Axiom81 66 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 30 minutes ago, GodfreyGR said: Then the question is what do the ratings look like? If WMTV is #1 (And I'm pretty sure it's between them and WISC?) then "If it broken, don't fix it" might apply. That said, WISC did blow up their graphics and branding a few years back... I believe they run really close to each other. WISC I believe wins by a hair. WISC finally did get a new set 2 or so years ago and it was very much needed. Their graphics package I think was a small step back , but back to WMTV...I'll have to watch to see how they do their opens since NBC15 is embedded in their website, intros etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logo wise, they have had the same since the early 2000's. Edited December 11, 2023 by Axiom81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much even after a move to a new building and with WSAW, WEAU and WBAY all getting refreshes, they've still kept pretty much the same package for over a decade. It feels like going back in time when a sister station shows video/packages from them. And their logo imaging has been glued completely to NBC's since the trapezoid N era in 1976, nearly 50 years, so I don't understand the loyalty to keeping the appendage coming off the circle-15; just get rid of it or get a new logo.

SteveKendall 30 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 (edited) KYTV ("KY3") in Springfield, Mo. has not prominently featured the peacock since it introduced its current logo when it went HD years ago. However, in 2016 or '17, the station started using the peacock in its bug during newscasts. I just noticed tonight that the peacock is no longer part of the bug. I don't watch regularly, so I'm not sure when the change occurred. Incidentally, KY3 is still using the graphics that were commissioned by Schurz in 2015, right before the station was sold to Gray.

GodfreyGR 493 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Just checked KBJR- post “Northern News Now” inception, the “N” rotated with the peacock or cbs eye, depending which channel was airing the show. Network logos have been replaced with an impressive, yet unnecessary, animated Gray TV logo, the “N”/Tree logo remains with festive Christmas lights added for the season, and a QR code I’d assume gets you to download their app. They’re still using their Quincy graphics. As for the gray logo… does any regular viewer (read: none of us) know or care what Gray is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoopInTheHouse 63 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 “Brought to you by Jack’s”? That should be used for only FORECASTS. Whether or not they screwed up sponsorship, it’s a good improvement for the station, even since they were using that sometimes-low-budget Gray graphics sliding thing that looks like your news budget is $2,500. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reminds me of something on WBAY a couple years ago where there was an ad for a home medical provider showing their building and ten seconds later coming out of that break... 'Breaking news from Allouez, where a car has driven into a building'...and they cut to that same home medical building, now with a car halfway through its front window (thankfully nobody hurt there). Gotta love it when the sponsor somehow gets 'lucky' with another mention without the ad department getting involved. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks nice for an ex-Quincy station. I do notice they need to do some changes with the weather branding in-studio.. They switched to the First Alert Weather moniker, but still have Storm Track 12 in-studio... I'm sure that will change in due time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Website has been changed from NBC15.com to wmtv15news.com. Defiantly rolls off the tongue!

HSV cheesehead 88 Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 ABC afilliates? Have any stations that are primarily* ABC affiliates made the switch the Grayone yet? *(KGNS has an ABC affiliation on a sub channel, but is primarily NBC so I am not counting it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
