speed053 35 Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 After KOVR switched to the new graphics, all of the CBS O&O stations are now using the new graphics and Dimensional by Antfood. The old graphics and the CBS Enforcer news music package by Gari has been retired. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wanted to watch them without having to do so on a resync video from the Internet. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's clarify something up... its no longer used on O&Os but is STILL used by affiliates. KWTX Waco and the Griffin duo of KWTV OKC and KOTV Tulsa are such examples. 9 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noggi 600 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 (edited) CBS just laid off a ton of design staffers at the O&O level and announced the creation of a centralized design unit. They recently hired someone from outside CBS to be a vp/station group design. A ton of very talented local art directors, designers, and Chyron folks got kicked to the curb today with no notice. Rumor has it the creative services producers are next on the chopping block. Edited June 7, 2023 by noggi 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good side of it is there's gonna be new people to make sure that the graphics stick along with the guidelines for all stations without anyone doing anything weird that would catch folks eyes here, like messing up the fonts, logos, headline graphics that don't match the theme of it, etc. Maybe if the folks that were fired would've been trained, and do it right, there wouldn't be any need for that. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey 779 Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I'm not sure they're necessarily hiring a bunch of people to replace the ones apparently just let go. I would imagine this is mostly reducing and consolidating staff to cut costs, having most daily graphics come from a central hub. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're getting a set refresh, and it's being discussed in two other threads on here, and it has nothing to do with the O&O graphics.

This is a very naive take on the situation. The folks who were let go were incredibly talented. @Geoffrey is correct in that they’re keeping a select few, the only new hire is the vp/group design. Also - what a shitty move, not promoting from within for that role with a very qualified pool of candidates. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense, but I have no clue where you’re getting that idea. They’re gutting and centralizing creative services to cut costs; they aren’t going to eliminate positions only to fill them up again with new people. It’s got nothing to do with some guy getting the font wrong at a particular station; as others mentioned, the people being let go are more than qualified for their positions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFTV 484 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 (edited) KPIX tweaked the news ticker as of this morning. It does not have an orange ticker like it used to match with the morning graphics. It now matches what KOVR uses now. KPIX is only using a Headlines ticker instead of weather compared to what KOVR uses. https://youtu.be/eS-EuobGpTo Edited June 11, 2023 by SFTV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that my recent opinion has drawn controversy. So let me say, my opinion has nothing to do with the facts. Of course, the facts are they cut the jobs to save money and streamline the graphics department. My opinion was, what I believe, this may lead to how it may affect how viewers will notice it as the graphics will be better as a result. And how I wish some would've stayed and helped out in that aspect. Hopefully I cleared up my comments. Sorry for the confusion. But at the same time, I don't blame y'all for even letting me know what the facts are already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KPIX and KOVR have that type of ticker, whereas KDKA increased the font size on the default time, temp, and ticker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleWXYZ 173 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) I love KDKA’s newscasts, but it’s time for them to change their mics. They are still showing the old logo. Same with KPIX. Edited July 7, 2023 by CircleWXYZ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
