Guest NewsHound Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I can't believe that WJBF is STILL using the original Media General graphics package, I'll be happy when they get the new package. I wouldn't hold my breath. WJBF is known for trying to keep things status quo to the point that it becomes extremely stale. They're the last MG station to still use the JDK Music package as well. WJBF could use new graphics, new set, new music. They could even stand to make some syndicated programming changes (move Steve Harvey to 4pm opposite Ellen on WRDW instead of Judge Mathis). They won't though. Their CSD notoriously passed on the circles package (WAGT got them instead), passed on Stephen Arnold's Canvas package, and is likely the reason WJBF is the only legacy Spartan station that still has the stupid crescent in their logo. Lets face it, the CSD at WJBF is likely friends with KC Robertson at WJZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember in a broadcast recently at 7, WJHL used the JDK package, and after Sinclair purchased WJAR, the pretease which happened only about once in the livestream used it.

I believe WJHL has since dropped it, and if they haven't then I stand corrected. My point is, WJBF will probably still be using the 2008 WFLA HD graphics bastardized to hell, the same shitty cuts of JDK Music package, and will still keep everything status quo for years to come. Here's to hoping that WAGT's shut down puts renewed interest in getting WJBF updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did have an animated bug with social larts recently and the WJHL newscast I watched was 2 days ago. But yes WKRG still has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannical bastard 3470 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Nexstar will hopefully finally force a Stephen Arnold theme on both stations. It would be the perfect 180 to the mass exodus of SAM themes due to the SESAC fiasco 10 years ago.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, unless there is a change in vendor relationships there's about a 100 percent chance that an Arnold pack will be coming on strong, and probably a graphics package as well.

I'll put $5 down that WJBF will go back to Counterpoint. They already own the CDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daybreak 269 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Looks like WBTW has switched to the new MG graphics. Yeah. They switched last week. The new graphics and color scheme on the set actually make me like these graphics, even though they're knock offs of Scripps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGSJenkins 432 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 WRIC will switch to the graphics seen on WATE and WSPA soon because this popped up during the tease yesterday. They are still using the old graphics for news and weather.

RGSJenkins 432 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 KHON switched their weather graphics to the old Young Broadcasting package on Wednesday evening, I know they had the old package even before they went HD in 2013. The main graphics remain the same. Old: New: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
