cg41386 132 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I was watching KOMO’s coverage of the train derailment yesterday and noticed the flag wasn’t animated.

MyNewsArchive 197 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Also, one of Sinclair's newly owned station (from the Bonten Media Group acquisition) KTXS 12 in Abilene, TX has the flag (and yes it animates) but no Sinclair graphics yet.

TheMassMediaGeek 98 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I recently searched the NMSA and apparently KVAL in Eugene, OR has switched to the sinclair music. Unsure about gfx though.

I was the one who notified NMSA about KVAL using the Sinclair news package, I even recorded the intro but no new graphics yet.

Oh my God they're using the gorgeous KOMO package that KOMO used before they had to switch to the Sincrap package. It's terrible that history is going to repeat itself.

NewsStar2 90 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Also, one of Sinclair's newly owned station (from the Bonten Media Group acquisition) KTXS 12 in Abilene, TX has the flag (and yes it animates) but no Sinclair graphics yet. The flag has been part of the Lower 3rd for a brief amount of time and the only Sinclair music & graphics currently appearing on the station that I've seen are when they use the "Terrorism Alert Desk" segments. I was in San Angelo yesterday and am currently in Abilene. I think they are still trying to sort out some issues with the placement of an updated time/temperature graphic. The simulcast on KTXE (ABC 38) showed what I guess is now the previous placement. This morning I was watching the news and it wasn't even completely on the screen on the tv in my hotel room. It appeared to be when I was recording it on my laptop though, albeit just barely.

MyNewsArchive 197 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 So far, most the former Bonten media group stations (which Sinclair acquired in Sept) recieved the Sinclair website design.

Guest Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Not sure if this was been mentioned anywhere, but had anyone seen what's come out of KDBC lately? It's like they're trying to incorporate the "glass eye" of the old CBS O&O pack from a few years ago along with the Sinclair graphics and the color red and it's failing miserably.

Yeah, most of the Sinclair FOX affiliates (i think) are using this variation of the graphics, and maybe some other sinclair stations.

Rusty Muck 4378 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I know we all hate Sinclair and everything but I think they have the most gorgeous websites of any station group. Clean, modern, simple. That is true. Considering the garbage layout that the preceding format had, however, anything would have been an improvement.

I've never seen anchors names pop up so many damn times as this... Every time they switched shots, there was the anchor's names... They must think we have dementia or something....

I mean do they even have a meteorologist? If they do this kind of setup, it's usually weekends... I know for the longest time, KNXV here in Phoenix used Nick Ciletti as both the anchor and weather anchor... I don't think he's even certified/degreed in meteorology, as he never ran the futurecast models or anything that required meteorological analysis...

I'm on vacation in Orlando all the time. Every time I'm there, I watch WFTV and every time I do, the anchor's name always pops up for every story. Its ridiculous.

djlynch 56 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I think that Allison Miller from KEYE has done news and weather a few times since she shifted from morning meteorologist to morning anchor a few years back. They also have the anchor do the weather on their Telemundo digital subchannel.

DetroitTVNews 66 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 As of today, WPBN/WTOM in northern Michigan has made the switch. They are using what looks like the first version of Glass, oddly enough.

MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 917 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I'm surprised they didn't go with the updated look that's rolling out.. took them long enough to finally make the switch...
