AJClementeFan69 477 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Wow. I'm super impressed with the custom WROC theme. A music package that actually sounds like NEWS in 2017? Without being stale? Rare kudos to Nexstar on this...

Sendir 194 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Not a rare kuddos for Nexstar. Can we all just admit that since the merger of MG and Nexstar that the newly formed company has really stepped it up?!

Jess 1115 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Idk, I’m feeling more “HBO Sports/Real Sports” than “HBO in Space” with this one. Ferdinand J. Smith did that one too, so the resemblance isn't surprising. I love the music. Very distinctive and dramatic.

TheMassMediaGeek 98 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 WJMN (CBS Upper Peninsula of MI) now has the new graphics -- looks very nice for a very small DMA Wow, a semi satellite of WFRV got the new graphics BEFORE WFRV got them! I’m surprised by that. Usually the main station gets new graphics first, then the satellite/semi-satellite stations get it.

This is probably one of their most recognizable themes, if you follow the sport of course. Nonetheless, fantastic refresh for WROC. And Nexstar didn't blow it for once.

GoldenShine9 1513 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Not a rare kuddos for Nexstar. Can we all just admit that since the merger of MG and Nexstar that the newly formed company has really stepped it up?! In terms of on-air appearance, Nexstar might as well be called Media General right now. At least on the graphics side, it seems the latter company has taken hold. I think some ex-MG stations that did not see a quick graphics change pre-acquisition and are still using older packages may also be due for this package.

qunewsguy 377 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Rey Rodriguez (former co-founder of Giant Octopus and later the solo firm known as "LINear Drift") is part of the new Nexstar design hub in Nashville, so it's no surprise the graphics are decent. That same Vimeo account that's posting KOLR clips also had a pitch/interview reel with the artists in Nashville.

They don't treat employees as well as they do graphics packages. They took away all the work cell phones/station credit cards and it's not like they have shed their reputation for scrimping on pay...

That same Vimeo account that's posting KOLR clips also had a pitch/interview reel with the artists in Nashville. Which makes plenty of sense and explains the more polished looks being pumped out as of late. Now if only someone could identify the person in charge of doing set designs and builds for Nexstar.

MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 917 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 So I think we can also safely say that all the Nexstar NBC legacy stations will be getting the same graphics as KARK did... Proof?? KETK celebrates their 30 years on tv with a new set and the same graphics as KARK has... Set looks very similar to KARK's as well Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15871-new-kolr-graphics-possible-new-nexstar-package/page/4/#findComment-189098 Share on other sites More sharing options...

[MEDIA=vimeo]249000959[/MEDIA] I like the logo. Eerily familiar compared to its original NBC17 logo though. Guess "North Carolina News" didn't catch on.

TheRolyPoly 2451 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 It seems like they took the "7 News" logo from WSPA, made it stand up and added a 1 to it.

[MEDIA=vimeo]249000959[/MEDIA] Based on that Vimeo account, it looks like the new graphics that KTVX just launched are the new Nexstar ABC Graphics. What about the KOIN and WFLA graphics on the page? Are those now available to Nexstar stations?
