This newscast was only aired on the ABC subchannel. I was listening closely and I can hear where you might here the G-E-C in what ever instrument is used. But I didn’t hear anything like the typical xylophone chimes.

But I didn’t hear anything like the typical xylophone chimes. When the theme first premiered I was convinced that this portion of the theme was the French take on the NBC chimes, now I'm starting to wonder if it's just a coincidence that it kinda sounds like the NBC G-E-C tone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=11eKCc9rrOE;t=8
atlnews2 600 Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 KCEN has the graphics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=HYC914rK5LE;t=0

The music isn’t that bad.

MyNewsArchive 197 Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 At least they don't have that ugly version of the time/temp bug anymore. Oh yeah, when the graphics begin rolling out to the other ABC affiliates, i really do hope KIII in Corpus Christi adopts the proper time/temp bug on their graphics, and uses it on their noon/afternoon newscasts instead only on the morning newscasts.
MyNewsArchive 197 Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 WWL4 in New Orleans got the new website design, making it the first CBS affiliate to get the design. ** EDIT: So did ABC10 KXTV Sacramento.
Conrad 113 Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 The only NBC station left to get the new graphics is KAGS. On a side note, is WBIR still mentioning they're broadcasting in HD?
jbnews 346 Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 KUSA has new weather icons. Do you live in the Denver market? If so, could you upload some new KUSA montages to your YouTube channel? I think you're the one who has posted them before.
C Block 1574 Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 I cut down another KUSA 10pm as they've since figured out the open. You can also hear a lot of the new music in an old school KUSA long close. This also shows the set after work was done on it, but aside from the improve lighting on the stone panels on either side of the video wall, I don't see much of a difference.
Georgie56 3350 Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 KUSA has new weather icons. Ahh...much better.
mre29 1589 Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 I really like the new graphics...with the sole exception of the white background the weather graphics are on. They couldn't have thrown in a scenic backdrop?
MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 986 Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 I really like the new graphics...with the sole exception of the white background the weather graphics are on. They couldn't have thrown in a scenic backdrop? I have seen KPNX use a desert background on occasions.. Especially when Lindsay Riley has been there...
Jess 1115 Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 After hearing more of the Tegna music, I'm actually starting to like it. The choir and clapping is a little odd for the opening music, but I totally see the connection to the SNCF theme now. But a lot of the bump music and stingers that I've heard are really beautiful so far. It's... growing on me. The open cut is a little too droning for me but the other parts sound pretty decent. It's distinctive at least. I will go on to admit that the Malfunctioning Fax Machine became one of my guilty pleasure favorites. Maybe this will hit the same spot. Who knows. TBH, it's not great news music. It has no gravitas and nothing that screams brand recall. It's no traditional, sure, but it says nothing about the product. It's news-y to me, but more of a cable news type of thing. Not really memorable but more of a bed-ish type music. I do think they were better off with those early implementations they had with "This is Home". That actually went pretty good with these graphics. Kudos to Tegna for going outside of the Warner Chappell/Stephen Arnold monolith for their news theme at least. I'd like to see other composers' sounds on news themes and not the same styles we've heard for literally decades now. (I'd donate a kidney to see what Joel Beckerman/Man Made Music could do with a local news theme for example.)

I didn't think that the French music could pair well with KUSA's long closes but somehow they made it work. The music is slowly growing on me too.
bixpchiphead 105 Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 The vibe I get from the new Tegna music reminds me a lot of the recent music for CBC's local newscasts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=MbqybXIAUV8;m=9;s=58

NewsStar2 90 Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 The only NBC station left to get the new graphics is KAGS. On a side note, is WBIR still mentioning they're broadcasting in HD? It looks like KAGS started using them on Friday. The chief meteorologist, Bob French, even mentions it's part of a rollout among the TEGNA stations. http://www.kagstv.com/article/weather/forecast/college-station-local-forecast/499-121096947
MyNewsArchive 197 Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 KHOU has been airing some new promos with a glimpse of the new graphics package.
