I've noticed that while KFOR is still on the Tribune pkg however at the bottom of the screen I'm starting to note hints of an eventual graphics change happening to KFOR. Is it what I'm thinking it is (the NBC Nexstar pkg) or is it a different Nexstar pkg (e.g. KOIN pkg, etc.)? I do have a screenshot of it but it's over on Discord. Post it here so I can see it because I’m not on Discord because according to corporate they’re just now starting to work in Oklahoma and they’re really focused on getting something modern in OKC that beats KOCO (the best in the market).

Here's the photo for refrence (I do apologize to the west coast people seeing this as I took this when I was watching Jeopardy! which airs on KFOR here) Honestly the more I see it the more I think it can't be entirely Nexstar NBC pkg. What this might be looking more and more like a mix of Nexstar NBC and KOIN pkg. or this could be entirely be different. I'll let you weigh in on it.

That is the standard Nexstar Closings / Severe Weather crawl. These are usually housed within "NewsTicker" or a similar solution, integrated directly into the station website, and fairly simple to install and setup. It's the same standard design applied across all stations, with some exceptions. Most of the Nexstar packages are designed around the same common ticker/bug height so it can be easily integrated. I'd say it most closely resembles the look of the CBS package, but I believe it predates that by a few years. It's an obvious sign of Nexstarization, but I recall the same thing being brought up a few months ago. More likely, as soon as KFOR switched to the Nexstar website, they launched this crawl package for Closings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imma tell y’all corporate is not going to start working on KFOR until November. Corporate is saying they’re trying to get them switched over before the holidays. Rn they launched to which Is October 26th and that was WREG (I said a Nexstar station will look new on October 26th.) Anyway Nexstar is now focused on WGNO (still in the air plus they have a hurricane headed there way) and WDKY (Fox Package And new set) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question is where will they build this new set for WDKY? Maybe the logo will get changed up, that yellow isn't going to look good with all that red and blue that sinclair launched in 2001.

I just noticed they managed to put Fleur De Lis accents throughout the studio. A nice custom touch to what is otherwise an in-house job by Nexstar. EDIT: I like the new digs WHNT rolled out. It looks like they borrowed a lot of ideas from KTVX's set and improved on the design. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dman748 1250 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Speaking of rebrands, WHNT isn't the only ones that rebranded guess WHO just rebranded? Yeah, them. Not sure when they did it but after well over a decade in years and through ownership changes "Channel 13 News" is no more. It's now W-H-O 13 News, Link: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the phrase it's been just simply "From W-H-O, THE Local News Leader." Since last year afaik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
