qunewsguy 376 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 That knockoff is so close it almost makes me wonder if it's the actual graphics package. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game started with a fake newscast. Can you tell where their inspiration came from? FullSizeRender.MOV 17.62 MB · 10 downloads My word.

JosephH1998 23 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 WTEN's 2000 graphics were a direct ripoff of WJBK FOX2's look at the time (Given the fact that it was done by the graphics company, VDO): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankees4life 529 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 We got one from WMGT. Looks like a MG knockoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a year before Media General sold WDEF to Morris, who basically maintained the Media General style at the time, well into their transition into HD. That look at the time was originally done by VDO, and later brought in house by Media General, with some additions from other stations, mainly WFLA. Perhaps the look was done "in-house" by a former employee who left Media General? Edited October 21, 2023 by tyrannical bastard 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuaiRiverTonight 3 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Seems like that H and C Communications (Hobby family of Houston) really liked to borrow elements from Belo graphics during the late 1980s. All 'clear' examples of following are from the roughly same time frame. KPRC-TV Channel Two News 6p WESH NewsCenter 2 6p WTVF Eyewitness News 10p With possibly similar traces (panorama still of Des Moines skyline, then the anchors' personal shots) also present at KCCI's TV8 News back then. *Their lone holdout seems to be KVOA! For comparison: KHOU back then, when it was Houston's (genuine XD) Belo station 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
