AlNYTVRadio 21 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I really don't want correct anybody on this, so here it is: Series 1 is the WABC version Series 2 is the KABC version Series 3 is the KTRK version Series 4 is the current WABC version Series 5 & 6 is the pre-New Gen cuts New Generation 1-3 are all KABC versions The current cues used by KABC would be New Generation 4 Hope I'm wrong about this. Close, Lets just say: CD1 and 2 is WABC (1990's) CD3 and 4 is WABC (Current) CD5 is KABC Updates/Pre-New Generation (unsure about this one) CD6 is the Toolkit CD7 is the KTRK Updates Then: NG1 is all KABC NG2 and 3 is no mans land I guess because I haven't heard any cues of it being used, but it was commissioned for KABC to use. And Next: NG4 which is KABC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlNYTVRadio 21 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 By the way, I really like the NG4 package a lot. I hope all O&O's under the EWN umbrella (and WLS too) adapt to this new package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the NG4 package the [10] (in red, top left) on this website? http://southernmedia-nmsa.com/#1,1,KABC If so, I really like it and hope this goes standard at all the O&Os.

A3N 996 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I believe that this is NG2 (the open at least)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlNYTVRadio 21 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I believe that this is NG2 (the open at least)... That is NG1 (KGO tease), the open I guess is also NG1 because NG2 is in a different direction as shown in my resynch video, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Gari's site, I personally like the first open the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5276 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Yeah, I really like the new stuff, be it NG4 or otherwise. Unfortunately, the further East you go, I think the package would be decreasingly appropriate. Like the ABC stations, it sounds great on KABC, would be nice on KGO and KFSN as well. KTRK could probably pull it off, but I don't think it would work on the other 3 (WPVI omitted) stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG1 came out in 2006 I believe. The resynch video cut is also part of NG2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a bigger change further east than the Western cities because more of the Western cities have the electric sound that NG4 has, but not crazy. The new enforcer music sounds more electric too. I think NG4 can make its way East without a problem, it will just be a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5276 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Screw it, I'm going bold with this... BREAKING FIRST on TVNT: New 'Eyewitness News' logo spotted! The station's 'Big Board' has received a refresh, showing the first preview of the graphics that will likely be in store for WLS within a few weeks (maybe sooner, I don't know). Here are some items of note... The layout of the logo (seen at the bottom of the picture) seems to read as 'ABC 7 Eyewitness News', so that's what I'm going to run with until I hear otherwise. The new live bug (seen at top-left) looks to not be a huge departure from the current bug, and does not really resemble anything seen on the other ABC stations. A possible full-screen (seen at right, next to Alan's face) shows the familiar 'ABC 7' logo on an all-blue circle-7 backdrop, not unlike WABC and even parts of the current Hothaus graphics. No RED is visible, which would seem to debunk the idea of WLS getting an update similar to WABC, though the New York station's new look has yet to be seen in full. However, if what we've been told about WABC's new package is true, then the two stations are not likely to be to look the same. None of this strikes me as being KABC or WTVD's graphics, as well. So, in that regard, I'm beginning to think that WLS' new goods will be an original look. I'll update things as necessary, and I think we can officially be on 'Eyewitness Newswatch 2013'!

mark 55 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 It looks good. Very blue though. And I'm guessing this is the end of the glass-ABC 7 logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctmajka 108 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I like it! It looks like it might be the same company who did the Scripps package? Perhaps Cake Studios? The elements have that soft texture like much of Cakes work: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BehindNYNews 143 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 The preview for Monday morning's news is still the old everything. Well WCBS had the same thing and changed it on Sunday evening when they updated. Not saying it will happen but its possible. If they want to debut on a weekend and before sweeps, it has to be this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABC 7 Denver 1554 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I like it! It looks like it might be the same company who did the Scripps package? Perhaps Cake Studios? The elements have that soft texture like much of Cakes work: RenderOn? I don't think so. I bet this is Blue Helio work (G.O. created the WABC package, this looks similar).

Spring Rubber 614 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Is there any chance the new graphics would debut Saturday morning or will it be Saturday evening/night at the earliest? I'm regretting not recording tonight's 10pm just in case it's the last newscast with the old graphics/name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
