tyrannical bastard 3442 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) Well, so far, the open is a hot mess. And Lynna Lai's story about the old look being "so 2018...." Sound effects aren't going to change my mind. The old look LOOKS better and does a much better job trying to explain the story.

NEOMatrix 1295 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) I’m sorry but that weather bar is not great...lose it and the L3s are much better. Also, the opens are too ADHD. If they were as simple and calm as WCCO circa late 2000s, then I would forgive the graphics. Overall, decent intentions, meh execution. Again, lose the damn weather bar! Even Sinclair pulls it off better than this! Edited September 23, 2019 by NEOMatrix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbnews 344 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I set an alarm to watch the 5am show (and I'm not a morning person).. I love the new graphics. The Troika look is awesome, but they really made this package work. I also really like their new music, whatever it is. But, a question who watches WKYC more often- is the content much different? The mornjng show seems pretty much the same content-wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgie56 3059 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) I havta admit these graphics look pretty neat, but I agree with NEOMatrix, that weather bar looks pretty bad. If it were moved to the bottom, it would look better. Here's some video in the meantime: Edited September 23, 2019 by Georgie56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the new look and logo, it looks rather blah. I think the folks at Dick Goddard Way are smiling right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WKYC seems to be trying a more female-focused newscast (as evidenced by a lot of the news promos and also the colors. IIRC, the last station in Cleveland to try to be more female-focused was WOIO's "Snoozefest 19" and boy that worked well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLETVFan 363 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Now WOIO has gone back to their "Action News" roots sort of. Back to WKYC, here's an article on the new look and design. The comments section is not too kind on the changes.

CLETVFan 363 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Now the question is, who will benefit in the ratings if WKYC's new image and format doesn't pan out? WEWS, WJW, or WOIO/WUAB? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you feel the need to air a package about how your new look will work, it's probably too complicated. Or you think your viewers are total idiots. As a nitpick: you can have a logo that emphasizes the "all encompass" of WKYC and seem a little more inspired than that. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vidifont 47 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 It's terrible. It does not stand out at all. This is the fact that management is lost. The thin logo, complete failure. They also went back to the Orange paint for the newsroom that they used when the station debuted in the building in 2001. I guess they had some extra paint cans in the back. This is completely unacceptable and the logo is... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSSZNews 1046 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Does the left bar show drive times or traffic information in the morning? That's something where it would be extremely useful to have in a prominent, constant spot in the morning. Other than that - I'm willing to give it a "first day" pass, but they don't have much time to figure this out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
