susquvalleywgal 517 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 While looking for good stories in my OPML RSS feeds, I found this: http://www.wnem.com/story/21557451/credit-bureau-to-local-woman-youre-dead Almost idential L3's to Scripps, including the left animated bug on the L3's. At last check, they are a Meridith station. Is the new Scripps look going syndicated? -- Matt Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12497-im-sure-wnem-tv-5-is-not-a-scripps-station/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronQ 282 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 It is a bastardized version of the Scripps look :ack: Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12497-im-sure-wnem-tv-5-is-not-a-scripps-station/#findComment-79668 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WXmanTim 88 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 More like a cheap knock-off - a street vendor's version of a Coach bag. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12497-im-sure-wnem-tv-5-is-not-a-scripps-station/#findComment-79669 Share on other sites More sharing options...

News 9 Viewer 100 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 More like a cheap knock-off - a street vendor's version of a Coach bag. Fitting since the lower thirds of the Scripps package imitate CNN's.

Viper550 291 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Yeah, that's an awful bootleg. It just screams imitation and cheapness; especially with how the left side thing resets every time a new L3 comes up.

qunewsguy 377 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 God those are horrible graphics. Should've stuck with what they had. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12497-im-sure-wnem-tv-5-is-not-a-scripps-station/#findComment-79680 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABC 7 Denver 1715 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Terrible lower thirds. They look very cheap. Oh, and Brian Wood should not be on the air. His style is awful. Yuck!

Jess 1115 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Aside from the box on the left, this doesn't look even remotely like the Scripps graphics to me. It looks like a very basic package with one element shoehorned into it. Doesn't mean it looks good - frankly, it looks terrible - but aside from that box, nothing about this looks like Scripps.

Rusty Muck 4374 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Oh dear God. Those L3s are bad on the level of , and . My eyes are still bleeding. That being said, it's plausible that one of WNEM's graphic artists looked at WXYZ's Scripps L3s and thought, "hey, I could try that too!"

It looks like it's in SD. It also completely clashes with the OTS graphic seen at the end of the clip.
