They couldn't even center the anchor right
Poor dude
Is this some "kiddie" network? Who the hell uses a Gmail address? Seems very unprofessional.

Of all time? That can include international news right? I give to you... Zambia's KBN TV. I pulled the whole clip from this CNN article.
This intro is just awful.

I always thought that WPLG and WSVN shared one. Not surprised that WFTS leads the coverage for Tampa Bay. WFTS and WFLA always talk big about their helicopters. WPTV is also

WPTV was very proud to present their HD helicopter.

Anyone else feel that the new website design is slower than before?

All the websites are still in Cordillera layout but now have the Scripps logo at the bottom... Will only be a matter of time before they switch over as well
So they'll be using the Scripps CMS?

Wonder how this happened?
Credit WFTS Facebook.

Well, the community director position at WFTS is being terminated on April 5th.

Seems like changes coming to WTSP.
They misspelled the side text....

So roughly the ex-Media General (and ex-ex-LIN) stations left Wordpress...only to go back to Wordpress.
Who would be left on Lakana then? Graham and the Fox O&O's? Does Nexstar spin this to Graham to cut their losses given Graham's loyalty to Lakana dating back to the earliest days of Internet Broadcasting?Many others use Lakana though as well.

Wonder if we could see them also switching to WP?

For the front-end website publishing it is handled by Lakana and they are more than likely using AWS. In that case, it is more important for them to be at near 100% uptime. I am assuming that Nexstar probably is working towards enterprising their backend IT infrastructure including Virtualization (like station operations/DCs/Exchange Servers/i.e.)
During parkland, Local Media Sites especially WSVN couldn't handle the traffic. WordPress VIP fell FLAT.

Admittedly it is easier to handle scale of operations from a cloud perspective and going towards AWS or some other cloud based platform. Means for the stations IT department, they do not actually have to have the station's website on a station's local servers, and can ensure maximum uptime for a station's web presence. I would also expect that with virtualization being big as well, if a company like Nexstar isn't using something that is enterprised across their stations (for contingency purposes), than that would be kind of silly.
My guess is, it's all managed by lakana. I could be wrong but the login pages for publishing are all StationID.lakana.com
It's clear as day here in the footer

WXYZ has begun running promos for “7 Action News at 4pm”... looks like somebody got the memo about “The NOW” and it’s going bye bye...
Interesting. Doing a quick google search, WPTV was looking for a producer for the show not too long ago.

Wonder if other stations will follow?

Is Nexstar rolling out a different format website layout??
Check out KXAN's site -- totally different than other sites... I rather like it myself...
https://www.wfla.com/ also seems to be different.
More and more broadcast groups seem to be using https://www.lakana.com/index.html vs the former WordPress VIP or https://web.liferay.com/products/what-is-a-portal/enterprise-cms
Noticed that more and more news sites are switching to AWS. Most likely to handle breaking stories and scale better, I assume?

Sorry if this is sort of offtopic. However, I never knew how often news stations "pool" or use media from other sources. Particularly CNN NewsSource. Although, I can't say I'm surprised. Must be a hell of a lot cheaper than having journalists and reporters everywhere. Now that I think about it and "look out" for it, I notice it. Sometimes it's plain as day when certain stations forget to cut their stream before CNN NewsSource does

That's a shock.
On 1/12/2019 at 5:04 PM, Eat News said: We have a few folks here that deal with the CNN desk(s) on a daily basis...and those folks sit in on the conference calls, so it's no secret this has been bubbling under the surface for quit awhile with more than one station in the CNN affiliate system.
Can you elaborate?

She's not with TWC anymore. She left TWC in September.
Looks like she's mainly been doing freelance work for NBC on the Today Show and on WNBC since then.
Any idea as to why she's leaving?
