  1. No it can’t, if they are all doing it that suggests it’s hubbed. Now that I think about it I seem to recall their Fresno station having some hub operations though I can’t remember what for...
  2. Not bad... Are the master controls hubbed these days?
  3. It’s a pretty good effect, as for the Amtrak thing I had a similar thought about the logo on a subway car.. neat Easter egg though would they have to pay a royalty to use the logo?
  4. What are we product placing for Amtrak now?
  5. Isn’t WCPO supposed to be a major station? Happened to run into this video and I don’t have words to describe how bad this live shot went... https://www.wcpo.com/news/local-news/hamilton-county/cincinnati/riverside/pd-train-derailment-closes-river-road Im not sure if I should feel sorry for the reporter or what... but what she’s saying is unintelligible...
  6. This is the shortened version... a couple bubbles appear and you get the idea... my normal equipment is out of service at the moment so this will have to do.
  7. Saw a new weather promo on WXYZ last night... the quotes about “what will the roads be like in the morning?” Etc are using these new bubbles... it looks ridiculous... still no new graphics but that certainly goes with the new theme...
  8. There’s something to be said for a newsroom right behind the anchor instead... I missed a call from the 90’s and they may be trying to get me back though...
  9. No... it fits the style of their newscasts...
  10. That KABC lower third doesn’t need the arrest and victims condition to both be on it. That’s a station issue not really a graphic issue. Somebody doesn’t know how to work within space limitations.
  11. From the nice touch department... WXYZ has started using the traditional “Good evening I’m”... across all of its newscasts when there isn’t breaking news leading off... its been almost 10 years since they used this style of open consistently. They’ve started doubling down on hard news so this may be connected to that.
  12. As for the fading in the background... they’ve all had that effect for this package... it’s definitely a YMMV situation... the 25 logo looks better than the lousy WFTS logo faded in the background. A circle 5 or 7 will look pretty good faded in the background. I would add that some logo redesigns or new versions are forthcoming for everybody given the new bugs at the very least. For example I already know WXYZ is ditching the fat silver circle 7 logo they’ve been using since they got the Renderon package during the newscasts if not entirely in favor of a more traditional thin logo. I wouldn’t necessarily think anybody will debut some other new logo that isn’t just a reimagining of what they have already. So what are they doing for promos and station imaging?
  13. I’m gonna take the opposite side of that... the part before the signature sounds like news music... the signature sounds like it belongs on a lifestyle magazine show... I actually am appreciating the fast paced cut of Inergy more and more... I’m very underwhelmed with the music... that particular cut will absolutely not work in Detroit... it’s like a square peg in a round hole for the style of newscast they do here...
  14. Have we even heard any more than that one excruciatingly slow cut?
  15. I’m praying this is sarcasm...
  16. I wonder if they will rebrand WXYZ’s? They’ve used the same name since the O&O days... I rather doubt it though they are using the GMA-esque logo with the swoosh under it... Did they fix the bug without a background? In the weather shots it’s in a black box. Was that just for weather?
  17. Their logo ghosted in the background like that looks like hell...
  18. I wonder if some of the larger creative services departments could handle taking a skeleton of the new package and modifying it for their own purposes? If the graphics hub is overwhelmed it might help balance things...
  19. It could also be that party affiliations are germane to Republicans because they tend to abuse their offices more. Democrats get more sex scandals and other out of office criminal stuff... party affiliation doesn’t amount to a hill of beans regarding who’s wife you are boning. It does matter if you gave sweetheart deals to 5 of your best buddies in exchange for campaign contributions. This bias against conservatives canard is all in your head. Katie Hill just resigned for a sex scandal and her Democratic affiliation was the first thing or nearly the first thing mentioned. Next thing will be that they only mentioned her party to save face for not mentioning it all those other times. If Conservatives feel like making things work better then they can come to the table and have a voice. Constantly whining and playing the victim and wanting nothing to happen and reading the same junk over and over about how bad they have it is really getting old. Being dragged into oblivion because 40% of the country is a supposedly persecuted conservative isn’t very much fun and as their lives continue to deteriorate for lack of investment or progress I hope they’ll use their last pennies on a mirror when they ask why it’s this way.
  20. You really haven’t been able to say much of anything besides bash things... I just did everything when looking at this carefully including stand on my head and I still can’t figure out what sort of irony you could possibly mean... As to the graphic.. I kind of like that shade of blue. Design wise it’s about what one would expect. Notice that doesn’t have the text message tab on top of the graphic.. it’s just a box and it looks good that way.
  21. I think it’s a definite that some version of these will be rolled out everywhere else. Each station will apply them slightly differently of course so your mileage may vary as far as the end result goes. Even now with the current graphics there is a definite difference in how the current package has been applied, some stations don’t have or use all the graphics, some have custom graphics for certain things etc. I can’t see any reason why that would change drastically.
  22. So the same color scheme they have now...
  23. The question is what the law says in that particular jurisdiction. Is audio recording treated the same way as video recording and neither is permitted? Or did the judge just go rogue and decide that he has special rules? They reference other stations and in those states or jurisdictions there may not be bans on audio and video recordings. I kind of wonder how the judge figured out she was recording. If it’s the latter explanation I would imagine your odds of appealing and overturning are better. That sounds quite extreme though. If on the other hand he told her to knock it off and she kept going then she’d get what was coming to her though. In this case it appears both audio and video are not permitted. I think this is one of those things that depends on the state. Here in Michigan for example both are just fine and we get the whole show. At the federal level neither is allowed if I’m not mistaken and that single handedly keeps sketch artists employed.
  24. Cuba I get, are there sizable Haitian and Venezuelan populations in Miami?
