    And the first show is on Studio 31 Media Archive (thanks @sanewsguy). Beyond has been dropped for production music. Steve Kamer and Beau Weaver have been retained as VOs (WJZY has two!). WJZY is the first station to decommission the Fox O&O look in favour of a custom version of the Nexstar Fox look, FOX-G. IMO, that’s a downgrade, but the ticker is now removed.

    IMO, The Hill would be a good branding for CW network newscasts and is a stronger brand compared to NewsNation.
  3. TheSpeedKing
    Nexstar produces whatever is on NewsNation as well as The Hill's morning show.

    Isn't WKYC #1 at 11pm? But anyways, WEWS is a very stable station and I wouldn't mind CBS moving there, causing WOIO to become an independent.

    This also makes me wonder about W30EY-D. Gray appears to want to relay WXIX closer to Dayton. While not a larger market, part of me wonders if Gray wants to cover the entire nation with full-power "hubs" and fill in other markets using LPs (albeit with syndication blackouts) so they don't have to worry about broadcast range. In Ohio, Gray could relay WTVG in Lima and WOIO in Columbus with LPs.

    That will probably happen. NewsNation can put a seperate 6-7pm news magazine without ads similar to PBS NewsHour, and that could lure some viewers away to The CW. I don't think CBS will get rid of ALL of their CW O&Os, just some.
  7. TheSpeedKing
    Good. I'm hoping Weigel axes the more...questionable subchannels, as well has audio simulcasts that are just consuming bandwidth.
  8. TheSpeedKing
    Nexstar has basically implied that they are content with the number of full power TV stations they have, and will not acquire any more besides any potential sale of the smaller market CW O&Os.

    Probably with some new graphics (Tegna ABC perhaps?) and replacing C Clarity with production music.

    WAVE fixed up its own in-house take on LIM4.1. They don't like Gray's "corporate graphics", a hodgepodge of garbage looks here and there, replaced frequently. New look?
  11. TheSpeedKing
    Yeah. you have a point, but let's not speculate here.
  12. TheSpeedKing
    New graphics as well? 2019-2020 look refreshed for VizRT? Either way, this is shaping up to be a great rebrand.
  13. TheSpeedKing
    The WAVE logo is usually applied to flat elements only-don't be concerned about that. Also, have you seen their previous graphics? (Videos are in this thread)
  14. TheSpeedKing
    I'm not concerned about WNCN moving Y&R to the recommended time slot, but I'm more concerned about what they are replacing it in that timeslot.
  15. TheSpeedKing
    Finally! This is what I’ve been hoping for all these years. Modernity has been something WAVE pushed really hard as of late. So a “fresh” logo design was in order.
  16. TheSpeedKing
    Why? Just why?
  17. TheSpeedKing
    Yikes. One more reason to recommend that station broadcasting on Channel 17, WNCN's namesake. You know the callsign.
  18. TheSpeedKing
    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.
  19. TheSpeedKing
    Quick reminder: The CBS affiliate in Lima is WOHL-CD, owned by the owners of WDRB (Block Communications).
  20. TheSpeedKing
    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.
  21. TheSpeedKing
    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.
  22. TheSpeedKing
    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).
  23. TheSpeedKing
    KNSD has the new bug as of today.
  24. TheSpeedKing
    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.
  25. TheSpeedKing
    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.
