PTVNews 188 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 KPTV debuted a new graphics package today during their noon news. I like it overall and think they did a pretty good job. The splash of yellow is new, and had been a part of an older package they had in the 2000s. So far the main thing I don't like is the huge "live" bug in the double box (@3:33). It runs right into the headline. Also, the background looks a bit odd and unfinished. I'll miss V.2 of High Velocity as they updated to V.3. I'm not too familiar with V.3 so I'll have to see how many different cuts they end up using for the different shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeters 1811 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Looks like a Hothaus package. I like it. It's nice and simple and clean. It kind of looks like what I'd imagine a update to the Scripps package would look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenShine9 1509 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I was kinda expecting a faux Fox O&O package, but I guess KPTV decided something different altogether. Meredith doesn't have any standards, their stations have more autonomy than almost any other owner... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2878 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 This would be a good update for KPHO, too, with maybe a red/yellow version for KTVK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5277 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 What a difference a day makes. This new package is a whole lot better than what it replaced... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrtraveler01 737 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 What a difference a day makes. This new package is a whole lot better than what it replaced... KPTV was long overdue for a new package. I believe that they've been using different variations of the same package they got over 10 years ago.

CaptainNews 285 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I love these graphics. Who's the designer? The only small problem is that there is no logo on screen or time/temp bug, hopefully they get that soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrannical bastard 3473 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I wish WALA would have gotten this package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToriElectra 291 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Wow, this package is quite nice. I posted it over to the For Portlanders Only/Platypus comix forums, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGSJenkins 432 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Hopefully WNEM will be next. This is their current look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannical bastard 3473 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Hopefully WNEM will be next. This is their current look. WJRT and even WEYI's canned Sinclair package blows this out of the water. This has to be Meredith's bastard stepchild aside from that station in Atlanta they own that starts with CBS and ends in 46.

ABC 7 Denver 1554 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Looks like a Hothaus package. I like it. It's nice and simple and clean. It kind of looks like what I'd imagine a update to the Scripps package would look like. It is. I know Jon Fox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Buck 35 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Isn't it me, or does the blue, white, and yellow color scheme look a lot like KOIN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTVNews 188 Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 KPTV was long overdue for a new package. I believe that they've been using different variations of the same package they got over 10 years ago. The one they just dumped had debuted in 2012. The packages have had similar looks over the decade but have definitely been different. I love these graphics. Who's the designer? The only small problem is that there is no logo on screen or time/temp bug, hopefully they get that soon. The time/temp bug was there in later shows. Must have been some problems during the first show. Looks like a Matt Quinn/Hot Haus job. That's right! They designed the template and then the station customized it for all the elements they needed.

T.L. Hughes 753 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I think KPTV's new graphics might have bumped (or probably tied) KCTV/KSMO's package as the best graphics among the Meredith stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
