I'm surprised they didn't go with the updated look that's rolling out.. took them long enough to finally make the switch... Now it looks like a cohesive newscast

WSBT and KHGI, you're next, hopefully.

It is also weird that the female co-anchor also does the weather forecast. I mean do they even have a meteorologist?

 

It's reversed in Shreveport. We actually have Ron Young, KSLA's morning meteorologist co-anchoring the news at 9am. He still does the weather for it, as well.

WSYX's new breaking news slate. Used today as they cut into ESPN Sports Saturday for news out of Westerville... two police officers were gunned down, both died at OSU Medical Center.

wset got the "updated" graphics. It looks even worse then the old open

What is going on with that animation in the new video? Looks like someone crudely came up with something in paint. The animation didn't flow at all compared to the older one.

A "Glass" version of this graphics update should not exist if it's going to look like THAT.

 

Now let's see how long until WBFF launches the updated Curves/Smart Glass graphics.

Yikes, what is up with the L3's and that font. Ugh.

I don't know how NTV did it, but they made the Sinclair graphics look cheaper than they already are.

Yeah, it's horrible. And, if you watch the end of the video, they don't even have the Sinclair weather graphics yet!

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.

 

Here's the KFOX version

Given that this finally killed off the "Start Here"-era bubbles that were a relic of when WSET was using Third Coast, I'll tolerate this.

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...

 

And further back, IIRC, Rob Jennings was the main anchor/weatherman on the weekend editions of Action News on WPVI, and I even remember seeing a 1992 KITV Honolulu segment from YouTube where Dan Cooke was the weatherman as well as being one of the anchors.
