GodfreyGR 493 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Rough news day in the Twin Cities (disclaimer: I live close to where todays shooting happened), but KSTP has been using a new live bug for the last couple weeks that add the city, and landmark/intersection the reporter is live from. Not sure I’ve seen too many other stations doing likewise, but it’s kind of a best addition, but it’s useful in a situation like today where multiple reporters are stationed around a community for a story.

ABC 7 Denver 1552 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I've always HATED live bug "tabs" on the L3. You can blame TEGNA for originating that crap. In this case, it's redundant and it's somewhat overlapping the time/temp bug. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks similar to the new ABC O&O Live bug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda redundant they had both on, but it was breaking news- bigger focuses for them in the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorningNews 1291 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Yeah the new ABC O&O mandate has an element like this for bugs. I actually like it, it’s pretty utilitarian. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to make this a list thread, but NBC O&O's also use their live bug similarly with the location. They've done this with the last couple of packages. So it is out there, and I do like their application of it minus the live tab on the L3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qunewsguy 376 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I'm surprised nobody's mentioned this yet but I hate the fact that it's a double live bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been mentioned, just not directly, you think we would not notice that! You might have scrolled right past it, happens to us all.

The difference between the top live bug and the L3s, makes me wonder if there going to roll out a new (or refreshed) graphics package. I do not when they last got a graphics refresh, would someone be able to tell enlighten us on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
