Weeters 1916 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Found this on the Nexstar Broadcasting account on Vimeo. [MEDIA=vimeo]230073701[/MEDIA] It's kinda sad... This looks like a mashup knockoff of the last and current CBS O&O packages but it actually looks... better. Looking forward to seeing the rest of it.

who?cares 254 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I'm super impressed! Dare I say it.. way to go Nexstar. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15871-new-kolr-graphics-possible-new-nexstar-package/#findComment-181206 Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.L. Hughes 890 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 That's not the only good knockoff package that Nexstar has commissioned, and with the same base font (if anyone knows what the name of the typeface is, ID it here). Exhibit A: The package that KWKT debuted when it launched its news department in July. From Video Thread (2008-present): Their graphics package looks almost like an updated version of the graphics Tribune developed for its pre-Local TV-purchase Fox affiliates.

jbnews 344 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 WOW. Those are nice! KETK has recently debuted some nice new Nextstar graphics too.

TennTV1983 804 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Looks more like one of Tribune's current looks for its CBS and ABC stations, but using the same color scheme as the CBS O&Os. Even the Fox version has a Tribune-esque kind of feel.

rkolsen 1684 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Well KARK debuted a new graphics package. It doesn't have the circular motif but I think has an effect like feathers of the peacock (not sure). But they finally dumped the limited KXAS spectrum look (can't think of its official code name).

GoldenShine9 1513 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 It seems to be a modified version of the 2015 Media General package.

NEOMatrix 1299 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 i wonder if Nexstar has a paclage ready to go for its ABC affiliates. There's a certain station in Augusta that badly, and I mean BADLY, needs a new look.

Journalist 894 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 That's a pretty good intro. My only prevalent issue I have is the abrupt camera zoom outs :02 and :12 seconds in. I'm aware it was intended to suggest immediacy yet it creates a weird contrast to its grandeur appearance. Well KARK debuted a new graphics package. It doesn't have the circular motif but I think has an effect like feathers of the peacock (not sure). But they finally dumped the limited KXAS spectrum look (can't think of its official code name).

rkolsen 1684 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Look G - a decent and ambitious package that was unfortunately . It was a good package and wasn't it launched near the failed NBC "More Colorful" campaign?

Journalist 894 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 It was a good package and wasn't it launched near the failed NBC "More Colorful" campaign? The original and widely successful More Colourful era premiered back in late 2009. A corresponding More Colourful-esque news package premiered in August 2010 on KNSD. It was months after NBC's god-awful logo redesign in Sept 2011 when Look G was first unveiled in early 2012. Look G shared indirect similarities with More Colourful, however they are two distinct packages.

Big Country News 435 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I'm just gonna say it: Someone please take overture out behind the barn and give it the Ol' Yeller treatment. WDJT recently picked it up and now KOLR (Which is ironically dropping another old SAM package.) It just doesn't fit.

So the blocky package KNSD got was supposed to be more colorful? I would have thought the Look G would correspond with it.

oklahomanewsman 210 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Nice to see KOLR get a new graphics package, I'll have to check it out, next time I visit Branson on vacation. However I tend to watch KY3 more than I do KOLR10 but when I heard that KY3 dumped Shelly Palmer's Millenium 3 few years back I was shocked that KY3 would do that Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15871-new-kolr-graphics-possible-new-nexstar-package/#findComment-181282 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WDJT recently picked it up and now KOLR (Which is ironically dropping another old SAM package.) It just doesn't fit. Don't get me wrong, I love most if not all of Stephen Arnold's packages, but it's nice to hear something different rather than the same overused cuts from CBS Local, Extreme, iNergy or Aerial. Yes, Overture is dated, but sounds A LOT better than Signature or Counterpoint.

LorenKarr 18 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Maybe KOLR is going to use Overture, maybe not. They'll certainly need to make other changes to the open. It's been awhile since I've lived in the market, but unless all of the talent has undergone major cosmetic surgery and/or sex reassignment surgery, none of the pictures used match up with the names in the graphics or voice over.

qunewsguy 377 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 So could this be a shared look for Nexstar's ABC and CBS stations then? I'm not sure they could pull off a copy of the Hothaus west coast ABC O&O look without a lawsuit since the style is so distinct.
