KevCor 344 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Honestly, I think the TEGNA music is growing on me. Same here. I’ve come to realize the vocals actually work better for the morning/noon shows, which I think some stations have picked up on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skbl17 188 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Honestly, I'm slowly coming around too. I think KUSA (the actual opens, not the teases,) , (6pm, they ruin it at 10) and have the right idea for what I don't want to hear in the evenings and late nights: the vocals. Then again, I never had a problem with the actual melody, just those weird vocals. I've come to accept the vocals for morning shows. Morning shows are quirky and cheesy, so why not have quirky and cheesy music to match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGSJenkins 431 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 They need more color in the opens, only KING's logo has color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ATTACH]5572[/ATTACH] I still think there are some stations without the new graphics, using story pieces with the new graphics (Tegna’s graphic hub probably already doing work with new graphics to distribute to all). But eventually these stations will finally switch. WFAA has been using the new graphical elements for its “We are WFAA” and “WFAA Originals” promos/stories.

I wonder if they’ll keep the morning graphics package, seeing that they just got it a few months ago and the ticker they use is a reskinned version of the old one.

Rusty Muck 4158 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 At least they could have reversed the G-E-C note signature to make it sound less NBC-like. Oh wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mardek1995 200 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 All of TEGNA's stations' websites have the new layout now, except, as expected, KFMB. Still, no changes in the graphics, but I'm expecting at least one or two stations to get the new graphics within the next few days to a week. I saw a KXTV (ABC 10) graphic in there... so it appears both of the TEGNA outliers will eventually get ‘em. EDIT: Check out the crazy Little Rock weather... Both of the outliers will more than likely be among the last, and probably will be the last to get the new graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Block 1487 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 KUSA's late newscasts now have a handheld studio camera operator. This also means that they've been doing some longer studio bumps with the nice tease music. I think it sounds quite nice, so I uploaded it below. The tease graphics could still use some more work though. Also, I included the close as well as it was a little longer tonight too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the hub likely isn’t the one producing national packages. Chances are it’s some overworked producer or reporter who made the graphics using a MOS plugin into the editing software or ENPS.

PreComposed 1 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Also the hub likely isn’t the one producing national packages. Chances are it’s some overworked producer or reporter who made the graphics using a MOS plugin into the editing software or ENPS. With C Block's example right before your post, I'd bet that Xpression could do that via MOS, since everything these days design-wise seems like it's matte-based moves.

mardek1995 200 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Unless that was a proposed logo that they decided against using.More like a logo they used to use, but no longer do. The logo WKYC's been using is basically an italicized version of that logo we see in the above image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 740 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Speaking of logo "change"... WZZM's logo on their website is now all yellow/gold including the ABC logo and now has the On Your Side next to it instead of the WZZM... not sure if it's temporary or permanent... none of their social media pics have changed to it..yet...

Weeters 1804 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Some of the logos in that demo may not be the actual logos that the station uses when they launch this look. I'm pretty sure that is just the demo reel that Troika sent with the files that TEGNA sent them. I've heard of a few TEGNA stations recently looking at revising or replacing their logo when they get these. At least one of them is in that video.
