abric 157 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 It appears they started using this look on Halloween with the 4PM newscast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwestTV 1173 Posted November 18, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country News 435 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 All I'm saying is that at least it's not some bastardization of the package..*cough* WINK *cough*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, taking into consideration that WINK is at a handicap being a non-NBC station, WINK's kinda looks better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, NBC Affiliates also must have a handicap. Look at this [st]beauty[/st] monstrosity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanewsguy 509 Posted November 19, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFTV 484 Posted November 19, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven 1944 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Nexstar is not going to deal with that, once they get their hands on that station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanewsguy 509 Posted November 19, 2013 Share 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] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCAUTVNBC10 408 Posted November 19, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country News 435 Posted November 19, 2013 Share 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 869 Posted November 19, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrtraveler01 737 Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

groupwfan 95 Posted January 13, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
