KnoxvilleTVFan 286 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 KNBN in Rapid City, South Dakota recently unveiled new graphics for its newscasts and these graphics are very familiar. They are the Scripps graphics. Here's the before... Here's the after... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesapeakeTV 310 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Well...either Jim Simpson has some friends in high places, or the folks in KNBN's creative services department have become the undisputed masters of knocking off looks. The previous look didn't last long...when I last visited the area in 2014 they were using that's been mentioned on TVNT before. Either way, a very nice update - and they're certainly getting their money's worth out of The Rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country News 435 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Renderon may now be syndicating the package. Scripps certainly got their use out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be a sign that Scripps may be rolling out a new graphics package in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
who?cares 253 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 It could be a sign that Scripps may be rolling out a new graphics package in the near future. I’ve been thinking this since WJAX got their variation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad 113 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Maybe Meredith's WNEM might get the now-syndicated Scripps graphics. From 2007-2010, KTVT (a CBS O&O) used a package similar to that of Media General at the time: the beginning of the open was similar, and the lower thirds were the same as Media General's.

Webovision 202 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 It could be a sign that Scripps may be rolling out a new graphics package in the near future. depends on what your definition of "near" is... this really doesn't have anything to do with that... renderon could have simply put a clause in their scripps contract saying "we get to syndicate this after x years"... something new is coming... but not "soon"...

Samantha 2878 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 It's a new look, but that NewsCenter1 logo is so thoroughly dominated by the NBC peacock it isn't even funny. Never mind the 1 protruding into the peacock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 1847 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 It's a new look, but that NewsCenter1 logo is so thoroughly dominated by the NBC peacock it isn't even funny. Never mind the 1 protruding into the peacock. And never mind its not called NewsCenter 21, which could've been easily called like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2878 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 And never mind its not called NewsCenter 21, which could've been easily called like that. They haven't even been on cable channel 1 in an eternity. Yet they keep the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwestTV 1173 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Can we talk about what a nice cut of The Rock that is? It works almost flawlessly with the open. It could be a sign that Scripps may be rolling out a new graphics package in the near future. Agreed. I don't see why this would be a thing unless a new look was coming, unless, as Webovision said, there was a stipulation. Wasn't non-NBC O&Os getting whatever the standard look was at that time an indication a new look would be unveiling? Maybe not, but it seems like it might have been. Some stations might have just paid to be able to use the look. depends on what your definition of "near" is... this really doesn't have anything to do with that... renderon could have simply put a clause in their scripps contract saying "we get to syndicate this after x years"... something new is coming... but not "soon"... Interesting idea, the potential contract stipulation. Regarding how soon, "soon" is, the current look is nearly 5 and a half years old and debuted on the NBC affiliates on/soon after the 2012 Olympics. While obviously nothing new came during the Rio Games, it's not too farfetched to wonder if Scripps would launch a new look with the Winter Games coming up in February.

newsn8te 190 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I like it. It's kind of cool to see the Scripps package on a random station. Is it just me or does the lower third look a little off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
