That logo doesn't even match the one they use every where else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb542 13 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 How long have these graphics have been used for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrknowitall526 107 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Close to 5 years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrknowitall526 107 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 The new weather graphics have a "retro" yet fresh look to them. I don't think "retro" is the best word, but at first I thought they were a step backwards, especially the italic caps on the yellow background with the plain-ish font, but I like what they are doing with the 2nd line of the title in radar loops, etc. The new 7-day forecast looks really clean. I like that they highlight the weekends in the same yellow color, and they also appear to be highlighting "big events" in red, with Friday & Saturday having a red highlight. I would be pleased if new L3's mimicked the weather ... "upper thirds" ... if that's a phrase? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5262 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I would be pleased if new L3's mimicked the weather ... "upper thirds" ... if that's a phrase? I've used the term. Run with it. As for the graphics, and whether or not they're signaling something new, I'm a little surprised they're not using Gotham, as that's becoming the go-to for ABC, showing up on KABC, KTRK, and the network.

But they've never really done anything else the "others" have done IMO. They have basically used the same font on-air for several decades, just changing it a bit here and there when necessary. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewsJersey1 2 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Congratulations to all of the stations for great coverage during the storm. 3, 6 and 10 all had strong points. Aside from the ratings, who stood out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrknowitall526 107 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Adam & Cecily have been doing live behind the scenes videos on Facebook. Just watched one now. It was really cool! Cecily did it from her page but Chris Sowers (who is working during the week????) took over for a bit and actually showed Cecily and Adam on the video feed while they were live on the air! Neat concept! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neat concept! He's also the weather producer so he's probably driving graphics behind the scenes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5262 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I have a feeling corporate is pushing the Facebook live streams, as I've noticed various personalities at WABC and WLS doing this over the last few weeks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TVNewsLover 712 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Rick is actually filling in for Jim Gardner who's on vacation. That was the second half of last week. Jim was on yesterday. Rick was off yesterday. And Monica said Rick and Sarah are off. They usually say "Rick will be along later" if he's just off for the noon newscast.

PAnderson1 27 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 StormTracker6 and The Traffic Maps both have new looks. Maybe a hint of new graphics coming? I couldn't get a pic of the traffic maps in time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5262 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Is this animation on the Big Board new? It looks a little like something that would come out of the current graphics, but I don't ever recall seeing that flatter circle theme with little boxes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big board animation has been there since last year. I don't think it's a sign of anything though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Newsroom 1138 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 [ATTACH=full]2886[/ATTACH] What is that? That looks much more at home on Fox 29. The last logo looks and works much better to promote/use it. (Although I kinda do like the font used.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so; I'm starting to dislike the current set. And despise the L3s. I just hope this next package will be better. We don't want another disaster with an ABC O&Os new graphics after what happened with WABC. I'm still recovering. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
