KevCor 344 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Next Thursday... https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10152570923308630 The L3 logo... I'm not sure that they've finished coloring it. The words "News" and "Now" are supposed to be gold colored like the 13 is. And I'm surprised they didn't sting the music as well. Umm, isn't Sports a darker shade of red and Breaking News a brighter shade of red? Either WVEC messed up the colours accidentally, switched them deliberately or a update came across from Gannett and I haven't been notified. I noticed that too. Overall, it doesn't look as out of place as I thought it would. I thought the darker colors would clash with the relative brightness of the studio.

Jake Hurst 0 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 KENS5 in San Antonio got the Gannett Website: http://www.kens5.com/ I think WFAA is getting the Gannett Graphics August 20 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/16/#findComment-109572 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either WVEC messed up the colours accidentally, switched them deliberately or a update came across from Gannett and I haven't been notified. That's the same thing I was thinking. Even the three-Belo are using the reds correctly. This got to be the station's doing, unless they fix it in time for their launch. This will be the 2nd Gannett station (after WLTX) to debut the new graphics during a sweep period.

It is not scandalous to say "our new parent company." BTW on a side note - because I live far far away from a Belo station, I noticed watching KHOU 11 recently that the OTS are to the far right of the screen. Do they single-stream their channels as HD only or does the OTS get cut off when watching on an SDI channel?

As I said before, I love that graphics package, but that's just really poor execution. I think this is consistent to the other stations because I saw a WVEC clip on YouTube with the same problem. A little cutoff is understandable but if its way off the frame, need I say more? Well it makes the case to push the Gannett graphics, to be fair.

KevCor 344 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 You can see some more "snippets" of the WVEC integration of the Gannett graphics (mainly the weather graphics) from this story about what they'd do in the event of a hurricane here in Hampton Roads: http://www.wvec.com/video?id=267737871&sec=577832&ref=articlevidmod Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/16/#findComment-109585 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLTNewsWatch 4 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Sorry I didn't respond earlier, I've been out of town for a few days. However I talked with someone, and they said the graphics have been pushed back to July 26th. They were pushed back by Gannett. Like it has been mentioned by other posters, WCNC is now running promos teasing the new website. Not entirely sure of a launch date for that.

Well it makes the case to push the Gannett graphics, to be fair. If the ots was all the way cut off (like the live bug is) it would be one thing. But on an SD feed a portion of the graphic (20 - 25%) is visible in the frame, which made it even more ridiculous.

GoldenShine9 1512 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Will all the ex-Belo stations get the updates before the recent London acquisitions? Or could they go out of order?

KevCor 344 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Will all the ex-Belo stations get the updates before the recent London acquisitions? Or could they go out of order? I will speculate and say that since none of the Texas clustered ex-Belo stations have them, and all of the London stations have them they wouldn't do them out of order. But they've surprised me thus far with the rollout, so, no telling.

cbs2newengland 72 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 It all depends on what graphics/rundown systems they have. Belo's ran on Miranda (as mentioned earlier) - at least the Texas stations did. If the London stations use ENPS and Chyron - it would make it easier for them to do the switch even faster.

CircleSeven 1955 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 WHOA!!! Didn't know they're also getting a new logo as well.... They obviously doing the plug to boot. This also means bye-bye to The Tower, which is one of the last stations to use it since the beginning in 2000.

Casey Buck 35 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I'm pretty surprised they're changing the 8 logo; that dates back to 1995.

KevCor 344 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Just a random thought -- I was looking through the Gannett properties and I think it'll be interesting to see how much the two ex-London Fox affiliates (KIDY/KXVA) will shape up and be changed by the Deathstar. From what I've found, they haven't held a Fox station outright, if ever.

c.alexbrown 8 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Found the wcnc.com beta of the gannett site design while searching on the web.... http://ux.wcnc.com How I got to it.... Search wcnc masthead (that's the name if the file) then I clicked on the image and it brought me to the new site. Maybe it will work with other stations? It looks like it has dummy content right now though Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/16/#findComment-109690 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Muck 4366 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I tried ux.wfaa.com to no success (it was the first Belo station that came to mind). So I would assume that they are building these new sites one at a time. It should be noted that you can replace "www" with "ux" on any Gannett website using Presto - e.g., ux.wkyc.com, ux.wgrz.com, ux.ktvb.com - and still access their main websites. EDIT: I tried out ux.kgw.com... and it has the Presto layout with content populated. But oddly enough, no logo.

SterlingNorth 33 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I suspect the KGW logo change was something that just came about very very recently. The NWCN open which had the new KREM logo had the now old KGW logo. Did anyone noticed to the KREM's new logo? KHOU's actually looks like a live website, with the most real content as opposed to dummy content. [Never mind. They are testing by posting a lot of old stories. That said, it is fun to see the website update almost every five minutes with a bunch of different "new" stories. Maybe they are trying to move their entire archives to the new site.] Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13009-tegna-broadcasting-and-digital-general-discussion/page/16/#findComment-109707 Share on other sites More sharing options...
