ehatt493 31 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 WAVE updated their mobile app recently and it's using the new background and a new, flatter icon. Old graphics still being used in all news/weather production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven 1944 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Looking at their live stream, KOLD-TV is using new weather graphics. Notice that KOLD is using the blue variant & the KMSB-aired news is using the orange variant. As of now, the news graphics is still a status quo.

KAIT in Jonesboro, AR also looks to at least have switched weather graphics. Ryan Vaughan implied on Twitter that it's weather-only for now.

memnews1 25 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 WAVE will switch to the new weather graphics tomorrow on the 11am newscast, according to this promo posted by Ryan Hoke: https://www.facebook.com/hokeywx/videos/10153559641479374/ It should be noted that WMC also updated their news and weather apps with the new background.

LexTVandRadio 412 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Ah! You beat me to it! Setting the DVR to make sure I get 'em! Awesome! Look forward to seeing it. I'll check it out on your YouTube channel. I saw someone comment about a new set. Said not yet, but they are due for one. WHAS... It's time.

memnews1 25 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 This could have been expected, but WAVE completely switched to the new graphics, not just for weather. They appear to be using the orange theme, at least for the morning shows. Don't know if the color will change for the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexTVandRadio 412 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I was thinking the same thing, but looks like they are sticking with the orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehatt493 31 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 The orange kinda makes sense because the 2010/2011 graphics also used the blue/orange motif instead of, say, red or shades of blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehatt493 31 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 2 hours late because I didn't realize the file was over 1GB. But nonetheless, a small medley from the first 15 minutes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country News 435 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Seriously, WAVE using a junk package like 'The Rock'? It may fly in small towns, but the sound doesn't fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOMatrix 1295 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I'm glad that WAVE got rid of the "Red White and Blue" package, but why didn't WWBT or WIS get the new graphics first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montydavis 7 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I'm glad that WAVE got rid of the "Red White and Blue" package, but why didn't WWBT or WIS get the new graphics first? WIS rarely follows the status quo. They still utilize the same graphics that are about 7 years old. Before that, they had the Liberty-era graphics. WWBT used to support the Jefferson-Pilot (Lincoln Financial) stations of WWBT, WCSC, and WBTV for graphics. Since Raycom took over, they have been slow at incorporating the Raycom graphics. They still use "some" elements from their J-P era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journalist 893 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 WAVE's unique execution of the graphics is superb, kudos to them. From recently memory I believe WAVE is the second station to execute the graphics without breaking them? I believe the first was WBTV. Anyways, it's nice to see a American station to have a clean and dynamic package without breaking it, especially when it comes to the Raycom package which is obviously amazing.

I think it looks great myself. Much better than the Sinclair package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrtraveler01 737 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I think it looks great myself. Much better than the Sinclair package. Not a fan of the orange (prefer the blue myself). But Raycom did a great job picking Limerick to design this package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOMatrix 1295 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Raycom has done a good job executing the graphics on WAVE. I just hope that whoever gets the Limerick Package next (likely WMBF) doesn't screw it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journalist 893 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Much better than the Sinclair package. The Sinclair package is a failed attempt on flat design. Raycom on the other hand nailed it. Not a fan of the orange (prefer the blue myself). I think the fact the package allows stations for easy customization is perfect. Giving stations a standardized package is boring enough, but giving each station a unique flair, colour wise, can improve their product. I completely understand it could be mind-boggling, considering the fact they had the sharp red-blue-white mix for several years now. Anyways, WAVE have an orange colour scheme is kinda cute. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
