USNewsie 49 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 WMTW has the new graphics. As of their respective 5:00pm newscasts, WISN, KETV, KMBC, KOCO, KOAT, WTAE, WMUR, and WPBF do not. KOAT and KETV have the new gfx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoadStar 363 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Lower third on the WISN 6:00 pm news cold open didn't align with the "bug." I'm also not crazy about the weather maps. Otherwise, looks good! Edit: also, they need to kill with fire the "Big 12 Sports" opening animation/sounder. Ugh. Hasn't been updated; still the same awful animation and sounder they used before.

I don't think the L3s on the 5:00 open matched either. 12 News does have larger font on the opens at 5 and 6. The cold open looks better and there was a full open at 6:15! Looks like Weather Watch 12 got the caution signs on the 7 day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrschimpf 2051 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I sure do hope WISN gets a new set by the end of the year......... I'd just be happy for a new duratrans at this point. Outside of the off-kilter bar/bug alignment, it all looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mre29 1340 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Huh. Maybe I was watching previous newscasts and didn't know it. That's what I get for checking all those sites from work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamTheJ 87 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 This leaves WPBF, WMUR, WJCL, WTAE, KMBC, WAPT and KHBS/KHOG. The first one, WPBF, is My Hearst-owned station, and I’m willing to bet it will make the transition within a week and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoadStar 363 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I sure do hope WISN gets a new set by the end of the year......... Amen. That set is basically (at least) 17 years old. They desperately need a complete teardown and rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkolsen 1675 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Anyone complaining about the move to full 16:9? When WBAL did people complained on social media or in the mornings demanding the clock be put back on screen. Or did most of the Hearst stations started letterboxing their feed 24/7 well before that? WBAL was about a year before these graphics and elements were slowly moving further and further outside the safe zone. Maybe it was just me but I heard more drums to WBAL’s 11 PM open. And I’ve noticed that in the bottom corner of any graphic that contains a map they put copyright Google. Something never done before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearstArgyleFan90 38 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 WMUR is going to get a modified package to avoid overlap with WCVB, as they always have been. And chances are they’ll still be using the “Hearst Classic” music package, perhaps with newer cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjt24 309 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Or tomorrow. I doubt they'll debut tomorrow. They usually don't debut a new graphics package on a Friday or during the weekend. But then again, they might. So who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess 1110 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 The more I see this package, the more I like it. Especially those opens. Very kinetic and eye-catching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When WBAL did people complained on social media or in the mornings demanding the clock be put back on screen. Three years ago, it probably would have been heavier, but it's helped that NBC and ABC are compulsory 16:9 networks now, so except for hold out cable systems (Spectrum, just convert your SD's to 16:9 already on Charter systems) and SD stations, viewers are used to forced letterbox now. The same cannot be said for KCCI, WLKY and the CW news-share partners where CBS still allows 4:3 outside news and The Talk. Those viewers more likely to take to the pages and switchboards.

qunewsguy 376 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Talent opens have been out of fashion for over a decade. Hearst was really one of the last holdouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
