tyrannical bastard 3464 Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 As mentioned in the Sets/Studios section...WSYX and WTTE are getting a new set and have refreshed their graphics to the same color scheme that WLUK and KOKH are using.

Mrapmcdowell 1 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 ABC3340 wbma Birmingham has launched the updated Sinclair graphics package of curves today. I must admit it looks better than before. The introduction of the red color helps balance out so much blue. The lower third font looks darker than before, more legible from afar. But I do not think the font itself has changed??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrannical bastard 3464 Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 I hope there's some more diversity in future rollouts. So far, they're all in the same color scheme as a modified version of "Curves". And in some less encouraging news, it looks like WTTE is using the exact same package alongside sidecar WSYX. They used to be different. I hope they have plans for markets like San Antonio and Mobile/Pensacaola... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlnews2 557 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 what stations have the updated Sinclair graphics? (besides WLUK, KOKH, and WBMA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC-R 15 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 WSET 13 Roanoke has the updated graphics with 2 things 1) Steve Kamer as the new voiceover 2) The open uses a version of Curves (?) I have not heard of. (Maybe a lower pitched version of the main theme). Edit: I didn't post pictures because they are just exactly the same for WSYX and WBMA. The open is just a little longer for the "Coverage You Can Count On " tagline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkolsen 1678 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 WBFF’s chyrons appear to have gone all patriotic. Towards the right hand side of the chyron (where there’s rarely any text) a waving American flag is faded in as the background. I just noticed this last night after the World Series and it’s still there this morning. Has this moved to any other Sinclair stations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColDayNews 437 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Here it is from WSYX in 2002... I loved these graphics. This is from the NewsCenter era and when they adopted Convergence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're trying to imitate Fox News Channel from the early-mid 2000s, that's a good imitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is from the NewsCenter era and when they adopted Convergence. I never liked that update. The flag seemed tacked on, and it was probably done in response to the graphics that 10TV threw together after 9/11. The original package with News Matrix was much better. I've never been a fan of stations that constantly tweak their graphics to suit their needs. After a while, it starts to bastardize the whole look and feel.

I can hear Richard Malmos' voice now: "Now LIVE from WSYX-TV... this is NewsCenter on ABC-6." "You're watching NewsCenter on ABC-6, with Charlene Brown... and Bob Hetherington."

I thought the Sinclair rollout of these graphics were just sending out a template to the stations and say make it work. Sounds like they may be standardizing on hardware if they are remotely updating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m waiting until 2020when they put Trumps head on the L3’s by mandate so the sheeple stay hypnotized. Don’t laugh. That can easily happen. Like with this stunt they are preparing to do. — Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
