Why can't other stations bring back old themes?
-
I'm a traditional TV lover and I also have a few of the streamers in my house. How much money would you say in the ballpark what the broadcast model is making compared to the first decade or so of it's existence? It's all relative numbers anyway.

I was sort of getting at the subtle "Your flashy CGI graphics are cluttered crap and European style rules" crowd. Wanting everything to be like Europe is becoming almost overrated (this is addressed to American TV graphics specifically as I know that there are many Europeans on here too). Not saying it can't go too far the other way either, like WSVN/WHDH in the 90s and early 00s with their over-the-top tabloid format.

I have to argue that today's main design trend is almost a regression in terms of technical capabilities. Yet there seems to be many non-flat haters out there.

I will say this...both and all sides have their issues.

Well I do agree that a lot of TV and film push the politics of their creators to some degree, like Family Guy is one example. Now, content made just to do little more than shock is about half of what is on TV and film these days. Most shows in the adult animated genre have the same plot/character cliches and social/political statement humor (like inserting "God is just that big monster in the sky" every other week). I'm not very strict or religious, but it's truth that movies and especially TV is gratuitously "risque" lately.

I think a lot of the issues with creative quality is the big element of industry politics being involved. Yeah. Digital isn't always better in my opinion.

In Erie, longtime WICU (now WICU/WSEE "Erie News Now") chief engineer Mike Csop passes on at 94 on Thu. Dec 3: https://www.erienewsnow.com/story/43002354/michael-csop-wicutvs-first-chief-engineer-dies-at-94

That was...unique.

Maybe this is already posted on here, but this is a more rare arrangement of the 1981 "Our Pride Is Showing" campaign for NBC (localized by KGW-8 from Portland, Oregon). https://youtu.be/zIcpigDKEvc?t=29

CapsGM, I don't remember seeing you here in a while!

John Young replaced by other announcers

I always thought he did an interesting VO work. Too bad, I also prefer the more traditional VO style. -
Well, I guess that is market #161 for you.
-
I don't think it looks that bad at all.

WSEE/Erie "Hello Erie" 1983 spot
-
WICU Erie NewsCenter 12 (10/1992)
-
MCTYW actually goes pretty well with the "Balls & Walls" opening. That's not a joke.
-
The logos for both stations are now the generic NBC and CBS logos with the plain call letters next to it. Even more bland and worse than it was before.
-
Here's a small TV note: Lilly/SJL's WICU and WSEE in Erie, PA since having produced a joint newscast have also began ID'ing on-air both as simply "WICU" and "WSEE" with no channel number, at least like at the end of syndicated promos and common stuff.
-
I know this is music/VO but WBTV has one of the most distinct graphics packages.
-
Starts at 1:13:52 1987 Erie market local high school basketball broadcast by WICU/12. Do you hear any familiar music?
-
God, that open is ridiculous.
-
Yeah, sort of. Who is Paul Anthony? Edit: Ah, I figured it out again. /embarrassing

Discovered composers & publishers of music themes
Brain replied to promoguy98's topic in News Music & Voiceovers
I'd say before 1995--that old '20th Television Fox' is rarely seen on television now.
