ABC 7 Denver 1552 Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 That's not a knockoff. That's the real package. They just don't have Gotham installed on their CG machines. WNEM is the real deal? No!! No it isn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennTV1983 742 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 That's NOT the real package. Looking at that now, the poorly-done transitional elements and animation are a dead giveaway of a mock-up compared to the original Linear Drift version. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidwestTV 1173 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 That's NOT the real package. It's 11p.m. Why does their open have daytime shots from the middle of the day? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABC 7 Denver 1552 Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 It's 11p.m. Why does their open have daytime shots from the middle of the day? Because the roll out isn't complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwestTV 1173 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Because the roll out isn't complete. And how hard is it to fly a drone or something to shoot footage at night? That seems like a lazy excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Info Junkie 1285 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I’m guessing WBOC used the KMTV/KRIS Giant Octopus package and later kept butchering it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 1844 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I’m guessing WBOC used the KMTV/KRIS Giant Octopus package and later kept butchering it... But for a market that size, WBOC makes it look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ntropolis 593 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 And how hard is it to fly a drone or something to shoot footage at night? That seems like a lazy excuse. Part 107 FAA regulations state you need a waiver to fly past 30 minutes of civil twilight (30 minutes past sunset). So it’s not crazy impossible, just a little tougher than doing some quick shots with a drone at night. You can always do a nighttime timelapse on the ground... that would look cool 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmaxhanson 650 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 It's 11p.m. Why does their open have daytime shots from the middle of the day? Who cares? I've seen tons of old late news opens that use daytime shots. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikePulse 315 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Who cares? I've seen tons of old late news opens that use daytime shots. WKMG uses their daytime shots for the weeknight talent opens. (Though they have proper nighttime shots for the weekends) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Info Junkie 1285 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 You know what I just realized?! WNEM’s 2014 opens are really a knockoff of WFSB’s! Add to that the awful Scripps L3’s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are derived from WRAL’s graphics that came out eons ago and eventually updated & used until 2016. I forget who did them...

MyNewsArchive 197 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Quick update about WNEM's graphics. They have recently ditch their "knockoff" gfx and switch to the CBS O&O GFX. It's a huge improvement than before . OLD: NEW 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHCH launched their graphics in 2014, long before Spectrum. Quick update about WNEM's graphics. They have recently ditch their "knockoff" gfx and switch to the CBS O&O GFX. It's a huge improvement than before . OLD: NEW Intro's like night and day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Info Junkie 1285 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 This isn’t really a bad open graphics-wise, but when you use the voice of tabloid TV news alongside a very mellow-sounding news theme, you get a very mis-matched news open. Hubbard would later make more bad choices for their TV stations’ imaging in the years to come: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.L. Hughes 746 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 A KSDK promo from 1997. Strange that what was then a Gannett station used a modified version of the Hearst "Camera" package, and a logo animation similar to what those stations used at that time in this promo. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
