PTVNews 197 Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Coming on the heels of the (now potential) sale of Fisher Communication to Sinclair, KATU has received an updated graphic look. It's been about 5 years since they last changed so it was about time. Monday at 4pm they debuted a new look which looks like a modified, updated version of WISH's graphics. I think it's a good update and think they look fresh. The music is the same and fits moderately well. The open VO is wordy but they had been using a similar VO for a few months now mentioning their #1 status. The set remains the same other than a few slightly updated duratrans. I have uploaded the 6pm tease and open and have embedded it below. I'll have a compilation of other elements later. Be sure to subscribe to my Youtube channel for the latest! [yt]crG6SjrEBOA[/yt]
channel2 982 Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Definite upgrade. I'm not much of a fan of Giant Octopus but that old look was hideous and it had to go. There's too many sound effects and too much text in the open animation, though, and the music isn't very audible. Bad idea.
ABC 7 Denver 1743 Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 This is the syndicated Giant Octopus package that KOAA and KGRV use! I've said it and I'll say it again: This is very outdated!

channel2 982 Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 Maybe my sensibilities are flawed, but I think this has held up well enough for GO. Maybe this will start looking more dated in a few years, their aesthetic's falling out of favor.
