CircleSeven 1944 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Final rehearsal before Monday evening's 4pm debut. And if you see in the bottom right, it looks like they're testing the new bug. [MEDIA=twitter]741437638037606400[/MEDIA] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AA55 39 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I want to chime in about WNBC's new graphics. They are extraordinary. They blow the updates of CBS 2 and ABC 7 out of the water. This now solidifies News 4 New York as being serous about being a news leader in the number one market again. The look is forward thinking and attractive and smart. I am obsessed. Do I sound crazy? I know...I do. It's just perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Newsroom 1150 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 These graphics are some of this station's best in its history. It's the little things that make this package work wonders. The use/utilizing of colors, shades, gradients, the diagrid Peacock, the T/T bug and animation of the L3s are all brilliant. Also, the use of the white bar on top can also work for things like Breaking News, Storm Team 4 and other specifically-named segements. If they remove it (and maybe the bottom line with the SO info too) from being seen throughout the entire newscast, it'll be so much better. All-in-all, best graphics they've (probably ever) had and the best in the market, and will definitely help the station become even more competitive.

nynewsguy 66 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I'm not one to normally give props to competing stations - but WNBC really got this right - the entire package is superb, as opposed to WABC which took a step back in time with their latest graphics/opens. Shame on Camille for not sticking with FX or Renderon for the graphics - the graphics on WABC look worse now than the in-house package from a decade ago.

Vlad 276 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Does anyone have any recordings of the new graphics or screenshots to show the new graphics? I'll check on YouTube to see if I can find anything. WNBC has always been the leader when it comes to graphic design and on-air presentation throughout NYC's history. I remember back in 2003 when we had a similar discussion as to how they had some of the best graphics in town. I'm really eager to see how these compare to WCBS / WABC's update. Though I'm sure they are better than WABC's since WABC's new graphics in my opinion are the worst in the city. Every station in the NYC area beats WABC's new graphics.

Vlad 276 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Found a quick open on YouTube, looks good! Can't wait to see how they use it based on that brief preview, looks much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I put that video up. I agree with you BTW that it does look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would really think that WABC and the others would be asking Pixar (or whoever they own) to design the baddest and best full motion CGI stuff. These idiots are connected to movie studios...why are they holding back in real graphic design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These idiots are connected to movie studios...why are they holding back in real graphic design? Because it's Disney, and motion graphics are not what they do for a living. That's Troika's job (or whoever else they use for network graphics). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
