    It definitely has the FOX O&O vibe, at least with the font.

     

    Once this package gets to the other markets (especially Pittsburgh and Charlotte) it will be a major improvement.  Both of those packages probably go all the way back to their launch in HD, which seems like an eternity.

    Yeah, with WPXI's current package (in use since 2015) being an evolution of the package from 2007.

  2. I just went to the Action News Jax website to watch the livestream, and yes indeed, they have the new graphics. The font looks like it is Calibre, which Portugal's public broadcaster RTP uses in the logos of its channels.

    looks like HLN is similcasting CNN This Mor ing's hurricane coverage today. Has HLN been doing this similcast regularly?

    Yes. Since they ended Morning Express on HLN, they’ve been simulcasting CNN This Morning.

  4. Can we get back to talking about the current ABC logo and the new O&O graphics package please? I swear we get carried away by the smallest things in these threads.

     

    All I can say about the new O&O package now that we've seen the full package on WLS is... I don't really like the look of the graphics. It's too cluttered for a (somewhat) simple package. Very few packages have successfully shown the 3D look with simple gradients (both the current CBS O&O look and NBC O&O look). The only thing I can give the look credit for is the time, temperature, and current weather conditions ticker in the opens.

    When the font is that small, lower case letters tend to be harder to read... 

    KDKA increased the size of the font on the ticker & time/temp so it would be easier to read.

     

    I also noticed that WCCO also has gotten the KOVR style ticker too.

    I like how the time and "Headlines" boxes very nearly line up with KPIX and CBS News Bay Area boxes.

     

    Seriously, why is CBS so sloppy with this look? I thought they delayed it to get it right.

    KPIX and KOVR have that type of ticker, whereas KDKA increased the font size on the default time, temp, and ticker.

    Looks like CNN is debuting their updated graphics (lower thirds) this morning. Pretty underwhelming in my opinion. Not really liking the rounded/bubble corner look or the gradients. Seems cartoonish. 

     

    The time has been moved to the left side of the ticker and show name to a tab above the L3.

    There is a red wipe used to animate them on or between changes.

    I do like the name supers. So far all names have been full size and not shared with a headline.

    There are some people on TVNT's UK counterpart that have been complaining that these new graphics are ugly and that the BBC could make something better. I personally don't mind the new graphics; they're clean and have some depth to them from the gradients.

    After KOVR switched to the new graphics, all of the CBS O&O stations are now using the new graphics and Dimensional by Antfood. The old graphics and the CBS Enforcer news music package by Gari has been retired.

    An end of a very long era. The CBS Enforcer has had a really good shelf life in terms of News music.

  9. The Pittsburgher in me is coming out saying: Can some of yinz stop complaining for once?

     

    Yes, WBBM pulling a WCBS isn't as exciting as exciting as them using call-letters would be. Just because the verbal branding hasn't changed doesn't mean the product itself is.

     

    And the mish-mash of the font for the 2's between the bug & website and the open is driving my graphic designer brain up a wall.

    They kept their old, dated look for far too long solely because of their longtime GM Jay Newman, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he refused to work with Dunn and Friend on much of anything. As soon as Newman retired, they got a new set and everything.

    The current GM of WJZ, Kathy Hostetter (former news director of KDKA), knows what she’s doing. And the former GM of WJZ (from 2017 until last year), Audra Swain knew what she was doing.
