Surprised no one posted this: CBSLosAngeles.com, the combined website for KCBS-2, KCAL-9, KNX NewsRadio 1070 and KFWB News/Talk 980, made its debut. I don't know when it debuted.
KYW JUST launched their new graphics as of the 4pm newscast.
It's an improvement except for one thing... the frigging music. I think they kept their old cuts of enforcer.
EDIT: There are some MAJOR issues with the graphics on this installation. It doesn't look like they moved to a Viz hardware setup with this. Many of the lower third animations here just aren't present... [Read More]

I thought I'd hate this look on KD, but it really is a drastic improvement. They did finally switch to Enforcer, which was kind of unexpected. KDKA has also dropped the white outlines from it's logo.
Much more to come, I hope to have HD caps up by 5:00 tonight.
Milwaukee's WISN-TV, in partnership with Milwaukee Public Television and Marquette University, teamed up this evening to present a first of it's kind event which aired on 5 "affiliate" stations around the state (as well as locally on both WISN and WMVS). The event took small groups of citizens at each of the affiliate stations, as well as viewer questions from the internet, and fused them together to create a virtual "town hall"-style debate featuring the state's two Republican gubernatorial candidates and WISN's Mike Gousha (Who, while at WTMJ, anchored a 2004 presidential debate that aired nationwide).
Milwaukee's FOX affiliate WITI has posted a video on Youtube from "behind the scenes" of the promo shoot for their new morning program "Real Milwaukee".

As of today, people without an account on TVNT will be allowed to post moderated replies to topics in the "Front Page News" section of the site. We hope that in the long run this will encourage more users to register with us and join in discussions on other parts of the site.
Phoenix ABC affiliate KNXV is gearing up to launch a new morning program called "Now@9" that will feature "a cross between news, buzz and social media". In a promotion uploaded to Youtube, the show's anchors are seen discussing what to talk about while checking the station's Facebook and Twitter pages on iPads. The show is set to debut on August 30th.
Much like it's sister network FOX News Channel, FOX Sports has recently begun producing programming using the full 16:9 screen and letterboxing the program on 4:3 SD feeds.
FOX began doing this on MLB on FOX programming a few weeks back, and has also begun doing it on NFL on FOX programming as of tonight with the debut of a new graphics package.
