NEOMatrix 1276 Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 Hate to say it, but it feels like Gray tried to put "Action News" lipstick on a "Snoozefest 19" pig, when Gray should've shot the pig and start over. I would say give it time, but as of now it looks like they're trying too hard to be "Action News" without being "Action News". 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhratbrat 418 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) I did put some of WOIO's historical packages in this resynch to see if it will make it way better. In my opinion it does. Edited April 12, 2019 by bhratbrat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallastvguy 2 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Hothaus had nothing to do with this package and they are rarely doing work anymore. This really takes 19 back to the glory days! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s similar to how WFLA still uses their 2016 Media General graphics, but uses the Nexstar ticker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
News Fan 11 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) I am curious if Gray is going to roll out new websites and apps for all stations so they are all the same. Edited April 13, 2019 by JayPhil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Limerick package is becoming dated. So many stations have mutilated it, it’s not funny. I just hope some of the in house station artists don’t design packages. Some of their work is BAD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLETVFan 362 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Could there be new anchor teams coming to 19 News? Back to the new graphics, I love them. Much better than the Cleveland 19 look. I will add that nothing can top "Hometeam 19/43 News" as the most disastrous branding those two stations had. Plus, Dawn Kendrick appears to no longer work at WKYC. Maybe she can return to 19. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrannical bastard 2931 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 With the relaunch, WOIO is the first former Raycom station to be available on SBTV. As of now, they still have a standalone Roku app (in the Raycom format updated with the new logo) and WOIO is still available on livestream and NewsOn (with the Cleveland 19 logo) Time will tell if they stay on NewsOn, but I believe they're going to stick with SBTV.

PitCleTV 9 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 My wish is that WOIO actually have their 4, 5, and 6 newscasts be different. It's pretty much the same stories for those three newscasts. That really shouldn't be the case for a top 20 market. Such a stark difference between 19 and its counterpart, KDKA. Does anybody remember the segment "TrivTv," when anchor Sharon Reed would chat with WTAM Radio host Mike Trivisonno at 4:30 and 5:30? It was funny more than anything else.

Not to go into speculation territory here, but could Chris Tye be coming to 19? If Tanaka signed a three-year deal, his contract would be up this summer. And if Tye has a 6-month non-compete, it would expire around that time.... A quick look at Instagram shows Tye is friends with Jason Nicholas. So, who knows....

tyrannical bastard 2931 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Well...we'll have to see if gravity holds during May sweeps. Any gains 19 will see will probably only be from the declines of 3 and 5, and that's if there isn't a larger overall viewership decline amongst all other Cleveland stations....

Payton39 23 Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I just went to their website tonight. Just randomly, kind of. I do have lots of extended family out there, so as soon as I find the link to their newscast, I'll need to catch up. Overall, I really like the new "19" logo, and I like even more that there's no longer two different "19"s in two different fonts. That was always a bit triggering. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldenShine9 1374 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Are any other Gray stations - either legacy or ex-Raycom - changing into this style or something similar? I think, with different colors adjusted to the logo and local needs, it would look good on all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 516 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) KFDA I noticed has new graphics. They aren't quite like WOIO... During the weather segment, the only thing really left over from Raycom are the circles used to display the temps on the maps... https://www.newschannel10.com/weather/ https://www.newschannel10.com/2019/06/22/traffic-alert-ih-interchange-traffic-down-one-lane-due-accident/ Edited June 23, 2019 by MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
