MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 986 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 WWMT is finally getting the Sinclair graphics! Noticed on their website this evening... They are sticking with the "Severe Weather Center 3" moniker.. So far I've noticed just the weather graphics, so I'm sure the entire package is coming soon.. Will watch at 11 to see... *10/19 Update: The Glass Curves graphics are fully in place -- However the music is not-- They are still using a version of the CBS Enforcer -- And the opening credits are much different than most the sister stations.. I don't have the program to record video, but it's worth checking out if you have means to... Also the website is still in the old format, unlike it's Michigan sister stations...

Samantha 2907 Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 That logo does not work in that graphics package. Oof.
Mrtraveler01 739 Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Have to give WWMT for thinking outside the box with their graphics package though. That open looks great and I actually think the logo is fine. We've seen some of the logos Sinclair has made recently and I think WWMT is lucky they were able to keep theirs.
TheRolyPoly 2659 Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Plus, the music is the same and not changed over, at least yet.
atlnews2 600 Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 I like the open for WWMT. It's nice to see someone show some creativity with the graphics. Also the logo works fine with the graphics (it's certainly better than the crap Sinclair has been rolling out recently). I'm curious as to why they haven't switched to the Sinclair news theme.
Breaking News 849 Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 How did WWMT have the CBS enforcer instead of the mandate package? very interesting.....
TennTV1983 811 Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 How did WWMT have the CBS enforcer instead of the mandate package? very interesting..... It wouldn't be the first case this has happened. KGAN didn't even start using Daily News, let alone any of Sinclair's music packages until 2012, and before that, they used Hello News for music.

KGAN didn't even start using Daily News, let alone any of Sinclair's music packages until 2012, and before that, they used Hello News for music. But in that case Hello News and the Sinclair package were both made by Gari.
ChesapeakeTV 312 Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 That's actually a pretty spiffy open there. I'm impressed at how well they made Enforcer fit with the graphics...though I guess it won't be lasting long. Here's hoping the customized open stays though.
susquvalleywgal 524 Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 And WHP CBS21 has been Sinclairized.
AJClementeFan69 477 Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 What in the absolute hell is their brand? "Local 21 CBS News"? (like their Facebook claims) "Local 21 News"? (their URL local21news.com) "CBS 21 News"? (like their Twitter claims) Is there some combo I'm missing here? WTF Sinclair.
C Block 1574 Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 KVAL switched to the Sinclair website layout today. As of this morning, they still have the old KOMO graphics. KMTR, meanwhile, is still stuck in the past. They have the Sinclair look for weather graphics, but they're otherwise still in 4:3 Fourth of July graphics and a dated website.
TheRolyPoly 2659 Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Just recently, WJAR's Turn to 10 website has now been Sinclair-ified with the new layout.
tw-804 194 Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 WRLH (Richmond), WTAT (Charleston), WMSN (Madison) and WDKY (Lexington) are the only stations that use the Daily News package. I bet they'll get the Sinclair News Package, new graphics and a new website layout in the beginning of 2016.

I bet they'll get the Sinclair News Package, new graphics and a new website layout in the beginning of 2016. Someone posted video of WTAT getting the new graphics and I imagine that it will correspond with the time WCIV takes over production of the newscasts from WCSC (Is there a date on when that's supposed to happen?). The remaining stations are stations where the newscasts are produced by another station (WRLH is produced by WWBT, WMSN is produced by WISC, and WDKY is produced by WKYT). I guess Sinclair hasn't gotten around to distributing the package to these stations and since I guess they are all outsourced newscasts, aren't a high priority on their list.
LexTVandRadio 418 Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 I guess the Gray graphics hub will be handling WDKY's graphics? WDKY is using the "glass" version on their facebook page. My guess it will look like WTAT.
tyrannical bastard 4084 Posted November 2, 2015 Author Posted November 2, 2015 What in the absolute hell is their brand? "Local 21 CBS News"? (like their Facebook claims) "Local 21 News"?

I didn't know WISC produced WMSN's newscasts.
Hexagonal10 84 Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Just recently, WJAR's Turn to 10 website has now been Sinclair-ified with the new layout. The livestream uses different software now, Livestream no longer works.

Big Country News 435 Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Since when do stations, not just employees but actual station twitter pages, tweet about graphics and music?
Big Country News 435 Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 I had asked about it. I know, but stations tweeting about it from their official pages is rare.
