KevCor 344 Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Honestly, I think the TEGNA music is growing on me. Same here. I’ve come to realize the vocals actually work better for the morning/noon shows, which I think some stations have picked up on.
skbl17 188 Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Honestly, I'm slowly coming around too. I think KUSA (the actual opens, not the teases,) , (6pm, they ruin it at 10) and have the right idea for what I don't want to hear in the evenings and late nights: the vocals. Then again, I never had a problem with the actual melody, just those weird vocals. I've come to accept the vocals for morning shows. Morning shows are quirky and cheesy, so why not have quirky and cheesy music to match?

RGSJenkins 435 Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 They need more color in the opens, only KING's logo has color.
Georgie56 3326 Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Yeah, WFAA is getting ready to transition. This story on Bitcoin made heavy use of the new graphics.
Que 73 Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Yeah, WFAA is getting ready to transition. This story on Bitcoin made heavy use of the new graphics. [ATTACH]5572[/ATTACH] I still think there are some stations without the new graphics, using story pieces with the new graphics (Tegna’s graphic hub probably already doing work with new graphics to distribute to all). But eventually these stations will finally switch. WFAA has been using the new graphical elements for its “We are WFAA” and “WFAA Originals” promos/stories.

I wonder if they’ll keep the morning graphics package, seeing that they just got it a few months ago and the ticker they use is a reskinned version of the old one.
Georgie56 3326 Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Well, look what I found. [MEDIA=vimeo]256896298[/MEDIA]
KevCor 344 Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Well, look what I found. [MEDIA=vimeo]256896298[/MEDIA] I saw a KXTV (ABC 10) graphic in there... so it appears both of the TEGNA outliers will eventually get ‘em. EDIT: Check out the crazy Little Rock weather...
Rusty Muck 4405 Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 At least they could have reversed the G-E-C note signature to make it sound less NBC-like. Oh wait.
mardek1995 200 Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 All of TEGNA's stations' websites have the new layout now, except, as expected, KFMB. Still, no changes in the graphics, but I'm expecting at least one or two stations to get the new graphics within the next few days to a week. I saw a KXTV (ABC 10) graphic in there... so it appears both of the TEGNA outliers will eventually get ‘em. EDIT: Check out the crazy Little Rock weather... Both of the outliers will more than likely be among the last, and probably will be the last to get the new graphics.

24994J 5630 Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Interesting that the demo used a different WKYC logo (0:35).
C Block 1566 Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 KUSA's late newscasts now have a handheld studio camera operator. This also means that they've been doing some longer studio bumps with the nice tease music. I think it sounds quite nice, so I uploaded it below. The tease graphics could still use some more work though. Also, I included the close as well as it was a little longer tonight too.

But eventually these stations will finally switch. WFAA has been using the new graphical elements for its “We are WFAA” and “WFAA Originals” promos/stories. Also the hub likely isn’t the one producing national packages. Chances are it’s some overworked producer or reporter who made the graphics using a MOS plugin into the editing software or ENPS.
PreComposed 1 Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Also the hub likely isn’t the one producing national packages. Chances are it’s some overworked producer or reporter who made the graphics using a MOS plugin into the editing software or ENPS. With C Block's example right before your post, I'd bet that Xpression could do that via MOS, since everything these days design-wise seems like it's matte-based moves.
CaptainNews 287 Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 Well, look what I found. [MEDIA=vimeo]256896298[/MEDIA] So they ruined their own package with powerpoint animations. What a shame Tegna.
Guest Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 So they ruined their own package with powerpoint animations. What a shame Tegna. I hardly think they're going to go bankrupt for this.
Journalist 894 Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 So they ruined their own package with powerpoint animations. What's wrong with using the PowerPoint plug-in in After Effects?
kfc513 238 Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 "We don't feel like finding WKYC's actual logo to put in the demo reel, so we'll just make a different version and hope nobody notices"

CaptainNews 287 Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 What's wrong with using the PowerPoint plug-in in After Effects? In this case, it was outdated. I’m an AVID user of the Microsoft Paint plugin in After Effects, they should to!
mardek1995 200 Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 Unless that was a proposed logo that they decided against using.More like a logo they used to use, but no longer do. The logo WKYC's been using is basically an italicized version of that logo we see in the above image.
MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 949 Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 Speaking of logo "change"... WZZM's logo on their website is now all yellow/gold including the ABC logo and now has the On Your Side next to it instead of the WZZM... not sure if it's temporary or permanent... none of their social media pics have changed to it..yet...
Weeters 1969 Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 Some of the logos in that demo may not be the actual logos that the station uses when they launch this look. I'm pretty sure that is just the demo reel that Troika sent with the files that TEGNA sent them. I've heard of a few TEGNA stations recently looking at revising or replacing their logo when they get these. At least one of them is in that video.
