  1. This may have been mentioned already but I haven’t seen it before… KMTV has a nice evolution on the Scripps package (7:12 into this clip montage) Are other stations using this look?
  2. Yeah, this is pretty terrible. What were they thinking?!
  3. With CMG starting up a graphics hub in Atlanta last year, I guess this is the new group look? Otherwise it doesn’t make a ton of sense to launch something new at WSB if a group look is coming?
  4. Oh great. Now where am I going to find out the latest in vinyl flooring or mortgage rates?
  5. Feels more like an election year cash grab.
  6. New WRC/T44 newsroom looks nice.
  7. Local television news isn’t journalism. It’s a business.
  8. While a refresh was somewhat needed, this feels more like a mockup of a design you'd find on this forum than something worthy of cable news. I mean, it's not bad... but... it's not really all that good either? Of course, I'm commenting having only seen just this one screenshot...
  9. You're confusing the viewers commenting on that video with the members on this site. What is it exactly that you think they are trying that is modern? Your next sentence talks about "modernizing their logo" but they literally copied a logo that was used in Miami in the 80s.
  10. The viewers in St. Louis have spoken… they hate the new brand. https://fb.watch/oQ4xwXcG2n/?
  11. That live update open is slick. Love how they kinda echo the ABC Times Square studio exterior.
  12. Why is that, by the way?
  13. For what it’s worth, this is actual reported news… not fanboy speculation that I believe that particular forum is for. That said, I’m sure no one on here will be able to resist adding their own ideas.
  14. Is there a site that tracks retrans disputes and how long they go on for?
  15. I think KMBC is the First Alert station in Kansas City
  16. Now if they only hadn’t fired all of their designers who would be able to help build the 3D models to make this thing worthwhile… Nah. I’m sure that weather guy is a pro designer and can really make this thing sing.
  17. Has anyone shared the new KMAX logo yet?
  18. Glad to see Matthew Keys out of prison… again… Several station groups have GMs who also serve as regional VPs. I don’t know that this means they are getting rid of that position altogether. Edit: He just updated his bullshit story. Scripps denied the rumors of the layoffs.
  19. Just a total guess but it’s likely they’re also upgrading CG systems at the same time, which takes time to install and test before going on air with. I think they are a mix of Vertigo and Viz and who knows what else, they could be trying to upgrade stations to the same system which makes transferring templates easier.
  20. It is.
  21. This actually looks really nice. Kinda reminds me of the GMA look but not as cheap/sloppy. I thought they just relaunched their look but I checked The Other Site and the last redesign was May 2021… so I guess it’s been a few years.
  22. Actually, it’s that logic that’s killing TV news… Anyway, here’s an article from Deadline on this: https://deadline.com/2023/06/missing-sub-news-nation-oxygen-remaining-countdown-clock-1235422766/ I think the most interesting takeaway here is that there are people out there who watch News Nation.
  23. Obviously it has real time data - I meant “fake” in a more general sense, just questioning the design rationale behind it. It’s a lot of effort for such a little throwaway design element. I saw this on the NS write up and felt the same - would have made for a much cleaner open. There’s just too much to look at now.
  24. The insert graphics are decent. The opens have a lot going on in them, I'm not sure I need a fake ticker and time/temp, but hey - props for trying something new. It's not the best O&O package out there but certainly not the worst and I think definitely an improvement over what most of the ABC O&Os have on the air now. Odd choice though going back to a very dated-sounding (well, it is dated, it's from the 90s) music bed... clearly they didn't want to spend the $20-30k for a few new opens/bumps?
  25. This is a very naive take on the situation. The folks who were let go were incredibly talented. @Geoffrey is correct in that they’re keeping a select few, the only new hire is the vp/group design. Also - what a shitty move, not promoting from within for that role with a very qualified pool of candidates.
