qunewsguy 376 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Check out the AWYT video sample on 615music.com. Look new (and nice and shiny)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ntropolis 593 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Woah... very nice! Love how it keeps the spirit of the old open (the clock thing). The last part of the open looks much like WTNH/WVBT's Renderon package... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrtraveler01 737 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Wow, that pretty sharp. Great graphics and AWYT works really well with it. Can't wait to see when they will start using these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abric 157 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 One the best new graphic opens i have seen in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjohnson 15 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 If that's any indication, it doesn't look like WWL is going Hi-Def anytime soon. The graphics are nice, but are they HD-Ready? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mre29 1340 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I can't find it on the site. What section is it in? Edit: Never mind, just found it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrtraveler01 737 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Hate to divert the topic, but is WWL still planning on building a new home for the station like they did before Katrina? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightynine 286 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I was told that the new graphics were going to debut June 30, but they had a delay of a few weeks. So it could be any week now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightynine 286 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I'm now hearing around Aug. 1st as a launch date for the new graphics. I know that's a Friday, so I don't know if they would debut that day or on the Monday following. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsie 11 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Yeah, I'm having a little trouble finding it. EDIT: Never mind. It looks very nice and works great with AWYT. It reminds me somewhat of WVBT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PelicanGuy 117 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Wow! That's pretty darn good if you ask me. Mrtraveler, I haven't heard anything regarding a new home for Channel 4 and WUPL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightynine 286 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Like I said before, I'd heard August 1st as the day for new graphics - which didn't make a lot of sense, considering that it's a Friday. And so far, nothing new, but there was a slipup on the noon weathercast - a new breaking news scroll appeared briefly, which I got some screen grabs of. Also, if you're interested, WWL-TV's YouTube channel has some new promos up that include a glimpse at new mic flags. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZHgUlYvN4I&feature=user Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zelenneyibrestas58 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I hope they come soon! Those graphics are even worth MY time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PelicanGuy 117 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I agree. I hope they unveil them soon. They've had more than enough time to get acquainted with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PelicanGuy 117 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 We're sitting here guessing when WWL will show off their new look. Just before this posting, I saw an ad for the Katrina anniversary...with the new look...and then it hit me. What if they're waiting until Aug. 29 to implement the new graphics? Something to consider... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightynine 286 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 They did a promo on the bells during the noon newscast today - the fullscreens were in the new graphics style. Screencaps: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PelicanGuy 117 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I also noticed that they have implemented the new fonts on their severe weather alert system...including the new logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightynine 286 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I also noticed that they have implemented the new fonts on their severe weather alert system...including the new logo. When was that? On Tuesday when they had all the nasty stuff on the Northshore? I'll have to watch out for it next time some stuff comes through.

Caught it after tonight's 10 pm show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess 1110 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Just saw the video - that IS pretty sweet. Very, very slick 3D graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnya2k6 171 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Wow! That's pretty darn good if you ask me. Mrtraveler, I haven't heard anything regarding a new home for Channel 4 and WUPL. They broke ground in 2005, but construction on it (the J. Michael Early Broadcast Center named after WWL's longtime general manager) has been postponed due to Katrina. I'm probably guessing that WDSU will one-up WWL with local news in HD after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a local news promo on WDSU that was in HD. Also, local news sidebars have been blue, not black - so I wouldn't be surprised to see HD from WDSU soon (if they're not doing it already and I missed it).

Channel 4 is using their new scroll during the noon newscast, but the font is the same as the one they currently use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
