Hexagonal10 84 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 A really bad knockoff of the KABC 2012 graphics, Original: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daybreak 269 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 That purple and red is a big NO. What were they thinking. They could've just kept the blue, its already a knock off. Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennTV1983 743 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Better than that "bargain basement" package they had before, but still .... how were they able to get away with butchering such quality graphics like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And by what you said, the only thing they can do right is the localism, and even that's debatable to some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mardek1995 200 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Nextarded graphics?WABC has underwent a similar problem according to many comments on its new graphics thread No.. No... No... No.. NO!!! Purple & Red do not or will ever match... WTF Nexstar??They certainly thought the colors would, I mean, I think red and green go together despite people saying otherwise, not to mention I actually sort of like the red and purple combination, but like I said, knockoffs sucking compared to the original is to be expected. But I'm surprised that these graphics are actually better than WABC's (doesn't say much, but it still counts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoadStar 363 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Wow. If I didn't know better, I'd say that looked like a graphics package from the early 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Forgetting that their main competitor (KSL) is owned by the media portion of the LDS. Â The real reason KUTV became the dominant station in that market is a combination of the overall rise of CBSs ratings in the past decade and the phenomenal mismanagement at KSL that drove viewers away from that station to KUTV. Â That said, KTVX has always been a 3rd place station and I doubt there is anything Nexstar can do to turn that station around. It'll basically have to wait for ABC's overall ratings to turn around and even then that's not a certainty that'll result in improved ratings for KTVX. Â Back to the topic at hand, if they used their old blue logo combined with the blue and white that KABC uses, those graphics would look a whole lot better. That red/purple color scheme looks so tacky and dated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper550 268 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I agree: that looks like it came out of 2006 (or better yet 1996), not 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSTU is sometimes first or a strong second behind KUTV. Sometimes, KSL will be second but I believe they're mostly third. Â In the SLC market, its really a three station race: KUTV vs. KSL vs. KSTU. KTVX is uncompeteable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrschimpf 2063 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 The clock wipe on the ABC logo...who thought that 1976 effect was a good idea?! Â This package and the font is like something out of 1994, and "Good4Utah" is pretty much what only a 55 year-old branding executive just signing onto "The Twitters" would love.

MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 748 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I wonder why they didn't get the standard Nexstar graphics package that the majority of the others have...

They're from 2013, just shifted in color (much like Nexstar's NBC graphics are KXAS' former graphics) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwestTV 1173 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 It's already pretty hard to pull off purple in a news package, but mixing it with red in addition to a poor knock off of another package doesn't help it any. When I first saw the L3s I thought "wow they already look dated." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOMatrix 1295 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 This package makes me shudder at what might come to some MG stations in need of a overhaul. The package overall could've been decent if they didn't use purple and red as a combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
