Also looking at the case study now, if that's a copy that's a damn good one. But it's definitely a mash-up of WFLA 2016, Linear Drift's WISH pack, and a teeny bit of inspiration drawn from Meredith stations lowers. I'm almost concerned that the WFLA 2016 elements though are TOO good, like somehow Mr. Bresnen has the original AE files and just tweaked it ever so slightly.

 

There again, it's honestly not a novel concept. There are elements of Jeff Sneed's Look N for WSMV that look completely ripped from ArtHouse AE files.

 

And do I need to bring up Meredith again? Hell, anyone can request or purchase AE files. Matt Quinn did not design the WSMV version of the WOIO package, the files were purchased and then brought in house and modified, and modified, and modified. Until you basically have what we have now. Note, Matt Quinn takes credit for the original WOIO version but not the WSMV version and subsequently not the Meredith stations version.

Jeff Steed was a lead designer on Look N (expanding on Craig Stouffer's design) and most of the packages for the Arthouse. He left the Arthouse to head the Belo hub and then when they were bought by Tegna he worked almost exclusively for Hothaus. He also worked with Matt Quin to launch the Meredith hub. Look at his site, it's full of Hothaus work.  https://jeffsteed.myportfolio.com/
