    This is a speculation: Is this downgrade gonna make WKYC even worse than the time they were NBC’s “farm” system?

     

    Inside the station: As long as there isn't chronic talent turnover, they should be fine.

    Outside the station (viewers watching at home): The rebranding shouldn't make the station any worse than the "farm system" era, but they're screwed either way.

    Their soon-to-be-new logo?

    ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW??? WHAT THE F$&% IS THIS?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?

    THIS is where we're at with broadcast logo design?

     

    There are things in life that just doesn't need to happen. This is one of them.

    Now I gotta update their Logopedia page with this painfully underwhelming abomination that ANYONE can recreate in Powerpoint in just under ten seconds...

     

    It hasn't debuted yet and it's already giving every bad station logo a run for their money; yes, even this logo from station KXDF-CD.

    TROIKA EVEN MADE YOU A LOGO! AND IT'S 999,999,999X BETTER THAN WHAT'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN!!! (image below)

    But KFC, you're overreacting to a simple TV station logo; even channel 5 in the UK used a logo exactly similar to this.

     

    1. This logo is so underwhelming and bland that I cannot just sit on the sidelines and let WKYC or Tegna get away with this.

    2. What works in Great Britain doesn't always translate well in here in the US.

    Yes, I think that is what I mean. It looks unfinished and its awkward animations and pauses. I am wondering if the larger markets are getting a more "pizzazz" package, while smaller markets, something lesser. But, it doesn't surprise me with Gray. I always thought the WRDW graphics were awkward and horrendously bland also. 

     

    Knowing how cheap most of Gray's graphics packages look, this was the only thing that I feared would happen to the ex-Raycom stations when the merger was announced; and it's already happening in a couple of markets (Memphis & East Texas)

  4. According to this, it appears that Sinclair "must-runs" may have found their way into more prominent positions in the regular newscasts at KOMO-TV Seattle, with one running during a 6 pm newscast:

     

    https://www.seattlepi.com/seattlenews/article/Sinclair-must-run-segments-Seattle-KOMO-12773700.php

     

    Originally reported by Joe Veyra at Queen Anne and Magnolia News:

    Two possible reasons why this happened:

     

    1. Sinclair executives are just now finding out about KOMO's "must-run" scheme; they threatened to fire the news director if the segments didn't come on during times when people are actually watching.

     

    2. Ratings for KOMO's 6pm newscasts are taking a nosedive for some reason, so they're temporarily dumping the "must-runs" there until ratings pick back up.

  5. Bumping a month-old post, but KRBC is probably not a knock-off. A now-defunct company did the look for WVIT and WVTM at the same time, and they also did a few other NBC affiliates. Here's WVTM from 1999

    Hate to bump this thread, but what was that graphics company in question? And what was their website?
