C Block 1566 Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Some elements started to pop up a few weeks ago, but it looks like some (maybe all?) of the Fox O&Os received some graphics upgrades. I'd say it's a pretty good improvement if it weren't for the still horrid typography on the lower thirds, and it looks like these new pieces are still mixed in with a lot of the old ones. Some grabs from KTVU: Lower third: Lower third with UTS. OTSes are still too hard I guess. Full screen (with a proper headline now!) I only took a peek at KTTV, but it looks like they got something slightly different: And here's what showed up on WTVT with their new set (grabbed from the chat box): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsBgiToYoRQ
mike91 67 Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 I did notice that WJZY moved their bug outside of the safe zone, and the bug is now cycling between "FOX 46" and "WJZY" (the WJZY is as generic as it comes), but I have not noticed any other changes. As for WTVT: the new set is nice overall, but I'm not really sold on having the screen in the background of the anchors, I feel as if that dominates the backdrop and takes away from the newsroom background (which they have a very nice newsroom).
AaronQ 282 Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 You may add FOX 29 to the list. [MEDIA=twitter]651517091250614273[/MEDIA] Edit: And WJZY as well. [MEDIA=imgur]cos8ohS[/MEDIA]
Weeters 1969 Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 I think the KTVU changes are a compelely seperate thing from the other O&O changes. They've been doing a lot in-house. As for the other O&O's... More FOX News Channel-esque trash. Ugh.
TexasTVNews 1378 Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 KDFW debut their updated graphics at Noon time.
Dk_mediaNYC 30 Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Fox 5 has them in NY started today but had many errors with them the social media popup on top of the l3 would be blank for 5 or more seconds until the @name would popup
Dk_mediaNYC 30 Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 I do not think they preped for the update?
skbl17 188 Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 WAGA has the updates as well. The FOX O&O look is still ugly. I'm jealous that KTVU gets (relatively speaking) so much freedom compared to other O&Os.
HowardSalwasser 28 Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 KMSP has also adopted the changes. No GIFs, unfortunately, but they do look very FNCesque.
Guest Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Let me save you all some time: every Fox O&O got them.
WestleyWolf 122 Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Let me save you all some time: every Fox O&O got them. except the former O&Os: WFXT, WHBQ (All Original Graphics)
mardek1995 200 Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I've noticed that the Fox O&O graphics v3.5 have different versions (and I call said graphics v3.5 because while the on air graphics themselves are updated, the opens are still the same from the Fox O&O v3 graphics). The graphics that look like FNC's graphics are what I call v3.5A and KTTV, WTXF, KRIV, WJBK, and KMSP have that version. The graphics that are only mildly updated are what I call v3.5B and most Fox other O&Os have that version except KDFW, which has what I call v3.5C (which is the same thing as v3.5B, but the left side of lower thirds stays on throughout most of the newscast). And according to some of the Fox O&O's livestreams, some even have a mix of said versions.
atlnews2 595 Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 I figured I would put this here since it really isn't a new graphics package and more of a tweak. KTBC has a new open; they have also replaced the Fox 7 News Edge branding (FINALLY!!!) with Fox 7 News
MikePulse 319 Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 I figured I would put this here since it really isn't a new graphics package and more of a tweak. KTBC has a new open; they have also replaced the Fox 7 News Edge branding (FINALLY!!!) with Fox 7 News RIP Fox 7 News Edge. You WILL NOT be missed. Back to subject, a tad convoluted new open, don't you think?
tyrannical bastard 4033 Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 It adds some depth into the O&O packages again. It seems like KTVU kept a lot of their former Cox-ness in these upgrades as these seem more like the original graphics they had before the swap.
WCAUTVNBC10 413 Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 I figured I would put this here since it really isn't a new graphics package and more of a tweak. KTBC has a new open; they have also replaced the Fox 7 News Edge branding (FINALLY!!!) with Fox 7 News WTXF uses that style for its rejoins (they don't do full opens anymore).
Julian Q 0 Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 I wonder if KTTV LA going to tweak or upgrade their graphic packages soon! KTTV launched in HD last two weeks
Big Country News 435 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 FOX O&O's have updated their "You Decide" graphics before Super Tuesday.
ATLNewsHawk 13 Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 WAGA debuted a new open and transitions on their 10 PM newscast. I would post screenshots but FOX5's live-streaming is down on FOX5Atlanta.com.
ATLNewsHawk 13 Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 New transitions from WAGA-TV in Atlanta... pardon the play button.
TexasTVNews 1378 Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 I can tell we should be seeing thins on all FOX O&O's come late this year or early 2017.
SFTV 532 Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 KTVU is using some of these title cards but one thing I dislike is that they are mish mashing the red background for the title cards but the full screen graphics is the yellow background. I'm also surprised they still haven't deleted some of the COX Hothaus graphics. They seem to pop up on the newscasts.
