Mrtraveler01 737 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 After teasing us for over a year with a new logo for their apps, KMOV has finally implemented new graphics. Quick observation seems to suggest that the L3s are the same ones the KPHO/KTVK duopoly however the open seems to have been inspired by the CBS O&Os. The music has also switched back to CBS Enforcer using various cuts of it. The link below includes part of the open and also some of the graphics at work. http://www.kmov.com/story/38769978/too-close-to-the-curb-residents-complain-of-unfair-parking-tickets This also represents the end of the Belo graphics.

dman748 1250 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 The new V/O by Brian Lee: Live from the KMOV Broadcast Center in Downtown Saint Louis. This is News 4, Watching Out For You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgie56 3059 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 They should stay consistent with Enforcer and use the newer cuts for bumpers, just like they do for the open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, that's my only big compliment about this. Compared to what they had before, this is a dramatic improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2876 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 It's actually pretty nice. I feel like the 3D rendering is a little too sparse on the background, and the constant social changes are a little distracting, but it's an improvement for sure.

Georgie56 3059 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I'm really digging the cut they're using for mornings. It's a light rock cut of Enforcer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidwestTV 1173 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 It's fine. I feel like the movement is a bit too quick, especially towards the end with the 4. But It's good. "Watching Out For You" sucks? Tell that to KOIN 6 in Portland... Certainly better than the atrocity "We've Got Your Back" KSN tried to use for a hot minute.

TheRolyPoly 1843 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 It’s a vast improvement over “News 4 Never Stops”. At one time, KMOV used "News 4 Never Stops Watching Out For You." Yes, they legitimately used that in a news open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dman748 1250 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Yes. Ummmm sorry to say if Lee fits with the CBS O&Os he certainly fits with KMOV (even though that's the only Meredith-owned station to use Lee as their V/O guy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Linear Drift hit the nail on the head with another unique open with rehashed lower 3rd graphics. I wonder if this will be a trend for them, using the same template for lower 3rd and other graphics but making unique opens. Clearly, this is not the same open that KTVK/KPHO have, but it's also not what WFTV has (who originally had the lower 3rd graphics). EDIT: I meant Hothaus, not Linear Drift. But now part of me feels like Linear Drift is behind the open, if they are that's rather unique to use two designs from two competitors at once. If it's not Linear Drift and it is in fact Hothaus, that's the most Linear Drift I've ever seen a Hothaus open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the one thing they have consistency with is Brian Lee saying "Live from the KMOV Broadcast Center in Downtown St. Louis. This is News 4, Watching Out For You." he no longer says the time of day in the intro which he did when KMOV had the Belo Graphics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qunewsguy 376 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I'm pretty sure this is Hothaus given the lower thirds which are a dead giveaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
