caliwxdude 252 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 More info on some upcoming changes in Fresno for KSEE and KGPE from the Fresno Bee, including glimpses of KGPE's new set. The set reminds me a little of WCCO and WBNS. http://www.fresnobee.com/2013/10/02/3531871/fresnos-ksee-kgpe-under-one-roof.html Here's a preview video from KGPE that shows some of the new graphics and more of the set. I really like the new cut of Enforcer they're using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2876 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Is it a Stephen Arnold version of Enforcer perhaps? Also, it's the first time since the early/mid 90s that 47 will be using the Eyewitness News name. When they were using it they were still KJEO!

sanewsguy 509 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 That's not enforcer they're using... No it's not. Having said that, it definitely sounds like Arnold did something custom for them. I love it, beats Enforcer any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broadcastfan9751 136 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 WMAZ will carry The CW on its sub. WMAZ posted yesterday that it will carry programming from the CW Television Network on its digital subchannel 13.2. Currently the programming is aired exclusively on a Cox Cable channel. Cox Cable will be carrying the new channel on cable channel 3. Other providers are also planning to add the channel soon. Along with the channel, WMAZ will be adding two new newscast on the new subchannel. It will have a half-hour morning newscast at 7am and a half-hour newscast after CW primetime programming at 10pm. It would probably be impossible for Frontier to add the CW since they have two HD streams for Fox & ABC. I wouldn't see much of a problem if Morris would've add it on its sub, even with them having NBC & MyNet. And you know they're not going to knock on Register's door. In other words, why the CW didn't pursue having an OTA channel, seven years ago? The next question is going to be, if WMAZ is going to air The CW in HD as well. Some CW Plus affils are now carrying it in HD as we speak. That will be the first CW affiliate for Gannett, before the Belo deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAnewsjunkie 6 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 So many questions about the KMIR/KPSE sale. Is this their first news operation? What happens to the WX segments that were sourced by Journal-owned KTNV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bsean 138 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 It seems that Monica Dean is filling the vacant anchor position left open at KNSD by Christine Haas. It appears she will only anchor at 4p and 5p while the morning team will cover the 11a. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2876 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Another new newscast, this time at Univision outlet KUTH Salt Lake City. This one seems to be a low-effort job. Notice they've hubbed out weather. Anchor Irene Caso has come full-circle: she started at KUTH when it was owned by Equity then moved to Little Rock to anchor a centrally-produced newscast for Equity's Univision outlets.

He was also out in Salt Lake City at KTVX. Based on his past, it's hard to gauge how he will run KCTV. What was his past like? A market like Kansas City picking up a news director that used to work in LA seems like a pretty big get to me. That was 20 years ago. It's not a big deal, and you can't run a Kansas City newsroom the same way you would run a Los Angeles newsroom anyway. Perret has been out of work most of the year. He interviewed for the ND job at Meredith's KPHO in Phoenix, but didn't get it. I'm sure he'll do a fine job at KCTV. He's walking into a winning situation. Perret will probably draw more on his experience at Magid than anything. News directors who previously worked as consultants stroll into the newsroom armed with research. They'll tell you "this worked in market X, so it will work here" or "mostly women over age 70 watch newscasts at this time, all stories need to be relevant to them." That has been my experience.

Samantha 2876 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 WISH's Debby Knox has announced her retirement, scheduled for next month, after 33 years at the station.

swillh2k2 203 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 If the newscast is successful, do you think they might start a 6pm weekday newscast? Without a doubt. Remember, Fox owns the rights for TMZ for its O&Os. Once TMZ's agreement with WCCB ends, expect TMZ to jump to 'JZY and 'CCB to launch a weekday 6pm newscast.

TVIntheDesert 183 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 One more station bites the dust. Independent KTUD-CD Las Vegas signed off the air for good last night. The station was purchased by a partnership of the Greenspun family (who owns media and real estate holdings in LV) and a New York investment firm in 2004 for $18 million at the height of station values (a record that still stands for a low-power station), then everything went downhill from there (the closure of UPN, losing programming rights, the digital transition, one trip through Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection). To keep this slightly on topic, the station did air a nightly newscast from KSNV that barely measured in the Nielsens (just like the rest of their shows). http://www.vegasinc.com/news/2013/oct/11/declining-ad-revenue-forces-las-vegas-tv-station-c/?_ga=1.111614916.1114580799.1381537037 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2876 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 At one time KLAS was KTUD's newscast partner. It didn't help that Sinclair's station, with its far deeper leverage, was able to get the CW affiliation over KTUD, nor did it help that the recession probably hurt Las Vegas the worst of any major media market.

Also, KTUD was able to share the rights of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" with KLAS until she left broadcast TV (ironically, the Greenspuns founded KLAS in the '50s and were successful with it until Howard Hughes purchased it as his personal late-night cinema), and they scored a coup in 2007 by winning the rights to off-network "Family Guy." However, the writing was on the wall when Sinclair kept getting bigger and were the go-to guys for program distributors, leaving KTUD with the leftovers, like "Community."

T.L.

In addition, this makes WGN, XETV and KCWI the only news-producing CW affiliates without weekend evening newscasts that air before primetime (the latter two cases are justified since XETV doesn't carry an early evening newscast to begin with and KCWI does not have any evening newscasts; WGN is peculiar though since its 5 p.m. news could easily be expanded to weekends as its sports programming rarely bleeds into or starts at that timeslot on Saturdays and Sundays, even during baseball season as White Sox and Cubs afternoon games often end before 5 p.m. on those days).
