Still waiting for WHP CBS21 to get these graphics.  That will probably happen in year 2030.

The ticker though...that's always the same. I expect them to get the standard Gray ticker in due time (never understood why the ticker is standard for them but not the rest of the GFX).

The ticker tho for Gray stations is junk.  Much to be left desired.  The text of the ticker takes up only 45% of the screen.

Those gfx look hot for CBS 19 ... 

But since it’s Flashback Friday ... let’s go to one of the best news promos ever.  Seriously.  Lol

I hate to drag future Tegna stations into this, but I think I hear WTIC screaming "HOLD MY BEER". This is exactly the sort of thing they would do over there.

 

Buckle up Connecticut.

Same with WPMT.

It would be a change of pace for Gray to go out of house for a new look.  (It looks like they fell for the WeatheRate scam too...ugh)

 

We all know that Raycom had their in-house Limerick package, Wasn't most of Gray's graphic efforts in house as well?

I really don’t want to go off-topic with the tread but can you go further on the WeateRate scam?  I ask because I always thought that a station had to PAY for the title of Most Accurate Forecast.

Thanks.

How did we miss this?!

 

Also NewsActive3’s latest video has lots of WHP and WPTM goodies - including their Third Coast open and a 2001 open! @susquvalleywgal

I reposted the Third Coast open for my pleasure:

 

I loved when WHP CBS21 had the THIRD COAST theme.  I wish they would’ve kept it.  One of those good news themes where you can’t help yourself humming to it from time to time.

Glad it looks like this package is going to be spread throughout most of the group. It looks nice.

Well, WHP has not gotten these new gfx yet ... and probably never well.  They dind’t get the new website template yet!!!

I feel WHP is the ugly Glendive step-child Of Sinclair.

Very beautiful.

Thank you!

Are we going to be able to embed tweets, videos, etc like before?

ABC27 WHTM briefly (very briefly) displayed a new ‘Coming Up Next’ graphic yesterday. Looked 100% better than the package they are doing now. Tried to get a image but their website watch live page was acting up and couldn’t get it in time.

Also progress on their new studio is coming along, slowly but surely. Not sure when it’s going to be ready. I say early 2019 ... The attached photo is from their NEST live camera they have had set up for a while now. Link to that at ABC27’s website.

Progress.

— Matt

If NBC were to replace Letster any thoughts on who they would replace him with?

Ideally ... Brian Williams. It’s called redemption.

— Matt

That’s the standard graphic they use when reporting on something owned by Disney or during a sponsored segment.

Gotcha. Thx for clarifying.

New GMA gfx on the way?

— Matt

Found a WCVB newscast from early 2004 from when they were using the camera mandate with the Newsmusic Central package.

 

Love the flame or whatever you call that goes into the 5. Love this open.

— Matt

As I mentioned the the chat box, changes are happening at abc27 WHTM. They dropped WORKING FOR YOU for a far more generic YOUR LOCAL NEWS SOURCE. And they also dropped their STORM TRACK WEATHER for a mouthful YOUR MOST ACCURATE LOCAL FORECAST.

Rough night for those working at abc27 WHTM. Their AC is out.

— Matt

And it won't shock me if CBS decides to suspended or cease news operations at the station. CBS shouldn't be spending money on a news operation that's in last place.

Highly doubt that will happen in a Top 10 Market. This is not Detroit.

Besides ... the News watch, never stops! Wait. That’s on the radio side. Lol

WTAE’s former chief meteorologist Joe DeNardo has passed away 87 per a push alert.

Joe Said It Would.
