NYNewser_676 26 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 New 11pm ID just aired! Looks great! Be on the lookout for new opens tonight. Do you mean the thing where the anchor describes the stories coming later at 11? Or a promo?

RGSJenkins 434 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 It is likely part of a new graphics package, which we have been expecting for about a month now... looks just like the KABC graphic below the bug Am I the only person that thinks it's awfully pretentious to promote the website only as '7online' and not '7online.com'? Why don't they do something like '7on.line' or some crap like that? If they put everything under "7online", shouldn't their hashtag be "#7online" instead of "#EyewitnessNews"?

ABC 7 Denver 1714 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 If they put everything under "7online", shouldn't their hashtag be "#7online" instead of "#EyewitnessNews"? "#EyewitnessNews"... Yeah. Totally propiety to WABC. KYW uses... Oh yeah. EyewitnessNews too. And wouldn't searching for "7online" on Facebook and Twitter easily direct to their pages? No. 7online? Seriously??? Why not ABC7ny.com? Oh wait! They own that... That makes far more sense. (@ABC7NY #ABC7NY, What's the big deal?! Better Branding) I think they chose 7Online for those people who were not familiar with computers to access their website on a computer. Makes no sense!

WABC has a ways to go in social media and website-wise. WCBS and WNBC are way ahead.

StudioTech 15 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I think they chose 7Online for those people who were not familiar with computers to access their website on a computer. Makes no sense! They should've grabbed ABC7.COM before KABC did, but then again KABC has consistently branded themselves as ABC7 since the 90s, while WABC has used that branding sparingly.

Geoffrey 858 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 They've been 7online.com forever. While some stations change their URLs every few years, ABC 7 has kept theirs. There's something to be said for consistency. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11653-wabc-7-eyewitness-news/page/9/#findComment-89994 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshow 166 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 WABC has a ways to go in social media and website-wise. WCBS and WNBC are way ahead. I actually think, WABC iPhone app is way more superior than the WCBS and WNBC app. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11653-wabc-7-eyewitness-news/page/9/#findComment-89996 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabceyewitness 818 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 7online is also a lot easier for an average viewer to remember than ABC7ny... Same reason why they prefer to use Channel 7 over ABC7.

You guys hit the nail on the head. As for using Channel 7 over ABC7, it's also more relatable for viewers. Puts the emphasis on the channel and not the network branding. Less corporate, more personal. That said, they do need to work on brand consistency on social media.

ABC 7 Denver 1714 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Yeah... "WABC-TV Channel 7 Eyewitness News" is a little wordy for their Facebook page. Drop the TV and Channel. Now it becomes "WABC 7 - Eyewitness News". I think that sounds sharp.

BehindNYNews 147 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Looks like Scott Clark is in New York, Diana Williams posted a picture of her and him on twitter. pic.twitter.com/7y3FSeSm88 Drop the TV and Channel. Now it becomes "WABC 7 - Eyewitness News". I think that sounds sharp. I think dropping the Channel part would be very stupid as that is part of there main brand. If anything get rid of WABC-TV and just have Channel 7 Eyewitness News.

anthonyz 26 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Because somebody already claimed "@EyewitnessNews"...and TVNT even follows it. https://twitter.com/eyewitnessnews Doesn't WABC use 7Online as an online identity? Why they don't use it for social media is beyond my thoughts.
