TheGuru 159 Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 I have yet to see NewsNation cut in to WGNA since the AP called the race for Biden. That's quite the bad look when you're trying to compete at the national level. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It looked the Weekend team was handling it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sendir 96 Posted November 7 Author Share Posted November 7 Yikes. That production was just bad and that shot of Aaron. I thought this was a national news source? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When Biden took the lead in PA yesterday, they broke in with it and used the same shot you're talking about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, it's weird. They prioritized having that graphic on display above him, when normally the priority is to have both people in a double box be on equal zoom levels. It definitely does look odd. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Weeters 1,073 Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 It looks like they sent the camera operator home, and had them lock off these shots before they left. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jase 498 Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 (edited) 15 hours ago, MetroCity said: Nexstar being a publicly traded company is somewhat irrelevant. Nexstar is so big, the NewsNation budget is just a blip in the budget. Yes, they had big launch expenses, but they came at a time when they were integrating new acquisitions into the company, and likely already making big capital purchases. And yes, they do have a significant staff. But in a company of that size, the NN staff isn’t necessarily a stand-out, especially when post-merger layoffs and attrition would have offset them. Yes. NN is likely small potatoes in the grand scheme of things. But, in order to make money, they have to spend money. To make NN and WGN America work, they are going to have to spend a lot of money and I doubt many will be willing to silently sit back and wait 5-10 yrs for a return on investment. Plus, with new (and likely better) news options coming in the months/years ahead, they can't afford to wait to make meaningful (and financial) improvements. I'm sure they're aware of this and much more. Hopefully, they start to take the necessary steps before NN and WGN America are no more and that would be unfortunate. 2 hours ago, Spring Rubber said: Yeah, it's weird.

I've said this before previously that the digital set cameras, lights, etc.. (reportedly) can controlled by the anchor, so Aaron didn't need to be on the main set. They need to figure out these things because they're starting to look like amateurs. Edited November 8 by jase 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Often they are on the website, app, Facebook only and not on broadcast. They (L.A. car chases) often appear on San Diego tv Facebook, also, which I still don't understand.

On 11/7/2020 at 7:43 AM, Sendir said: Absolutely agree. Perry will play the long game even though he will make changes here and there the operating budget is not that big. They have facilities that are paid for, subscribers and advertisers. That’s why you see the anchors that are on there instead of someone for Shep. Not a chance. Revenues in Q4 are going to be abysmal post election in this Covid atmosphere. With the exception of their smaller market GA stations. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
