Viper550 268 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Another NFL season means another month of kitschy local football broadcasts. So, how are your local teams handling things? Is KFMB still using that ancient mashup of ancient CBS graphics? Also, I know a lot of people are going to be curious about how Fox is going to adapt its new look into football; the scoreboard they had for those recent soccer friendlies actually looked pretty nice. Maybe they'll go with something like that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their graphics resemble those on NFL network. It's a halfway decent product for what its worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronQ 259 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 WSOC-TV is putting a simulcast of the Redskins vs Pats game via Comcast Sportsnet in D.C. And the graphics are obviously CSN graphics with the Redskins logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5269 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 The Chiefs are using the new CBS package, but with the wide team bars like is used for college football (though only 2/3 letter abbreviations are being used). There's also like a third bar in the row for a sponsor tag, so the whole thing stretches out of the safe area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhratbrat 423 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 KCTV KPIX WCBS WRC CSN KUSA (sorry for the big screen, used full screen to get the shot) KFMB (CBS San Diego) is still using their way old graphics package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PelicanGuy 117 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 WVUE is carrying the Saints game versus the Rams tonight while KTVI is carrying the game in Saint Louis. NFL Network is also carrying the game. My gut tells me the same graphics from last year will be used on WVUE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skbl17 188 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Man, Georgia Dome is empty tonight. Anyway, the Falcons are on WUPA this season...and they took the NFL on CBS package and only replaced the scoreboard logo and full-screen graphics with the CW69 logo. The transitions still use the NFL on CBS logo. I would say that it's because of WUPA's CBS ownership, but KPIX isn't using the same package, so... Also, I've been wondering what Randy Waters has been up to since I last saw him at WXIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Rubber 609 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 This is absolutely unacceptable how messed up WFLD's video of the Bears game is. The whole video is pixelated and jumping around like crazy, and it's been this way for the past 10 minutes or so, and it shows no signs of improving. Who is responsible for putting this production together? Is it WFLD, or is it an outside company? Whoever it is, it's totally unacceptable. The video is completely unwatchable, and it shows no signs of improving, nor has there been any apology from the announcers. I've never been a fan of the production of the Bears preseason games, but this is a new low for this group. EDIT: They finally fixed it 15 minutes later after most of the first quarter was completely unwatchable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkolsen 1675 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 The Ravens broadcast locally through WBAL, Comcast SportsNet MidAtlantic used the the NBC Sports graphics. I asked a producer who produced the games broadcast feed and they said it was the Ravens themselves. The only reason why I asked for clarification was that both WBAL and CSN used the Ravens play by play announcers who normally are sportscasters for WBAL-AM/TV. WBAL-AM/TV Sports Director Gerry Sandusky was doing play by play for the stadium, WBAL-AM, WIYY-FM, WBAL-TV, Comcast SportsNet, WJLA and WHTM. The game was also simulcast on Sinclairs newly acquired WJLA in Washington and WHTM in Harrisburg which makes me wonder if they had their own graphics package or took the game feed with the peacock branding.

Maybe they'll go with something like that... They are still using the old package, I caught it when NFL Network started carrying the game and I thought it looked at least 15 years old. The package looked like it was designed for SD 4:3 but they stretched it to fill out the screen. One odd thing I noticed was that when the game started the score bug had this blacked out circular area which looked like KFMB removed the CBS Eye for the NFL Network feed.

Viper550 268 Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 Found a picture on Instagram; WHTM overlaid its own logo on the feed. It's good to see the Ravens finally dumped that Fox 2001 look-alike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFL Network is also carrying the game. My gut tells me the same graphics from last year will be used on WVUE. Watching the game on KTVI and it still looks like they're outsourcing their production of the game to Altitude (Colorado-based sports network owned by the same man who owns the Rams).

In the newscast after the game, WFLD apologized for the terrible video issues but made it clear that the Bears operate their own production for the game, and the issue was on that production team's end, not WFLD's.

rkolsen 1675 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 You mean this??? .... #FAIL Well that must of looked really awkward when the peacock ruffled it's feathers when they came back from commercial. Atleast locally WBAL didn't try to "bolt on" their logo next to the Verizon logo like they did in years past rather they chose to put the bug right outside the 4:3 safe zone with a translucent black background shaped like an iPad icon that constantly transitioned between their logo and the ravens logo.

Makes me wonder how WJLA did it since they don't have a boxy logo like that to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leavellebrett 85 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I hope that KDKA isn't STILL using the 2006 CBS Package. WTAJ simulcasted KDKA. WTAJ used a gray transparent logo, like they have been as of recently for syndicated programs. KDKA used the new graphics. It looked just like the KCTV picture.

LoadStar 363 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 The Packers are once again using their vaguely bootlegged NBC-ish graphics (likely NBC graphics template translated over to Journal's Renderon system, my guess): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, the close still reads "Young Broadcasting Nashville" even though they've been owned by Media General for about a year now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, the close still reads "Young Broadcasting Nashville" even though they've been owned by Media General for about a year now. No arguments. About the only thing that makes me think it might be a local version of the NBC Sports graphics is that some of the text in the graphics doesn't line up, something I'd think the "real" package would address. Otherwise, it's a very good presentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper550 268 Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 Apparently the Packers were having camera issues due to the rain, and had to tap into the Titans' cameras. You'd think they'd be pooling things from the start, given that due to how things are normally handled (the home conference's broadcaster handles all coverage), it is very rare for a football game to have two separate productions for each team, like in other sports. I saw a picture; the Titans' scoreboard looks like CBS even though your flagship is ABC. That's ... odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
