MorningNews 1549 Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 I have a question for those who watch Today. I normally will check out the show during commercial breaks of Good Morning America and every single time I tune in, Matt Lauer is no where to be found! It's always Willie or David. Does Matt have every other week off?
anthonyz 27 Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Matt is on the 7AM and 8AM hours. Matt is on vacation this week.
Ntropolis 600 Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Yes, Matt's on vacation. Just saw a segment on "Extra"... new executive producer Don Nash mentioned graphic and set changes in 2013. Stay tuned...
TVNewsWatcher 6 Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Graphics and a new set won't help those ratings..... Lol

Stay tuned... New graphics? But they just GOT new graphics, whether they be a refresh of the previous package or not. The set is in a dire need of a makeover though.
Action Newsroom 1325 Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 New graphics? But they just GOT new graphics, whether they be a refresh of the previous package or not. The set is in a dire need of a makeover though. I think to me they look like a refresh, because of the positioning of the L3s and the open.

Stay tuned... Surprised nobody mentioned this, but this morning on Today they had a new desk. It was a bit bigger than the old, which is good since I thought it was tacky that the two chairs on either end were always sticking out so far from the desk. The desk does look better. It has a white Today logo on the top and a monitor (plasma?) on the front. Jenna Wolf did the news from the main desk and they used OTS graphics, which were new.

They've had it for several weeks now, but they only use it on the weekends. I'm pretty sure it was mentioned here before.
24994J 5684 Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 The new 4-spot desk has been adopted for the weekday broadcast. Natalie is doing the news at the desk.

24994J 5684 Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Sort of like what Josh Elliott does on GMA? Yep, and as Jenna's been doing on Weekend Today for months.

Ntropolis 600 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 New lower thirds this morning. They're a bit more traditional looking.
ProButtonPusher 230 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 New lower thirds this morning. They're a bit more traditional looking. They look strange. Everything else is the same as it was before, including the ticker/bug. Earlier, they had a double-box, and the new Breaking News banner was almost covering the locator font on the left-side box. Also, the crawl area doesn't line-up with the bottom of the super. It almost looks like they were built with a change of everything else in mind...and perhaps the return of a right-side time/temp bug.
24994J 5684 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 They're pretty nice, though the proportions of each line seems weird. The bright colors are a nice change and a good base to build around...but, GOOD GOD! Change everything at once, not just one thing at a time!
c.alexbrown 8 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I HATE THE NEW LOWER THIRD! It's just the blue that is throwing me off..... It finally made sense to me, as the past week or 2 the bug wasn't working.... Today the graphics were SUUUUUPER slow this morning.... love them and all.. but seriously, DARK BLUE?!
mark 55 Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 These are really terrible compared to the last set of L3s. I echo the comments of some others: Things are beginning to look mixed. Why wouldn't they change things all at once? And blue? There's no blue anywhere in the rest of the package.
24994J 5684 Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 There's no blue anywhere in the rest of the package. AHH-[GMA]-CHOO!
AndrewPollard_ 6 Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 AHH-[GMA]-CHOO! *cough*-not really-*cough* Really I just don't see it.
