I’ve been watching WBAL today (I don’t have any reason otherwise to watch Baltimore news). WBAL is a really good news operation. Polished reporters and some veterans who I can tell still know the art.

Regarding WBOC being dropped: Breezeline says it’s about not wanting to pay two affiliates. https://policyband.com/blog/spokesman--breezeline-dropped-cbs-affiliate-wboc-to-manage-costs Significantly Viewed does still exist but this is the reason most providers are dropping duplicate affiliates.

They were in the parking lot of the sheriff’s office and it took the officers an hour and a half to get there? Either that’s an incredibly poorly written story or there’s an even bigger story to be done about Clayton County SO.

Some of these are going to have a hell of a transition. Like KOSA. -
The Ever-Evolving Gray Graphics Situation...Thread

I just noticed that WITN has updated their bug and website to remove the peacock. Still using the same old turquoise/blue/whatever graphics package. -
Job hopping for more money. Just like anyone else. Historically they get 2 year contracts and keep moving up in market rank for career growth.
-
That open reminds me a lot of the old Raycom package.
-
FCC has no jurisdiction over what airs on cable channels.
-
The branding reminds me of WNCN's ill fated "CBS North Carolina" phase.
-
I like the logo. It's unique and perfect for an app icon. And I assume that's what they were going for.

The Disney channels are back on Dish. That was a very short lived dispute by Dish standards.
-
Only the eight O&O markets are affected as far as ABC.
-
I've been a Dish subscriber for many years but I think I'm about done. IMO Dish is playing with fire here and getting a lot of customers that otherwise may have just stayed customers out of momentum to explore streaming services.
-
Yes they did. News is done from the old channel 47 building on Cushman Drive.
-
The overall presentation makes me think they use WTVD as a template. The set is new I guess. They just moved to a new building - the old WZRB building - but I don’t know if they took the old set with them or built something new.

WITN is launching a 3pm newscast called “ENC at Three” https://www.witn.com/2022/09/03/eastern-carolinas-only-3pm-show-brings-news-that-matters-you/
-
I don’t get the hate for that old logo. It’s better than a generic 8.
-
The blue and white floating/rotating squares remind me of the package WCTI used for 15+ years until Sinclair standardized them.
-
Apparently there is a contract in television even more ironclad than the one keeping The 700 Club on Freeform: the one Tribune signed to keep In The Heat of the Night on WGNA. WTF Nexstar? Do they just want NewsNation to fail as a news operation?

The Ever-Evolving Gray Graphics Situation...Thread

The Gray looks are so bad that WVUE looks good in comparison. I watched them again recently when tornados came through NOLA. Those ancient Raycom graphics still look better than WBTV does after having been “Gray-ified.” -
Favorite Graphics Packages from the 90s & 00s

WTVD hasn’t entirely abandoned this. The graphics are updated but they’ve still got the rapid speed city shots. -
Favorite Graphics Packages from the 90s & 00s

I loved the KCBS early/mid-2000s look. I believe KCNC had it too. Probably my favorite music package as well. I’m not sure how I feel about KCBS using a soft lens on all the studio cams but it absolutely matched the graphics. I was also a fan of KTLA’s 1997-2004 look where everything was a weight of Franklin Gothic. It was simplistic but good. Blue accents at night and orange accents in the morning.
