tw-804 192 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 WTVR, the CBS affiliate in Richmond, VA, unveiled their new graphics today starting with the noon newscast. These are the same graphics sister station KDVR-Fox 31 in Denver, Colorado is currently using (both are owned by Local TV, LLC). http://wtvr.com/2013/01/23/richmond-school-jobs-may-be-cut-go-unfilled-to-close-11m-budget-gap/ New 7 Day Forecast graphic: http://wtvr.com/weather/maps-and-radar/seven-day-forecast/ UPDATE (6:38pm): I've uploaded the photos (from my camera) in the On-Air Graphics section of TVNT and I'll wait for the approval. Update (8:26pm): If you want to see more of the graphics in action... http://wtvr.com/2013/01/23/area-police-departments-not-reimbursed-for-presidential-campaign-visits/ UPDATE (10:14pm): The pics are now up.

trev57 46 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Two Local TV stations now with these graphics? Please tell me WITI is next. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12384-new-graphics-for-wtvr/#findComment-78319 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABC 7 Denver 1717 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Please don't tell me that this becomes the group mandate. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12384-new-graphics-for-wtvr/#findComment-78323 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess 1115 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 If this is going to all the Local TV stations, they picked the right package. If this is going to all the Local TV stations, they should probably have standardized the music, because WTVR is using Enforcer (NG2) and, well... no.

ABC 7 Denver 1717 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 And gee. Isn't the developer of this package a member of TVNT? Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12384-new-graphics-for-wtvr/#findComment-78325 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABC 7 Denver 1717 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 You don't like this graphics package? No. I think my local FOX affiliate package is great! I just dislike group mandates!

C Block 1566 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 It is a good package, though part of the reason why they went for all the angled elements was to fit in with the X in the FOX logo. The photography is also what really made the package stand out at KDVR, so let's hope the others can keep up with it. It would've been great if they could have come up with a custom look for WTVR (and possibly WITI later on?) like what they did at KDVR and KWGN, though I suppose they might not have the resources to do that on a large scale.

energy812 0 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 It would be interesting to see if this package is a new standard on all of Local TV Stations.... but WREG in Memphis, Tenn and KFSM in Fort Smith, Arkansas use the same graphics package, both are owned by Local TV. So it seems as if they do share some packages around the stations.

Rusty Muck 4378 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 No. I think my local FOX affiliate package is great! I just dislike group mandates! I wouldn't mind if WJW went with the KDVR package and music, considering that they've been stuck with the first generation Fox O&O graphics since mid-2007. They really should make an upgrade. Yes, there is that pesky thing called the O&O news set that Fox built for WJW that wouldn't fit with the KDVR look in any real way...
