That tagline is hideous... "On Air, Online, On MOBILE"... ick

I was just looking at the WQAD website I couldn't find the weather graphics that you're talking about, from what I saw they were still using the Tribune package for Weather.

 

I keep forgetting to update the Standard-Tegna situation so here's the follow-up on that.

 

In addition to filling the proxy statement, Standard has nominated 2 other people besides Deb McDermott and Larry Wert (which has been mentioned previously in this thread) they are Colleen Brown and Ellen McClain Haime.

 

So Standard General is continuing to put pressure on Tegna as more companies make offers for the 62 TV stations which puts Tegna in a situation that they can't get out of no matter what.

Go to the maps & radar section of the weather page... all the maps except the 7-day are tegna-fied

I am assuming that WQAD is next to be TEGNA-fied... Looking on their website tonight, even though on air, they have Tribune graphics, most of the weather maps online are TEGNA-fied

The only thing I'm not liking about the latest package/update is in the weather Upper 3rds... The Weather Logos aren't meshing well... especially those with that silvery border... looks out of place

WZDX Fox in Huntsville made the switch to the new website layout today and kept its, rocketcitynow.com address. This means, as far as I know, WATN in Memphis is the only one of the Nexstar purchase stations that still has not made the switch. I am sure it will be any day now. 

 

WATN now has the new Tegna layout... kept the same localmemphis.com address.  Surprisingly they kept the logo in tact, just made it linear..

WOI also has the latest version of the Tegna websites and app that are slowly rolling out... 

Looks like when the Tegna graphics debut, the open will feature We Are Iowa (at least from what is seen in the app when it opens)

Basically KFMB but with ABC instead of CBS eye

It's been this way for a little while now... At least 2 months... Very sad

Bill is a legend here in GR :_)

WOOD TV's Marlee Ginter has revealed that she is on her way to KOVR in Sacramento... She left WOOD 12/20

I just wonder if Lansing, Michigan Scripps owned WSYM TV plan on getting the new scripps look, or will they be stuck with the clunky Gray look [Gray's lansing,michigan NBC station WILX TV produces FOX47NEWS]

Yeah being Gray operated, they will go with whatever Gray uses for WILX most likely when they update them...

Primetime News has been in use with WOOD for 25 years... They use so many different cuts but each one sounds current and catchy....  It can be done with the right package...

I wonder if KNXV here in Phoenix will get an updated logo... Since WMAR let go of their version, I don't think the black and yellow would look as good here...

I wouldn't mind a variation of this 1995-97 logo:

I am disappointed in the shades of blue chosen... But the music is awesome

Also on a side note....

WXMI got the Scripps web layout yesterday -- but the logo is now missing the Fox Searchlights

Old:

New:

WXMI and WPIX has now gone from the Tribune web layout to the Scripps layout

http://www.fox17online.com

http://www.pix11.com

Also, the WXMI logo no longer has the Fox Searchlights in the 17 box...

So I'm trying to find if this was mentioned someplace, but I can't see anything so I'll post here...

A while back, there was a discussion about how WISH had dropped the 24-hour news moniker... Well it now looks like WOOD is now dropping it as well... While watching the news today I noticed the reporters are now signing off as "Reporter Name, News 8" instead of "Reporter Name, 24-hour News 8".  Now granted their LL Bean jackets still show 24-hour News 8, but I do believe that the 24-hour news moniker is now gone... I am sad

I'm sure they'll move KASW to KNXV in due time.. I know where both stations are and it's a decent drive between the two... KASW is located at 7th St. and Missouri, while KNXV is at 44th st and Washington, near Loop 202.  Makes sense to condense it to KNXV

Love love LOVE WAVE's new graphics!! Definitely should roll out to others!

the graphics in action

 

 

I don't like the "comment box" at all in the open It's placement is random. I also don't like the use of the comment box during the newscast either. A simple white rectangle would have been fine.

 

I also don't like the font they are using

 

overall this package is a good starting point. hopefully they can make some improvements before it's wider rollout

It's the same font Scripps and most stations are now/have been using: Proxima...  It's just a thinner version of it... 

I honestly think it's not half bad... Does it need work? Absolutely.  But so glad they only rolled it out to one market and a market that isn't major.  I applaud Scripps for choosing a smaller market to test this out in.  Let's hope the package improves as they roll out.  The music isn't bad either. 

WTF Gray -- Come on now... 

Out of curiosity do we know why it's taking so long for WTHR and WBNS to be "Tegna-fied"?? I know when they acquired KFMB it didn't take 4 months... I'm not expecting the newly acquired properties to get it for some time....

I wonder if they'll do a West Michigan Now branding for WWMT??

I see the WLUK also has the augmented reality for their weather graphics... does any other Sinclair stations have this??

Speaking of WDBJ I wish more Gray stations would pick up their graphics package, especially their weather graphics... I think the Raycom stations would've looked better with that packaage
