I am happy that Gray is letting stations have control (for the most part) of their look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost as if the anchor is reading the press release itself. Doesn't help that she sounds robotic and bored. Amarillo is a “fresh out” market - kiddos right out of college. I had a couple of college mates who started there right out of school (and then moved up and out after a year or two) - especially on the weekend, where crews are very thin. i’d just chalk it up to lack of experience.

TennTV1983 714 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 WMC-TV in Memphis switched over to new blue-and-white graphics this evening. Appears to be another variant of the Gray look many of its stations have been receiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memnews 36 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 (edited) Just caught the final seconds of WMC's 5PM and saw the same thing. Here are a couple photos. I hope the custom backgrounds on the weather graphics aren't done with (even though they appear to be, if the 7-day is any indication). I always thought using local photos was a neat idea.

RGSJenkins 426 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Unfortunately Livestream has been stuck airing a 7:57am Today news update from July 4th, no one can't record a open unless you live in the Memphis area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memnews 36 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I'm afraid I won't be of any help with recording an open. But some videos from the 5PM have been uploaded to the app/website. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the font is Helvetica. And the lower thirds really need some help differentiating between the headline and the secondary text. (Accidentally posted this before with "hide post" selected and for the life of me can't seem to undo it. My bad.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
who?cares 234 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 It's not much, but here's the last frame of the open. From this story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2854 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 What a downgrade. They really need tightening up on the type size, placement and choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memnews 36 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 If you'll pardon the poor quality, here are some pictures and video from the 10PM. In addition to Helvetica on the regular graphics, I think that's Arial on the weather graphics. Also not a fan of how unnecessarily blocky and screen-clogging the weather scroll is. As you can see though, the rest of the weather graphics rely heavily on the old Raycom look.

TSSZNews 1032 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 It's better than the Raycom look - never thought that look was good to begin with, let alone aged well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannical bastard 3183 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I could go either way on this one. It's definitely a Gray package, but it looks decent and doesn't seem too derivative or too "plastic-looking" versus some of the other Gray efforts.

Plus I'd be interested in seeing how Gray will do WVUE and WBRC as well. Also if Gray plans for those 2 Fox stations to switch to "Beyond" music package with graphics makeover.
