tw-804 190 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 About time someone picked up Connection. I wonder if they're slowly transitioning to the blue graphics. WIAT's been using the open (WTNH graphics) since 2014 after the "WIAT 42 News" rebranding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WIAT's been using the open (WTNH graphics) since 2014 after the "WIAT 42 News" rebranding. Parts of it look like the WFLA/WCMH package, which make it look more of a mismatch of consistency.

tyrannical bastard 3410 Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 WJTV and WHLT have merged their websites into one, but under the WJTV.com URL. They have a website layout similar to the Nexstar layout. Makes one wonder if Nexstar will merge these two markets (Jackson and Hattiesburg, MS) together under the traditional Nexstar URL they give stations. WKRG also has that same website layout now as well. It appears that WHLT has all but given up doing any newscasts of their own of ANY kind....and just simulcasting WJTV's with a WHLT bug added to them. They're trying to pass off this as news "from the capital." And of course, WDAM eats their lunch since they're a LOCAL station and have covered the PINE BELT for YEARS...even the Raycom content from around the state sprinkled in (WLOX, WLBT and WMC) mixes better than what WHLT is doing! And they're not using it well. They've also butchered their graphics. Sad. Hopefully, the Nexstar graphics are coming soon. WIAT 42 CBS WBMG-TV has certainly gone from hell to good and back to hell again. (New Vision saved them and LIN made them terrible again) I'd even take a Nexstar parallelogram over their disaster of a look. (cbs eye) WIAT would be a blessing of a logo. Now if only WKRG would use ANYTHING but that darn Media General music that should have been canned 5 years ago!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannical bastard 3410 Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 Even the last WBMG logo is a vast improvement! (and it looks like their bastard cousins over in Atlanta ripped them off for their CBS 46 logo several years later!) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tw-804 190 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 It appears that Nexstar pulled its stations' live streaming from the NewsOn apps and WatchNewsOn.com. It was replaced with "Unfortunately, ____ is no longer available on NewsOn. For ____'s coverage on NewsOn, you can tune into ____." or "We're working to add another station in the area as soon as possible" or a black screen. The stations' logos were replaced by the NewsOn logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad enough that a lot of the legacy Nexstar stations still don't live stream their newscasts, now this happens. Something tells me they're on the verge of axing the streams altogether next as another one of many many cost-cutting moves by this station group. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well... that goes my list on my thread in the breakroom section.In Nexstar's defense, live streaming really isn't that cheap. I mean, live streaming with broadcast quality cameras? Those don't come cheap, not to mention legacy media isn't as alive as it once was. Then again, Nexstar could've at least kept the livestreams of stations that already had them.

dman748 1250 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Yet the vast majority of Nexstar stations seem to be holding on to it for some reason. It seems as if Media General bought Nexstar and not the other way around because if you notice not only did the former MG stations retain their websites but the executives of Media General (and LIN before Media General acquired LIN) has taken over Nexstar. I actually think that Nexstar has changed for the better post-Media General merger and I hope the existing Nexstar stations (including the legacy stations) do away with "localhomepage.net" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From taking away employee benefits to cheap sets and graphics, to forcing stations to use Stephen Arnold themes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, I do see your point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
