mardek1995 200 Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Say what you will about Sinclair, but I've noticed that they've rolled out their graphics to their stations more efficiently than TEGNA has. Even their Texas cluster and WJLA had updates sooner than TEGNA's Texas cluster and WUSA (I've detailed that part more in the TEGNA's new graphics thread so see that for more info).
Viper550 292 Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 The Sinclair Flag Mandate got applied to KPTM as well, which otherwise uses the current Fox O&O graphics but with the Sinclair weather graphics. Somehow, I think it actually makes it look better there. And trust me, putting a flag on it feels like something Fox would do to begin with if they ran their local operations with FNC's political positions.
Mrtraveler01 738 Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 KTVO in Kirksville, MO (Market #210) has finally gotten the Sinclair look with the conversion to the WSYX version of the Sinclair graphics. In addition, they have received a new set as well as a new logo.

In addition, they have received a new set as well as a new logo. Huh, they are using the "glass" variant of the graphics in the beginning but also using "curves" throughout the weather segment (watch at end). Weird.
tyrannical bastard 4033 Posted March 22, 2018 Author Posted March 22, 2018 Considering what they had, and the market size, this is very impressive.

MyNewsArchive 197 Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 Here's KTVO's opening from last night. I like the new logo, compared to the previous one.

And trust me, putting a flag on it feels like something Fox would do to begin with if they ran their local operations with FNC's political positions. Are there any other Sinclair stations that don't use the standard Sinclair graphics and theme music? Any chance of this happening with Tribune's stations once the merger is approved?

kfc513 238 Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 WKRC and KUTV have their own graphics. WKRC uses the "Curves" music with their graphics.
Rusty Muck 4403 Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 WKRC uses the "Curves" music with their graphics. WKEF/WRGT is right in WKRC/WSTR's background, so a unique look for WKRC is not that surprising.
susquvalleywgal 521 Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 [MEDIA=twitter]980625521267572737[/MEDIA] Newer graphics coming to WBFF? — Matt
CaptainNews 287 Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 Hmm. I do certainly like the Orange. [MEDIA=twitter]981639159600308226[/MEDIA]
Viper550 292 Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 KOMO is using the Mach 2 weather graphics, though it's still the original graphics elsewhere (with their enlarged bug that messes up the balance of things. Even KATU's version looks better).
MyNewsArchive 197 Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 KHGI have now updated their weather graphics. (Don't ask me why they are using 2 "First Alert Weather" logos)

Any chance of this happening with Tribune's stations once the merger is approved? I know there still some former Boten stations that hasn't recieved the Sinclair graphics/music as of yet (WCYB included)
Viper550 292 Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 KOMO got the animation on the flag to work, and it's way too fast.
xoddf2 2 Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 I know there still some former Boten stations that hasn't recieved the Sinclair graphics/music as of yet (WCYB included) I can confirm their Chico-Redding station (KRCR-TV) still being on the old pre-Sinclair graphics (and Signature music package).
Mrtraveler01 738 Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 KOMO got the animation on the flag to work, and it's way too fast. I know it sounds unpatriotic but they really need to get rid of the flag on the L3s. Unless it's a political story, it makes no sense having it being used for stories like someone getting beaten up to death or some road construction project.
bhratbrat 437 Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 KPTMs newscast is using a variation of the FOX O&O graphics even with Flag L3 (and that looks way better) and Convergence
bhratbrat 437 Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 I know currently the newscast is outsourced..but this is somewhat of a Gem as well. SPECTRUM NEWS on ABC45 (WXLV)

Any chance of this happening with Tribune's stations once the merger is approved? WRLH still has the old, dated Sinclair graphics (except for weather; WWBT's Raycom graphics are used) and Gari's Daily News package and that set should've been retired a long time ago. WWBT's ticker is used during the newscasts. I wonder if WWBT will continue the news share agreement after WRLH becomes a Standard Media Group station or move the 7am and 10pm newscasts to sister station WUPV under the NBC12 News on CW Richmond name like the 4:30pm newscast. Here's a clip from WRLH's morning news back in 2017. The lower thirds back in 2009 (10:00 news). They became larger a few years later.
Mrtraveler01 738 Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Not sure when it happened. But KUTV now has the black and white version of the V2 graphics.
