It looks they'll be the next to get the WMC/KLTV look... https://www.wlbt.com/about-us/contact/ Unlike in some of these other markets, they do have to worry about WAPT as well. They can't brush Jackson off as an inevitable leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it seems that the smaller Raycom stations are getting assimilated into the borg. I hope they at least put some thought and effort into WBTV. That's practically their flagship inherited from Raycom and J-P. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOIO's news department is going back to it's roots. Also a return to the Ohio State Colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronQ 259 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) If I've to guess, since WBTV got some programing changes next month with their lifestyle programing ("QC @ 3", the replacement of Steve Harvey and "QC Mornings", which it's a rebrand of Morning Break), I'm wondering if they'll get some new graphics around that time.... https://www.wbtv.com/2019/05/31/wbtv-introduces-qc-more/ Edited August 25, 2019 by AaronQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir NMSA says they just started using 360 with these new graphics. They've been using The Rock previously. I wonder if Gray is going to start standardizing for their lower-market stations.

GoldenShine9 1509 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I think WLBT could use a different logo too. The color scheme looks awkward with those graphics. A yellow or orange touch, like WVLT has, would look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their implementation is actually very good. Maybe it’s the gradients, but these look a lot slicker than the other Gray graphics. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qunewsguy 376 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Does Gray mandate that stations must spell at least one word wrong per newscast per station? "Autospy" on WLBT and "alamanc" on WBTV. Embarrassing... 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenShine9 1509 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 It seems Gray doesn't have any real standards for the news layouts, other than weather. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronQ 259 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 My verdict on WBTV's new graphics, it's pretty damn good. Although it's something I'll get used to as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenShine9 1509 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 As for the graphics, this would be a good package for all Gray stations, although they should have the ability to change colors depending on local demands and logos (I know KKTV has a red base and WVLT uses orange in their color scheme). The blue base works well for WBTV though, but would look awful at WCSC, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axiom81 66 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I'm curious to see if WMTV (Madison,WI) or WCSC ( Charleston) are in line for the graphics change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
