KevCor 344 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Both KCEN & KAGS switched their graphics today. No grabs of the open, because I don't think either station live streams. KCEN: http://www.kcentv.com/category/170056/video?autoStart=true&topVideoCatNo=default&clipId=11265213 KAGS: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=779027908842268&set=vb.183827148362350&type=2&theater At least KCEN's weather graphics turned out better than KYTX: http://www.kcentv.com/category/170056/video?autoStart=true&topVideoCatNo=default&clipId=11268135

KCEN: http://www.kcentv.com/category/170056/video?autoStart=true&topVideoCatNo=default&clipId=11265213 Hey, KCEN is the only station so far to actually EXPLAIN on how to format your TV for the graphics.
KevCor 344 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Hey, KCEN is the only station so far to actually EXPLAIN on how to format your TV for the graphics. ...and with a graphic on where to find the button on your remote! For what it's worth, KCEN, and KYTX were still broadcasting 4x3 to their cable and satellite providers. They had to have them change it to 16x9 and letterbox their streams so their graphics wouldn't be cut off at broadcast.
LTSC1980 114 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Probably also a reason the open of KCEN still shows "HD"?
sanewsguy 514 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Probably also a reason the open of KCEN still shows "HD"? Ugh... It's 2015 and they've been in HD for years. No need to continue to remind viewers of this. But it's Gannett, what do you expect? Oh wait, after they took over their slogan is now "Start Here, Expect More"..: Only the best for Gannett!
CorpusChristiNews 0 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 By the looks of it, it dosent seem like KIII will be changing brands to ABC 3 (which i prefer) we will remain 3 News for ever (sigh) lol
CorpusChristiNews 0 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Sorry about the size of pics, still new. You have to click on the pic to see them bigger.

So much ambiguity through the market's different wiki pages as who was first -- apparently everyone was.
mardek1995 200 Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Are they the only ones in HD? So much ambiguity through the market's different wiki pages as who was first -- apparently everyone was. WFMY seems to be the only other Gannett station that has the HD in their logo.
AaronQ 282 Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 So...WKYC got some interesting graphics on their tease for the 11:00 newscast.. https://twitter.com/wkyc/status/583093637300428801

ABC 7 Denver 1729 Posted April 1, 2015 Author Posted April 1, 2015 Is it possible that we may see new graphics coming in the near future? No. This is the in-house promo team.
Big Country News 435 Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 No. This is the in-house promo team. Actually, Hothouse made them. Matt Quinn lives in Cleveland and HH does a lot of work for them.
ABC 7 Denver 1729 Posted April 2, 2015 Author Posted April 2, 2015 Actually, Hothouse made them. Matt Quinn lives in Cleveland and HH does a lot of work for them. Do you have any supporting evidence to demonstrate that Hothaus made them? I looked at LinkedIn and while, yes, I see that HotHaus is located in Cleveland, I'm not sure if I can necessarily say that for sure Hothaus made them. Although, I'd suspect that you are right as WXIA is using a Hothaus package for a sales program. And, furthermore, it baffles me why Gannett didn't use Hothaus to begin with instead of that secondary film company they built the package with.

KevCor 344 Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 On the Gannett Digital Front: 1. Looks like all the ex-Belos have ditched their old MOBILE websites for the new Gannett version. The old websites, produced by doApp, were just web versions of their phone/tablet apps. 2. The old apps are now probably on their way out, to be replaced by the current Gannett apps. Right now, they've tweaked the current app to match the white color of the mobile sites. 3. Gannett took over one of Belo's old apps, the WeatherCaster app, and it is currently one of the highest rated weather apps on both iPhone and Android. Don't be surprised if it starts getting pushed to your nearest non-Belo Gannett station.
ABC 7 Denver 1729 Posted April 4, 2015 Author Posted April 4, 2015 Not to mention this WKYC promo look borrows heavily from the WPXI look that Hothaus worked on last year. I may have contended that those were Blue Helio, but I'm not sure anymore. The motion graphics front is particularly blurry.

Thanks Remington, I agree!

And HotHaus are same guys who made the last Belo graphics before Belo was bought by Gannett.

Al-SA-TX 54 Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 If you're interested in KCEN's/KAGS' show opens... KCEN: KAGS: I'm not quite sure why everyone is using the same music cut. Anywho, a slight change to our schedule - KIDY/KXVA will now roll these out on Wednesday, April 22.

Anywho, a slight change to our schedule - KIDY/KXVA will now roll these out on Wednesday, April 22. I think for KCEN/KAGS, it's because that may be the only cut with the NBC three tones in it.
