ABC changing their logo; New graphics coming for ABC owned stations
MediaZone4K replied to Briella's topic in Graphics
Diffrent strokes for different folks. I will say, though their current set might be an improvement over the last, and the skyline update is a big help, it remains arguably worst in market. The area where they do 3D weather graphics looks especially cheap. 7 was neck in neck with WNBC for worst set but News 4's recent updates gave them a little advantage. I'd say WCBS still has best the best looking studio. On a positive note, it feels surreal to say, but ABC 7 definitely has the best graphics in NYC now! Love the talent intros instead of the three second openers that have become industry norm. -
I agree with your points. More award shows could stand to take a page from last night. It wasn't trashy like the VMA's and not overly political like the Oscars. It was just about celebrating the craft which is what award shows should be about. The cast reunions were a big part of that.
-
Caught the 7-9 portion of GDNY. Curt seems nice and is definitely capable. The show doesn't feel elevated in any way with the anchor change but it's only day one so we'll see where things go from here.
-
We haven't discussed award shows decline in this thread yet but the Primetime Emmys last night were actually good if anyone saw it! It was a well done retrospective of 75 years of tv with several cast reunions.
-
Have they also updated the skyline backgrop? It seems like it occupies the entire frame now rather the borders of the monitor being visible. The skyline image also seems higher quality. SB: Even though journalistic quality is what matters most, when a newscast's presentation (including it's on air appearance) is just as good, it makes me want to tune in more. Good presentation aids substance.

Yeah, I realize it's been around for a while. I just wanted to find out what they actually meant by that branding. If it was any different from a standard newscast, but apparently it's "faster paced".

Now, time for that abysmal set to get updated when they move HQ. With WNBC's news upgrades, the Eyewitness News set is officially the worst in market. But let that not take away from the victory (dramatic wording lol) of this graphical upgrade. In regards to the announcer's age, couldn't they just keep using his previous intro voice overs for the ones that don't require upgrades? Same sentiment for the late Howard Reig on NBC or Scott Chapin on WSVN. -

Finally the #1 station can start looking like a number one station. Though I prefer the KGO/KABC look, this is far better than anything WABC has had in the last 15 years.
-
Good Lord, finally WABC. This is a massive step up for them but the current KGO/KABC look is better, and IMO would look better as a group package. Here are some stills:
-
Not really. seems like a standard newscast to me. EDIT: Some insight finally, sister station Fox 26 Houston explains their NewsEdge as a faster paced look at local news, so I suppose that means the same thing on WAGA.
-
And this is recent for Fox 4 because during Hurricane Ian in 2022 , they had reporters and anchors doing comprehensive coverage.
-
Looking at FOX4 ft Myers there are no on screen anchors just voice over only MMJ packages and voice over only VO/Sots
-
Overall the new COX look isn't horrendus it's just inconsistent. Most of the graphics are 3-D, but a lot of the lower thirds are flat.

https://youtu.be/h6n4HfsIuK8?si=2JW2sNkrOWuSz49e https://youtu.be/Iy7pMOpTKZU?si=e2wA92zKzGRuZrLw To expand on what I was saying, the package production is not bad at all, especially the reporters stand up in the WPTV video. They have a more corporate PR produced feel, to them, different from a standard fast following newscast package. These feel like short digital documentaries, especially because of their slower tone and camera angles. hard to explain, idk if you see similar things.

I mean Time Period as in year
-
WAGA like other O&O's brands their 11pm newscast as "NewsEdge". Does the branding mean anything? I ask because Fox 5 News Edge at 11 doesnt seem to differ in format from typical newscasts. Confusingly News Edge is also a online news service from the Fox News Channel.
-
This is unfortunate and may provide insight on Strahan's absence. His daughter was diagnosed with a brain tumor.

Branch off from the Atlanta News first thread that eventually became about every station in Atlanta.
-
Out of curiosity, during which time period was this?
-
Don't know where else to post this, but WAGA like many O&O's calls their 11 PM newscast Fox News Edge. Exactly what does that branding mean. News Edge is also apparently it's also an information service from the Fox News Channel.
-
The WSB package would look better as 3D not flat. The Action News Jax look awkwardly mixes the 3D glossy logo with flat L3s. I liked that COX still maintained the 3D look. Hopefully Hearst doesn't go the flat route.
-
I know it was the first respectable amount of snow in 2 years but did the accumulation totals warrant bringing in the weekday team?
-
Outside of Good Day New York, Fox 5 needs to change up it's other anchor lineups, besides what they're doing right now. I would say take some talent from other stations but they tried that with Lori and Sukanya. Perhaps they could try mixing up their newscast formatting. WTTG and WOFL are good examples.
-
But I see what @GodfreyGR was getting, at. It seems both shows are always on past the point of caring anymore, much like The Voice on NBC and The Bachelor on ABC. I don't fault CBS for sticking to what works, but their routine of recycled police procedural franchises and comedies becomes repetitive and generic. I was also surprised at HBO's ratings were that low despite the critical acclaim of a lot of their shows.

As much as I like Sam, and as much star power as he brings to the weatherman role, as an employer I would just get someone who can work full-time rather than hiring a sixth meteorologist. More power to him though for getting that schedule and getting decent time off that a lot of us would wish to have.
