NowBergen 700 Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 I do prefer WNBC's time and temp setup. However, instead of the regionalized conditions, they could put a sponsor tag below the time and temp bug. Please, no sponsors - too small market. During TINY, I could see them replace the weather with key traffic info such as backup times at the GWB, the tunnels, NJT, GSP, etc. Viewers would find that much more useful.
Greggo 358 Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 Tower V.5 for this open and V.1 for the close... Why exactly is the news anchor included in this "update"? All she does is say hi and bye. Weird.
rkolsen 1686 Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 Why exactly is the news anchor included in this "update"? All she does is say hi and bye. Weird. The same thing happens here during the 8:55 update. The people that care about news are probably already gone and weather / traffic are probably high priorities for those viewers.
bhratbrat 437 Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 The "Always On" format is now live for the first time. First Alert Traffic at the bottom and First Alert Weather on the right side. It came up as commercials started and it reverts back when commercials are over. EDIT: Also forgot to mention... new V/O. Let's dump Charlie Van Dyke and have Bob Tracey instead. Great to hear that Bob made it back to a major station. Bob was their on again off again voiceover in the late 80s and early 90s and is based out of Broward County.
jbnews 345 Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 WVIT's new 4pm open with a slip up on the top bar. We somehow went from Wednesday May 18 yesterday to Tuesday June 14 today! Wow, how time flies!

Bob was their on again off again voiceover in the late 80s and early 90s and is based out of Broward County. I haven't heard Bob Tracey since Tribune used him for WGN and KDAF. Good on TVJ for bringing him back. Very underrated VO.
abric 181 Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 it seems the new graphics are kinda reminiscent of MSNBC's former graphics before they got rid of the top bar almost a year ago.
MidwestTV 1240 Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Here's WTVJ. They're awesome. Their open conveys power. Although I don't understand of having the date at the top, especially for their 11pm news? I also just realized these graphics are letterboxed, no more 4x3 safe zones. I've gotta say, that small upper third is incredibly annoying and crowds the screen, especially when it shows up out of nowhere. I've never been a fan of redundant story titling. "Breaking News" is clearly labeled in your L3's with all of the other information. Why does it need to be at the top too?

Glad they STILL got the custom theme ( NOT LA Groove!) and they brought back Bob Tracy to be back at the mike since the old Channel 4 News era before they got into their "Watch Our TeamWORK" Era.
MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 948 Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Not a huge fan of all the italic wording in the opens...

AA55 40 Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Love that! Love the whole look for WNBC. They are BACK IN THE GAME
DonDonP1 118 Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 No new gfx for Philly tonight. Neither are there new graphics for DFW or Chicago or DC...yet.
Action Newsroom 1300 Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Well, that is just awesome. I never thought this package could get even better. I was wrong.
C Block 1566 Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 I don't really see what's so great about this. To me, it looks really cluttered. It might work well on MSNBC, but here, it looks like too much (especially that graphic at the top). I think Look F looks/looked a lot more elegant compared to this.
ABC 7 Denver 1729 Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 Tower V.5 for this open and V.1 for the close... Hi, no. That's Tower V.4 Bumper 4. The orchestration is different (V.5 is more akin to V.3).

groupwfan 97 Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 I hope 'CAU gets these GFX and use 360 in Full Force once again. ( not just as a break bumper) LA Groove might work for KNBC, buuuut not for 10.
MidwestTV 1240 Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 Not a huge fan of all the italic wording in the opens... I can understand that. Seems tabloid-y? I don't mind it for WTVJ though, it fits the flow and feel of Miami. Just look at WSVN.
Bars-n-tone 39 Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 I hope 'CAU gets these GFX and use 360 in Full Force once again. ( not just as a break bumper) LA Groove might work for KNBC, buuuut not for 10. WCAU will use the graphics package seen on WNBC in post #65.
