WTVM, WVUE, KAIT, WFIE, KCBD, KSWO, KAUZ, KGMB/KHNL. WWNY also haven't switched (even though this was a United Comm. outlet). Edited December 14, 2020 by CircleSeven Just found out another station switched. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
who?cares 186 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Sounds like WAFF is still using a mix between the Rock and INergy. Just pick a package. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The station still have the old Waterman look after Gray added it to their portfolio last year. Edited December 14, 2020 by tw-804 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CircleSeven 1,329 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 .....And now KSLA has the WMC pack. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LexTVandRadio 317 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) I really hope some of the older Gray stations get an update, but most likely won't until the ALL the Raycom stations get updated. WYMT has had the same look since 4/2014 and WKYT since 9/2015 Edited December 15, 2020 by LexTVandRadio 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CircleSeven 1,329 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Slowly, but surely, the new graphics are creeping into the pre-Raycom outlets. Valley News Live (KVLY/KXJB) have the same graphic pack its sister station down I-29 have (KSFY/KDLT). 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Animations seldom work (delayed, glitchy, animations seem incomplete), the quad-sreen over Morken's shoulder has been blacked out during the newscast all week (the screens themselves are not new- part of the studio re-design in 2012-ish. Is it software related? pre-mature rollout? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I saw this today at noon and it's making me think they're just going to hold off until they do any construction to build a new set. The set is at least ten years old except for some updated duratrans and weather branding. They are using some of the AR features that the already upgraded stations are using during weather. WFIE is just "landlocked" in an aging building. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
I’m a news junkie..so what 15 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 (edited) Found one of the old Gray TV Packages. If I'm correct, it's called 41 Degrees.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hvHTfb14yA Edited February 19 by I’m a news junkie..so what Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tyrannical bastard 2,098 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I hope whatever WVUE gets, it's a package with a twinge of customization to it, like WBRC had their own spin on the so-called "over-used" variant that WRDW/WAGT just got. Even if the main color is purple, it's New Orleans, and it will work there. The WBTV package is good. The only problem is that it looks so similar to the KOIN Nexstar package that WGNO just got (especially with the lower thirds). Except that Gray does a much better job overall of executing it. It would take a lot to screw up WVUE. And since their competition has crumbled before them, WVUE has the clear advantage no matter what they end up with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wildish 7 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Typically I would say WVUE would never move away from blue, but with WGNO leaving the purple train, I could see it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tyrannical bastard 2,098 Posted Tuesday at 07:40 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:40 PM WTVY is revamping their look on Thursday. This includes a refreshed logo, new graphics and a refreshed set. https://www.wtvy.com/2021/03/01/wtvy-introduces-new-branding/ Graphics-wise, they have a similar package to the one that's about to be replaced at WSAZ, and their set is about a decade old, and is one of the standard-issue Gray ones from that era. I'm sure any updates will also extend to WRGX, their low-powered NBC station. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froyo49 55 Posted Tuesday at 11:57 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:57 PM Something I noticed at the end of the WTVY article: Quote The new custom soundtrack was composed by Stephen Arnold Music. Interesting that a station in market 172 commissioned a custom soundtrack, unless they're talking about a few updates to an existing package. I guess we'll see Thursday.
