capsgm2002 65 Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 In a market that has seen very little changes in the past decade, WJET is getting a new set, as the set with the Flagship Niagara they've used for the better part of 10 years, and the newscasts are being done in front of a chromakey background with an extreme closeup, so it looks pretty weird. FOX 66 will get a new set also, rather than using the WJET set. The new set should debut by the end of the month or in early-July. I wonder if they'll get rid of Palmer News Package also, they've used it for 12 years and one of the few stations to still use it. Meanwhile, WICU/WSEE rolled out a new website last week at www.erietvnews.com. They still have separate newscasts (I'm not sure why, as WSEE has to tape their 6pm at 4pm and 11pm is done live at 10pm on the CW) but apparently a new control room is on the way for WSEE. Still, it's better than another newscast going to the wayside.
Oprah 10 Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 It would be cooler if WSET got a new jet. Just sayin'.
capsgm2002 65 Posted June 15, 2011 Author Posted June 15, 2011 I've heard WJET is getting new graphics also, which are long overdue. Nexstar has an agreement with Stephen Arnold Music so I wouldn't be surprised if they dropped PNP. WFXP used The X Package until the end of 2010 because the royalties increased, and they now use Extreme.
Ntropolis 598 Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Nexstar has an agreement with Stephen Arnold Music so I wouldn't be surprised if they dropped PNP. "Locals Only" lol
capsgm2002 65 Posted June 16, 2011 Author Posted June 16, 2011 "Locals Only" lol Oh yuck, that would be awful.
Viper550 292 Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Oh yuck, that would be awful. Going from Enforcer to that. That would be definitely most awful
capsgm2002 65 Posted June 16, 2011 Author Posted June 16, 2011 Going from Enforcer to that. That would be definitely most awful PNP is a classic, no doubt. They'll even have the long close on from time to time on Friday newscast. I'm hoping they'll get Metropolis or U-Phonix.
capsgm2002 65 Posted June 28, 2011 Author Posted June 28, 2011 They showed some glimpses of the new set today... doesn't look too bad. Launch date is by the end of this week. I'll try to get pics when the new look debuts. http://yourerie.com/fulltext/?nxd_id=180937 [ATTACH]981.IPB[/ATTACH] EDIT: Looks like they're gonna go heavy with the blue/red look after years of using yellow... I wouldn't be surprised if their 30+ year old logo goes by the wayside.
capsgm2002 65 Posted June 30, 2011 Author Posted June 30, 2011 They showed the new logo during a commercial break... not bad at all and a much needed upgrade over the one they've used since 1980. They're also going to go by "JET 24" rather than JET-TV as they have since 1999. [ATTACH]982.IPB[/ATTACH] EDIT: New look is being rolled out slowly. The noon newscast has updated weather graphics, but nothing else has changed. The old logo is still being used. The weather graphics look very nice. JET Pinpoint Weather will become "Your Weather Authority". I don't have a capture card so I have cell phone photos. I apologize for the quality. Forecast First segment. Current Conditions Temperature Maps, colors correspondent Dew Points Tonight's Forecast Tomorrow's Forecast 7-Day Forecast The weather graphics are already a huge upgrade over what they had I can't wait to see the rest of the new look!

The new weather graphics look like those used by the local stations of Canada's Global TV.
who?cares 255 Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 It's the package that Nexstar has been rolling out at it's not NBC stations.
Samantha 2898 Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 WNJU and KTAZ (Telemundo) also use it. I have a KTAZ 2011 newscast and a KTVW 2011 newscast, but no capture card. KTAZ is not using the Telemundo News Theme.
swillh2k2 203 Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 I have a feeling that they won't be using PNP with this package. If they want some air of familiarity, they may just switch to Enforcer.
capsgm2002 65 Posted July 7, 2011 Author Posted July 7, 2011 New graphics and music rolled out today. The new look would be good for a Top-25 market. New theme is News Matrix, which is one of the Arnold themes I actually like. No complaints about any of the changes, it's a huge upgrade. Even better, Ray Otis is still the voiceover.
capsgm2002 65 Posted July 8, 2011 Author Posted July 8, 2011 Here's a video about the new look: http://yourerie.com/fulltext/?nxd_id=182307
