wpix PIX 11 Overhauls Open, Music

[ABC 7 Denver 1552]

New music is very reminiscent of OSI Music's Fox package. Note the new slogan 'New York's Very Own.'

[TSSZNews 1046]

They didn't retain the NSM theme signature?

 

Blaaaaaaaah

[CircleSeven 1944]

Has it debuted on air yet?

 

Even though its a sample vid, that doesn't always mean it'll hit the airwaves.

[Georgie56 3059]

This reminds me of WPVI's old open, except without MCTYW and the last 2 seconds.

[DMA 134]

It'd be a shame if they dropped the NSM theme, it's probably the best signature package in the market. I do like the open, it's certainly an improvement, and the braided effect around the circle 11 is great!

 

This video seems to be prep footage for the titles, and has a kinda cheesy package with the NSM signature, so who knows what's in store!

Yeah, I've seen some montages (with B-roll not unlike this) on their creative services page using new cuts with the current signature, so whatever's being played here could just be a placeholder. I think there's a post with the new bug and lower thirds that match this open. Definitely an incomplete product.

 

Edit: yeah, that. (see above)

The end of the open looks a lot like KCPQ's a bit. Would be awesome if Tribune (if they don't merge with Sinclair) would use those graphics on its other stations.

[NYNews 54]

In these opens, you can hear in the beginning, parts of their signature news theme from NSM. It seems to be an updated version of their signature theme. I just feel these cuts seem too laid back for news though.

[EHTVnews 20]

Another new cut of their theme has been used on their traffic report segments

I hear the original WPIX News signature at the beginning.

[24994J 5269]

Here's that other graphics demo I saw. I see some similarities to the KTLA L3's, and the color scheme seems to match the open in the original post.

[Newsjunker95 26]

Is this like the newer intro soon?

[RGSJenkins 431]

Is this like the newer intro soon?

I saw part of the new open show up during the morning news as a rejoin on Monday, didn't get to hear the theme because I had the tv on mute.

 

On a side note: Daily Mail TV with Jesse Palmer which starts on the 18th has a home in NYC, in more ways than one.

Was it during the Air 11 report? Let's see if they debut the intro by the end of the month. I saw the spoil of Daily Mail TV circa Tamsen Fadal.

Why even bother? They're going to be stuck with the crappy Sinclair graphics soon enough.

I don't think Sinclair will own PIX. KTLA hasn't been purchased yet.

Can we please stop with this?

 

There is ZERO indication this is going to happen other than a bunch of people speculating on this site. Sinclair will take ownership of Tribune Creative West, one of the best in-house design departments in the country. I think there's more likelihood the Tribune graphics end up on Sinclair stations than vice-versa.

yea i prefer the opposite too. what tribune's state is in is nowhere near sinclair material yet so we can relax.

Ehhhhhhhhhh

 

I disagree. Remember: This is SINCLAIR we're talking about; a business at heart that is not afraid to regionally hub newscasts to save a buck.

 

Trib West may be good, but they're also in LA, which means they also retain expensive talent. If I'm the Smiths, am I going to keep my decent, clearly efficient and likely much cheaper to maintain centralized art department in Maryland that helped me get this far, or am I going to destroy that loyalty for prettier pictures I imagine most viewers won't care about?

 

Sinclair had no trouble pulling the plugs on better creative at WJLA or KOMO. Keep that in mind.

 

Now, could Sinclair get the Trib West project files from LA and botch them in Maryland? That, to me, is a much stronger possibility.

[NYNewsCoverage 257]

Dan Mannarino tweeted that the new graphics debut tomorrow AM.

[NYNewsCoverage 257]

Actually they just debuted now on the news at 5! Really nice look!!!

[Newsjunker95 26]

They've just debuted the new graphics today for 5 p.m.

[Newsjunker95 26]

I like the updated Graphics. It seems like it was needed. Now they need to focus on having a better set

[Journalist 893]

Decent graphics, but what in the world is that colour palette?

[NYNewsCoverage 257]

Yeah I agree the color palette is definitely weird and really clashes with the set. Not saying the set needs an upgrade cause it was just redone 2 years ago. But it really clashes..... Also I'm liking the theme its a nice modern update to the custom theme.
