    WVIT finally launched the new look this week.

    CBS affiliate AM crawls are all inserted locally with a "suggested" font only. In addition, morning tickers aren't mandatory and some stations may not have the equipment to put them to air or properly trigger them. Stations were literally sent a PNG base file with font sizes and logo positioning.

    I'm sure some of this is comp time from storm coverage, etc as well. It's normal.

    That's likely done in-house. Doesn't have any of the telltale flourishes of any of the major firms. By the late 90's AfterEffects was available to most individual stations' art departments.

    At least it matches the cheesiness of WABC's graphics now.

    Local content is more lucrative than syndicated, and what's being shopped around for syndication isn't great.

    Same but I think they did it better 20 years ago
  8. qunewsguy
    and this has what to do with graphics?

    Sounds like generic production music to me.

    The current set is as old as the building sans the additions of a couple extra monitor arrasys, so it's definitely time for a full rebuild for them.

    A nice, lighter update for sure! No change at WVIT yet but I'm guessing they'll wait til their new set debuts to roll this out.

    Yep! We still have all 100 deliverables CD's for the 2002 WFSB graphics package as well. Ah, those were the days...

    1998 WDIV was done by TVBD. There is one brief version of their 1998 site that was never archived (also featured the original HD launch graphics done for KRON).

    LoConte Goldman's website used to be great but I can't remember the address anymore so I can't find it on archive.org Also I see on Linda Kane's site that she has some early pitches for the WBZ 2000-era graphics. Given that those were done by Viewpoint Studios (which is still around) I have to assume she was a contract employee for them at the time.

    How to tell we've been news gfx geeks for wayyyyyy too long

    WLBT looks more like Giant Octopus' work at the time (WBNS, etc) than Cinemagic. Cinemagic had a very unique high-gloss style.

    https://web.archive.org/web/19980110120633/http://tvbd.com/tvbd_news.htm "Balls and Walls" was TVBD and a second version was developed in the early 2000's for then-WOKR in Rochester. TVBD's site used to have a GREAT timeline of station work and packages.

    Identical? Can I interest you in a new pair of glasses?
  20. qunewsguy
    Looks like WAVE is about to lose their custom look...
  21. qunewsguy
    The plexi skyline backdrop from this set still exists and it's actually installed in current anchor Dennis House's attic.

    Going allllll the way back to page one of this thread, WOIO's look has been claimed by Matt Quinn, who also does work with Hothaus (explaining why it's so similar to other Hothaus packages but not an official one). https://mattquinncreative.com/woio-cleveland
  23. qunewsguy
    The big question: will they finally drop MCTYW?
  24. qunewsguy
    That Mass Lottery music at 19:30... oh my God I'd forgotten all about that!!!!!!!
  25. qunewsguy
    That's going to be interesting to see what they do considering WHCT doesn't even have must-carry status anymore.
