ChrisC-R 15 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 News 4 ditched Look F yesterday for some graphics that kinda has SOME resemblance to the current O&O look.(except for the L3's and the 7day, those look like from another station I can't think of.) Below are some pics from News4 Today at 6a this morning. The first one is their breaking news open due to snow coverage since yesterday. Also to note, Tower V.6 is being used as the new music with Jim Cutler still going strong.

That actually is Look N! It’s heavily modified though, you can see the lower thirds and title cards have the same exact elements.

When did The Tower get updated? EDIT: Looked on WarnerChappell music’s webpage, the tower still has 5 versions.

Big Country News 435 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 When did The Tower get updated? 2017 sometime. The updates debuted on KSBY a couple weeks ago.

ChrisC-R 15 Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 Also, I don't know if they've done this before but during the 5 and 10 there were talent opens with just Tom, Tracy, and Lisa. I'm only guessing they will add the others later on.(These went a little fast and a little difficult to get great quality on it.)

oklahomanewsman 210 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Interestingly, WSMV debuted the new graphics on 4WARN Weather Alert day Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16224-wsmv-news-4s-new-graphics/#findComment-194375 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Info Junkie 1286 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Not digging the new font. The way it’s used on the L3’s looks cheap. Also it’s amazing that Meredith stations like WSMV, KPTV and KCTV can get superior-like graphics yet WNEM has this garbage: Maybe they’ll be next. Also who is the sports director now since Kalis left? Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16224-wsmv-news-4s-new-graphics/#findComment-194439 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also who is the sports director now since Kalis left? I agree about WNEM being the one with not-so-great graphics(it's making seem like they want to be like a certain 3-letter station wink-wink) I do hope they are next. As for WSMV Sports, I believe it's Chris Harris even though Kalis's bio is still up.

FiveNews 371 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Wait...When did they switch to News 4 from Channel 4 News? Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16224-wsmv-news-4s-new-graphics/#findComment-194451 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark 55 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I didn't realize until recently that WSMV had ditched the longtime "Channel 4 News" name and rebranded to "News 4." I wonder why they felt the need to change from one generic name to another. More puzzling because the market already has a "News 2." EDIT: FiveNews beat me to it! Seems to have happened in the last half of 2017. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16224-wsmv-news-4s-new-graphics/#findComment-194452 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC-R 15 Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 Wait...When did they switch to News 4 from Channel 4 News? I think it was before the Predators got in the Stanley Cup Finals.

qunewsguy 377 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 This package looks more like a bad in-house knockoff than anything. The animations are clunky and look like they're done completely within VizRT.

CaptainNews 287 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 So yes. It’s confirmed to be Look N via NBC Arthouse. I just think those L3’s need to be redesigned.
