tyrannical bastard 3998 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 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. And a certain station in Mobile that would look good with this package....and be better off going back to "Overture" than sticking to the godawful, dated, shoulda-never-been-commissioned, Media General package. I'm surprised that Nexstar hasn't rectified this by now. Not as badly as a certain station in Lafayette, Louisiana. Is this said station one with the "hurricane" logo? Even it got a slight refresh in recent years...I can't recall if it was Young or Media General who pulled the trigger. After seeing this package, I feel a little better about the eventual "Nexstar-i-fication" that could take place. But most of their legacy stations need an upgrade over the MG ones... I just dread the day the websites change to some StupidTooLongToRememberCrappyLocalWebsite.com......

jbnews 344 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Maybe KOLR isn't getting Overture and this was just an example corporate made to show their stations and they just happened to use a cut from Overture.

newsn8te 201 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 [MEDIA=vimeo]230835505[/MEDIA] Another talent open was posted. This time, they're using the actual anchors. [MEDIA=vimeo]230631778[/MEDIA] Wonder who the actual sports anchor is. In all the ID's, they say Dan Lucy but in the actual open they have Megan Rice.

ChesapeakeTV 311 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 They definitely could've picked some better ways to use Overture in those IDs. That awkward edit is inexcusable when the contemporary Arnold packages I have all contain numerous tag cuts.

They're also using actual photos of Springfield in the backdrops too. This was long overdue. KOLR had that same package since they went to HD nearly 10 years ago.

TheMassMediaGeek 98 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I wonder which station will get this package next? Could be WJBF, they really need a new graphics package. Also the package could fit in with their updated weather gfx.

I think the Media General stations might get the graphics last. Also I believe the graphics are affiliate based.

newsn8te 201 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Talent opens with still pictures are weird. I agree. KOLR originally started out using stills in the talent open with their current package then later change it to actual video footage. Hopefully they'll do the same with this one too.

Darius22 122 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Overture was kind a coincidence to have as a package given that KRON (sister station) was using it in 2002 before they joined Nexstar.

jbnews 344 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I think there might be a new FOX package too. Yesterday, WFXP in Erie debuted very, very nice new graphics. The opens were really cool, and they are 16:9. I think a music change could be imminent too because they used 3 different packages in the first 5 minutes. News Matrix (WJET's theme) for the open, Extreme (WFXP's music since 2010) for a Severe Weather stinger, tease, and reopen (?), and This is The Place for the First Forecast stinger. Umm, so yeah, they have some music issues to work out:rolleyes:! Also on Friday, WJET (Erie) debuted new weather graphics but using their current graphics package (at least on the backgrounds). So I don't know if they are getting new music/graphics, but if they have This is The Place in their system, one of the stations will switch over to that soon.

TheMassMediaGeek 98 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I don’t know if this may hint the new package coming to two more Nexstar stations, but on Southern Media’s NMSA, KSNW dropped The Tower V.5. by 615 for The Rock by Stephen Arnold, and WWLP ditched The Tower V.5 for Canvas by Stephen Arnold Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15871-new-kolr-graphics-possible-new-nexstar-package/page/2/#findComment-186581 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll probably see more of the former Media General/LIN stations doing the same in the coming months.

Ugh... it'll be sickening to go home, turn on WAVY and hear Aerial or This is the Place or whatever overused Arnold package they pick. A custom theme with the Newswire signature would sure be nice, if at all possible. On the other hand, the graphics would work. They already look a little like what WAVY already has. However, it would mean the end of 28(!) years of "waves" in the news opens.
