That looks like an ESPN stock graphic with a font change.

That's what immediately came to mind when I first saw it- but the font is what threw me.

WABC Marathon Special- the graphics look very different from everything they currently have- fonts, everything. Possible change, or just for the special? http://twitter.com/NYNewser/status/396784405781704704/photo/1

If the WABC one didn't have that weird swivel animation, the box itself isn't that bad- it's just the swivel!!

I know there is a forum just for this... But just in case:

"WABC's Phil Lipof is going to WCVB Boston"

(It was reported first by Tvspy)

Apparently the morning producer for WABC just confirmed on Twitter that there won't be new graphics, just updated talent opens.

Or have it built into the L3 graphic like WCBS

It looks so strange because it's just text floating- they should have some sort of box around it like WNBC & WABC

If you look closely, the red part of the debate graphics (which displayed the person's name) looks like the "tab" which is on the upper left of the lower thirds, which says "breaking news" or on weekends, it displays the date during the headline open... and the blue part of the debate graphics (which says the person's title or organization) is also a tab format from the current package- the blue one actually looks like the graphic they use in the lower left when the video says "courtesy NBC Sports" for a sports report or something... and another thing is that the fonts are exactly the same.

I never questioned your authority or knowledge (or didn't mean to anyway), I am just questioning how the new graphics could be the debate graphics which are so similar to the current package. The font, the shape- everything.

I get that things change constantly, but I really just find it hard to believe that new graphics aren't really a change at all.

Stupid question- what is a chyron?

Edit: Never mind, found it... But the L3's of the debate graphics look like they come from the current graphics package, and there were no OTS graphics for the debates...

All of the ABC O&Os, including WABC, have updated their website video systems, to the same system as their recently updated live streams. Story videos are now in HD, and have closed captioning built in to the player, and can be enabled by clicking on the dialogue box on the lower panel of the video box.

 

WABC added a telestrator to their helicopter. Shannon called it Skywriter 7.

 

They added that about a month ago- all three chopper reporters have been using it and calling it "SkyWriter 7." They use it to point out specifics in a wide pan shot- like to draw attention to a specific car in an accident, etc.

WABC's Diana Williams will have an exclusive one-on-one interview tomorrow (Tuesday, 10/15) with President Barack Obama.

Just saw the new promo for Eyewitness News Sunday morning .. Same as the new 11pm, only with lighter colors

Just saw a WABC station ID that I haven't seen before... seemed similar to what the ID is now, but the might have changed the slogan- this one said "The most watched television station in the nation, you're watching Channel 7. Number one in New York."

Yeah- false alarm everyone... The "leaked" graphics last night weren't new, they were the graphics WABC usually uses during medical reports... Nothing new at WABC yet.

URGENT TO DVR USERS: If anyone is able to rewind their DVR to Jim Dolan's live shot from Washington and find the apparent graphics leak, that would be appreciated for this forum! I usually can go back but my set top box won't let me...

Okay...comparing the two, it doesn't look as similar as I previously thought... but the new Top Story graphic was undoubtedly modeled after the 2013 WABC Primary Vote open... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzXyE2vwegE... It has many similarities, such as the fly in and the color scheme

That's not a very well done graphic. The animation is basic and not smooth at all. I'm thinking it was done in-house. Would be extremely shocked if that was done by a graphics house.

It's actually similar to the ABC World News graphics- the 3D box package... Looks too intricate to be done in house

A promo for WABC's breast cancer special just aired... with a possible preview of new graphics? It may just be one of their special graphics, like they did for the Mayoral & Comptroller debates, but something to ponder... Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQ1Vf__SsJU (Don't pay attention to the background noise, unrelated to the promo)

It looks very Hothaus-ish...

They just happened to do the latest KABC design... Possible similarity to the KABC graphics?

 

CBS knocks off NBC Look F and WABC knocks off Scripps? Well at least the latter is fitting as the majority of the Scripps stations are ABC affiliates.

 

I don't think that it looks like Scripps at all... I just compared it to WEWS, and it looks completely different.

The new graphic can also be seen on this video from 7online: http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/video?id=9267919
