C Block 1203 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 New social media logo for KTTV. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roadrunner 177 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) 2 hours ago, C Block said: New social media logo for KTTV. It's in line with the revised website identities they implemented about 2 weeks ago or so. It's more plain, but I sure won't miss the searchlights and the gaudy my-fox branding though, as historically associated as they've been with Fox. (And OK this isn't the graphics thread, but is anyone ever a little annoyed by the end of the arm on the F just being slightly diagonal?)

channel2 777 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 It's a cue they took from the 20th Century Fox logo itself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LoadStar 331 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) I see that they migrated WITI over to the Fox web publishing platform. Looks like according to archive.org, it seems to have happened on July 30. (Still using the "Fox6Now.com" domain.) Edited August 1, 2020 by LoadStar Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They have changed their Facebook logo to the current FTS format and updated their weather app. The Watch Live stand by has also changed, a sign of things to come?

tyrannical bastard 2334 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 MoffettNathanson to New Fox. "....dump the broadcast network." https://tvnewscheck.com/article/top-news/252665/fox-should-dump-broadcast-net-says-wall-street-analyst/ New Fox is pretty diluted as it is, since the entertainment assets are now part of Disney. It's basically Fox Network, Fox News, and Fox Sports. The latter will be even lesser if/when Sinclair rebrands the RSNs they bought. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, I am glad that Disney is keeping the 20th Century brand and legacy alive for centuries to come. I wish Disney would have merged 20th and Touchstone Pictures into--get this--20th Century Touchstone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

T.L. Hughes 462 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) Tubi has added live news streams from the Fox Television Stations, NewsNOW from Fox and Fox Soul as part of a new "News on Tubi" section, a new FAST (free ad-supported streaming television) channel offering that will also include NBC News Now, Black News Channel, WeatherNation TV, CBC News (the curated stream already available on Xumo), Bloomberg Television, Cheddar, fubo Sports Network, PeopleTV and News 12 New York (not sure if it's a curated feed of content from each of the News 12 Networks or a pure live stream of any of the channels). "News from Tubi" is only available on Tubi's Google Play, Roku and Amazon Fire TV apps; curiously, they didn't bother to roll it out to its other apps, most glaringly, its Apple app. Edited October 8, 2020 by T.L.

For what it's worth, users may not be missing much. It's been nearly a week and I have yet to find "News on Tubi" in the Roku or Google Play versions of the app. Curious if anyone has had success testing this out so far.

I know AJC showed WSB is (...or could be 'was' now) leading overall (in the demos) at the 4PM hour back in the beginning weeks of the pandemic, and I don't know if the TVNC article meant WAGA was #1 in total households or 25-54, but either way, it shows great promise for WAGA to become an even stronger competitor in traditional WSB territory.

And now that three of the four Atlanta stations will have news at 4:00, it’s safe to say that WXIA won’t be sacrificing Ellen DeGeneres ever (or even moving her to WATL), as she’s been doing very well despite the recent troubles. The expansion also means Judge Judy now at 3:00 and 3:30, with Divorce Court now at 2:30 am (after Access Hollywood). Edited November 23, 2020 by johnnya2k6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roadrunner 177 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Something something FCC something something "Fox Seeks Permanent Waiver to Co-Own 'NYPost' and WWOR-TV" After the Third Circuit reinstated the crossownership prohibition in 2019, Fox is basically asking to be able to own WWOR permanently the same way it owns WNYW and also be able to hold NYPost with it (I'm grossly summarizing there), which they believe the FCC's 2018 decision to eliminate the restriction reinforces. It does come with opponents so we'll see what happens in the lame-duck era of this FCC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mrschimpf 780 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) Anyone seeing FNC and Laura Ingraham tonight on the O&O's after Fox primetime (or before on the West Coast)? I put on WITI to get the weather, and saw FNC on the air rather than the local 9pm show. I don't think this is the smartest thing to do tonight by any means.

My O&O, KMSP, stopped the special report after the Bret Baier show. I found a stream from a different Fox station that had the special report continue up to the end of Hannity before Fox ended it themselves. Didn't know they had The Ingraham Angle on as well. Did it have the standard Fox News Channel logo (Blue box with White lettering, clock in the red sliver underneath) or the Fox Broadcasting version (which is a White box with a Blue lettering, red sliver has no clock) version of it? That would help know if Fox offered it or if you local station just simulcasted the FNC feed. And yeah, nobody on from 7-10ct should do a Special Report. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was definitely the blue FNC cable feed, not the white no-clock Fox logo that was part of the SR all day. WITI aired regular Fox primetime beforehand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LoadStar 331 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 While watching NFL on FOX (on WITI Milwaukee), I have noticed *way* more promos for FOX News Channel than I ever remember seeing before. I don't know if it's just that they've started placing national ad spots when they haven't before... if these are local ad inserts that FNC is doing now that WITI is an O&O... or if they always did ad spots, but the ads had been previously "overridden" by some other local ad insert prior to WITI becoming an O&O. I don't really watch WITI much for news, but between the simulcast of FNC mentioned above and the increase in advertising from FNC, I am extremely nervous about the potential of FOX News corporate exerting editorial control over WITI's local news product now that they're an O&O.
