The weekend morning promos usually air Friday and Saturday nights during Eyewitness News at 11pm. Good promo, it has just the right theme for weekend mornings.

wabceyewitness 818 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I like it... It's fresh and modern.. seems like something you would see on KABC out in L.A.

24994J 5577 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I looked back a ways, and it appears that this little Facebook news brief by Eyewitness News debuted today. Only 39 seconds long, this quick update (visually branded as ABC7 To Go, with no verbal mention) features a very flat & simplistic, yet familiar & attractive graphical look, not unlike the above promo. Whether or not it turns into a full package for the main newscasts, I highly doubt it. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152678976134091&permPage=1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11653-wabc-7-eyewitness-news/page/29/#findComment-121322 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were used in a recent tease for the 11pm show. These graphics look really good, I wouldn't mind them turning into a package. They call this Eyewitness News Quickcast, just like WNT Facecast.

NYNewser_676 26 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I was trying to figure out why the quick cast graphics look familiar... and then it hit me... They are basically just a bigger version of the PIX11 graphics package... flat, boring L3 bar with a line at the end and the info bar above the L3. This particular graphic mini package looks way too basic and huge to be an on-air package, but the general direction of the new promos and the quick cast is intuitive and tasteful renditions of the flat-UI look. Wouldn't be surprised to see new on-air graphics this year ... this August will be 4 years with the package.

NYNewsCoverage 300 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Well doesn't this "new" feature look familiar (especially if you watch a channel just a little further down the dial). Just another classic example of stations constantly copying after eachother. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152665884034091&set=vb.31160214090&type=3&theater Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11653-wabc-7-eyewitness-news/page/29/#findComment-121335 Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYNewsCoverage 300 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 And what station would that be? 11 I actually wasn't referring to 11, I was referring to 2, with WCBS' new "weather watchers" thing that they promote like crazy, that allows viewers to post their weather data from their location, as well as pictures. Now I'm not saying that you can do so from their weather app (I don't know to be honest), I was just saying that the whole "Eyewitness Weather Watchers" sounds awfully similar to "CBS 2 Weather Watchers", and that seems like that is where they got their idea from.

CBS 2 Weather Watchers lets you post pictures. EWN is literally letting you post weather data and pictures. It's not copying at all.

Ehhh... I misread your down the dial comment. I doubt they are copying that closely. Station groups are rolling these out in general across their stations in some cases so It's not like 2 had a lock on the concept. The name might be a jab at 2 but nothing more.

I would say they're more ignored than neglected. So long as they don't lose/waste money, Disney gives them a lot of leeway.

24994J 5577 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 They deleted it, but WABC asked on Twitter who the Seahawks will play in the Super Bowl, "#Broncos or #Patriots". Yeah, about that.
