news89 468 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Could "The News Station" be getting the Tribune graphics? Came across this last thanks to a Facebook friend. Could this mean the end of MCTW esque theme sure sounds like it? First thing I thought of was WGNO.

TennTV1983 804 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Not necessarily in terms of music, but it does demonstrate that for the ABC stations in the group (WNEP, WGNO, and WQAD), this is a viable option for them (and not just the CBS stations) should they choose to implement new graphics in the future. Still waiting on how Tribune handles its NBC affiliates (WHO-TV and KFOR) graphics-wise.

atlnews2 591 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I'm thinking either WQAD or WGNO. WNEP's graphics still hold up after 5(?) years. Among the ABC stations WQAD is the one that needs new graphics the most. The ABC logo could easily be replaced with an 8 if necessary Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15213-wnep-new-graphics-soon-to-be/#findComment-154573 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChesapeakeTV 311 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I'm going to be the strawman here, and I'm sure many people are going to get out the pitchforks and come marching down here to Tidewater to tar and feather me for this, but... Bring it on, Moving Forward and all. The Cliff Schwarz theme is kind of a worn-out novelty. MCTYW as a 90's dance track? Cool. 22 years of the same 90's dance track with no updates whatsoever? Stale. Frankly I would be outright disappointed if they kept their music unchanged. And while we're on that note, this would be a great opportunity to do a lot of much-needed updates - maybe they could even tweak the logo (circle 16 to match the new graphics, perhaps?). The only things they do need to leave alone are the branding and the slogan - those are timeless. A remix of a theme that was cool for its time but screams "dated" now is not.

jbnews 344 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I completely agree with you. I don't care for the Newswatch name that much, but they have had it forever, so...okay.

PA in general tends to be older than the rest of the country demographics wise. This rings especially true in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre market.

CircleSeven 1955 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 They got the graphics...And kept the longtime music. Wonderful. My only issue is the bug. Its weird without the "WNEP" wording on the bottom. Enjoy this while you can. Should the Sinclair deal goes through, its goodbye to this and the music.

ChesapeakeTV 311 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Oh, for heaven's sake...that music should have been gone ten years ago. So much for my hopes that the Tribune graphics would herald a change. Maybe Sinclair will be nice and put the tired 90s throwback to pasture.

Samantha 2896 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 The Cliff Schwarz variant of MCTYW does not have the benefit of anything near a timeless sound, I'm afraid. It's also *too long* for modern opens — a complaint that could be applied to the musical signature of the package.

24994J 5585 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 The original may not be popular with all, but it has nostalgia on it's side. WPVI has earned the right to use it as long as they want. It's as much a part of their identity as the '6' and Jim Gardner. On the other hand, the piece of crap WNEP uses needs to die. I could even forgive it if it fit the open, but the way they shoehorned it into these graphics just doesn't work.
