TheRolyPoly 1843 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 24/7 = 2003-2012? Still on air but is now General entertainment TXCN = 1999-2015 NWCN = 1995-2017 NewsWatch 15 = 1989-present Notice something? The repeat channel has lasted longer than the original produced channels.

Greggo 340 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 NWCN shutting down in January: http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/seattle-regional-cable-network-going-dark/180881 Classic Gannett/Tegna. They just spent all that money to move KING, KONG and NWCN to new headquarters. That would have been the ideal time to pull the plug. Instead, they spent lots of money to build a secondary studio, auxiliary control room and dedicated offices specifically for NWCN that will wind up having lasted less than a year. In addition to the money they've already spent, they're in a long-term lease and will be paying rent for that unnecessary space for years. Pure genius. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew 147 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 If you look at the set up nwcn you knew they wouldn't be running for long. The two studios can be used for KONG i hear they might be launching newscast on KONG arhat run at the same time as some KING broadcasts in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two studios can be used for KONG i hear they might be launching newscast on KONG arhat run at the same time as some KING broadcasts in the future That'll never happen. There will never be a KING 5 News at 11:00 and KONG 6 News at 11:00 or a KING 5 News at 4:00 and KONG 6 News at 4:00 because its like saying that KONG will open up its own news department to compete against KING. If anything, there can be more regional-focused newscasts that can be coming in a style of NWCN for KONG, but don't expect that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius22 120 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 KXTV's newsroom is now their studio until changes are being made it seems. they seem to start using the format KTXL and KCRA is using where they use sometimes the newsroom for cold opens and a different set. having the weather as a screen is like KTRK without the 3D. i could be wrong. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darius22 120 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Is the new name supposed to be the local version of World News Tonight ? well they are an ABC affiliate so i doubt that's why. also yes they did open the news as "ABC 10 LNT". and more new stuff from KXTV. they now pan the camera through their news room From and to Commercials similar to KCRA and WSVN. Weather forecasts are on a small box in the corner while other stuff on the Screen they use is on the main part of the weather shown here.

RCA TK47 273 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Mendonsa and Schornack are a great anchor team.... but this crapola format totally doesn't work for them. She's faking it too much; especially on the 11pm show by herself and he just looks out of his element trying to be hip with a sport coat sans tie. Get a new set in the studio and bring back some experienced reporters and hard news coverage. Some of these "reporters" they have now look like kids... literally like right out of the high school yearbook class. It's pretty hard to take them seriously when they talk to grampa Schornack and mama Mendonsa on camera. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are going to end as PIX with low ratings and "HOPEFULLY" removing this format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't AT&T have a share in LIN Broadcasting back in the day, or am I thinking wrong? Anyways, that would be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AT&T did have a 45% share in LIN Broadcasting, which spun off its TV holdings as LIN TV Corporation in 1994. AT&T acquired McCaw Cellular Communications the same year.
