24994J 5629 Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 Hi, Alec. Can you please remove the word 'new' from the title of this thread? I feel like 2 years old isn't new anymore. So long as the next one is the "Newer" followed by the "Newest", I think we'll be okay. 2
mike91 67 Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 The thread formerly known as the New Hearst Thread? 5
T.L. Hughes 903 Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 Well, it's happened again. WDSU anchor Scott Walker has been mistaken for the Wisconsin Governor of the same name. This time by Donald Trump, who in congratulating his one-time rival Presidential candidate (whose Twitter handle is @ScottWalker) on a speech attacking Hillary Clinton and the assessment of her email investigation by FBI head James Comey, accidentally linked his message to the Twitter account of the Scott Walker not running a U.S. state (@ScottWalker6). http://www.wdsu.com/news/local-news/new-orleans/donald-trump-mistaking-wdsus-scott-walker-for-gov-is-not-uncommon-for-the-tv-anchor/40810178?src=app Of course, being mistaken for someone more well-known could have been worse. Look at the social media crapstorm that WBAL sports anchor Gerry Sandusky went through when the former Penn State assistant football coach (whose name is spelled with a "J") was charged with and later convicted of paedophelia/rape.
atlnews2 595 Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 WPBF now has the same website that was launched by WJCL last month. I guess this will officially be the new Hearst web layout. 1
mardek1995 200 Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 WPBF now has the same website that was launched by WJCL last month. I guess this will officially be the new Hearst web layout.So does KSBW. 5
mre29 1563 Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 I'm underwhelmed. The homepage feels like it's missing content. Individual article pages are better, but they use that "scroll to the next item" gimmick that I've come to hate. 2
newsbot 271 Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 WMTW has switched to the new layout, while WCVB and WMUR are still using the old design. WPTZ hasn't switched over, either. I agree that the new layout seems to favor cleanliness over content. Not a good compromise IMHO, but then again mobile is what it's all about these days. One good feature is that the source of the content is listed alongside many of the featured stories. WMTW's on-demand news streaming is still messed up, though.
LoadStar 364 Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 WMTW has switched to the new layout. WCVB and WMUR are still using the old layout. WISN is still on the old layout as well.
rkolsen 1686 Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 WBAL is still using the old layout for desktop and mobile. But they don't even plug their website anymore. They say it will be featured in the WBAL app. A little chyron that used to have their website logo was replaced with the App Store logos. 1
NWA_TV_guy 157 Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 WAPT is using the new website layout.
GoldenShine9 1514 Posted September 24, 2016 Posted September 24, 2016 WPTZ, WDSU and WLWT have switched. 1
GoldenShine9 1514 Posted September 30, 2016 Posted September 30, 2016 KMBC and WVTM have also adopted it. 2
TexasTVNews 1378 Posted September 30, 2016 Posted September 30, 2016 So did WDSU with the new layout.
susquvalleywgal 521 Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 WGAL does not have the new website format yet. But we have some new things they started rolling out. [MEDIA=flickr]29546346753[/MEDIA] New WGAL Coming Up gfx ... The effects are just like the news gfx. I'm liking this. [MEDIA=flickr]29879660330[/MEDIA] Finally, WGAL has a station logo bug for syndicated programming. I wanted them to have this for YEARS. -- Matt
MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 948 Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 WESH & KOCO has started the new layout as of today.
MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 948 Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 KHBS/KHOG 40/29 and KOAT has the new layout today as well
NewsMaster 226 Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 Here's the stations yet to switch (stations that have switched since this post are crossed out): WCVB KCRA WTAE WBAL WISN WYFF WGAL KETV KCCI
LoadStar 364 Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 Here's the stations yet to switch: WCVB KCRA WTAE WBAL WISN WYFF WGAL KETV KCCI KCRA, WISN and WGAL now have the new web template.
MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 948 Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 KCCI, WBAL, and WYFF now have them
GoldenShine9 1514 Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 Only WCVB still has the old format.
newsbot 271 Posted November 15, 2016 Posted November 15, 2016 WCVB has finally switched. It's a nice new format, but a lot of legacy content has been wiped out (as was the case with the other switchovers.)
mre29 1563 Posted November 16, 2016 Posted November 16, 2016 WCVB has finally switched. It's a nice new format, but a lot of legacy content has been wiped out (as was the case with the other switchovers.) Looks like Lakana's (formerly Internet Broadcasting) is no longer involved in the sites. Has Hearst taken the work in-house? 1
