groupwfan 95 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Leave DIN for GANNETT's NBC stations, Gotham for their CBS stations (Could work for WWL.), and just about any font for their ABC stations for the GFX's L3s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.L. Hughes 742 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 What's "DIN"? It's a variant name of the typeface used in Gannett's graphics, as well as Sinclair's new graphics package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty Muck 4139 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 It's a variant name of the typeface used in Gannett's graphics, as well as Sinclair's new graphics package. It was also used for NBC's Look C graphics. Dinot is one of the variants that is available on a commercial scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I thought Gannett's was more Bell Gothic. DIN is meh to me. Look C graphics were nice, the font really was an eyesore IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLTNewsWatch 4 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I'm hearing that WCNC will debut the new website within the next two weeks. Gannett graphics will debut July 16th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven 1944 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I'm hearing that WCNC will debut the new website within the next two weeks. Gannett graphics will debut July 16th. That's yet another Wednesday launch, like KING 5 & WWL. Glad they'd implemented the HD broadcast tonight, prior to Thursday's start of sweeps.

channel2 869 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 The version of DIN that is the most common, and the one I think Gannett uses, is FF DIN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cacLA8383 1 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Normal close taken from tonight's 10pm newscast. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5fZ8Ly_-Z8 (I think the cut most of y'all prefer is used in the social media plug here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if they use the close regularly on 10pm or they use their "normal close", like the other shows. And when did WWL started to use the new Gannett tag at the end?

amtrak8 5 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 All of the BELO stations I have seen started using the Gannett tags on Dec 23 or 24, 2013. Day of the sale approval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The day of the sale's approval was December 20. The sale's consummation was the 23rd. I haven't seen WWL using the new tags until of what I saw on the vid last night. I knew KING 5/NWCN started using it immediately after, and some of the legacy (pre-Belo) Deathstar station, also went with the design. I'm not sure if you saw WWL's but this was the first time I've seen it on WWL, since the deal was closed six months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightynine 286 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 It's very rare for WWL to air that tag directly after the newscast. It's usually dumped somewhere in the following commercial break, sometimes in the one before the final segment. But it's been there since day one of Gannett taking over. I think the Belo tag jumped around too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLTNewsWatch 4 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Did WCNC get a new news set? Or am I seeing things? They didn't, they've had this set since 2012. If you were watching the 11pm newscast, it could look different. They changed the format so they just stand in front of the TV screen, rather than sit at the desk. But still the same set.

amtrak8 5 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 WHAS 11 is next, starting tomorrow at noon. Gannett graphics and music, no word on website yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven 1944 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 WHAS 11 is next, starting tomorrow at noon. Gannett graphics and music, no word on website yet. Bye-Bye Newschannel. But they'll have much needed new graphics. So that would be a plus. Plus since this is a Sander station, so it is safe to say that KGW will get it too. .....ANNNDDD, since this is the third consecutive week that a Belo station have the new G3 gfx and WCNC will implement the new digs on the 16th, who's going to get it on the 9th?

WXmanTim 88 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Im actually looking forward to these debuting on KHOU. I've disliked the hothaus look since it debuted. The only thing I liked about the entire look was the weather graphics. One of the big things that bothered me about the look was the OTS, live and secondary bug elements were set outside the SD safe zone. Not everyone has an HDTV nor does everyone pay Comcast for an HD box. In my opinion they were a big downgrade from the package that debuted with "KHOU Stands for Houston" image campaign. What's interesting is the Gannett package is very similar to KHOU's previous graphics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
channel2 869 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 The current KHOU look is by Hothaus? I thought it was Giant Octopus, but upon closer inspection some of the lighting smacks of Hothaus work. Despite what I said about liking the current Gannett look, I don't actually mind Hothaus or GO stuff that much and even like some of it; it's too bad Hothaus got saddled with KHOU's ultra-tacky logo. Hoping that'll change (though, oddly, it smacks of updated 1980-90s Gannett sensibilities, as per the looks of WXIA, KARE, and KUSA) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike91 66 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I wonder if WHAS will be going HD with the graphics launch. Also, if the trend of one launch a week on Wednesdays continues, all the Belo stations will have the graphics by August 27th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amtrak8 5 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 KTVB is running a tease during their newscasts about a change on July 16th as well, not sure if it's the website or the graphics yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
