WHP New logo?

[Leavellebrett 85]

WHP-TV CBS 21 in Harrisburg, PA posted a new picture on their Facebook page.

They're using a varient of the CBS 21 logo which they currently use. It resembles KGPE and WTEV's CBS 47 logos.

Is it possible that this Sinclair station could be getting a rework? Maybe O&O graphics? It's silver letters and CBS #. Who knows, but it's possible.

 

EDIT: The Facebook photo used to have this logo in it.

Here's another promo. I'm seeing the text logo everywhere now on their Facebook.

I wouldn't call it a new logo... it's pretty much the same one without the background. Could certainly hint at a graphics change though.

That's what I was thinking. It is Sinclair... KUTV might be getting the same graphics pack.

2 things to note from image to image: In both images, the duratran directly behind the anchor desk has the exact same logo as the 'updated' logo (A better view: http://www.ddgtv.com/upload/galleries/228.jpg).

 

The second thing I noticed was that, though entirely tangential, the female anchor is wearing the exact same studs and blue skirt.

If I was a WHP fan, I'd thank you for pointing me to this nice, big desktop wallpaper.

The logo looks identical to the previous one, sans the red and black background.

 

It may hint an upcoming change from the "Action-news-esque" graphics used on former sister stations KGPE and WTEV (which actually modified their lower thirds before Newport sold them to Cox).

I was hoping I wasn't crazy and just seeing this.

WHP-TV did modify their gfx with this ... and of course, in Sinclair tradition, not for the better. The graphics look cheapened and more plain. And can we even call that a L3 ... or Lower right third???

 

And I think this is just the beginning ...
