SFTV 476 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I noticed WNBC doesn’t use the social media bar, unless they fixed that since I haven’t seen it in any recent YouTube videos except the 6pm newscast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNBC doesn't use the social bar at all, WNJU uses theirs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrogo 188 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 For those of you interested in what NBC 10 Boston has done, I've uploaded 3 different opens. IMO, The 4:30 open looks the best, I'm not a fan of the tease graphics used at 5, and for "The Ten", the concept is a good one but I was expecting it to be 10 minuets straight of a local story, not a random feature story that doesn't have any apparent local connection, I'm surprised they didn't go with a full half hour of tradition news at 7 like other O&O's are or even something like KARE 11's "Breaking The News"... NBC 10 Boston News at 4:30PM Open. NBC 10 Boston News at 5PM, Breaking News Open. NBC 10 Boston News "The Ten" at 7PM Open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those lowers in the 5PM tease are expanded snipes from Look N's topical promo graphics. I always thought they should have been the standard lowers for that package instead of the whole cable news-esque inserts they went with. That said they clash with Looks S. Also someone should tell them they're two weather packages behind. They're still using the original Look N weather templates. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew 143 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 What does their morning and noon opens look like? Noticed lately either they are branded "Today in NY/LA/Bay" or its just "NBC Chicago News". Is Boston still calling their noon broadcast NBC 10 Boston News Now or something new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think NBC10 was ever a serious contender against WCVB for the "serious news" at that hour so if they just build out their niche, they can corner that part of the market. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weather package needed some "finishing touches", but they should be on air next week just in time for the Olympics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ref1997 59 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) WNBC uses this too... at least in their "Weather Update" cut ins. Video if you're interested: https://streamable.com/qnnhgr Edited July 19, 2021 by ref1997 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoFloTVClassics 903 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 *sighs* I knew it. WTVJ and I assume WSCV will be the last NBC and Telemundo O&O station to receive the new graphics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVIT recently switched to a temporary studio too (I think last week...), so they're definitely one of the latest to switch to Look S. For WRC, their set has been in use through Look F and Look N, and the old MTP set opposite to their set is no longer in use (maybe scrapped?) as the network moves to the new bureau so I think a new set is due soon... Maybe built in the old MTP studio... The Olympic opening ceremony is coming this week so I'm expecting more stations to switch this week. Not sure if there's an internal deadline tho...

ddaniels20 65 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) Screencap of WCAU 4PM intro. I believe this is the first time they’ve had the Philly skyline featured in their intro since 2014 (which is when they switched to the standard Look F graphics). They’re also using the older cut of LA Groove in the intro that they used from 2014-2016. Edited July 19, 2021 by ddaniels20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ref1997 59 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) I made a quick capture of the intro below if anyone's interested. I don't plan to put this on YouTube, someone probably will anyways. They used the full LA Groove intro theme. IMO this is what WNBC should be using too instead of the crappy 4-note sting that doesn't fit Look S... https://streamable.com/bsh9a6 Edited July 19, 2021 by ref1997 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Action Newsroom 1138 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I'm so glad these graphics made it to WCAU. They look so great and compliment the packages at the other O&Os very well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
