Georgie56 3326 Posted May 12, 2018 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? The official Daybreak hashtag is just #IAmUp. I agree with you that WFAA is all over the place with their brand. They need to pick one and stick with it.
Guest Posted May 12, 2018 Posted May 12, 2018 The official Daybreak hashtag is just #IAmUp. Well there you go, they don't even know that you can't have a hashtag with spaces.
susquvalleywgal 521 Posted May 12, 2018 Posted May 12, 2018 Sorry. They #IAmUp thing needs to end. And sorry. Those play button things thrown across the studio, yeah. That needs to end too. Come on WFAA. —Matt
Que 73 Posted May 12, 2018 Posted May 12, 2018 Reporters have always said “Channel 8 News.” Sorry. They #IAmUp thing needs to end. And sorry. Those play button things thrown across the studio, yeah. That needs to end too. Come on WFAA. —Matt Nothing wrong with revamping a news station. Welcome to DFW, it works for WFAA. Now if only KTVT would get it’s act together.
MorningNews 1498 Posted May 12, 2018 Posted May 12, 2018 Seems like I'm in the minority for sure but I really like this look for them. It may not necessarily be an award winning design, but its a much needed refresher and I think it fits the station's direction.

Come on WFAA. —Matt It would not surprise me if the 'FAA/Tegna braintrust phased out the Daybreak name all together leaving it as #IAmUp....I kinda like it, it shows spunk, not unlike WMAQ in the late '80's when the introduced their first full morning newscast w/ Bob Sirott and Allison Rosati, named First Thing in The Morning...

It may not necessarily be an award winning design, but its a much needed refresher and I think it fits the station's direction. I do think that, for a set-in-a-box, and for not a full-rebuild, I think they did the best they could. Very economical use off the existing set. But I think the old set looked better when it was new than this new set looks while its new.

Now if only KTVT would get it’s act together. KTVT will never get its act together. TEGNA could have a shirtless John McCaa read Kanye West tweets for 30 minutes while Pete and Dale debate abortion, and they'd get better ratings than KTVT. Hell, their ratings would probably go up. Who wouldn't want to watch that!!

[ I can see that. They might call it "I Am Up DFW" kinda like TEGNA did with WUSA for "Get up DC!" Just pray to God that they don't bring on a comedian like WUSA though.

[ Didn’t Bob Sirott get fired from WMAQ for his antics because from this video alone he did entirely too much for the morning! All his jokes fell flat and poor Roberta and Allison sitting there just trying to get through the newscast!! Lol
Jess 1116 Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 WFAA's 6pm Open THIS has turned me around on the new look. The music, the transitions, the execution is slick on the level of the BBC. That's high praise on my part.
RJP 23 Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 THIS has turned me around on the new look. The music, the transitions, the execution is slick on the level of the BBC. That's high praise on my part. The BBC? Slick? Good execution? No chance

That's high praise on my part. Leave it to Channel 8 to make the best of a standardized package. They did it with the previous package and they did it again with this package.
mre29 1563 Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 Notice also that the music in the open doesn't have any of the vocal bits that have been criticized by folks here.
LOWERCASE GUY 283 Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 Looks like the NMSA has several new cuts to C Clarity on the site!
CircleSeven 1960 Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 This popped up during their morning broadcast yesterday.
TheRolyPoly 2592 Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 This popped up during their morning broadcast yesterday. Sorry if I ask this stupid question but... what was the point of this image? Different looking logo or font or what? I'm missing what I'm trying to look at.

That logo in the box was from their now previous logo, and not the redesigned one they launched with the new graphics last month.
TheRolyPoly 2592 Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 Huh. Interesting. I couldn't tell for a minute.
RJP 23 Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 Huh. Interesting. I couldn't tell for a minute. I bet the staff couldn't either, which is probably why this happened.
