ABC 7 Denver 1729 Posted October 24, 2016 Author Posted October 24, 2016 I actually like this a lot.. Better than the boring DIN font.. Hope all the TEGNA ABC stations get this. Nah. ABC owns the rights to that font and Tegna is doing a rebrand soon.
MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 949 Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 Nah. ABC owns the rights to that font and Tegna is doing a rebrand soon. Ah yes.. forgot about their rebranding.. Darn
LOWERCASE GUY 283 Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 Nah. ABC owns the rights to that font and Tegna is doing a rebrand soon. Hopefully the name "Denver 7" goes away.
CircleSeven 1960 Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 Hopefully the name "Denver 7" goes away. That's Scripps. 2
Samantha 2902 Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 I actually like this a lot.. Better than the boring DIN font.. Hope all the TEGNA ABC stations get this. That type is bad. Not suited for this. 2
LOWERCASE GUY 283 Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 That's Scripps. Duuuuuh, I knew that. It's been a long day. 1
KevCor 344 Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 Looks like ABC 10 is revamping their WX graphics just a tad. http://cdn.tegna-media.com/kxtv/weather/web-10-day.jpg The ABC font type. Nah. ABC owns the rights to that font and Tegna is doing a rebrand soon. So I went looking around the ABC10 video archive, and for what it's worth, all portions of ABC10/KXTV has changed to that look, not just the weather department. It appears DIN is not going to be their default font anymore either -- but that "ABCish" font is the new normal. There's also no more rundown, no more permanent L3 and oddly, and no second line on the L3. Instead, the L3 wipes and shows the second line text in the full L3 bar. The topic (News/Breaking/Weather, etc) is also no longer static, and can pretty much be changed into anything they want it to. They're also still sticking to the topical color palate, but it's so much more subdued than the current look -- only as a stripe on the side of the L3. White backgrounds have replaced the black and gray all over the place. This very well could be TEGNA's pull away from the old G3 look. http://www.abc10.com/media/local
TheRob 938 Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 Scott is reporting that NWCN will cease operations next year. http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2016/10/27/breaking-tegan-to-shut-down-cable-news-channel 1
djlynch 56 Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 Is this part of the KXTV package or is Tegna rolling out more than one new look? KVUE has started using them within the last couple days, and it doesn't quite feel like it matches the minimalism I can see on KXTV's web site.

NWCN is like TEGNA's last great cable news channel because the only other one (NewsWatch 15) airs nothing but repeats and NWCN was profitable.

KVUE has started using them within the last couple days, and it doesn't quite feel like it matches the minimalism I can see on KXTV's web site. I just noticed those tonight down here on WVEC as well. Haven't seen them before either, but the brightness/white makes me think it could be a part of the new package too. 2

KevCor 344 Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 So, either TEGNA has loosened up their standardization policy some or... they must be trying out some changes, because I just found this look out of KPNX/12 News in AZ: http://www.12news.com/news/local/valley/police-investigating-deadly-shooting/343096325 Granted, it's only on their morning show, but still.... that's the strangest L3 I've seen. EVER.

24994J 5630 Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 That's the KTRK package. No, it's not. A full-screen from KTRK for comparison. Only seeing that screenshot, is it possibly just for political coverage, or is it being used on other news, too? 5
KevCor 344 Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 No, it's not. A full-screen from KTRK for comparison. Only seeing that screenshot, is it possibly just for political coverage, or is it being used on other news, too? It's in a few packages I've seen in all their different colors. There's one in the life purple. But like I said before the one stand-out is the white color, in contrast to the blacks and grays they feature.
MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 949 Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 Yes, WZZM has been inserting some of these in here & there as well
JoseRM303 171 Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 NWCN shutting down in January: http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/seattle-regional-cable-network-going-dark/180881
TexasTVNews 1378 Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 Start digging a grave because they're be laying next to defunct regional cable news like TXCN, ONN, News 24 Houston, News 9 San Antonio, etc. 1
KevCor 344 Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 NWCN shutting down in January: http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/seattle-regional-cable-network-going-dark/180881 Nobody should be surprised by this -- the way TEGNA is cost-cutting in the face of their $4billion debt...
TheRolyPoly 2592 Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 Nobody should be surprised by this -- the way TEGNA is cost-cutting in the face of their $4billion debt... First... The 24/7 News Channel from KTVB, then TXCN and now NWCN. What's next... NewsWatch 15?
KevCor 344 Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 First... The 24/7 News Channel from KTVB, then TXCN and now NWCN. What's next... NewsWatch 15? Depends. Who's footing the bill for that cable channel? IIRC, it's just replays of WWL, so I'm sure the MVDO is paying the most costs... 5
mightynine 290 Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 I'd be surprised if NewsWatch 15 shut down, because as mentioned above, it's nothing but replays of the last newscast. If they are still able to sell it, what's the reason to turn it off? Though it is still just SD-only - perhaps it's not worth the time/effort to make it HD or widescreen.
