Geoffrey 779 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Just noticed that News 12 Long Island is using new graphics and new music. The graphics are much simpler. The info bar is a solid blue and it's "broken," so the News 12 LI logo on the left and the time/temp on the right are separated from the main portion. When they do weather, sports scores, stocks, etc., the height of the box shrinks from fitting two lines of text to just one. It's also interesting to note that the info bar (or at least the logo and the time/temp) is 16:9, though the lower-thirds seem to be inside the SD safe area. The lower-thirds and weather graphics remind me of KABC's look. The "live" bug has been moved to the upper left. The opens seem to have been replaced by quick montages of the anchors in the studio ending with the logo and slogan on black. No announcer is used. The music is different. I don't recognize it (but I haven't been as "up" on themes lately). I'm not able to get screenshots yet... Maybe someone else could grab a few to share. Overall, I'm not a huge fan... seems too simple for me but that's the way most graphics seems to me moving lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthonyz 26 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Not surprised with the new graphics since the website and apps were updated a month ago. The graphics to me has a mix of Look D and the Cablevision Samsung Cable Box graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynewslover 269 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Still the old graphics here in Hudson Valley.. I saw them on the app and the new ones are better than what we have. I assume well get them in the next few weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSSZNews 1046 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I'd need to see some animations, but on first glance the lowers etc. are a poor man's KABC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 1847 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Watching News 12 Long Island right NOW through Nowhere TV on Roku... So far so good. Yes, the music is different now as well as the graphics and they do look like KABC's old/KGO's current graphics and both the logo and time/temp bugs are 16:9 now. The other News 12 Networks still have the old graphics and music. EDIT: News 12 Long Island's Traffic and Weather Channel has also been updated to reflect the main channel's new graphics.

RGSJenkins 432 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 It's not a great video but I managed to get a promo with the new theme and an open of the new graphics though the News 12 Interactive channel. The lower bar is missing due to being a replay. There's different cuts of the new theme because I recorded a 8:30 pm open today and the music was different and here's the link to that. https://www.dropbox.com/s/r6mzjd4n3ckdkw6/DSCN0814.AVI?dl=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSSZNews 1046 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Is it me or does it sound like "This is the Place" ? Not quite... It does sound Arnold-like though. It could be a custom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABC 7 Denver 1554 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Is it me or does it sound like "This is the Place" ? That's definitely Arnold. He demoed this signature to Media General when Canvas was being composed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinevision 3 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I hate it. The info bars look too much like a Win 10 desktop. The intros and segues remind me of the Carey era at PIX 11. Wonder if this change has been made as Cablevision has been sold to Altice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if this change has been made as Cablevision has been sold to Altice. Oh, I forgot about that deal. I hope they integrate CSC/Optimum with Suddenlink more- offering HBO Now and Freewheel to Suddenlink customers, and establishing other News 12 outposts in Suddenlink areas.

TheRolyPoly 1847 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 And now New Jersey is the last with the old look. Good fact to mention that News 12's Traffic and Weather channels received a minor tweak and update to its graphics as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToriElectra 291 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 What's more interesting is that they finally replaced the jingle for Weather on the 1s- even when they were using Counterpoint (or whatever the last package was named), they still used a cut based off In-Sink even after they got rid of that package circa 2006. I think they even updated it once! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
