dman748 1256 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 While WFAA may have retired it's longtime "News 8" branding in favor of "WFAA News" I think most North Texans will always associate WFAA with John B. Wells, The Spirit Of Texas and the people like John McCaa, Troy Dungan, Tracy Rowlett, Gloria Campos, Chip Moody and so many people that made Channel 8 so special for so many years But times do change and sometimes we just gotta adopt to those changes even if the viewers don't like the changes Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16084-tegnas-new-graphics/page/31/#findComment-203634 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dman748 1256 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 From what I heard, WFAA still refers to its news as “News 8.” That's strange because if they switched to WFAA News yet call themselves News 8 why have 2 seperate branding when you can just merge it into one unified branding of "WFAA News 8"?

Georgie56 3305 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Who else besides John and Dale that started working at WFAA in the 80s are still there today? Just them. All other on-air talent at Channel 8 started in 1998 or later.

Ntropolis 596 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 From what I heard, WFAA still refers to its news as “News 8.” Are the reporters still tagging out with “Channel 8 News” even after the updated look? If so, that’s three different brandings in one newscast.

If so, that’s three different brandings in one newscast. Reporters are still signing off with “Channel 8 News”, although McCaa started the 10pm with “This is WFAA News at 10”, correcting the error he made at 6pm.

MorningNews 1448 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 The whole concept of having the anchors stand is silly to me. They always seem stiff as a board.

Info Junkie 1286 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 WFAA's 6pm Open From what I can tell, this is David Kaye’s first VO job at a Gannett/Tegna station.

Georgie56 3305 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 That and the ticker at the bottom doesn't even match the graphics. They switched to the correct ticker before the 5am hour was over. From what I can tell, this is David Kaye’s first VO job at a Gannett/Tegna station. He’s actually been doing promos for Channel 8 for a couple of years now.

MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 915 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Same layout? Not quite. WFAA: [ATTACH=full]6053[/ATTACH] WZZM: [ATTACH=full]6054[/ATTACH] WZZM's fluctuates. Huh.. Everytime I watch them, I see the 5x2 layout.. I wonder if this is used for only certain time blocks?

jbnews 344 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I LOVE WFAA's new look. I know people don't like it, but I think it is a nice refreshing change. I like the play buttons all over the set, looks cool.

Guest Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Let's put it this way, WFAA doesn't know what their brand is. WFAA News, News 8, Channel 8 News. News 8 Daybreak or #IAmUpWithDaybreak?
