I'd get a recording uploaded if my DVR had facilities to capture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevCor 344 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 We have impactV6, Everyone on Facebook is talking about how similar the 3 is to the 3 in WVEC's 13. That, and that much of the market stil can't watch them because of the Tribune - Dish retrans fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD in VB 1 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 So glad the robot arm is gone! When is the new set debuting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlnews2 563 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 WTKR now has the Tribune CBS graphics package that WTVR, WTTV, and WREG use. WTKR is using the same color scheme that WTVR and WTTV use. They also rebranded and are now known as NEWS 3, and are using Impact as their theme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennTV1983 767 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 The "3" used in the graphics is a different typeface from what has been used in promotional stuff. Looks like a slightly narrower version of the "3" WREG uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevCor 344 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Better quality version of the new open from air: Is it just me, or are they still using the old ticker font? Because whatever font they're using is clashing with the rest of the graphics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToriElectra 291 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 No more awful graphics and that hideous "3"!!!! The graphics were crap, yes, but I liked the "3". It was very bold and distinctive. It would've fit right in with the new GFX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 1847 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 But lets be honest... this "3" is better than the previous "3" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesapeakeTV 310 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Is it just me, or are they still using the old ticker font? Because whatever font they're using is clashing with the rest of the graphics... Yeah, looks like they haven't quite gotten the ticker and bug lined up yet. I can only assume they'll fix it soon. But lets be honest... this "3" is better than the previous "3" Anything's better than the previous 3, at least for how they were using it. Overall, after watching it in action a bit more...this is the best look in the Tidewater now IMO. A-, it's about freaking time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD in VB 1 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I am so glad the old "3" that didn't even look like a "3" is gone! I wonder if they are waiting until the new weekday sports director to debut the new set. I am just thrilled the "News 3" branding is back both I hope they just use it for the newscasts and not for the whole TV station like some stations do.

memnews1 25 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I thought it was just a WREG glitch, but I don't understand why the weather banners don't stretch edge to edge. It looks very tacky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOMatrix 1295 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Considering that WTKR competitors are a future Nexstar station and a Tegna station, News3 might be able to make headway against WAVY and WVEC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susquvalleywgal 498 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Better quality version of the new open from air: Love the open. Love the graphics ... Hate the bug and time/temp stamp. VERY hard to read. -- Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just thrilled the "News 3" branding is back both I hope they just use it for the newscasts and not for the whole TV station like some stations do. While I too love the new graphics, I have determined that it bugs me that the open reads as if the branding is supposed to be "3 News" vice "News 3"... If I were them, I'd have just gone for the bland "CBS 3" branding like WTVR & WTTV. That would have allowed them to be have a consistent on-air branding for both network and news products. Considering that WTKR competitors are a future Nexstar station and a Tegna station, News3 might be able to make headway against WAVY and WVEC. WTKR finally has a news team that is stable -- remember the revolving door from the late 90's to the late 2000s? If they can maintain the on air anchor stability... I can definitely see them overtaking Nexstar WAVY and maybe running at #1 (if the heir-apparent #1 WVEC completely falls off the map) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
