Kyle R 46 Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 I thought they wouldn't be getting the graphics till May. They're getting the update in time for May sweeps.
rkolsen 1686 Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 So @susquvalleywgal is WGAL running the new or old ticker?
T.L. Hughes 903 Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 KOCO will not be debuting the updated ticker for now. Because of the teacher walkout that has resulted in the closure of 70% of Oklahoma's school districts, KOCO is running the existing 4:3-safe-framed closings ticker during all of its newscasts (including the 4:30-7:00 a.m. newscast, where its normal news ticker would usually appear). So in that case, it's likely that KOCO won't debut any elements of the updated package until Wednesday.

rkolsen 1686 Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 I think the old ticker. We don’t have the new traffic ticker like WBAL does. I could be wrong. — Matt Could just be a different traffic data supplier. The easiest way to tell us if everything is outside the 4:3 safe zone. Edit: Here's a montage of logos they used as ID's for their 70th. [MEDIA=imgur]a/WEBhI[/MEDIA]
Kyle R 46 Posted April 3, 2018 Posted April 3, 2018 My math was off and I cannot do dates. I believe the stations are launching Thursday, not Wednesday. My bad....

Forgive me as I don't know how all this works.....are you guys getting info/ conformations from the stations? Or are we all just guessing here?

I'm surprised that KOCO didn't get the new look before the Teacher Walkout took place (maybe they're still prepping for the rollout or something like that)

Then again, Same could be said for WISN and Brewers Opening Day today
MyNewsArchive 197 Posted April 3, 2018 Posted April 3, 2018 Watched the open of WISN 12 News This Morning and while no new graphics, I think they debuted the new ticker this morning? Could the rest come tonight or before Wednesday?

MarkAP 10 Posted April 3, 2018 Posted April 3, 2018 Did any of the other stations in the old tickers had an app icon in the left side? Because WESH had the app icon instead of a logo. Old: [ATTACH=full]5682[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]5683[/ATTACH] And you can find the new elsewhere. What did the old bug look like. Here WBAL just inserts a crystallized version of their logo. Sometimes it’s big others it’s small. Old: [ATTACH=full]5682[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]5683[/ATTACH] And you can find the new elsewhere. What did the old bug look like.

dkipcl 5 Posted April 3, 2018 Posted April 3, 2018 WCVB seems to have just added time and temp to the bug Edit: Didn't see it on the 11 o'clock

edladd 14 Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 I saw a KOCO news promo about their coverage of the teacher walkouts...and in the promo the bug was outside the 4:3 safe area.
jrh1985 57 Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 WCVB seems to have just added time and temp to the bug[ATTACH=full]5710[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]5711[/ATTACH] Edit: Didn't see it on the 11 o'clock Just now they added that?!?!? WISN had that for 5 years! Nothing new for WISN this morning, can't say I'm shocked. Not even the new ticker, still the Election ticker from last night which could be the old one? It looks bigger than the new one. Any chance of the change over before 11 tonight? Even with Mark in FL?
Boston Media Watch 0 Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 WCVB has always had time and temp. They just revised it a few days ago.
jbnews 345 Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 WCVB seems to have just added time and temp to the bug[ATTACH=full]5710[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]5711[/ATTACH] Edit: Didn't see it on the 11 o'clock They have had the time/temp since 2012. They just changed the font to what some other stations are using and added that bar in the middle. It looks nice!
jrh1985 57 Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 Tomorrow, folks. When should look for them? 12 News This Morning or 12 News At 5:00? Will Mark be back tomorrow or is he off the whole week?
tjt24 315 Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 Tomorrow, folks. Does this include WTAE? I've checked for the new ticker the past few mornings, and they haven't got it yet.
Weeters 1969 Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 Edit: Didn't see it on the 11 o'clock You never put a time bug on the late news. It reminds people what time it is and they turn off the TV and go to bed. It's kinda the same reason restaurants never have clocks in them.
dkipcl 5 Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 Guess I've been watching too much WBZ. They've have the time and temp on 'BZ at 11 for years.

WBAL doesn't use it except on weekend mornings when they didn't run a ticker. But now they are experimenting with a ticker weekend mornings.
