rkolsen 1686 Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 It wouldn't shock me if they got them at the same time as WFAA, given their production setup (they're using WFAA's secondary control room after all), but I wouldn't expect it. I wouldn’t expect it. The secondary control probably has hand me down equipment. I think I mentioned this before but TEGNA doesn’t have a wide variety of CG? Weren’t some of their previous graphics done on Tricasters?

Weren’t some of their previous graphics done on Tricasters? if you are using a tricaster for your main production switcher... which some of the really small markets might do... otherwise no... that control room can handle the current graphics fine... the new stuff can't be any more resource intensive... most cgs last a long time before they NEED to be replaced...
KevCor 344 Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 Don't fret [S]Mardek1995[/S] ...uhhh, I mean @Nicktes95, I hear someone is switching their graphics PRETTY soon, and if correct, someone you wouldn't think it would be... Anyway, one thing I'm gonna miss about TiH? [URL='https://youtu.be/fmHdOpPNZPM?t=43s']The[/URL] [URL='https://youtu.be/ebsvPRxfCGk']Texas [/URL]twang version

When I visited WFAA’s Young Street studios, I actually saw that secondary control room KHOU’s using. I regret not taking a picture of it.
KevCor 344 Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 WTSP switched today in some type of hybrid update: the WTSP L3s are the same custom ones they were using before, but the background and other elements are the new Troika-version.

I have a feeling that they might update to the new L3's by 5pm tonight. EDIT: Nope, They didn't switch.

Take a look at 1:59, top right. EDIT: Also take a look at their new Facebook cover video.

KevCor 344 Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 Looks like WTSP will be the next station to get the new graphics They launched at noon today.
mardek1995 200 Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 They launched at noon today.I checked just now and it's not even the full implementation. The L3s are still hybrid L3s. Although I did say last week tat within a week at least one station would get the new graphics. I never expected it to be WTSP of all stations. Will this rollout wait until August for WFAA, KHOU, and KFMB?

Guest Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Is this it? Yes that would be it. It's the old Belo master control hub. After TEGNA bought up Belo, it was disbanded.

KFMB I definately could see it, WFAA-KHOU I think they'll get theirs later this year (I think we all can probably agree that KHOU will be the last TEGNA-owned station to get the new graphics because of the situation they're in following Harvey)
rkolsen 1686 Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Yes that would be it. It's the old Belo master control hub. After TEGNA bought up Belo, it was disbanded. I think looks pretty advanced for a MC Hub with a multiple M/E switcher? Or was that a TXCN (or what ever it’s abbreviation is) control room? if you are using a tricaster for your main production switcher... which some of the really small markets might do... otherwise no... that control room can handle the current graphics fine... the new stuff can't be any more resource intensive... most cgs last a long time before they NEED to be replaced... I’m thinking it was a old station that was part of NWCN that got a TriCaster and were doing graphics from it.

TXCN is an abbreviation of Texas Cable News No it's the old Belo MC Hub. It was relatively new and they had just started operating multiple stations there when Gannett/TEGNA bought Belo. So yes, it looks advanced and new because theoretically it is.

Georgie56 3326 Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 That 4 looks fat, fat, fat. And I can’t stop thinking of WJZY’s indie logo when I see that WUPL logo:
mightynine 290 Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 That 4 looks fat, fat, fat. Everything has a little more heft to it, compared to what's on the website. So where did that screengrab come from? The morning show is still using the old graphics.

Ntropolis 599 Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 WTSP newscast opening (now using "C Clarity") Love this execution. I knew someone would eventually pair this up with a timelapse!
CircleSeven 1960 Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 Everything has a little more heft to it, compared to what's on the website. So where did that screengrab come from? The morning show is still using the old graphics. During a commercial break on WWL this morning, they teased a "new" Eyewitness Morning News coming in April. So I wouldn't be surprised if the new graphics debut before the start of the May books.
