bammy9 26 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I wonder if they will be getting new graphics and new music... Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12013-wsoc-getting-new-set/#findComment-74253 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ntropolis 598 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 http://link.brightco...d=1782775362001 ...a new logo is showed at the end... Not completely new... looks like they're going the WSB route and updating the current one. Which is good, because I hate seeing stations ditching their long-running logos (I'm looking at you, WDBJ) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12013-wsoc-getting-new-set/#findComment-74736 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidwestTV 1234 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Today is the day and here is the tour before the debut of the new set http://www.wsoctv.co...9-studio/vdZgw/ Oh. Wait. So did they actually KEEP the old studio but BUILD an entirely new one just down the hallway a little bit, or was it some trick-er-roo of editing to just make it seem like they did? Cuz if they really did then wow interesting. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12013-wsoc-getting-new-set/#findComment-74990 Share on other sites More sharing options...

swillh2k2 203 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Oh. Wait. So did they actually KEEP the old studio but BUILD an entirely new one just down the hallway a little bit, or was it some trick-er-roo of editing to just make it seem like they did? Cuz if they really did then wow interesting. It's a brand new set built in a separate studio where they filmed a children's program in the '60s and '70s. They were broadcasting in the now "old" set as early as today. http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2012/08/24/3474074/channel-9-launches-new-look-on.html The article also mentions that the new music will be a Gari theme--so it looks like they'll be using Image News outright unless (unlikely) it's a custom theme. Also, the opens were voiced by Scott Chapin, but with his semi-retirement, promos in recent months were done by a younger voice (don't know who). Recent promos have been voice by Bill Ratner so I assume he will be the VO in the new opens.

swillh2k2 203 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 The new set and graphics debuted as scheduled. Definitely Hothaus graphics...the open reminds me a little of KCAL and WCBS before they picked up the standardized version. No overwhelming changes to the L3s and OTS...same font but they added some new effects and made them more rectangular. Logo is "thicker" and has an outline around it. They did pick up Image News (with the "newer" cuts) w/ Bill Ratner as VO. Video later...unfortunately I couldn't get my tuner set up in time so I had to record it on my phone.

Guest NewsHound Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Graphics, new logo, etc. I absolutely love. Bill Ratner is a great voiceover as well. Image News... eh. -.- It's not WSOC... They also seem to use the same cut of music for every single open from what little I've seen so far. It's no Bold Branding News. If they were smart, they would have had BBN updated...that was their signature.
