Big Country News 435 Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 I was looking through videos from KMID on their rarely updated Youtube Page, and I saw that their morning graphics had the old Pyburn Gannett backgrounds in them. [yt]D_zYcTlvvPE[/yt] Look in the background at the glass elements. You can notice that they are backgrounds from the previous Gannett package. Seen Here: https://vimeo.com/19345541 I know Nexstar hasn't updated KMID in... ever, but really?
Eat News 4745 Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 I know Nexstar hasn't updated KMID in... ever, but really? I saw a bunch of those old graphics sitting in the close out bin at the Dollar general store in Odessa last month.
alex979 119 Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 The bigger issue might be that they're calling a seven-day forecast "Five Day plus 2."
sanewsguy 521 Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 At this rate you can say that they're also using the old FOX O&O graphics illegally too (see the crime watch stinger at 2:38)...
tyrannical bastard 4678 Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 The biggest issue of all is that they're (and other Nexstar stations too) STILL in 4x3 SD!!!
Guest Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Hate to burst anyone's bubble here, but those look more like Digital Juice JumpBacks than the actual graphics from Gannett (or Fox). I know they look similar...

I know they look similar... I know they were from some stock library....I was being mostly sarcastic (tone does not travel well here!)

I know they look similar... That's what I figured. The sad thing is, that the old Gannett package is so bad, it LOOKS LIKE something done by Digital Juice! Now the old FOX O&O look.....was it actually distributed freely to FOX affiliates to use at little or no cost? I know that NJJ's "Fox 1998 Afflilate Music" package was like that...

I'm not 100% sure, but it's very possible it was free considering the number of very small market Fox stations that picked up a version of those graphics. (WFFF, KEVN come to mind.)
