Weeters 1916 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 It's not really that exciting... We've all seen it a thousand times... Yeah, it's going to be exactly what every other Scripps station has, but with the TMJ4 logo in it... It's just nice to know this current graphics package is on it's death bed. It's lasted about 5 years longer than it should have. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14682-wtmjs-future/page/5/#findComment-150256 Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublejman69 124 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Am I the only one that doesn't like Scripps graphics package? I think its the weakest Renderon has done yet. Anyways rumor has it that Journal had commission Renderon to create new graphics for all its stations but it was shelved while the merger was going on. It would have been interesting what Scripps would have done if the Journal stations got those graphics, knowing Scripps they would probably ditch them to use its outdated graphics package.

The current Scripps package is the lesser of two evils versus the Journal mess.

MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 915 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 The previous Scripp's package was 100x worse than the current one... I like the current Scripp's package better and will suit the new stations they picked up much better than their current one.

Weeters 1916 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 They aired credits at the end of last night's 10:30 news that used the Scripps fullscreen look (though the background was just black???) and Inergy playing under it. It looked really sloppy. I guess the people who made this classic aren't there anymore. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5d1GXxRBtw Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14682-wtmjs-future/page/5/#findComment-150498 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked really sloppy. I guess the people who made this classic aren't there anymore. I don't think I've seen a credit roll on TMJ for decades (WISN does it to close out the old year traditionally). In fact I rarely see credits rolls anymore for news outside of that and the ESPN Christmas Credits Extravaganza since it's become a 'check our website' mentality and producers prefer to find some random HI/viral video story now to fill out any time left rather than tolerate any tune-out.

Webovision 202 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Half those people are probably dead. you'd think that, but point to any name under "engineering" and there is around a 75% chance that they are still there, or are listed next to someone who is still there... they hired a lot of young engineers in the 80's to replace the original engineers who were retiring...

nathannah 2429 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Launched on the noon show and so far they look pretty good...the left side of the TMJ logo got hemmed in to fit the package, but that's probably for the best.

atlnews2 591 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 It's amazing what a difference a new graphics package can make (even if that package is already 3 years old). It looks good. They do need to find something better to put in the "promotion box" than "your Olympic station".

I didn't see all of Live At Noon so did talent opens make a return? Or doesn't Scripps do those?
