Yankees4life 461 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) What in the blue hell, WLTF? This is a bad knockoff of the O&Os graphics Edited March 15, 2021 by 24994J Corrected the call letters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JosephH1998 20 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 It seems like the 1998 KLAX graphics is a knockoff on the Hearst-Argyle camera mandate (Hearst is the second largest owner of ABC stations behind Allbritton). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveKendall 29 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Is WDTV pining to be an ABC affiliate? It's still better than the WEWS logo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially how the top of the "5" overlaps the circle. Is Morgantown still part of the Pittsburgh market? I'm sure that's an area the Clarksburg/Fairmont/Weston stations want to themselves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tw-804 183 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Along with their new logo, they're using the blue-and-white version of WTVY's graphics just like WHSV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Payton39 23 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Yeah, that's an oddly specific description of their area. Also, I feel like the strokeweight of the Circle 5 logo is different at 0:10 and 0:36. Maybe my eyes fail me, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froyo49 177 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 For some reason, I'm getting low-rent WSVN vibes. The overly edited headline tease, the gaudy 3D animations, the presenters introducing themselves before the main title sequence, the guy pointing at the camera (that's how you know he's serious), and even the "news station" branding and circle logo. I may just be overthinking it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may just be overthinking it though. Agreed. Too much gratuitous use of 3D. Without the cheesy transitions and that logo, it may look halfway decent. Some small markets just need to act their size and not look more out of place by ripping off a look and feel that is NOT anything close to what could pass off as something original and more authentic to the area.

Duc4TVNewsTalk 47 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 WESH's "NewsCenter 2" graphics in the 1970s were a knockoff of the O&O graphics used by WNBC in New York, WMAQ in Chicago and WRC in Washington, D.C., despite in all fact, being that it was not an O&O.

KnoxvilleTVFan 284 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 (edited) I am bumping this thread, because I want to mention something I came across. WVLT-TV in Knoxville, back in 2001, used what may be a knock-off of the Hearst-Argyle station graphics package. You can view the WVLT open at 37:09.

Basically using another package and trying to localilze it, with bad results. WTRF used this package too. I'd post the video from YouTube, but it appears to have been taken down. Their opens looked good but they had one that was clearly "keyed over" like these. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
