MonkeyFighter 15 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I noticed that KBAK/KBFX has added a bunch of clutter to their graphics on all newscasts. Are other Sinclair stations doing this? Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14233-the-sinclair-ization-thread/page/19/#findComment-143128 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannical bastard 3955 Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 It looks like the standard issue ticker mess.....glorified to fill a 16x9 screen.

CircleSeven 1955 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Sister station to the north KMPH, is using the "Curves" gfx package. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14233-the-sinclair-ization-thread/page/19/#findComment-143686 Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ATTACH=full]2533[/ATTACH] KOKH has a similar version of that ticker (although formatted for the 4:3 safe area) for its weekday morning newscast.

MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 917 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 WWMT is now 100% "Sinclair-ized" as they have FINALLY switched to the new Sinclair website layout -- much better than the POS Freedom Broadcasting layout they had Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14233-the-sinclair-ization-thread/page/19/#findComment-143759 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexTVandRadio 418 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 WDKY is a go for tonight. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14233-the-sinclair-ization-thread/page/19/#findComment-143764 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkytdirector 8 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 A little birdie tells me that WDKY will be launching the new look tonight at 10. It's long overdue, but it's finally here! Edit- just saw jtb_ky's post above. Sorry for the double post!

LexTVandRadio 418 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 No worries, glad to see it happening. Hopefully Sinclair did a good job for WDKY.

TheRolyPoly 2449 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I have a feeling that the music/graphics will be from "Curves" and not form "Glass," which is the package I like best from Sinclair.

CircleSeven 1955 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 They need to fix that L3 super so it can be aligned with the bug. That's extremely tacky.

LexTVandRadio 418 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Yeah I hope they fix that. Heard they were having some problems with the compatibility with WKYT's graphics.

atlnews2 591 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Is it common for stations using the new graphics to have 2 "LIVE" graphics on the screen ? WTVC seems to do this http://newschannel9.com/news/local/icy-roads-cause-accidents-in-mcminn-county Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14233-the-sinclair-ization-thread/page/19/#findComment-143932 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesapeakeTV 311 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hmm...they may not be staying with Sinclair long, but it seems that Curves sneaked in a few months ago at WLUC for Friday Night Fever. It doesn't seem to have replaced Advantage anywhere else.

Viper550 291 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Yeah, even I can tell it seems a bit off-model. Especially the animations too (personally, I think they'd look a lot better if they actually animated just like WKYT's Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14233-the-sinclair-ization-thread/page/19/#findComment-143978 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 2449 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 WGXA.TV is under the new website format, but I believe they are still broadcasting local news in 4:3 SD.

Viper550 291 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 So as I mentioned in chat, I speculate the Syracuse (CNY Central) cluster might be next at some point, because they had an ad on the boards during the AHL All-Star Game that had new logos that seemed similar to ones other Sinclair stations had been switching to when they got Sinclair-ified Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14233-the-sinclair-ization-thread/page/19/#findComment-144899 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leavellebrett 85 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 According to their Facebook page, WJAC has changed to the new graphics. Not sure about the music. I'm going to watch tonight. Also not sure about WWCP. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14233-the-sinclair-ization-thread/page/19/#findComment-144901 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sendir 194 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 KUTV is Sinclair and yet they just debuted this graphics package with the Sinclair music. Did someone finally stand up for the ugly graphics package? Their lower thirds are not the same as all Sinclair stations: Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14233-the-sinclair-ization-thread/page/19/#findComment-144917 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did someone finally stand up for the ugly graphics package? Their lower thirds are not the same as all Sinclair stations: Wow, those look really good. Hard to believe they're on a Sinclair station. I guess since KUTV has been one of the best performing stations in the entire Sinclair station group, I guess they could get away with stuff like this.
