  1. New graphics now being used in all portions of the newscast. Nothing to write home about.
  2. Skyline issue for WLBT was quickly corrected by 4pm.
  3. Nothing confirmed for WLBT, but I find it interesting that there’s a revised logo (call letters) on this promo for their new lifestyle show that debuts today at 3pm Central. Is that a sign of what’s in store? Hmmm. https://fb.watch/n0oZbT_kgr/?mibextid=v7YzmG
  4. FMBC is moving WINK-TV/FM and its other broadcast properties to a new location in Fort Myers. https://winknews.com/2023/08/03/wink-tv-buys-new-headquarters-for-18-5-million-in-gateway/?fbclid=IwAR3Yyw6O2ZTVoHxkWrLeA89O1SMpK5Be8Ej_NekLrvaQg5PNhTHpSJndUFI_aem_AaMEvmtuQXLZePPjjqtvctHajRDZI7uLCJtrqfGxDuaq1AlZXiLX22uIxa63Kek3tRk&mibextid=Zxz2cZ
  5. Set has debuted and for the space and market that it’s in, it’s a beauty. No new graphics — only some changes to the cuts of their existing music package and updated opens/re-opens.
  6. WTOK’s new set debuts during the evening newscasts today (01/18), as announced during their Midday newscast.
  7. New set debuts at 4pm on January 9th.
  8. This screenshot of an on-air legal ID teases the new set under construction at channel 7. Their studio is an awkward rectangle and if this image confirms anything, they’re finally utilizing that space to its full capacity.
  9. Progress photos as seen in Facebook:
  10. Progress photos as seen on Facebook:
  11. Gray is on a tour of Mississippi it seems… WDAM in Hattiesburg, MS has moved newscasts to a temporary set in their newsroom area. The set they’re replacing dates back to their HD debut in 2012.
  12. Gray’s WLOX on the Mississippi Gulf Coast is utilizing a temporary set for newscasts while a new set is installed in their studio. The current set has been in use since the station went HD in 2011. The debut of their new set will be in December 2022. Source: Brad Kessie
  13. Gray’s WTOK in Meridian, MS is utilizing their newsroom for newscasts while a new set is installed in their studio. The set has been in use for 20-years. The debut of their new set will be in early 2023.
  14. WINK has taken on water in the studio and in the newsroom.
  15. KATC in Lafayette, LA is on a temporary set as of this week while their studio is renovated for a new set! About time! Picture is courtesy of KATC’s Facebook page
  16. This set from WLBT was an interesting design. The set was designed by various teams in Jackson and was installed in 1995. A lot of the features with the images were removed from the set not long after the set debuted. The was a lot of emphasis on the locally-designed part of it, but it was a look that didn’t age well. Wednesday, June 28, 1995, The Clarion-Ledger, newspapers.com 1995 (original set as debuted) ~1996/1997 when the set was updated 1998-2002
  17. For Meridian, it looks pretty good. I’m not a fan of this package or the music, but it fits them and the community well.
  18. WTOK is using new the weather graphics of a new package; however, the old graphics are still being used everywhere else in the newscast.
  19. I’ve noticed this logo on the newsroom wall in a picture found on Facebook. I don’t recall this ever being a logo used before, so maybe there’s a lot more to come for Meridian?
  20. Looks like WTOK may be switching to this package based on the top banner update on their website and the talent backgrounds on their staff page.
  21. WAAY 31 recently debuted their own personal radar network consisting of three radar sites within their DMA. https://www.waaytv.com/content/radar-content/Dual-Polarity-Radar-Features-Allows-for-Enhanced-Forecasting-571139471.html?fbclid=IwAR2c3_y30TcK8xzWCTJHNBZLy30usksooK5CQkwvAuGC_mFGrfXRxJaYvWo
  22. More sets are to be replaced in 2020. WAPT is scheduled for “studio upgrades” in June 2020. This will complete their station remodel project.
  23. Tomorrow (Wednesday) at Noon (fingers crossed) is when new graphics should debut on KFSM.
  24. As I heard it described, Tribune used “duct tape and chicken wire” and TEGNA uses “broadcast equipment” to work with. There have been a a couple of newscasts this week that have not gone on-air due to the master control upgrades.
