Mrtraveler01 738 Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 This time it's WAND out of Decatur-Springfield-Champaign-Urbana, IL. http://www.wandtv.com/category/182814/video?clipId=9539324&autostart=true
abric 181 Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 It appears they started using this look on Halloween with the 4PM newscast.
MidwestTV 1240 Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 Ok. They can stop just handing out Look F all free willynilly now. Hmm but hmm how odd. I was just watching WAND's severe weather coverage yesterday when I noticed their weather graphics were Look F. I wondered if they had it, or a cheap variation of them, but I never really thought too intensely about it.
Big Country News 435 Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 All I'm saying is that at least it's not some bastardization of the package..*cough* WINK *cough*.

Big Country News 435 Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 I dunno, taking into consideration that WINK is at a handicap being a non-NBC station, WINK's kinda looks better. Well, NBC Affiliates also must have a handicap. Look at this [st]beauty[/st] monstrosity.
sanewsguy 514 Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Well, NBC Affiliates also must have a handicap. Look at this [st]beauty[/st] monstrosity. That's not Look F though. That was done entirely in-house. WINK's on the other hand, was done by Artworks themselves.
TVNewsListener 1 Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Well, NBC Affiliates also must have a handicap. Look at this [st]beauty[/st] monstrosity. My god that was horrible. Maybe they just didn't air the finished product.
SFTV 531 Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Gosh the open is like a mixture of Look B? - (aka WMAQ package because they didn't adopt Look C) Look C and F all put together.
CircleSeven 1960 Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Nexstar is not going to deal with that, once they get their hands on that station.
sanewsguy 514 Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Nexstar is not going to deal with that, once they get their hands on that station. They'll probably get Look G. Remember this is the same station that used to use Times New Roman and Condensed Gill Sans with Look A... [yt]zP7XycVEyLs[/yt]
WCAUTVNBC10 413 Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 That's not Look F though. That was done entirely in-house. WINK's on the other hand, was done by Artworks themselves. Artworks is flexible with Look F that they will send the station a toolkit so the station can customize it on their own (see: WCAU) Gosh the open is like a mixture of Look B? - (aka WMAQ package because they didn't adopt Look C) Look C and F all put together. The logo is actually from Look A. as is the 3rd portion of the open before the second resolve of the logo. The lowers and full screens are all textbook Look F. They'll probably get Look G. Remember this is the same station that used to use Times New Roman and Condensed Gill Sans with Look C... [yt]zP7XycVEyLs[/yt] Once again that's Look A. Not all Nexstar NBC affiliates have gone with Look G though. WBRE for example uses the really nice Look T updates and very well. It may have to do with them having strong relationships with their sister stations in neighboring markets that they can easily share content. All of the Nexstar stations in PA use the Look T stuff so there's that.
Big Country News 435 Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 WBRE for example uses the really nice Look T updates and very well. It's mostly because of the WYOU merger into "Eyewtiness News." The only time they identify themselves as NBC or even WBRE is in their logo bug.
channel2 982 Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 I've never been a fan of the serif typeface that Look F uses in its lower thirds. It looks so faux-fancy in that context to me.
Mrtraveler01 738 Posted November 20, 2013 Author Posted November 20, 2013 Speaking of WVLA, I was curious if they had Look F yet or not and low and behold they do. And it looks as bad as you think it would.

Mrtraveler01 738 Posted November 20, 2013 Author Posted November 20, 2013 That was already established earlier in the thread. Just sayin' lol Whoopsie, that's what I get for skimming before posting. Hopefully Nexstar will ditch this for Look G. And will actually put effort into their newscasts.
AdamTheJ 90 Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 All I'm saying is that at least it's not some bastardization of the package..*cough* WINK *cough*. I look at a WINK news open on YouTube: , and thought WTF, thinking a CBS affiliate using Look F?
groupwfan 97 Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 I look at a WINK news open on YouTube: , and thought WTF, thinking a CBS affiliate using Look F? Yet WINK's using WCBS', KYW's and KCBS' V/O, Brian Lee. That'll set it apart from Look F.
