NEOMatrix 1295 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Just thought of this. If and when WOIO flips over to new branding, and music. It won't be Aerial, due the Kent State University TV 2 uses Aerial for its student newscasts. @Myron Falwell might want to chime in on this one. What about using This is the Place? Granted it might get confusing in the Youngstown DMA where WOIO is still carried because of WFMJ using TITP. However, WKBN uses Enforcer (albeit different cuts from WOIO) and they're BOTH carried in the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrannical bastard 3442 Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 I doubt Kent State's use of it would affect its usage by WOIO. As far as I know, TV2's reach may be limited to Kent's main campus, and maybe no further than Time Warner's Kent system. As for "This is the Place", it's fair game since Cleveland and Youngstown are separate markets. That never stopped WKYC from picking up 615's "Impact" almost a year and a half after WKBN started using it. And at the time, virtually all of the Cleveland stations were available on cable in Warren, firmly in Trumbull county and the Youngstown market.

Mrtraveler01 737 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 They could always use CBS Local if push comes to shove. I'd be shocked if they used anything else besides CBS Local. KFVS also used to have Enforcer and switched to CBS Local within the last month. I just assumed that WOIO would do something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KFVS also used to have Enforcer and switched to CBS Local within the last month. I just assumed that WOIO would do something similar. As did WBTV. As I said before, they've used the "I Love Chicago" signature since 2002 and it seems to have worked, so I wouldn't think that they would change now. We (finally!) have a Raycom station using TITP, and it's WFXG in Augusta. WFXG has its news produced from WTOC if I'm not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmkcool2002 7 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Raycom is investing in a new OTT network which is basically another Travel Channel. It's known as PTA Networks. Raycom will also be responsible for distributing PTA's shows onto linear TV. Will they be sold to a diginet? Will Raycom launch a PTA diginet? Or will Raycom sell PTA shows for broadcast during weekend windows since pre-recorded travel shows probably wouldn't do well on a daily basis. Another option would be to sell to a Disney network like FYI (since Raycom and Disney have a relationship) or to sell the programs to another cable network. I also wonder if PTA will launch a roadtrip show for ACC campuses? http://finance.yahoo.com/news/raycom-media-makes-strategic-investment-150100774.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what the plan is after Benson dies. Does Raycom get full control over it or does his wife get it and keep the SSA going with Raycom?

bhratbrat 423 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 At the moment that is the plan considering the latest swap. http://deadspin.com/suit-saints-owner-tom-benson-is-being-manipulated-by-h-1681345399 The daughter and grand-children are suing saying that Gayle is manipulating Mr. Benson. This also has letters stating that the children are out and Gayle is in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToriElectra 291 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Meanwhile, I found in this old Inside Edition report about the NAPTE a really old Raycom logo, at 4:07. They don't mention anything else about it, though. Concerning WVUE, I'm guessing Raycom is going to bide it's time to buy VUE until all this legal crap is flushed.

tyrannical bastard 3442 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 A nice upgrade for them. The set is worlds better, and even the graphics are a step up from what they were using. They'll look even better on the other Raycom stations upgrading their current looks. My hopes are up that WOIO can look this good when they relaunch.
