LTSC1980 112 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 ANT1 in Greece took a few cues from WMUR around 1992... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=Ot62saDSm1U;t=10 Fixed. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13380-holy-graphics-knockoff-batman/page/8/#findComment-175984 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesapeakeTV 311 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I was referring to the ANT1 open, not the WMUR one. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13380-holy-graphics-knockoff-batman/page/8/#findComment-175985 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwestTV 1232 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Has anyone mentioned Citadel Communication's knock off of Hearts' graphics?This look is weird because everything is italicized and there is little weight to any of the font. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13380-holy-graphics-knockoff-batman/page/8/#findComment-176273 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darius22 122 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Is it me? or did they just copy Hearst Graphics with a logo almost similar to KIRO? you can also tell by the lower thirds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=y1hDlWVD8qc;m=1;s=40 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13380-holy-graphics-knockoff-batman/page/8/#findComment-176726 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journalist 894 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Is it me? or did they just copy Hearst Graphics with a logo almost similar to KIRO? Oh yeah, they were definitely attempting to mock Hearst's previous designs... ...with Arial... ...sigh.

Viper550 291 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 In comparison, how they look now is stunning. They had one package in between that (dare I say) reminds me of WKBW.

Ehh... the intro is what made me barf. Reminds me of WMGT and their god awful looks. The package is great but the intro should be changed. That part sucked.

The package is great but the intro should be changed. That part sucked. There are some good elements to it, it's just really uninspired. Basically the same slate from different angles. What I was more focused on is the video explaining everything itself. Was it an actual story that aired or something for his reel? How did an anchor even get involved in creating the new package? If it was done in house, it's pretty good. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13380-holy-graphics-knockoff-batman/page/8/#findComment-176756 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidwestTV 1232 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 The execs at Citadel should be slapped silly for giving us these graphics straight out of Dollar Tree. Here's what's sillier - Citadel only owns two full powered stations. 2 full powered stations, and they have standardized graphics, music, and even sets.

I hate that package. Its so bland. Even ThatsTV in the UK use it for their regional "Headline News" bulletins because they're so cheap to not make graphics of its own.

Samantha 2895 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I've seen it so many times in Mexico I think I'd need two hands to count all the stations I've seen using it (primarily state networks): (no longer thankfully), , the state network of Veracruz, and I am sure I have seen it in other places too.

Viper550 291 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 It looks nice for cookie-cutter stuff, but it's still cookie-cutter. Though the Media General-esque elements on the WWNY version redeem that particular implementation.

Especially interesting since their competitor is a Raycom station.
