KIFI Local News 8 In The Morning Open & Promos, 10/21/2021

JOIN BROADCAST PLAZA TODAY, DISCORD'S MEDIA DISCUSSION COMMUNITY — http://bit.ly/S31MA 5am news open, bump-out to break, promos, and weather open taken from the Thursday, October 21, 2021 edition of the morning newscast on News-Press & Gazette's ABC affiliate in Idaho Falls/Pocatello, Idaho-Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Earlier in the month, KIFI debuted a new set (from Devlin Design Group), updated graphics (same package that sister station KVIA ditched earlier in the year in favor of whatever garbage they have now), new music ("Stream" from Stephen Arnold Music, which debuted on WHBQ Memphis last month then on WFXT Boston earlier this month), and a voiceover switchout (from Marc Preston to Aaron Bradley). The fact KIFI uses the music in a market where Cox owns a station squashes the original rumor that this was intended to be Cox's new group music. KIFI leads the market and NPG has every affiliation in the market except for NBC (on KPVI), thus giving them a near-monopoly in the area. The CBS affiliate had been KIDK until January 1st when it was moved to KIFI's 8.2 channel in order to put the programming stream under NPG's control legally. KIDK is now being wasted on Dabl full-time and the public would be better served turning off the transmitter if you ask me, but I digress. The 8.2 channel has one original, live newscast weeknights at 5:30pm branded as "Eyewitness News 3". The Eyewitness News 3 brand is also used on the 9pm newscast on low power Fox affiliate KXPI. That 9pm newscast is also reaired at 10pm on the CBS stream. The graphics/music/voiceover artist are the exact same on Eyewitness News 3 as on Local News 8. Anchored by Dylan Carder and Emma Benson. The very offbeat (for lack of a better term) Jeff Roper forecasts weather. ©2021 News-Press & Gazette Company and KIFI-TV, no copyright infringement intended.
