mike91 67 Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 WMBF is now using the new graphics for weather: http://www.wmbfnews.com/clip/11665833/marlas-thursday-forecast EDIT: WAFB has not only the new graphics, but a new set just like WBTV and WVUE. Set pics and Graphics
ehatt493 33 Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 WAVE updated their mobile app recently and it's using the new background and a new, flatter icon. Old graphics still being used in all news/weather production.
CircleSeven 1960 Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 Looking at their live stream, KOLD-TV is using new weather graphics. Notice that KOLD is using the blue variant & the KMSB-aired news is using the orange variant. As of now, the news graphics is still a status quo.

KAIT in Jonesboro, AR also looks to at least have switched weather graphics. Ryan Vaughan implied on Twitter that it's weather-only for now.
memnews1 25 Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 WAVE will switch to the new weather graphics tomorrow on the 11am newscast, according to this promo posted by Ryan Hoke: https://www.facebook.com/hokeywx/videos/10153559641479374/ It should be noted that WMC also updated their news and weather apps with the new background.

Ah! You beat me to it! Setting the DVR to make sure I get 'em!
LexTVandRadio 418 Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Ah! You beat me to it! Setting the DVR to make sure I get 'em! Awesome! Look forward to seeing it. I'll check it out on your YouTube channel. I saw someone comment about a new set. Said not yet, but they are due for one. WHAS... It's time.
ehatt493 33 Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 WHAS... It's time. Said someone in 2010. EDIT: Looks like I'll have the video uploaded somewhere in the 1-2 ET timeframe.
memnews1 25 Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 This could have been expected, but WAVE completely switched to the new graphics, not just for weather. They appear to be using the orange theme, at least for the morning shows. Don't know if the color will change for the evening.
LexTVandRadio 418 Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 I was thinking the same thing, but looks like they are sticking with the orange.
ehatt493 33 Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 The orange kinda makes sense because the 2010/2011 graphics also used the blue/orange motif instead of, say, red or shades of blue.
ehatt493 33 Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 2 hours late because I didn't realize the file was over 1GB. But nonetheless, a small medley from the first 15 minutes:
Big Country News 435 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Seriously, WAVE using a junk package like 'The Rock'? It may fly in small towns, but the sound doesn't fit.
NEOMatrix 1307 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 I'm glad that WAVE got rid of the "Red White and Blue" package, but why didn't WWBT or WIS get the new graphics first?
montydavis 7 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 I'm glad that WAVE got rid of the "Red White and Blue" package, but why didn't WWBT or WIS get the new graphics first? WIS rarely follows the status quo. They still utilize the same graphics that are about 7 years old. Before that, they had the Liberty-era graphics. WWBT used to support the Jefferson-Pilot (Lincoln Financial) stations of WWBT, WCSC, and WBTV for graphics. Since Raycom took over, they have been slow at incorporating the Raycom graphics. They still use "some" elements from their J-P era.
Journalist 894 Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 WAVE's unique execution of the graphics is superb, kudos to them. From recently memory I believe WAVE is the second station to execute the graphics without breaking them? I believe the first was WBTV. Anyways, it's nice to see a American station to have a clean and dynamic package without breaking it, especially when it comes to the Raycom package which is obviously amazing.

I think it looks great myself. Much better than the Sinclair package.
Mrtraveler01 738 Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 I think it looks great myself. Much better than the Sinclair package. Not a fan of the orange (prefer the blue myself). But Raycom did a great job picking Limerick to design this package.
NEOMatrix 1307 Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Raycom has done a good job executing the graphics on WAVE. I just hope that whoever gets the Limerick Package next (likely WMBF) doesn't screw it up.
Journalist 894 Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Much better than the Sinclair package. The Sinclair package is a failed attempt on flat design. Raycom on the other hand nailed it. Not a fan of the orange (prefer the blue myself). I think the fact the package allows stations for easy customization is perfect. Giving stations a standardized package is boring enough, but giving each station a unique flair, colour wise, can improve their product. I completely understand it could be mind-boggling, considering the fact they had the sharp red-blue-white mix for several years now. Anyways, WAVE have an orange colour scheme is kinda cute. :3
NWA_TV_guy 157 Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 WDAM (Laurel/Hattiesburg, MS) is now using the new graphics in their weather segments only at this time.
LOWERCASE GUY 283 Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Add KAIT to the list! They are using them for weather only at this time.
Mrtraveler01 738 Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 KPLC is using them for their weather segements. http://www.kplctv.com/weather
