KGTV's site already blocks users who have ad blockers. So this wasn't much of a surprise. But Scripps now is really wanting you to see banner ads on their sites, and I don't like that.

WWMT's news opens from 1996-2006 takes cues from the Hearst camera opens, when they used Signature. WISN (Hearst) is sort of literally across the lake from WWMT (at the time Freedom). They stopped using the music at the beginning of 2007 (switching to Enforcer) due to SESAC, and changed graphics and branding at the same time.

WXIN used a rip-off of the first generation Fox O&O graphics in their opens from 2006 until they went HD in 2009. The Fox O&O music was used though. Sister stations WTIC and WPMT used the actual Fox O&O graphics.

Nexstar is no longer in Jacksonville. Ironically, considering they bought the station from Media General in 2009, WCWJ has been sold to Graham Media Group.

Other than WXYZ and KSHB, are there any Scripps stations with drones?

No response yet. Feel free to respond--maybe they are trying to copy WMAR (which also has a WeatheRate seal of approval, and a 2 degree guarantee).

For the past 2 years, WUSA has been claiming that they have the most accurate forecast, with a WeatheRate seal of approval, and they also now have a 3 degree guarantee as of 2015. Any opinions?

Reminds me of NPG owning every station in the Yuma/El Centro area.

I think KPNX is still the #1 station in the market. When TEGNA was Gannett, they have WSVN-ified their graphics and music before in 2008. That did not affect KUSA's ratings, and it might not have affected WTSP's ratings, either. The rest of the Gannett stations' ratings might also not have been affected. KARE was nice enough to keep their existing music, and KUSA was nice enough to keep their existing graphics on their teases (until 2012) and talent opens (also until 2012), and their existing music on their talent opens (until 2012) and closes (until February 2009). Gannett called themselves as being nimble at one point according to an old Gannett website. It said so on the first page of the company's annual report. Qwest also called themselves as being nimble through their slogan from 2010 until they were integrated into CenturyLink in 2011: "Get Qwest. Get Nimble". That was after they retired their "Spirit of Service" campaign, which they used from 2002-2008. Do you think TEGNA is still nimble, and how can that be compared to CenturyLink? As for the ratings in the Phoenix area, Scripps-owned KNXV is the number 2 station in the market.

I wonder what will happen to that 8% stake when the Sinclair-Tribune deal finishes. CareerBuilder being partially owned by Sinclair doesn't make sense to me. When and if it's finished, I guess Sinclairibune will sell it by then.

Did not realize that. However, considering how many people are cutting the cord and moving to OTT (over-the-top) services (like Sling TV, YouTube TV, PS Now and DirecTV Now), and the fact that now more people check local news on their mobile devices, the fact that those social media newscasts such as The Now were created might be to get viewers (especially younger people) back to watching local news on TV. The Now and other social media newscasts should have been done for as fast as Sonic the Hedgehog. They generate negative ratings.

Thanks. However, The Now should not have been created in the first place. I know Scripps was trying to be creative, but The Now might be the reason why KXTV and WTSP now have social media newscasts for EVERY newscast. Having WRTV not having it anymore, as well as the fact it's not on every Scripps station, and the fact its at 4pm only (unlike those 2 TEGNA stations) helps. It's Scripps' fault, and ESPECIALLY Denver 7 and 41 Action News' fault.

I'm not sure why WRTV got out of it. Maybe they realized The Now was hurting their 5pm and 6pm ratings. Anyways, what was the other test station for The Now? I forgot if I knew that before.

Other than Indianapolis, what Scripps markets do not have The Now? Try to give me a complete list.

I didn't know Nexstar had a second Founder's Day of Caring. But Nexstar needs to learn that once a year isn't "a regular basis". If Nexstar were a good company, chances are they might give out more community service, and perhaps own less television stations and have less layoffs, which could even lead to a conclusion that Founder's Day wouldn't exist. Since I have no actual TV, despite my interest in TV, and since I did not go out two days ago I did not notice that there was a second Founder's Day although I live in a Nexstar market. Happy late Founder's Day, everyone.

Which version, though?

I have seen somewhere else (perhaps on this site) that a company called TAG made the ring graphics. Does anybody know what TAG stands for? And if TAG did not make it, might it have been made in-house?

I was born in 2003, and I always lived in Phoenix, Arizona, like 4 other users I know of on this site. I never worked for Hearst-Argyle, and I'm only 14. So, I don't remember exactly when KOAT got their first H-A mandated set. However, I still want you to give me the NewsActive3 compilation showing WCVB's "transition" opens (camera graphics with Newsmusic Central package). There seems to be no other signs of it on YouTube.

Which was called B Package at the time. The duopoly of KCRA and KQCA were the only known stations using this version of B Package, which had the Where The News Comes First signature. Around December 2014, B Package was renamed Revolution after WMUR and WIS (a Raycom station) stopped using it.

In 2000. The NMSA says KOAT got Image News in 1998, which is incorrect.

Sad, especially the fact that KUSA has had Adele for many years. When Tegna was Gannett, they were much better. They were a nimble company that cared about what they had been doing. Today, Tegna is nimble and creative, but sometimes they're bad. Chances are Tegna will hire KPNX a younger, cheaper investigative reporter and a producer who isn't so smart. Then people might end up watching more investigative reports on 15 and 5.

Actually, KOAT used their own variations of the camera graphics between 2003 and 2004. In 2004, KOAT got the Newsmusic Central package, and KOAT also got the ring graphics later that year.

But WESH and WLKY first used the Newsmusic Central package at the same time as when WCVB debuted the ring graphics in Dec. 2003. Also, WLKY was misspelled as WKLY in the above post. I forgot to use this as a reply to the above post. Anyways, I still want a link to WCVB using the Newsmusic Central package with the camera graphics in 2003.

I was talking about WCVB. And besides, I already watched that video before.

Where can I find that WCVB open? Give me a link; seems like the News Music Central package came out before the Hearst ring graphics; I thought both came out at the same time.
