NEOMatrix 1302 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Looks like Raycom just had to bastardize a perfectly good graphics package. Ew! Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14126-all-about-raycom-media/page/11/#findComment-177033 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggo 357 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 As expected, Raycom's KPLC/Lake Charles is expanding news on its newly acquired sister station KVHP. The station is hiring an anchor/executive producer for a new 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. morning show. Presumably will start this fall. https://careers-raycommedia.icims.com/jobs/7002/anchor-executive-producer/job Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14126-all-about-raycom-media/page/11/#findComment-177290 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ntropolis 597 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 WMC/Memphis debuted a tweaked version of the current Raycom package today. The color they use for the graphics has become a darker blue, but most notably, they've stretched the lower thirds and some other on-screen graphics to take up more of the screen space. This was likely driven by a desire to include more text in the L3s and utilize HD screen area, but personally I think the entire look was cleaner within the safe zone. You can see the new look contrasted with the unchanged weather graphics in one of my photos attached to this post. The other shows the increased room for text on the L3s as well as the fact that the live bug has moved from the top left of the screen to above the time/temp bug. The time/temp bug in particular looks worse now, in my opinion, given the increased empty space and slight squeeze forced on the station's logo. [ATTACH]4093[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]4094[/ATTACH] WECT just modified their supers the same but didn't change the color. The logo in the bug is a bit bigger and they took out wect.com.

CLETVFan 367 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 WOIO looks like they'll be retooling their morning show. They have postings for THREE anchor positions for AM - one "Alert Desk" anchor and two at the main desk. Tia Ewing is already gone, but no word on the other anchor Brian Duffy.

Duffy has been with 19 for awhile so they shouldn't move him. Is he still on 19? How the new weather guy from 5 doing? How the 11 pm team since Romona no longer doing the 11 pm, and Denise got the boot?

memnews 36 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 WECT just modified their supers the same but didn't change the color. The logo in the bug is a bit bigger and they took out wect.com. Now WMC has gone and edited the colors even more, making the leftmost vertical gold (to match their 5 symbol). Looks really weird, in my opinion...

sctvhound 27 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Channel 5 here in Charleston has changed their voiceover from Mark Peeples to a new guy. This started a day or two ago.

Rusty Muck 4379 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I wouldn't be surprised if WOIO uses a variant of WMC's color scheme. They need to knock off the "Cleveland 19" brand first, though.

NEOMatrix 1302 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 They need to knock off the "Cleveland 19" brand first, though. I'm taking bets on "CBS19" for WOIO and "19Plus" for WUAB.

TheRolyPoly 2466 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Kudos to Benson and Raycom for turning the station around and making VUE a serious competitor. Watch. WVUE will kill in the ratings across the day and beat WWL and WDSU. For those underestimating WVUE, watch out. Its more of WWL's TEGNA-ized that's making WVUE become a threat to other stations, including WWL itself.

CLETVFan 367 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 WOIO is going to air "Inside Edition" at 4:30pm on Monday through Friday (I posted this on the "Out and About" thread, but thought it would need mention here). I wonder if 19 is cutting its 4pm news in half or dropping it altogether.

[ATTACH]4093[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]4094[/ATTACH] WDAM is using the stretched time/temp bug as well and a new ticker that is entirely too big. They are now using the light blue graphics in the evening.

broadcastfan9751 140 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 KVHP will be launching ABC on channel 29.2. The CW, which is currently on 29.2 will move to KPLC 7.2.
