Darius22 120 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 For some reason i have seen KTXL use these graphics since 2008 from their last package when they used the FOX O&O Theme and even after their current graphics they still use it. their sister Tribune-FOX stations like WXMI and WXIN uses Weather graphics that match their main Graphics and KTXL manages to not keep up with them?

Weeters 1811 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Because they look like they match the current look anyways and why fix what's not broken? Depending on their weather software vendor it might cost them money to have new graphics loaded in. So again, why fix what isn't broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper550 268 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 WFXT still uses weather graphics based on the previous O&O look with the new one, so what's the problem with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess its the reason why KOVR Gets more attention with its Advanced Weather Graphics. WFXT still uses weather graphics based on the previous O&O look with the new one, so what's the problem with that? I figured that, its just what boggles me that they still use it.

SFTV 484 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Once in a blue moon, KPIX would throw in the Glassy CBS Wallpaper from the 2010-2012 O&O look on its weather headlines. So it looks like they didn't fully delete it on their system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 As an art director for a major market station, I can shed some light on this: Laziness. I've got other things to do than update that :10 billboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
