thegrudge58 1 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I'm not sure that's how Raycom wants it to look, WLBT.... From what I've seen so far it looks like all of WLBT/Fox 40 meteorologists are using the same background and graphics. Maybe they will make them work later on down the road.

thegrudge58 1 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Here is a video of the opens for both WLBT and Fox 40. It's a crappy video but it's better than nothing at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detroiter313 178 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Domitrz no longer does work for Raycom as of last year. The new graphics were made by Limerick Studios, Raycom's subsidiary in Charlotte. http://www.limerickstudios.com The only video I could find was a demo of the new weather graphics from WBTV meteorologist, Eric Thomas. Raycom has a graphics subsidary?? I thought its only subsidary is Raycom Sports, which is also based in Charlotte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2878 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Raycom has a graphics subsidary?? I thought its only subsidary is Raycom Sports, which is also based in Charlotte. They bought it, and prior to that they had an in-house design firm in Tucson. Moving the design shop to Charlotte likely makes it a lot easier to attract better people, let alone it's actually located closer to many of Raycom's southern stations. Raycom also owns the Montgomery-based Broadview Media (video production services) and Tupelo-Honey Raycom (production and post-production), which is out of New York.

Big Country News 435 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Noticed WAVE-3 refreshed their website and some new graphics here. Guess it's coming soon. That's just a black box and an orange bar. The Red/Blue package WAVE logo was also used, so I don't see them changing. Watch the weather graphics, those are the first to change.

memnews1 25 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 That background is the same background thats used on the L3s and banners, if you look to the left of the image you can see the pattern. I still don't expect them to switch anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike91 66 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Let's not forget, Raycom isn't exactly the fastest when it comes to rolling out graphics packages. Exhibit A-there are still stations using the 2010 look, when the 2013 look debuted almost two years ago now. I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for your station to get the gfx.

Exhibit A-there are still stations using the 2010 look, when the 2013 look debuted almost two Noticed WAVE-3 refreshed their website and some new graphics here. Guess it's coming soon. WVUE in New Orleans has the new graphics package theme on their website, too. I've found that Raycom's station's website (top banner in particular) typically reflect the current graphics in use or soon to debut. I'd keep an eye out for New Orleans and Louisville, especially New Orleans, since WVUE is really the newest station in the group. Speaking of New Orleans, Raycom has been slow to put the "Raycom charm" on that station. At least when WIS and WBTV used their own graphics package, the weather graphics (7-day forecast in particular) screamed Raycom. WVUE does have the mobile app stinger that I am sure most stations used at the closing of each newscast. With this new package, you will know when a station is getting the graphics when the weather department start using them. As mentioned earlier, it's evident that the weather graphics are rolling out first for a couple of weeks, yet WLBT introduced them to social media a month or so before their debut on television.

Maybe they will make them work later on down the road. You'll see this graphic change as the staff changes it as it is a direct link from the server. When this was originally posted it was right after they fully made the switch. It was not a great example of the new graphics if I must say.

mike91 66 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Looks like WTOL and WUPW are now fully using the new GFX as of a couple of days ago. WTOL is using Aerial, not sure about WUPW. Tried their live stream, but the audio is messed up. http://www.toledonewsnow.com/clip/11220251/house-bill-61-passed-in-effort-to-preserve-lake-eries-water-quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Country News 435 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 https://vimeo.com/124053891 I noticed that there's a green version of the graphics that a station hasn't used yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRolyPoly 1844 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Anyone do news on the CW? Would be a good fit From Raycom? It's called WUPV 65 with "The CW News at 6:30" from sister station WWBT 12. WQWQ/WQTV/KFVS-DT2 is also The CW, but airs rebroadcasts from some of KFVS 12's newscasts. Other than that, that's all I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhratbrat 423 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I know the video is posted, but I guess the question is how often are meterologists a part of the Wx Design package. Do they have a big say or not that much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWA_TV_guy 148 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Looks like WLOX (Gulfport/Biloxi/Pascagoula, MS) is beginning to implement some of the new graphic's designs and features.
