Mrtraveler01 737 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 They have a station that actually makes decent graphics (WBTV) but for the life of me, I can't figure out why they can't make those the group standard. And they have a history of shitty graphics. Look at the graphics they had before the current/soon to be previous graphics. I remember these that WECT had with some terrible L3s. Seriously, who in their right mind thought these looked good? I guess I'm in the minority when I say that I didn't mind the old Raycom package. But this new one is pretty terrible.

tyrannical bastard 3471 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I think what makes this all the worse is that Raycom just "plopped" these graphics on WOIO....all the while, the set and their promos are plastered with the old logo, and the color scheme associated with their old look. Sadly, this is the trend of centralized graphics. They change faster than the station can adapt to them, resulting in a very inconsistent look across the station as things are not updated quickly enough. This is especially evident on certain stations owned by Gannett, Media General, Scripps, and other groups that have centralized their graphics. Some stations ignore them outside of their newscasts. If they have a kick-ass creative team, their promos and work outshines the material that is fed to them by corporate. WKYC is a good example of this. Others bypass it entirely because dealing with the hub is not timely enough, especially during breaking news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

channel2 869 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 That bug on the WECT video is awful... ^It's a word filter. It'll probably go away in a couple of days. Remember "Atlantis World Media"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groupwfan 95 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 This looks very Scripps-Howard*-ish... Straight out of KSHB. *Knowing that Scripps-Howard's flagship (And Nineteen's rival station) WEWS is across town... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COSMOS2013 0 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 WSFA should be the next station to debut the package next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyHarry 719 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I liked the old graphics very much. They were exciting and in your face. New graphics boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Block 1488 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Whenever I look at WOIO's callsign, I immediately get stuck in my head for some reason. That is all I'm willing to contribute to this conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is all I'm willing to contribute to this conversation. We have WOIO, WHIO, WLIO and WQIO so it is a popular set of call letters throughout the state of OH ... IO!
