Yikes. One more reason to recommend that station broadcasting on Channel 17, WNCN's namesake. You know the callsign.
-
Nexstar couldn't be that shortsighted. This is not Lexington, KY where you have a low-quality competitor (cough, WTVQ). In the Triangle, your competitors are some of the best stations in the entire country. There will be no way WNCN can poach viewers away unless Nexstar does something different, and launching another newscast is not the solution.

Quick reminder: The CBS affiliate in Lima is WOHL-CD, owned by the owners of WDRB (Block Communications).

The Ever-Evolving Gray Graphics Situation...Thread
TheSpeedKing replied to NEOMatrix's topic in Graphics
The Rock is garbage IMO. I would've preferred NBC to sell back the O&O package to SAM for syndication rather than keeping The Rock. CBS Local *might* have been another option if they wanted to pull a WVIT and use the Enforcer logo. -
The Ever-Evolving Gray Graphics Situation...Thread

Like WOIO's? Graphics implemented during Gray ownership are considered Gray graphics in my books. Howell probably does not care where those graphics came from. So, they're going out-of-house. -
The Ever-Evolving Gray Graphics Situation...Thread
TheSpeedKing replied to NEOMatrix's topic in Graphics
We don't know what's happening with Gray graphics at this point. The Meredith hub's fate is unknown, so before any of the ex-Quincy stations get new graphics, Gray must decide whether to shift these stations to the Meredith hub or to shut the Meredith hub down and go out-of-house (a la Page 1 of this thread). -
KNSD has the new bug as of today.
-
I mean...the CSD's work here is very childish, like a lot of Nexstar stations' in-house work. New watchers (important for the marketers) will not be captivated if your graphics are garbage. Nexstar, please hire CSDs that know today's design languages.

I'm still not convinced that WDKY had a reason (besides network affiliation) to not use the KOIN package. As for the logo, it's basically a coloured version of the generic Tegna Fox affiliate logos.
-
As for WDKY, the rebrand took place as scheduled. New Nexstar website as well. IMO, the new logo reminds me of KGO-TV. I'm not aware of any airchecks yet, so I don't know if the ticker was removed (Good for them if they did!).

WJZY to become Queen City News starting in the new year
TheSpeedKing replied to CarolinaWxGuy's topic in Graphics
I like WOIO's non-newscast branding (Cleveland's CBS 19). In addition, this is only applicable to non-newscast branding. The news department (which most people see) can keep their own branding. -

How about "Charlotte's Very Own Fox 46?" It's Gray with a hint of Tribune. -

And I stand corrected. -

That's not a bad logo! However, now WJZY could get in trouble for using government logos. -

That's a no-no! WQCN is an LPFM in Richmond, Virginia. No, but do both cities have the nickname of "Eyewitness City"? -

They're an also-ran. I meant it when I said it was a 3-way battle. -

Cincinnati is not a Nexstar market (it's a 3-way race between Hearst, Sinclair and Scripps), so for them, why care? -
And why most of their stations are dead last in the ratings.
-
Agreed. Despite Charlotte's strong points, they are not a market like Boston to be able to handle 5 newsrooms. While I'm all in favour of more competition, station owners need to put more news in markets that need it, especially in 2 newsroom markets like Toledo, Ohio.
-
Except for the fact that KDVR's creative services department is a joke. They took a small-market graphics package that is a ripoff of a package that has crappy 3D glass effects and was first launched in 2013 (Tribune Fox).
-
At least they tried to do something different, but please no sensationalism, gossip, rumours or bias.
-
WCCB is better than ever as an "independent". There's no way Fox will be convinced to buy Bahakel.
-
Look N is not being syndicated. It's decommisioned.
-
I was suggesting this as it could be presented as a high-quality E/I programme to rival the garbage that is Today 3rd Hour on WXIA, and a nice change of pace from yet another newscast.
-
WNBC and WRC-TV do not have it yet. As a matter of fact, WRC-TV still has Look N monitors from their at-home "studios".
