LexTVandRadio 418 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I like it. WZTV and WDKY had the same logo with the blue/yellow scheme. Maybe WDKY will update their logo.

Back then, a dual-stream station was almost unheard of. Are they even passing through ANYTHING (other than network content) in HD?!?!?!? That's so 2010 when stations only had network feeds, and if they were lucky, newscasts in HD as upgrading everything else was a herculean task at the time as file-based everything was just starting to take over....

MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 917 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Does this make sense: New graphics package - new website.. Right? Seeing that Sinclair is going gung-ho overhauling everything, do the stations have the final say on things like the graphics and website?? WWMT got their graphics a few weeks ago but still have their god-awful website layout.. Their sister stations all have the new website layout... I just don't get it...

WWMT got their graphics a few weeks ago but still have their god-awful website layout.. Their sister stations all have the new website layout... I just don't get it... Since corporate is making these moves, the stations and their staff are at their mercy whenever they decide to roll into town. Every change is its own sweeping schedule. There's the web team, the graphics team, etc....and these changes can be far apart since all the people at the station can do is watch and have little say on when the implementation takes place. The only exception are those lucky few that are so difficult to upgrade, they have to do it themselves, with corporate nudging them every few days (Is it done yet?....Is it done yet?) Set upgrades may be different, if more of a total change is required. And if the workflow completely changes (and even location if they're packing up and moving to new digs) that's when you'll see the good-old top-to-bottom rebranding when all is good and new.

cg41386 132 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 When are KVAL and KMTR going to get Sinclair-ized? They are now. KVAL and all its satellites have the new layout, as does KMTR (along with a new logo). KIMA/KEPR also have the new layout, while KLEW does not.

TheRolyPoly 2447 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 ... while KLEW does not. Neither does KOMO. But KBOI does have it. The only stations left from Fisher Communications that have yet switched to the new Sinclair layout are: KOMO KBAK/KBFX KLEW Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14233-the-sinclair-ization-thread/page/16/#findComment-140632 Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.L. Hughes 890 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 In keeping with the thread's topic, one aspect of the current Sinclair look is of course, 615's "Sinclair News Package". News Music Now added more base cuts from both "Glass" and "Curves" a couple of days ago (they previously only had the primary open and headline bed of "Curves"). Oddly, only the open themes and headline beds are distinct in the packages, but if you listen to all of the other samples added to the site, they're basically carbon copies (the only distinction is in the opening signature of the franchise opens as well as the entirety of the sports opens, which are a little softer in "Curves").

tyrannical bastard 3955 Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 Only the web layouts have changed thus far (with the modified and new respective logos). The on air looks are still the same as before.....for now...

T.L. Hughes 890 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Oh god that KMTR logo is awful The new logo isn't awful per se. But it is incredibly generic, not to mention the fact it looks like a near-identical twin of the logo KTGF used during the late 1980s/early 1990s when it was an NBC affiliate.

C Block 1566 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 KMTR has been using the Sinclair weather graphics for more than a month now. But everything else is the same...including the 4:3 aspect ratio. KVAL also has a modified logo on its new website, and I actually think it looks pretty good. It was rumored KVAL and KMTR would co-locate into a new building. If things were to change, you'd think it would be if/when they ever move, though I don't know if those are actual, active plans. Right now, they're in separate buildings on opposite sides of Eugene/Springfield.

cg41386 132 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 WICS now has the website layout. As does WTVC, with a slightly different-looking "News Channel" portion of the logo. KOKH has the new layout as well. As does WHAM.
