Geoffrey 779 Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 This is the first time I've noticed family/personal photos being used for a newscast's talent open. (Not trying to turn this thread into a list...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven 1944 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 So they implemented the graphics on a weekend morning..... What a weird time to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t say so actually; if there are any bugs/glitches, better to sort them out on a Saturday morning than during the week when more people are watching. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most launches would happen on either midday or an early evening during the week or a weekend evening. But I've never see a change happen on a weekend morning. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I believe you; I’m just saying that if I had to guess, that was the logic behind launching this morning. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsrecaps 8 Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 I can confirm the new graphics is also on KIAH (KTRK's 9PM newscast). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noggi 600 Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 That live update open is slick. Love how they kinda echo the ABC Times Square studio exterior. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorningNews 1290 Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Yeah the live update open is more appealing to me because it’s dynamic without being too busy like the opener. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercedes 10 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 I absolutely LOVE the new ABC 13 graphics! In my opinion I think they look better than ABC 7 Chicago. I love the red accents over the yellow accents. I do wish they did personalized openings for each newscast instead of the generic open. Also I’m a big fan of Talent montages…I know many stations are getting away from them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’d also be one of the few in the O&Os group still using them too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNPM Newswatch 11 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Could WABC be launching the new graphics soon? This promo, for a story on climate change, featured a new Eyewitness News logo and Virginia Hamilton as VO. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the same signs as KTRK before they got the new graphics on the news broadcasts a few months later. Looks like WABC is at that phase (I think they've been there for a while). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5269 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 (edited) I'll repeat was I said on the Discord server. It's from a promo package that's specifically being used for a climate series across the O&O's. These animations aren't likely coming from in-house, and the screenshot posted above looks like they put a WABC-shaped ABC7 in a KABC-shaped hole. I wouldn't necessarily see this as a sign of guaranteed change. This is how it's showing up on WLS, earlier this summer.

MorningNews 1290 Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Explain for this layman, when station groups do these mandated graphics is there also a mandated timeline for stations to implement the new packages or is it more of an eventual phasing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it's more dependent on when the station group provides the finished graphics. There is some implementation on the station level, but the graphics hubs have to finish putting with all of the localization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 743 Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 You also have to consider the DMA, end of rating books, big events (i.e. Olympics)... There really are a lot of variables and there really is no formula... Take Gray for example.. They seem to be doing 1-3 stations/week with the GrayOne rollout... CBS didn't take too terribly long.... NBC didn't really take that long either.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s also the issue of what graphics systems are used at the station level, and whether the group-standardized graphics have to be customized to support the station’s existing system.
