LexTVandRadio 418 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Just noticed this one. I wonder who copied who. WSDU or WLEX. WDSU open from 98 WLEX open Both had a triangle theme.

ToriElectra 292 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Just noticed this one. I wonder who copied who. WSDU or WLEX. WDSU open from 98 WLEX open Both had a triangle theme. WDSU came first in 1993, that was JC Burn's work. WLEX is a cheap ripoff.

C Block 1566 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I ran across some footage of KEZI in Eugene, which seems to use a bootleg cross between the KTLA look and the old KYW look. And it doesn't look that bad, really... Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13380-holy-graphics-knockoff-batman/page/6/#findComment-132619 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's not a knock off and is the KCPQ package by Hothaus. http://www.hothauscreative.com/pages/affiliate/kcpq.html Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13380-holy-graphics-knockoff-batman/page/6/#findComment-132621 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProduceGuy 31 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Just noticed this one. I wonder who copied who. WSDU or WLEX. WDSU open from 98 WLEX open Both had a triangle theme. The One and Only theme goes really well with the WLEX graphics. They truly embraced purple during that era.

LexTVandRadio 418 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 For sure, it was a lot of purple. Graphics, set and website. Purple. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13380-holy-graphics-knockoff-batman/page/6/#findComment-133029 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrtraveler01 738 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Just noticed that WKTV got some new graphics and the L3's they use look pretty similar to the Sinclair package.

qunewsguy 377 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Bumping a month-old post, but KRBC is probably not a knock-off. A now-defunct company did the look for WVIT and WVTM at the same time, and they also did a few other NBC affiliates. Here's WVTM from 1999 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13380-holy-graphics-knockoff-batman/page/6/#findComment-137125 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper550 291 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Well, KQDS isn't using the KDVR ripoff anymore. But they now seem to now be using a knock on the current Fox O&O graphics on at least the L3s. Is it me, or does it look a bit better with the fade and the flipped layout?

Is it me or does KQDS create awful opens for its newscasts? Its so plain and so boring. Also, is Diane Alexander still there? I thought she left for a producer job at WCCO-TV 4 in the Twin Cities.

And it looks like a hodgepodge of 3 different packages. Ripping off the CBS O&Os with those sweep nurbs.

Viper550 291 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 To go with WBBH's "take" of Look F, sister station WZVN got an actually not too bad version of KABC's old/KGO's graphics. It's clear that Fort Myers, besides the Fox station, is a market full of knock-offs. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13380-holy-graphics-knockoff-batman/page/6/#findComment-147932 Share on other sites More sharing options...
