djlynch 56 Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Per FTVLive, looks like KVUE is the one getting a new logo... It's been everywhere but the news bug for months now.
compubit 675 Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 To the TEGNA committee that approved the new music package. You took the most beautiful approach to creating news music and created easily the most unrecognizable and bland package ever. It's basically cheap production music that you could have licensed for pennies on the dollar from Warner Chappell PM. This is singlely the most valueless sonic brand I've every heard, so congrats wasting money when nothing custom was required. While other stations around the countless other markets Tegna operates in have safe or iconic brands, you've managed to do least of any of them. This package will wither and die quickly because no care went into creating a sonic signature that Tegna can be proud of. I'll continue to watch other stations in Denver, because while 4's brand is a hodgepodge, 7's lacks any knowledge of Denver and 31/2 are even embryonic in development, you've created a lack of feeling that only station groups looking to be acquired hope to achieve. I was in Denver last weekend, and caught 9News after the football game. My thoughts: - I sort of like the graphics, especially the L3s, not using the same fonts everyone else is using... (Although I have no idea what the name of the anchor is, as I never saw it during the newscast!!!) - WTH is that music??? The close of the 9:40 "Special Edition" sounded like something I'd hear at a hippie music festival - rhythmic clapping??? I still can't tell you what the theme is - even with "This is Home", you had a 3 note memorable tag to the theme... TEGNA - please get real news music, not the crap you have now... J

Told TVNT users so. It's expensive production music.
jbnews 345 Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Lol! Told TVNT users so. It's expensive production music. It IS? For real? What is the name of it?
Journalist 894 Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Lol! Told TVNT users so. You win 1 internet point.
ABC 7 Denver 1729 Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 It IS? For real? What is the name of it? Idk. I'll find out soon! You win 1 internet point. Unfortunately... You could just give me a thumbs up Johnny! Oy vey.
jbnews 345 Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Idk. I'll find out soon! Please do! I was shocked that this was production music. It sounded high-end and custom made.
news89 468 Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 WKYC is testing the new graphics tonight. Looks to be they are keeping the same logo. I heard this Thursday is the debut date.

[ATTACH=full]5147[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]5148[/ATTACH] Looks great. Kind of surprised they aren't waiting to debut them with the new set. Is that gonna be done in time for the Olympics?
ABC 7 Denver 1729 Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Please do! I was shocked that this was production music. It sounded high-end and custom made. It is custom made. It's just production sounding. There's no brand-recall for it. No news music signature.
Journalist 894 Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 It is custom made. It's just production sounding. There's no brand-recall for it. No news music signature. Just to make sure I'm on the same note here, you actually found out it was a production track (if you don't mind me, from who?), or is it based of your observations from earlier?
TSSZNews 1052 Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 A little shocked WKYC would willingly debut graphics ahead of a set change, instead of just doing it all at once...

A French company, who's name I can't yet identify, who composed custom production tracks for Tegna.
TheEsquire 9 Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 custom production tracks That sounds suspiciously like a music package.
ChrisC-R 15 Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 Looks as if NBC12/ABC25(FCN) has debuted the new gfx per traffic anchor's Katie Jefferies IG page. In that case, (correct me if I'm wrong) WJXX would be the first ABC affiliate to debut them.
ABC 7 Denver 1729 Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 That sounds suspiciously like a music package. Yes, but without a signature to create brand-recall, it's almost solely overpriced production music.

KPNX has yet to get them... I've tried to contact several peeps with no response.. However, they have finally switched to the new website as of this morning.. so any day now I'm sure...

I have confirmation that KPNX will have a new set and graphics.
Weeters 1969 Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 Actually, KXTV is the first of TEGNA's ABC affiliates with the new graphics. The KXTV/WTSP graphics package is not related to this new graphics packge. So, no. They are not the first.
Conrad 113 Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 In response to a post I deleted: [quote name='Weeters']The KXTV/WTSP graphics package is not related to this new graphics packge. So, no. They are not the first.[/QUOTE] In relation to KXTV... [quote name='CaptainNews']Already has been for a few months.[/QUOTE] Maybe I was confused. @CaptainNews Did you say that KXTV has the new graphics? That aside, KXTV will probably keep their current social media format...
MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 949 Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 They will. I have confirmation that KPNX will have a new set and graphics. Nice! I can't wait to see the new set.. Did not expect that little tidbit
news89 468 Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 WKYC did launch the graphics at 6 tonight. Overall I can live with the graphics, however the music can go out window into Lake Erie. I did DVR the program I will try to upload it tonight.
