NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Just while watching, I was shocked to see new graphics. I thought they would stay the same as the old graphics just to be different, but I guess not. I have to say, they are not bad. I guess KCAL will be getting these soon as well. The graphics are fairly similar to CBS2. They have brand new opens and an updated logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlNYTVRadio 21 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I am watching, and yeah, the same L3's, and there is a little more yellow for the side portion. Will record the 9:30 open! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Is the music different? Nope, same exact version of image news, with the same voiceover (Roger Rose). Just new graphics. Also, I'm pretty sure the logo is slightly different. But that's all I notice right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlNYTVRadio 21 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 The music is the same Image News, same V/O cut, except the music is extended to fit the graphics. A little more yellow to them, like the last ones had. Here's the video: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little more yellow to them, like the last ones had. Here's the video: Its a good music package but I don't like the pause before the anchor starts speaking because the graphics are longer than the V/O. I think they either need to extend the V/O or shorten the open graphic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 I agree that it is too long of a pause. I also just noticed it says "WLNY-TV New York" instead of "WLNY-TV Riverhead" like the old open said. This actually makes sense, because they broadcast out of new york city, show a nyc skyline behind the anchor desk, etc. Also, I guess it's the end of Arial for NY!

Geoffrey 779 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 They're WLNY-TV New York now? Edit: Didn't see the above post before I responded. But to respond to "new york meteorologist," the city name is supposed to be where the transmitter is located, not where the studio is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their transmitter is in Middle Island. Riverhead is the station's over-the-air city of license. They have to show the callsign/COL, or the FCC will give them a mouthful.

Jess 1110 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Yeah, that's an illegal ID. New York isn't their city of license. They could get away with WLNY-TV RIVERHEAD - NEW YORK or something like that, but not just New York. And it really hurts their case that "Long Island is separate from New York", which is the argument they're using to be over the TV/radio station cap.

C Block 1487 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Can't they just run a five second legal ID saying "WLNY-TV Riverhead" right before the open? The text in the open works out nicely when it functions as the legal ID as well, but there are a few CBS/CW stations that don't have their full legal ID there, either. I don't see how this would be an issue, other than that it's more proof of WLNY continuing to distance itself as far away from Long Island as possible.

StudioTech 13 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 The station runs the real ID only at the top of every hour. On screen, it shows "WLNY TV 10/55 RIVERHEAD" with the WLNY logo right above it with the V/O "You're watching WNLY TV 10/55" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to show the callsign/COL, or the FCC will give them a mouthful. Thank you for the clarification on that... Looks like they modified the disc to match KCAL's font. Looks weird, though. WLNY's logo is different with the taller text in full screen graphics such as the open and "breaking news" animation but they forgot to change it for the new bug. By the way, the bug for the first block tonight was the new one but without the website/Twitter/Facebook. They used the old bug for the second block. And now they're using the full new one.

NYNewser_676 26 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Before the 9pm newscast, WLNY ran the 10 second station ID, identifying it as being licensed to Riverhead. Then the open ran, still says WLNY New York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanewsguy 509 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I've gotta be the only who noticed this in their open (5 seconds in): A blue daytime sky at nine at night? I wonder if any of the other CBS O&Os who have these graphics also have that issue in their night time open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abric 157 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Yes they do. But just a few The evening opens start at 2:00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 After coming back from the first break, WLNY news at 9 had some very wierd transition. They basically played the open (half of it) without the music. It was very wierd and an abnormally long transiton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABC 7 Denver 1552 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I've gotta be the only who noticed this in their open (5 seconds in): A blue daytime sky at nine at night? I wonder if any of the other CBS O&Os who have these graphics also have that issue in their night time open. EDIT: I've noticed this often. Not only that, but the daytime sky is from WCBS variation and occasionally the evening sky from the WCBS variation too. I see the WCBS variation sky in Dallas, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Denver, Los Angeles, Boston and it irks me! The designer have no idea what they're doing. It's irritating.
