Georgie56 3305 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? 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 Share 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.

Que 73 Posted May 12, 2018 Share 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.

MorningNews 1448 Posted May 12, 2018 Share 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.

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!! Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16084-tegnas-new-graphics/page/32/#findComment-203816 Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ 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!

Jess 1115 Posted May 13, 2018 Share 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. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16084-tegnas-new-graphics/page/32/#findComment-203832 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mre29 1524 Posted May 13, 2018 Share 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.
