Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't Gray TV own a partial stake in "Sarkes Tarzian, Inc.". I know it's not controlling, but still. Very interesting. 

If the play button was replaced with a different motif (I'd say NBC peacock) then this new package would be perfect for the ex-Quincy stations!

Based on their livestream at local3news.com, they've also switched music packages to Inergy.

Just as most broadcasters are dropping Inergy. I think Guardian/production music would've fit much better.

Still, I think WRCB was (unless I'm forgetting one, don't shoot) the last one to really use Doc Morgan religiously in opens and promos. He was their main voice for like 30 years, I really do not agree with the direction on dumping him since Doc still sounds damn good.

Actually, Griffin Communications still uses Doc as the voice for KWTV and KOTV. I know KWTV hasn’t used anyone else to voice promos since they started contracting him c. 1995, and he’s been doing work for KOTV since the late 1980s when it was still owned by Belo.

 

As far as WRCB dropping “Eyewitness News”, I think this leaves WBRE and KOB as the last NBC stations to use that moniker, right?

Ruth Dial was another part.

 

Ruth signed a contract to rebuild GO, but has since left. They are not doing well.  Except for one package that Ruth designed while she was on contract 5 years ago, GO hasn't seen any new work or clients. In fact, check the copyright date of the website.

Lastly, this was designed by Hothaus.

Really? Didn't GO recently design new graphics for KTBS, KRGV, and create the updates to WRAL? I also could have sworn Ruth Dial came back.

Jesus my brain, how could I forget the Griffin stations? Forgive me.

KTBS graphics were originally intended for WPVI. Yes, Ruth worked on those for FX Group/GO. FX only recently got around to licensing them out to KTBS

The KRGV graphics were created independently with her own company, Design Hub: https://designhub.tv/project#krgv

 

The WRAL graphics were created by freelancer Michael Listerhttps://vimeo.com/492138594
