C Block 1574 Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 I can confirm that as of tonight, KNTV is using their new graphics. EDIT: Whoops, I did not see the post above. Sorry about that.

Weeters 1981 Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Word is that WVIT debut the graphics today too. Chyron posted a picture on their facebook page.

Yes, they did... http://www.ustream.t...nbc-connecticut I don't recall what they had before, but they are now using a reorchestrated version of the WNBC theme.
TennTV1983 811 Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Yes, they did... http://www.ustream.t...nbc-connecticut I don't recall what they had before, but they are now using a reorchestrated version of the WNBC theme. By the sound of things, they're using a combination of cuts from older parts of the NBC Collection in addition to the newer ones.
rah6448 21 Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Have you guys seen this? I know it may not be related to new graphics, but WRC looks to have acquired a new desk:
rah6448 21 Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Ok....that did not embed well/ the way I wanted to upload it....any suggestions?
groupwfan 97 Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Word is that WVIT debut the graphics today too. Chyron posted a picture on their facebook page. That's awesome. Glad that Thirty got new GFX, can't wait for 'CAU to get these, too!
detroiter313 181 Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 I wonder if WNBC will adopt the new graphics too, otherwise they have been known to adopt their own graphics for its newscasts, despite being the flagship station of the network.
qunewsguy 380 Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 New graphics look good on WVIT, but they're still using a VERY blue peacock from their 2000 Giant Octopus graphics as a looping animation in their projection screen. *headslap*
mark 55 Posted January 31, 2012 Author Posted January 31, 2012 Ok....that did not embed well/ the way I wanted to upload it....any suggestions? You can see WRC's new desk here: http://www.nbcwashington.com/video/#!/video/clearchannel/David-Gregory-on-GOP-Race/138285114 I think it looks great!
compubit 676 Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 You can see WRC's new desk here: http://www.nbcwashington.com/video/#!/video/clearchannel/David-Gregory-on-GOP-Race/138285114 I think it looks great! I was wondering if some changes are in store: the 11pm weeknight open is using a different cut of NBC Stations - without the "Working for You" theme and a stretched (4x3 -> 16x9) short open. Plus they've been running some different L3s during the Decision 2012 packages (albeit using Arial Bold). Now a new desk... Haven't checked out any other day parts, as I'm at work at the time... Jim

Jim No more "Working for You" signature? Say it ain't so!
abric 186 Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Speaking of WRC, it looks like they are next to getting the new graphics. Right now only the weather graphics have changed this morning. UPDATE: As of 11:00 a.m. this morning, WRC launched the new ArtWorks graphics package. They teased the new graphics this morning with mostly the weather graphics. The music open is a return to the NBC Collection with Working for You signature first used in 2008 before the HD launch with the open music that was used on KXAS and KNSD. The launch this morning during their midday newscast is the same way that they launched in high defintion in April 2010.
Jess 1115 Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 So let's run the tally, shall we? Keep in mind I'm just assuming the letter designations for everything but Look G, because people keep referring to the KNSD graphics as Look G when that's apparently the designation for KXAS' graphics. LOOK E (Block logo look) KNSD LOOK F (Blue/White peacock) KNTV KNBC (modified with yellow accents; no serif font) WVIT WRC LOOK G (peacock colored bars) KXAS STILL WAITING: WNBC WMAQ WCAU WTVJ The first three on that last list look to be leaning Look F; I have no idea what TVJ will do, as they're still using block promo elements.
bhratbrat 437 Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Hulkie, noone knows what WTVJ is doing? I could dare e-mail them. They also made a lot of modifications to Look C and considering how they were the last to get Look C due to the whole we are on sale thing, I think they might just keep it for now. The set is over 11 years old and there is really nowhere they can even do a temp. newscast at this point with Telemundo using the other studio space that WTVJ currently has. They put up a new duratran last year but that was really the only thing they did. I guess move the newscasts to the newsroom (which the set opens up too) and then try to get something with the new look whichever way they go. I would probably say if I was a betting man it would probably steer more to the Look E but I might just say they keep C2 through 2012.
Jess 1115 Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Updated tally: LOOK E (Block logo look) KNSD LOOK F (Blue/White peacock) KNTV KNBC (modified with yellow accents; no serif font) WVIT WRC LOOK F IF YOU KINDA SQUINT AND TURN YOUR HEAD LIKE THIS: WCAU LOOK G (peacock colored bars) KXAS STILL WAITING: WNBC WMAQ WTVJ
groupwfan 97 Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 I could see WTVJ doing another WCAU-style modification of the Look F opens since 'TVJ took a page of 10's book when they got Look C and modified that GFX left and right. Oh and kudos to WRC in The District on keeping their Working 4 You sig on the music while adapting Look F.
bammy9 26 Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 'TVJ might get Look F, but I highly doubt it because the graphics (in my opinion) don't fit South Florida one bit! I think 'TVJ should get Look G because it's colorful, like SFL at night... WNBC on the other hand, they'll get Look F.
squiggy 10 Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Here's tonight's 6pm open and breaking news from DC:
brb588 115 Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Fantastic. WMAQ is well overdue for some graphics like these.
