DENDude 184 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 What has KSTU done to the tribune Graphics? YIKES!!! Their weather graphics don't seem to match what other Tribune stations are using, their lower thirds are very bland. I'm glad Scripps Broadcasting is taking over soon at least the graphics will be updated.. (Below are screen shots I took from the website) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenShine9 1509 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Ugly!!! Thankfully it won’t last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlnewsfan03 65 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I'd agree with the KSTU graphics not looking too great. It'll be interesting to see what the new Scripps group graphics package will look like when it debuts around late 2019/early 2020, and if a new Scripps group music package could be in the works as well. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 743 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 It's been like this for a few months now. I agree that they are tacky and weird. It's just like KFOR: They have decent graphics for news and then BAM they still have the God awful weather graphics that look like they're from the 90s.. WHO in Des Moines is another example.

mrschimpf 2050 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Forget the graphics...leaning into the MSPaint 'paste a Times New Roman 13 onto that Fox logo' design is a design choice...a really bad design choice, but someone has way too attached to that 13 for a long time, and it looks even worse now just rendered flat.

The good news is, the old Weather graphics packages on both KFOR and WHO will likely be dropped once Nexstar takes over. And quite frankly, I've never understood why (especially in a market where it's the freaking Severe Weather Capital of the World for crying out loud) Tribune never gave KFOR an updated weather graphics package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groupwfan 95 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 They've could've gotten the GFX KDVR and KFOR and WHO13 has... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCB4TV 330 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I'm predicting that KFOR will get the Nexstar NBC GFX shortly after Uncle Perry takes over as all the other Nexstar NBC stations in the region already have them.

They'd be better off using a NBC-ified version of the WISH/WTNH package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or KFOR (and the rest of the Tribune stations being sold to Nexstar) will just keep their existing graphics package Remember some ex-Media General and LIN stations still have the graphics package they adopted in the MG era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just curious because WOOD has always been in-house and I wonder if they get more freedom if they are #1 in their respective market?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the numbers, but I believe KFOR goes back in fourth with KWTV with KOCO at 3 and KOKH at 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you mentioned is apt, but it is seems to be because the company hasn't commissioned one of their in-house packages for some of the former Media General/LIN stations just yet.

Glad to see in Shanahan’s tweet that they are losing the oddball searchlight letter “X” in the FOX part of the logo.... it never looked quite right, especially when the logo was shrunken down: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
