Rusty Muck 4165 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 If anything it's sort of a throwback to their logo circa-1993...as well as a copy of WSAV's logo in Savannah. WKYC's was more of a symptom of being a recovering O&O.....Multimedia changed their 80's logo soon after they acquired a majority interest in them. It was more like the "NBC 4" logo that found its way onto the flagships in NY & LA in the 1990s. WKYC's "3" - at least the one shown above - also bore similarities to KSDK's and WLWT's "5" logos. Not that I minded; it was an upgrade over their mid-80s logo that was dated even back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. I thought that KATU and WKRC would have the non-Sinclair look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven 1944 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Interesting. I thought that KATU and WKRC would have the non-Sinclair look. It's interesting that KATU used the "Glass" music almost two years prior to getting the standardized graphic pack. What I'm shocked about is the graphic pack hasn't reached to the rest of the Fisher stations (including KIMA/KEPR & KVAL for example). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 748 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 And KATU doesn't even use the standard "colors" for the new graphics.. Especially in the weather part.. Watched this mornings newscast and the weather banners are in white & red, instead of the common light blue & yellow/gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched this mornings newscast and the weather banners are in white & red, instead of the common light blue & yellow/gold I'm real impressed with the animations in these graphics, it doesn't make the graphics look as cheap as they do with stations that don't bother to add any animation to them *cough* KOMO *cough*. Speaking of cheap, who was doing the VO? I think that's a new person doing the VO's for KATU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Block 1488 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I'm surprised that Sinclair hasn't upgraded KVAL's sister, KMTR to HD or 16:9 SD. The last I heard is that they're waiting to renovate KVAL's building on KVAL hill for KMTR to move into. KVAL isn't HD either — newscasts are in 16:9 SD.

Rusty Muck 4165 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Interesting. I thought that KATU and WKRC would have the non-Sinclair look. Given WKRC's extremely close proximity to WKEF/WRGT, adopting the standard Sinclair graphics would have been overkill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyHarry 719 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 The new logo is basically a copy of the WKYC logo from the 90's, someone at Sinclair must be a big fan of WKYC because the new KSNV logo used a similar looking "3" to what WKYC uses now. It also looks pretty much the same as the WREG logo too. That was a continuation of the standardized NBC affiliate branding first put in place in 1976. Not all NBC stations participated in this branding exercise, but many did as shown below. Forty years later, I still think this stuff looks good.

tw-804 190 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I'm watching WMSN's (Madison) live stream on Fox47.com and they switched to the new Sinclair graphics and music ("Curves"). That means WRLH here in Richmond is currently the ONLY Sinclair station that's still using the dated graphics and Gari's Daily News package. And BTW, they don't stream their newscasts online.

AJClementeFan69 477 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 KTVO (I believe SBG's smallest station) now has an, um, interesting "interpretation" of the Sinclair graphics...at least on the AM show... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tw-804 190 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 WLFL in Raleigh uses WTVD's package/music. Yeah, I know. But I'm talking about WRLH. It's like Sinclair's neglecting the station. Gari's Daily News package is dated. The orange and blue graphics are dated. Heck, the news set they've been using since the mid-2000s is dated (it's in WWBT's facility; recently they're using WWBT's studio for sports segments). It's been 11 years and it's time to LET THEM GO! I'm glad sister station WMSN (FOX) in Madison ditched their old graphics and Daily News back in November (yet they still using its current set), but WRLH should be using 615 Music's Sinclair theme and the new graphics by now. It's almost February. What's Sinclair doing? Oh, they're too busy changing their stations' looks, acquiring stations like WSBT, giving popular anchors and reporters pink-slips and building in-house news departments! Speaking of in-house news departments, Sinclair should give WRLH one (like Hazelton, PA's WOLF and Savannah's WTGS) and move it to a new building like Nexstar did with fellow Fox station WFXR in Roanoke. Wish WWBT could cancel their news share agreement with WRLH and move the 7am and 10pm news to sister station WUPV (they already have a 6:30pm newscast).

The WTGS & WOLF's news shows aren't really in-house. The WTGS show is produced from its sister station WPDE, while WOLF's show is produced from WSBT (WNWO's will also be produced there later this year; as of now, WSBT is not using the 615 pack either for its in-house shows).

WMSN's 9pm news is produced by WISC and uses the same set (just with a duratran of some sort instead of their newsroom background). Outsourcing local news is a joke.

When that happened, WPDE cut the 10pm news it had on WWMB and replaced it with an hour-long extension of its morning news at 7am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
