Leavellebrett 85 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 WSET has the new graphics. Yes, but they're mixed with the old ones and the ABC: Start Here animation. It's horrid.

Mrtraveler01 738 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Outside of the godawful open, the implementation of these graphics actually look fine. But the random floating text and ABC Start Here graphics have got to go.

MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 917 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I also agree... Going outside the "set norm" for these Sinclair opens is commended.. But those glassy buttons and that horrid ABC Starts Here text... ICK!!

T.L. Hughes 890 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I also agree... Going outside the "set norm" for these Sinclair opens is commended.. But those glassy buttons and that horrid ABC Starts Here text... ICK!! The fact that the "Start Here" icons are incorporated into the open doesn't make sense, since ABC stopped using that slogan two years ago. The usage of the stripe design from the last Allbritton-era package seems would have integrated better had they changed the font for the "Coverage You Can Count On" text from BankGothic to DIN to match Sinclair's standardized look (the time/temp bug doesn't look like those used by the other Sinclair stations either).

tyrannical bastard 3955 Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 Going outside of the box is a good thing....when it looks seamless and not with prior elements slapped in there when they look totally out of place...

NEOMatrix 1299 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I'm actually surprised that Sinclair allowed a lot of leeway for WSET to make big modifications like that. Granted, it looks disjointed and weird, but I am surprised.

tyrannical bastard 3955 Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 The sad thing about WKRC's current look is that Nexstar has used it to the point it could be considered one of their own packages. Even though it was all a Newport thing (and their rechristening of WPMI "NBC 15" as "Local 15"), Sinclair was asleep at the wheel when Nexstar rechristened Newport's former WPTY "ABC 24" as WATN "Local 24". Several other Nexstar stations, including WJET/WFXP have also picked up the look. It's equally puzzling that "The Weather Authority" didn't survive at WPMI. Because Sinclair has taken it and ran with it at MANY of their stations after they acquired Newport! It's only a matter of time before WKRC and the others are Sinclair-ized.....

tyrannical bastard 3955 Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 Speaking of SNL, why don't they mock Sinclair's reliance of shell companies? I think the closest they came to mocking local TV was their Atlanta-themed TV skit “Right Side of the Bed with Gracelynn and Cory" that seemed like a cross between "Atlanta and Company" and that god-awful "Chrisley Knows Best" show on E! If Sinclair keeps up their efforts, they'll be a target for parody like Fox and CNN are. Mark Hyman should be laying low now that the tables have turned once someone pulls up his stolen Simpsons' reference to a certain country he mocked that was recently attacked... Give them time....they'll just re-purpose it as a "Wasted Tax Dollars" alert when all this furor calms down.....
