Greggo 340 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I like them! Very clean. Somewhat similar to the CBS O&O pkg, font-wise at least. Supposedly KSAT/San Antonio will switch in January. http://mikemcguff.blogspot.com/2016/11/kprc-2-launches-new-graphics-package-2016.html [MEDIA=twitter]804048731465252864[/MEDIA] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5276 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Far from great with a few awkward inconsistencies, but at least they finally completely blew up the old look, after a refresh or two. Based on this from their website, it looks like the opens and such have some of that 3D Scrippsy look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOMatrix 1295 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 They are some pretty decent graphics. Hopefully, it goes to the rest of the Graham group. Speaking of Graham, is WPLG fully under BH Media control now, or is Graham still calling the shots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ns8401 846 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Graham is graphically hubbed so what comes to one comes to all... This really looks like a flattening of the previous graphics with some updates. That scrippsy open shot looks like what they have used as a weather open for a while now.

Speaking of Graham, is WPLG fully under BH Media control now, or is Graham still calling the shots? BH Media has full control of the station. They haven't had any updates to graphics..the web interface is the same as other Graham Stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyNewsOpens 83 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Very Scripps-y, but good so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journalist 894 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Wow, these are something. I don't know about you guys, but I'm feeling a Tribune Creative West from the lower thirds. The distinctive monochromatic diagonal slants are probably the reason - it has been a staple of their work for some time. Anyways, the lower thirds and full screens look promising. If there's going to be a new intro or stings, let's hope it doesn't mess things up. I'm not even gonna ramble about the age of the previous graphics.

MikePulse 315 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Promising. Can't wait to see them on WJXT and WKMG (I hold no hopes in them gutting those two pitiful cuts of One and Only) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper550 268 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 You'd think with all the slanting going on, that WDIV would go back to its previous logo to match it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikePulse 315 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 You'd think with all the slanting going on, that WDIV would go back to its previous logo to match it. Or go even more retro and combine that with the classic lined 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikePulse 315 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 It just occurred to me. WKMG was (and continues to be) teasing us in plain sight when they got the new set. Look closely at the background of the monitors. The pattern closely resembles the motif of the new graphics - slanted, slight glossy 3D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwestTV 1173 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 It amazes me how apparently revolutionary Scripps' package was in 2012 that others are still trying to take some elements from it. That, or RenderON has been doing a lot more work than we realized and that "Scripps-y" look is just a RenderON signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 748 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Better than the previous package, but really not a fan of the different fonts in the weather segment. Stick to one font, but different thicknesses ... Biggest notice is in their 10-day forecast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country News 435 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 The particular graphic y'all say is Scripps-y has been around since the package debuted. The only that that really changed were the lower thirds, backgrounds, and weather graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper550 268 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Now rumors on a different forum say that WDIV is considering dropping "Local 4" and going back to just "Channel 4". The fact that this has popped up now seems to suggest that they might be doing it when the new graphics debut, although the people in the thread don't seem to know about them... If they follow through, I bet you they'll go back to something like WDIV News 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in my opinion, I still say Graham should sell WDIV and KPRC to NBCUniversal.And I say they should keep WDIV. As for KPRC, it should either be sold to NBC or CBS (the former for a duopoly with KTMD, or the latter for an ownership in a station in a large AFC market) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
