Action Newsroom 1150 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 All of this looks great. Great balance of blue and white with nice pops of orange all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewsBuffy 18 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I'm watching the KTLA broadcast in the control room. It looks good but I can't help but notice the time/temp doesn't have temperature and doesn't have the full PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n925tv 143 Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 Was hoping the 10 PM news would be branded as the classic "Prime News" name but not the case... boring "News at 10" branding. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyFighter 14 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 News at Ten is the classic branding. Prime News was only around for a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 1847 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 News at 10 was classic before it became Prime News. As long as its "News at 10," a win-win in my books. It would probably say News at 11 for the 11pm broadcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would probably say News at 11 for the 11pm broadcast. Indeed, that is what it said. Also here is a Morning News shot with the addition of a crawler which we didn't see yesterday.

C Block 1488 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Mark Mester has a cool look at the new newsroom on his Snapchat. Is it just me or does this studio look a lot smaller than the old one? The set feels more like BDI's run of the mill rather than something special.

fan of la tv 47 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 While the on-air look feels similar to the last set, to me it is appears a lot more expansive than the previous one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to see they built the newsroom in the actual Stage 6 building. Modern and fresh looking, plus lots of TV's (over 57 58" TV's!). He said sometime in December the newsroom will be all ready. I originally thought they would remodel their current newsroom, but certainly not the case now. I can see now why construction has been taking this long, especially with dividing up the huge open studio space into different sections. The newly updated control rooms are also just around the corner, looking really nice as well. Wonder what's really in store for the current newsroom... but I'm getting the impression the wrecking ball will be the next thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOMatrix 1295 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I am loving these graphics for KTLA. I see they heavily modified KCPQ's graphics into its own thing. Also, I think the new logo is a little meh, but considering how atrocious logos have been the past few months, I'll take what I can get.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasTVNews 1366 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I wish KDAF and/or KIAH had their newscasts back with a set and graphics like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonDonP1 113 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Cool! The on-air graphics are similar to those of KTLA 5's sister station KCPQ13 Fox here in the Greater Seattle Area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eat News 4738 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I'm absolutely loving these graphics! I love the heated anchor chairs and Kureg stations in the traffic and weather areas. I bet that set even has bluetooth and self sanitizing tele-prompter controls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groupwfan 95 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 I think HOTHAUS had revised the GFX for 'TLA, 7 years after they launched it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A3N 996 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 I think HOTHAUS had revised the GFX for 'TLA, 7 years after they launched it... Tribune's in-house graphics department modified the graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eat News 4738 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Tribune's in-house graphics department modified the graphics. Is Tribune (or others) allowed to do that? I would S&%T if somebody modified my work product and morphed it into their own design. But I could be wrong if they got permission which I figure Tribune would ask for...or would they????(sinister laugh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the only thing that was modified were the opens, everything else is new. I'm a bit perplexed as to why they kept the old opens when everything else is new, but I digress.

They probably ran out of money on something that was over budget(my guess) in the first place. The openings were the ones that got the cheap treatment. It's always money.

The openings were the ones that got the cheap treatment. It's always money. That's a possibility. But if the gfx department is in-house, I don't get how they would run out of money/not complete the gfx package when they're presumably already on the payroll. KTLA has been teasing new graphics for over a year now. If you check out their Youtube page, they have some promos for the morning news using the new graphics. One thing I noticed in those promo graphics was that they had the old dark blue/black colored logo before it got updated to the current blue/white. Either they have not created/updated the opens with the new logo, or they did not like the opens and thus decided to keep using the Hothaus opens-albeit modified.

On a project that size...and in that market,...it would not be unusual to have a few day hires on the project. Hours were allotted and, believe me every single hour and dollar is being watched. In the old days (pre-1920's) the News Director walked into the stuffy graphics / CS room and said "Boys, here is an open checkbook...make me something sexy". It helped that the ND also tossed in a case of Johnny Walker Red...but I digress. Ya got a point though... Why the hell stop, when you already got a real nice product being finished? Unless the designer died mid-project , my guess is they ran out of money or hours...or both. Time just may have been up, and it was ready to air as is.

Bsean 138 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Does anyone know where the area that Ginger Chan does the traffic and also the area where Glenn Walker does sports for the morning news. Those areas still look the same. They must not have been in the same building as the old set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those areas still look the same. They must not have been in the same building as the old set. Those rooms are in the current newsroom building, just off to the right of where the newsroom reports are done. I'll bet they'll get new sets for those rooms when they move to their new newsroom in (hopefully) December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.L. Hughes 751 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I am loving these graphics for KTLA. I see they heavily modified KCPQ's graphics into its own thing. Also, I think the new logo is a little meh, but considering how atrocious logos have been the past few months, I'll take what I can get.. Really, the package is a combo of the KCPQ graphics, KTLA's former Hothaus package (it seems interesting that Tribune Creative West was allowed to even use the open templates from that package and modify it on their own) and to some extent, the WPIX graphics (the style of the lower thirds moderately resembles WPIX's, if you look closely).
