FOX6now.com goes Wordpress

Yesterday, 07:23 PM

Posted by Weeters in Front Page News
Milwaukee's FOX station WITI recently rolled out a new Wordpress-powered website, replacing the standard Tribune Interactive site that all other Local TV, LLC stations have.

The new site takes on a blue, red, and black/grey theme, more in line with their logo than the former red and white color scheme used on the previous Tribune Interactive site.

During the move, it seems that some content was removed from the site. After being generally neglected after anchors stopped participating in live chats, it appears the "SpyFOX" studio webcams have been permanently removed. Senior Web Producer Cary Docter replied to one users inquiry about the webcams with "at this time, the studio cams are not expected back." WITI was one of the pioneers of the Studio Cam, with many other FOX O&O's eventually using WITI's page template on their own site. Many of those webcams have since gone offline as well.

Prior to this change, WITI's morning talk show "Real Milwaukee" had been beta testing it's own Wordpress-powered site for a number of months. It recently was moved out of beta itself.

KTVU Fox 2 new set

Yesterday, 06:13 PM

Posted by News24/7 in Front Page News
KTVU posted this on their facebook page saying it will debut on Saturday the 28th on the 10pm-er
Looks like they finally got a full new set as opposed to the tweaking they've done since like.. 1993? It reminds me of KPIX's old set. IMO a bit dark for modern times, but KTVU is the traditional newscast connoisseur. It also appears that they perhaps might get a tweaked version of their graphics package.

New Graphics @GMA

16 Jan 2012

Posted by 24994J in Front Page News
With little fanfare, Good Morning America has launched an all-new graphics package and theme song. Gone are all the angles and trapezoids of the last look, replaced by thick, "swoopy" bars that bear intentional resemblance to the news ticker facade of their Times Square Studio. The bright blue, yellow and white theme is virtually gone (save for the ticker-like lower thirds), traded in for rich red, orange and gold.

First Impressions: I guess the package is nice, but it seems like it's missing refinement, especially in the lower thirds that swoop (there's that word again) in from the left but abruptly end on the right side of the screen, similar to the '05-06 graphics. Also new is the theme song. It sounds similar to the election theme, but very bland and generic. It is very disappointing if any of you were a fan of the last theme...which I was.

Overall, the new look is big and flashy (if not, clunky and cheesy), yet it somehow manages to be very "ho-hum". The last package may have lacked character, but they were elegant, simple and fresh...I don't know what you'd call this hodge-podge.

Update: Here's the screenshots...
