    I grew up in Dorr -- half way between Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo. Before cable/satelitte came our way, I could always get WOOD-TV by antenna no problem. WZZM I got 90% of the time. WWMT I had a very hard time to get... Kalamzoo/Battle Creek is one of those "sub-markets" were they can be serviced by a number of larger markets surrounding them... That's why I'm shocked to see WWMT at #2... Although I do see that WZZM and WWMT are struggling to find decent talent for mornings and evenings... The only name I recognize at WZZM now is Juliet Dragos and George Lessens... WWMT I only recognize Chief Met Keith Thompson... But I am curious to see if Byron can pull WZZM out of their rut.. I know in the early 2000s, they seemed to be giving WOOD-TV a run for their money...

    IF they were, they won't be for much longer... WWMT is now down to 8 people I think? Christina Anthony left in November and they most likely won't replace her... Chief Keith Thompson is all over the place filling in... They have 2-3 reporters and focus way too much on Kalamazoo/Battle Creek for any GR viewers to care... My dream wish would be for Hearst to pick up WZZM somehow...

    WLUC in Marquette upgraded to these just a couple years ago... It's bad enough they can't decide on a temperature for the 7-Day... But heck anything that Gray offers now would be a vast improvement.. Especially since WJMN and WZMQ have better graphics...

    I just don't see good things happening... I wonder if WZZM cna stay in 2nd place with him...

    I just realized why the new 3 for KYW looked familiar... It's used by Sinclair's KTVO

    When I think Byron Allen, I think of his Entertainment Studios show from years ago that would be on before the morning news. And those shows were meh at best.. So to consider him a top rate broadcaster would take some time...

    OMG ABC O&O has got to be the slowest ever in rolling out stuff... This has been going on for way too long. We've been talking about this for 2 frickin' years and barely 1/2 the stations have flipped to the new weather graphics...

    Thank you Captain Obvious

    They look great... although if they do ditch Chroma Cues altogether, I wonder if we'll have another round of riots??

    ... and the failed Black News Channel

    I'm going with WJZ only because it took forever to switch to the now old package... might as well get as much use out of it before switching again.

    the CBS eye and the 3 together seem awful small in the box...
  13. MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie
    The 5 needs to be wider... just like sister station KVVU in Vegas.. Both need to be wider.. not wide enough

    After watching all of the newscasts for the past month or so, I will agree that this is a refreshing take on the local news. Yes they still have some flaws/kinks/etc to work out, but overall a very solid local news content.

    This package by far is the best one that Gray has pushed out... I do agree that the Barlow series font isn't the greatest choice, but it's so much better than plain Arial/Helvetica...
  16. MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie
    That 3 is god awful and has no belonging there... please please please let's hope it's not used
  17. MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie
    Weather graphics haven't switched yet... I'm assuming they'll come this evening..
  18. MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie
    I will agree with this... But like also mentioned, the locals like it THEIR way... It's like WNEP and the 70's Move Closer theme.. Change it and death ensues

    Flint, MI duopoly WEYI/WSMH are supposedly on the chopping block as well, although it hasn't been verified yet (reader reported)
  20. MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie
    Definitely has the WANF vibe to it
  21. MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie
    This is a needed thing... I'm excited to see what they do with all that extra space
  22. MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie
    Based on a photo further up, we have CBS Philadelphia for KYW

    It's sad that you have to go online/app to get full screen weather graphics... The ridiculous stand next to a TV is a joke... Can't see crap when they do that... I actually like the graphics.. As long as they are full screen
  24. MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie
    Based on the pictures and video, this is proven false... KCAL News it is
  25. MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie
    I stand by my post. End of story. I was merely putting my two cents worth in.. I wasn't meaning to start an "affiliate-by-affiliate thread". Sometimes the moderators get power hungry on here and I believe this was the case.
