cbs2newengland 72 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I've noticed on air changes (other than the website change back in late summer) to NECN within the last few weeks. the anchor shots seem to be tight, looked chroma keyed, and that appears to be obvious on the 6:00 news as Mike Nikitas has a zebra effect around his shadow. A stinger after the weather was touting their new app features that new "necn" logo. I for one do not like it at all. How much should I bet a new look will follow in the coming weeks?

News 9 Viewer 100 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I don't know about the coming weeks...a rebrand sometime in 2015 is certain to happen, though.

cbs2newengland 72 Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 I don't know about the coming weeks...a rebrand sometime in 2015 is certain to happen, though. I'd say imminent because why would they be in a temporary set for a long time? The channel can't catch a break with people complaining they repeat the news blocks all the time or they focus too technical on weather, or whathaveyou. They are one of the best regional news channels in the country, and I don't have a problem with Look F customized for all news or other elements, but that logo may look cool for Cambridge, but the logo looks trashy for Presqle Isle or Litchfield or or another small NE mkt or town for that matter.

William1111 41 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Just updating on this topic, the Troika designed graphics package was debuted today with the new logo. Also, how did everyone miss this? http://newenglandone.com/news/local-news/item/815-it-s-gold-white-and-blue-for-the-new-necn.html Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14109-possible-changes-to-necn/#findComment-123327 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToriElectra 292 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I saw that earlier, but I thought that somebody else would have linked to it here. Also, I've never heard of this "W Network". Where's that? Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14109-possible-changes-to-necn/#findComment-123329 Share on other sites More sharing options...
William1111 41 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Also, I've never heard of this "W Network". Where's that? According to Google, it's a women's television network in Canada.

ToriElectra 292 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Ah, okay. I did see a new NECN mic flag on an NNS-sourced report yesterday on WABC about all the snow in Boston.

William1111 41 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 As for the weather graphics, they look stretched in 1080p. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14109-possible-changes-to-necn/#findComment-123333 Share on other sites More sharing options...
A3N 1002 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I'm a bit puzzled as to why NECN went with Troika instead of Artworks for their new graphics package. I will say that the new pack is very nice, and would look really good on the NBC O&O's...

cbs2newengland 72 Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 so wrong. It's an insult to the rest of New England that doesn't live in the hip area. HATE the lowercase letterings, what's next with these casual looks? Sorry for my negativity, I remember this network being on the same class as WCVB now its going lower on the scale like the old school WCAU.
