TennTV1983 807 Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 How has WISC's knockoff of the Scripps package not come up? I see that, and I raise you WJAX/WFOX's new graphics package.
Big Country News 435 Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 I see that, and I raise you WJAX/WFOX's new graphics package. It's likely that package was designed by Renderon, the same company that did the Scripps package. It fits their style. 1
ABC 7 Denver 1729 Posted November 15, 2017 Author Posted November 15, 2017 It's likely that package was designed by Renderon, the same company that did the Scripps package. It fits their style. A few people have contracts with Nexstar (as acquired from Young Broadcasting stations). RenderOn isn't one of them though.
doublejman69 124 Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 How has WISC's knockoff of the Scripps package not come up? WISC has a very good in-house graphics department. Yeah, there might be some Renderon looking elements to the graphics, But this is more of a continuation of previous looks going back to more than 15 years.
Weeters 1969 Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 WISC has a very good in-house graphics department. Yeah, there might be some Renderon looking elements to the graphics, But this is more of a continuation of previous looks going back to more than 15 years. Certain parts, yes. The dynamic lower thirds and the designs of the fullscreens, but the backgrounds and animations are definitely "inspired" by the Scripps graphics The first scene of the weather open is a dead giveaway.
rkolsen 1686 Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 Certain parts, yes. The dynamic lower thirds and the designs of the fullscreens, but the backgrounds and animations are definitely "inspired" by the Scripps graphics I want to say that the way they handled the weather remote was interesting. I kind of like it. One thing I rarely ponder about is the need for the meteorologist to stand in front of the graphics. It would be one thing if they could stand in one place but they have to move around as they cover part of the maps. 3
Big Country News 435 Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 A few people have contracts with Nexstar (as acquired from Young Broadcasting stations). RenderOn isn't one of them though. Okay? We were talking about Cox stations. 1
ABC 7 Denver 1729 Posted November 16, 2017 Author Posted November 16, 2017 Okay? We were talking about Cox stations. You're right. My apologies.
ChesapeakeTV 312 Posted December 24, 2017 Posted December 24, 2017 Repost from the classic video thread - someone at WHOI clearly liked Balls and Walls (and mid 90s TVbD in general)... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=IsS6I_Mymhg;t=21 1
noggi 604 Posted December 24, 2017 Posted December 24, 2017 The Cox Jacksonville stuff looks like a Renderon Scripps/Hothaus KTRK knockoff. Cox doesn’t have an “agreement” with Hothaus but most of their Creative Directors are familiar with the company and use them for their graphics packages.
Jared DiCarlo 53 Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 KTHI (now KVLY) in Fargo, ND used to have these graphics that look suspiciously like those of NBC News’ graphics of the early 90s. 1

LorenKarr 18 Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 It gets worse. Those L3’s. Woof. I think Walt's mouth is agape because he just can't believe it either. I guess they could have used Comic Sans. 1
Samantha 2902 Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 To me, Chaparral Pro screams "I haven't bothered to look for good fonts and what came with [insert Adobe software] here is fine". Same with Myriad and Minion.

Samantha 2902 Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 Now that we have KSNT (though with painfully wrong music), so begins the search for one of my holy grails: the rest of the Hatch look of the mid-80s, with Welch graphics and set and potentially Peters music. Where shall I find it first, Salt Lake City or Wichita? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFYCcIcYp1k 3
Info Junkie 1286 Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 The problem with Wichita is that the eras are scattered - KAKE has plenty from the 80s while KWCH has plenty from the 90s. As for KSNW, it’s the same as KAKE, yet the annoying part is that their 1986 newscast has no music on the open. KUTV of course has nothing at all, typical Salt Lake City. Peters, I think, wasn’t responsible for their mid 80s theme, but KUTV’s 1979 theme sounds a bit more like their work. 3
Samantha 2902 Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=G9JZ1ozbivo;t=1419 Finally realized this one... 3
kfc513 238 Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 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 Hate to bump this thread, but what was that graphics company in question? And what was their website? 1
Samantha 2902 Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 Hate to bump this thread, but what was that graphics company in question? And what was their website? It was Electronic Graphics and Design of Dallas (which I know did WVIT). Not much exists of them these days even in print materials. And this video has a couple examples; WEAR being ripped off by WTVY (both in this video) and WJHG thinking it's in Baltimore... [MEDIA=vimeo]244566783[/MEDIA] 4
