Talk:KOMO-TV

message: An anon user has added several claims for firsts and awards for KOMO to the article. I gotta say, without seeing some sources being cited for those claims, that I'm somewhat skeptical of them. 
Some of the firsts being mentioned are also ambiguous. Were they the first to do it in Seattle-Tacoma? The Northwest? The country? Also, I do know that KOMO's been claiming its newscasts as being rated "the best in America", but I forget who it was that did the rating.
Perhaps the anon user (or someone else) would be kind enough to provide some sources for those claims in the article?

replies: text: This is probably about a year late, but I was the one who'd added those "Broadcasting firsts" portion of the KOMO TV Wikipedia entry. When I was young, I'd done a project on the history of KOMO TV and decided to write to KOMO TV for as much information as possible. They were more than happy to oblige, and sent me tons of old station memorabilia in addition to several dozen newspaper clippings citing the new innovations KOMO has led the industry with. Many of those newspaper and article clippings came from sources like the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Seattle Times, and several broadcast trade publications of that time.

thread_title: 2005 unsourced claims

message: I've heard that KOMO says that they're changing the 5pm newscast to 30 minutes, moving ABC's World News with Charles Gibson to 5:30 pm, and put a 6pm newscast (for a full hour). They're confirmed as of now, and I seen a promotional campaign that they're changing the structure. They're not going to change the "First News at 4" scheduling. I think they're going competitive against KIRO-TV, which was the first station to broadcast a newscast at 6pm, with its slogan named "The Only Local News and Weather at 6". But with KOMO-TV changing its evening news structure, I think KIRO-TV should remove its current slogan because of KOMO-TV's 6pm newscast entry.
This was their previously evening news format had:
*4:00 pm: First News at 4
*5:00 pm: KOMO 4 News at 5pm
*6:00 pm: World News with Charles Gibson (previously World News Tonight)
*6:30 pm: KOMO 4 News at 6:30pm
This is the new scheduling as of now: (changes in red)
*4:00 pm: First News at 4
*5:00 pm: KOMO 4 News at 5pm (shortened to 30 minutes for a quick rundown)
*5:30 pm: World News with Charles Gibson (new time)
*6:00 pm: KOMO 4 News at 6pm (new: moved the second half of current KOMO 4 News at 5pm to 6:00 pm; to be competitive with KIRO 7 Eyewitness News at 6)
Source:  - Note that these schedules may be subject to change without notice; however, KOMO 4 might not change its new format as of now. --Bigtop 19:19, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Update: KIRO-TV removed the "Only Local News and Weather at 6" slogan recently; found evidence (yesterday) by having the introduction a shared 6am/6pm ident. --Bigtop 00:12, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Update: KOMO-TV says that they will make the big changes as of August 14, 2006. I think this will be a more competitive format. --Bigtop 18:58, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I've been thinking of a newer logo because of the new appearance released today. Could you try to look it up at various sources, like http://www.komotv.com? Thanks. Bigtop 02:41, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Is it possible to create a Wikipedia Commons entry to KOMO TV? I have LOADS of available logos from their past, as well as images of their previous sets, etc. With that said, I would like to expand on the "logos" portion as well.Srosenow 98 05:40, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  New image 

message: The following statement should at least be sourced and probably deleted: "After being purchased by Fisher Broadcasting, KOMO News began demonstrating a noticeably more conservative and sensationalistic bent to their news." 71.142.91.222 03:49, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I deleted it outright. KOMO has always been a Fisher station - even before KOMO TV was a forethought. Whoever added that (and the nonsensical, full of dribble babble about Natasha Curry) should be IP blocked from Wikipedia for good. Srosenow 98 07:56, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Violate NPOV? 

message: I'm still confused about this. Everything I've heard indicates that KOMO's local newscasts are only 16x9 SD, not HD. Sure, they may be on the digital channel, but they're still SD. See page 3: NATASNW Monitor May 2007.

replies: text: I'm pretty sure that their newscasts are not in HD, I do believe the only station in Seattle with HD newscasts is KING. --Emarsee (Talk • Contribs) 16:42, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

text: There are too many conflicting arguments on that for me to believe the newscasts are truly in HD. I think that article has some incorrect information in, confusing a digital signal broadcasting HD video and newscasts themselves being in HD. Unfortunately, I don't have an HD set to verify for sure, but I'd like to hear from someone who DOES.  - Joshuadkelley (talk) 06:28, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

message: As of now, no details have yet been released on the possible cause of the helicopter crash that took the lives of two KOMO-TV staffers.  Watch the NTSB monthly listing for March 2014 for the preliminary accident report. — QuicksilverT @ 21:02, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
