At the pace O&Os are going only Chicago done the full rollout. Maybe the stations just hate the look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noggi 600 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Just a total guess but it’s likely they’re also upgrading CG systems at the same time, which takes time to install and test before going on air with. I think they are a mix of Vertigo and Viz and who knows what else, they could be trying to upgrade stations to the same system which makes transferring templates easier. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were the one of the few of not only station group left without a centralized graphics hub. Part of the implementation of that is getting everyone on same page running the same graphics system. That way you don't need to build insert graphics for multiple systems. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes 10 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 KTRK ABC 13 Houston has began using the new graphics in all of their promos...Could the total package be debuting soon...Hopefully! I'm actually a big fan of the new package as I've seen on WLS ABC 7 in Chicago. 6 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey1986 22 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) I just noticed the new ABC logo on KABC in Los Angeles on the 11:00 PM newscast tonight. The rest of the graphics haven’t changed yet. Edited August 23, 2023 by Joey1986 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed on Sunday during the storm coverage they added a radar box in the corner of the screen to blend in with a smaller UPDATED logo with the time and temp blended in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually a big fan of the new package as I've seen on WLS ABC 7 in Chicago. So it looks like each station will be able to customize the accent colors. KTRK has red in place of yellow, and the blue looks a bit different. I wonder what they will do for breaking news, as WLS uses the blue with red accent color scheme for that.

A station that knows those tiny icons are bad. It probably won't stop the pictures from not matching the icons though Just keep the icons and get rid of they busy and inconsistent pictures. On 8/23/2023 at 2:37 PM, RaleighTVBOI1 said: It’s kinda clumsy. Very much so. The circle 13 isn't even centered in the middle of the 'frame'. The "Eyewitness News" doesn't match the 13. It is too generic and simple looking to be next to such an intricate, unique Channel 13 logo. Eyewitness News is 3D while the 13 logo is flat. The tiny Houston isn't necessary because there's only one 13 Eyewitness News. "Tomorrow Morning" isn't centered with anything either.
