pony up what CBS wanted WISH to pay, but Tribune was for WTTV, plain and simple. That's why MG made a deal so swap out NBC for CBS on WNCN, because Capitol balked at paying what CBS wanted for its programming on WRAL. As far as news on WTTV? It helped that sister station WXIN has a news department, so Tribune can put newscasts for CBS4 together in a broom closet without spending boatloads of money.
-
And guess who's leading the massacre at WXIN/WTTV? DOMINIC MANCUSO! The same GM that brought the beauty that was "Cleveland 19" to WOIO. All I have to say is: Good luck!
-
I'm not the biggest fan of these graphics by any means. However, I do think that Scripps has a shot in Miami if they play all their cards right and position WSFL as the anti-WSVN. At the very least, it'll give Scripps a chance to experiment with giving viewers an alternative to the gaudiness that's 7 News.

It's actually more of a compliment than a compliant. WFTS' music choices do help mask how deliberate the graphics are, so kudos for that.
-
Now that we've seen it on a bigger-market station (WFTS), I can safely say it's still meh. The ideas are there and I do like the still designs. However, the animations are STILL pretty lame, especially for the market size.

The only reason that "3News" is doing well at 11pm is because of NBC's primetime lead-ins. "Lunch Break" makes sense because WKYC hasn't had a noon newscast in that slot in a while so it'll take time to establish. Mornings? Yeah I was expecting that since WJW is the 800-lb gorilla and WOIO is just there. 6pm? That's shocking, especially considering Ellen is a lead-in. The question is what happens when the 5pm newscast comes online come January and the February books start. -
I've seen what the graphics weasels can do at WEWS. I'm not holding my breath they can make the wholesale changes needed.
-
So WATL is keeping the 7pm newscast and running news from 8-11pm as well?!? I'm just wondering how this is going to work, even for a top-10 market like Atlanta.
-
Doubt it! As long as GMA (and Today) can keep being profitable, then expect them maintain status quo or possibly double down.
-
Only reason GMA is doing so well is because Today and CBS This Morning had epic shakeups. Otherwise, GMA is a hot mess. The main question being: WHY THE EFF DO THEY HAVE MICHAEL STRAHAN CONDUCT SERIOUS INTERVIEWS?!?
-
I agree! other than the WOIO Hothaus look, these are the best graphics on a Gray station. This IMO, is a perfect evolution of the Limerick look.
-
WAVE is next on the "Gray-vy" train.
-
To be fair, has Scripps really replaced any of WTXL's equipment from when they were a Calkins station? Granted, they did have that short stint as a Raycom station, but I doubt Raycom replaced any of 27's graphics engines. Hence, why the animations are slow as molasses.
-
I agree...it doesn't work for Tallahassee. I cringe because it's coming for markets like Cleveland, Detroit, and even NYC possibly. And that's assuming that the individual stations can't (or won't) fix the animation issues.
-
We don't EVER talk about that travesty.
-
I'll have to see these these in person when these debut on WEWS, but from what I can gather, it looks like a mock that I did, no more, no less.
-
If this is coming to WEWS, they're going to easily have THE WORST graphics package in Cleveland. This is just serviceable, at best. I mean the CNN ripoff package has aged horribly but DAMN!!!!!
-
My only gripe is the "ABC 27 News" textbox. Why is it in the shape of a cell phone text box? Was that really necessary?
-
It kinda looks like a gen 2 of the Limerick graphics if Raycom didn’t get bought out.
