Wait… what?

This was Cinemagic back in the day, right? Decent stuff for the time and I think they were the only company to put out pricing on their website... and they were dirt cheap.

and re-packaged for Nexstar and re-packaged again for CNN New Day Will be fun to see where this look gets recycled and sold to next.

This is not accurate. She was brought in as a freelancer at KPNX after they parted ways with their art director long after the launch.

Here's an article yesterday from the NY Post: https://nypost.com/2021/05/06/tv-giant-tegna-faces-discrimination-accusations-ahead-of-shareholder-vote/ Nothing really all that new in there, and in light of today's news... not sure any of it matters.

Probably not going to be all that interesting. I know it's fun to rip on TEGNA, and they deserve it for any number of things, but seriously if you open the books on ANY broadcast company, you'll find these exact same problems. I also know we like to imagine that the mom-and-pop-owned Dispatch stations were a haven before TEGNA, but this behavior didn't happen overnight once new ownership came on board. Every single local station I ever worked for had issues like these. You can trace back a lot of those discrimination complaints, like at WTSP for example, to the Joel Cheetwood-era of getting local management to fire all of their expensive legacy talent for much, much cheaper younger talent.

WDJT marks 25 years as Milwaukee's last place news station: https://cbs58.com/news/cbs-58-news-marks-25-years-on-the-air?fbclid=IwAR1PTLD4h5zRwEU6gj0XUrau3zphvSo37rg8t1F90SGva9NTYZtnxqIWqiQ

Yes, but bad in a different way... (ask any woman who ever worked in creative at a CBS O&O...)

I don’t know how anyone can look at this and think this is what a modern media operation in 2021 should look like.

You think they're expanding the FS1 facility to bring in a local television operation? Charlotte needs to add like 500,000 people to make it into the top 15, when do you see that happening?

Kinda makes you miss the days of control rooms warmed by the many cathode-ray tubes... and no salvation under the hot studio lights anymore, they've all gone LED!

It’s not related to the WCCO track. It likely is from the newer stuff, even though it sounds like it’s from 2005...

CNN?

That looks alright. Probably the most “modern” CBS News has looked in a very, very long time.

I think they just wanted larger boxes. The ones in this package were still 4:3 safe if I recall and most of these newscasts live in double boxes now. I can’t imagine anything from this current look, which was a pretty lame evolution of the previous look, will show up in their new package.

The Weather Channel has had no problem covering local severe weather remotely for what... 30 years or more now? I'm sure this won't be a huge issue for whatever this is Fox ends up doing.

How dare that commercial station commercialize a commercial during this commercial-related holiday season?! OUTRAGE.

Well that's... something. Is Lester anchoring from his house with a feed of the studio keyed in now?

If he loses his job, there's a pipeline to WDJT from WITI via their new GM... put money on it.

I can tell you the most likely scenario - a producer somewhere felt it "needed to be special"! That is how stations go off-brand 99.9% of the time. (The other .1%, well actually considerably larger than that, is when sales sells something and doesn't let the creative team know so now we need to shoehorn a massive heating and air company logo into a 7-day forecast banner or ticker design... and you won't even be able to make it out... but hey, it's added value so... )

Imagine being one of the many reporters who were offered weeklong tryouts for the spot on Get Up and getting slapped in the face like this. Really poor news leadership over there. Absolutely pathetic.

This guy is disgusting. Most of his stories are completely made up. After running into him at a bar in Oakland a few years ago and seeing how he behaved, this all makes sense. Glad finally someone is saying something.
