Rodney Heard’s Facebook video after Colts players kneel during national anthem
A local Colts fan decided to burn his season tickets after watching the team’s players kneel during the national anthem. The fan, who served in the U.S. Marine Corps, said that he would not tolerate the Colts’ protest. Originally, he thought of selling the tickets but later decided to burn them instead. His video has gone viral on Facebook, where more than 1 million people have watched it. Almost 3,000 people have shared it. The majority of commenters support his decision.
While Heard does not support the Colts players’ protest, he does support the flag and the people who have died in service to it. While many fans have disapproved of Heard’s use of profanity and his stance on free speech, many others are supporting the players and are not renewing their season tickets. Others are worried that the players will be fired.
While some NFL teams chose to stay off the field during the national anthem during the Week 2 pregame, others were caught off guard when they came out of the locker room when the song started. Other teams that did not appear on the field during the anthem include the Green Bay Packers, Philadelphia Eagles, and New York Jets.
Increased local newscast output
Fox News Indianapolis has increased the amount of local newscast output, according to the local government. The station now airs 55 hours of local news each week, including nine hours of weekday newscasts and five hours on the weekends. In the past, WXIN had the largest local newscast output in the Indianapolis market. In January 2010, WXIN dropped its 11:00 a.m. newscast in favor of an hour-long edition of its weekday morning newscast.
The ratings survey showed a slight increase in local newscast output from the same period a year ago. In February, WTHR-13’s morning newscasts enjoyed a comfortable margin of victory, beating the ratings of WISH-8 and WTTV-4. WRTV-6 was the winner of prime time with a 3.46 rating. In addition, its newscasts ranked fourth at 6 a.m., sixth at 6 p.m. and third at 11 p.m., according to Nielsen Co. Each Nielsen rating is based on approximately 11,000 homes.
In addition to the increase in local newscast output, WISH has also increased its local programming. The local station has added 77 hours of programming to its schedule since January. In addition, the station has also added a web page that provides a comprehensive look at the area’s crime patterns. WISH has also expanded its local newscast output by four hours each weekday.
Changes to the station’s logo
Before its April 5, 1987, primetime lineup debut, Fox News Indianapolis’ logo sported a similar font to the network’s parent company, 20th Century Fox. The logo was also smaller, and its searchlights were positioned closer to the edge of the logotype. The network’s current proprietary logotype debuted a few years later. In 1994, the logo was modified again, with the text shrinking and searchlights moving closer to the edge of the rectangle. In 1995-96, the searchlights were removed, and the logotype had a third pane on top.
In August 2019, Fox implemented new branding elements designed by the firm Trollback + Company. This included a more abstract version of the wordmark, which was then incorporated into advertising and on-air branding elements. In addition to the logo change, Fox redesigned its graphics package and introduced a new font, modified Neue Plak. This logo replaced the split-screen credits of the previous logo.
