toxictwister00 25 Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 I'm looking at the noon newscast and noticed WSB has done a complete overhaul of their lower thirds among other things. Could there actually be a new set overhaul coming very soon also? I'll try to post a few pictures of what they look like soon. EDIT: The lower thirds look like a modified version of what they had before and they're mixing the old graphics with the new. Also the logo has the blue BG like it used to.
MidwestTV 1243 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 How long have they had that package? It seems like it's been the same one with some minor refreshes for ages.

Hickman360 21 Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 From the SD channel they're still using 4:3 ratio
Journalist 894 Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Wow, that's underwhelming. Not even a font change either. WSVN: The Second Installment I guess.
skbl17 188 Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 During the 2010 graphics rollout, WSB decided to switchover in stages. The weather department got the updated pack in the summer of 2009, then the promos a few months later, then came the September 2010 switch of all other graphics. There's the possibility that this is also a staged rollout, but with the in-show elements (L3s and split screens) getting updated first. If this is a staged rollout, I'll wait until the rollout is completed before judging any refreshed WSB graphics package. It could be a matter of weeks, it could be a whole year. Plus, WSB does tend to not upset the apple cart as much as other Atlanta stations do. WXIA's still having a stroke in its creative services department, WGCL is...WGCL, and WAGA got a nice new set last year but still uses the (bad) O&O graphics.
MidwestTV 1243 Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 I just realized this, why is this thread in Sets & Studios and not Graphics?
