CircleSeven 1956 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. From the last changes, they wouldn't do it on a Saturday morning, which were implemented on the Saturday Evenings' news, as per 6/3/05 graphics debut & 1/6/07 HD launch. Now the 2001 look debuted on a Monday, 4/2/01, which also debuted their current morning theme and the last set from upstairs. I'm praying that News Series 2000 Plus survives this upcoming graphics change.

newsmusicfan 13 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Correct me if I am wrong, but this is the first time in don't know how many years that all 4 major Chicago O&O stations will have the newest graphics offered for O&O stations. WBBM- Newest CBS Graphics WMAQ- Newest NBC Graphics (Look F) WLS- Newest ABC Graphics that are available WFLD- Newest FOX O&O graphics It seems like every time one station upgraded to the newest stuff, at least 1 stuck with their old graphics. WFLD update to the previous package, WMAQ stayed with Look A (Look B was available) and WLS with what they have now. WBBM upgrade to previous Arial package, again WMAQ (Look C was available) and WLS remained the same. NBC 5 seemed to keep Chicago outdated with their Look A package when every other NBC O&O was on Looks B, C, D, F and G.

Stephon_D_Watson 0 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 These graphics look similar to what KGO use to use for a short time (about 3 years), except they their graphics are all blue.

Spring Rubber 705 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 During a pre-recorded package that just aired, Ravi signed off with, "Ravi Baichwal, ABC 7 Eyewitness News" This really makes me think we'll see the change today on the evening show.

My DVR is pretty much set for every weekend show, and morning, 4 and 10 through Thursday. My family's gonna dislike me for this.

I recorded both the news at 6 and "Wheel" this evening. Later on? I'm going 10:30 to midnight, but I'll also be up that late. 12:15 might not be a terrible idea, if you're unsure. Frankly, the football coverage is the main reason why I'm doubting a launch for tonight.

Spring Rubber 705 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 *goes to check on the status of the college football game* Wow, the game only has 2 and a half minutes left in the 4th?

Spring Rubber 705 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 They don't sound like they're jumping. I don't think there's a reason to since the other game is already on ESPN2.

24994J 5589 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 So, just caught a promo for "Judy Hsu...Weekdays at 4:30" promo, with ABC 7 News label. Yes, there's going to be some bleed-over, but I might be getting a little ahead of myself. This is me trying to cover me ass if things don't go down tonight.

Spring Rubber 705 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Under the old package, did they use talent opens in situations where the Saturday news was at 6 PM, or did they just use a generic "Chicago's #1 News, ABC 7 News" quick opener instead?
