It's like their folks are just having fun with their old system before the switch maybe.

MY 53 (KMSG, Fresno) using unlicensed music?

The 2/1 newscast and weather report with "Sexual Eruption" in the background of the forecast is...wow... It feels like it would go well with the film Idiocracy. -
Here's a better look at WFIE's odd use of a bug in the left and right corners on some shots.
-
WFIE must be getting closer to switching to GrayOne. They tweaked their bug at right to swap between 3 things (main logo, app, and website) and made sure to remove the peacock from everything, and now they've added a SECOND bug during live shots so now it's on the left and right sides of the screen. And this is a different style chyron than they typically use, but same font.
-
WTVW/Evansville is owned by Mission and operated by Nexstar, so I've got like zero hopes of it showing up on YTTV.
-
WFIE needs some tweaking to the graphics they introduced last year. It seems like someone tries to customize something in-house incorrectly and you wind up seeing the font change from its default to Arial. Maybe they even need a new set or a new building. They have such a small building and the last set upgrade was just putting in a video wall but keeping a lot of what they had (wood grain finishes).
-
WAVE has been doing this for at least a year or more, except for Days of Our Lives.
-
WFIE is taking an interesting approach and using their new honeycomb graphics for 95% of news; for high school football coverage, they are using the WMC style lower thirds and colors.
-
Well, WFIE has finally ditched the old Raycom graphics and moved over to Gray graphics. They're still using old versions of their logo on the weather bug and time/temp bug; it would look better flat and possibly all white in a gray/black translucent background. Many of the new graphics focus solely on the 14 and ditch the NBC peacock. Apologies for the poor screengrabs.
-
Well… WFIE has upgraded the weather graphics, or should I say just the 7 day graphics. Lots of VR in the weather hits now.
-
I think WFIE is preparing to take the NBC logo out of their branding when they eventually flip. The new website banner lacks the peacock and their Roku graphics seem to lack the peacock in most places too.
-
Just noticed in YouTubeTV library that WFIE also has the honeycomb look. Just there though.
-
WFIE back in their main studio today with completed lighting upgrades. Video wall installed. Still on Raycom graphics for the most part.
-
Dan Katz is retiring from WFIE after 27 years anchoring "Sunrise." Tanner Holbrook will move to weekday mornings. https://www.facebook.com/dan.katz.7739/posts/428571045520225
-
Yes, WSAZ. I'm seeing elements of both packages is what's weird.
-
WFIE has moved to a new set and is teasing improvements with a "lighting upgrade" in the studio, but more so in terms of graphics, they have updated the Gray ticker to more frequent use and some of their in-house commercials look to be featuring some of the elements that KFVS, WSAV, and WXIX have in their new graphics. Only time will tell...

WEHT/WTVW pushing it on FB Live. https://fb.watch/6bn7FgGiVf/

Might be a glitch in preparing to possibly launch new graphics, but WFIE has had this extra time/temp on the lower right corner of the screen at the start of their 10:00 news tonight. Disappeared after the first break when the Gray weather ticker appeared. Source: smartphone camera on OTA signal

WEHT/WTVW still use TriStateHomePage.com as their awful address, but it's not the worst I've seen. I also don't understand why they toss to reporters like this: "Eyewitness News' John Doe has the story." instead of "Eyewitness News reporter John Doe has the story." It sounds wrong when they say it that way, even if the possessive (s') is there in writing. And another dumb thing for WEHT/WTVW... their top-hour ID on their Eyewitness News shows on WTVW shows the WEHT station-ID. I mentioned this to them almost two years ago and it's never changed.
-
WFIE's bug fades between the main logo for 14 NEWS, the Amazon Fire TV app, Apple TV app, and Roku TV app. I think WAVE's does too.
-
WFIE's old "14Production" unit still posts a lot of their video they end up porting to Facebook on Vimeo. They posted this recently. I have to wonder if they won't do any graphics upgrades until they do this renovation/installation:
-
I saw this today at noon and it's making me think they're just going to hold off until they do any construction to build a new set. The set is at least ten years old except for some updated duratrans and weather branding. They are using some of the AR features that the already upgraded stations are using during weather. WFIE is just "landlocked" in an aging building.
-
As of tonight, WFIE is still operating on the Raycom graphics and this promo is only still on Vimeo. Hasn't appeared to run on TV or on their social sites.
-
Looks like WFIE is getting ready to switch based on this new promo on their Vimeo page...plus another newscast...
-
I'd like to see these deployed by more Nexstar stations. WEHT/WTVW would look good with the KOIN graphics.
