dman748 1250 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Looks like 40/29 still have the previous package BUT have new weather alert icon. Interesting. -- Matt Which tells me that KHBS is getting close to debuting their new set (and with it will likely come with new graphics) however, KHBS could debut the new graphics before the new set debuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfc513 225 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 WISN got out the weather alert bar today; certainly looks so much better and compact than the old version (sorry for the HDHomerun artifacts on the cap at the right; it's wonky with the iOS beta for some reason). That weather alert bar has been around for a while with the previous diagrid look. It's shocking to see that WISN is just now using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkolsen 1678 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 That weather alert bar has been around for a while with the previous diagrid look. It's shocking to see that WISN is just now using it. I’m pretty sure it’s been used on WISN before and we discussed it. As for the weather alert icons I wonder where they got the idea to use a yield type of design.

Just curious This is now week 3 or 4 that they’ve been on the temp set. At that time only the NBC and CBS stations were using the new graphics. The ABC stations who debuted the new graphics were transitioned well after 40/29, who is an ABC affiliate, went to their temp set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So by the time everybody else gets the new graphics, KHBS will likely be the last Hearst-owned station to get the new look correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t be surprised if WMUR is the last station to get the look. Or a butchered up version of the look. — Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.L. Hughes 751 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Even as I say graphics are done with 4:3...I agree. The time/temp is a little bit too outside the 'safe area' of older HDTVs where you can't set them to pixel-by-pixel and they underscan at least 5-10% of the picture. ESPN does it right with the BottomLine even though it looks bulky pixel-by-pixel. To clarify, the DTV converters hooked up to both Sylvanias are set to letterbox mode, so the underscan effect mentioned that occurs with older HD sets also happens with 4:3 letterboxing on SDTV sets not capable of scanning the entire picture. So did KOCO, I don't know if KOCO will switch to the Diagrid 2.0 ticker for school closings or for the morning news as of yet (they probably will however) No updated ticker on this morning's broadcast; in fact, KOCO did not include a news ticker at all. We'll see if they switch to the 2.0 ticker in the coming days, but if it's a no show for most of the week, I'll email the station to mention it. Looks like 40/29 still have the previous package BUT have new weather alert icon. Interesting. -- Matt It appears to be a designated icon to denote severe weather days. KOCO now uses it on its "5 + 5-Day Forecast," in addition to highlighting the day panels when severe weather is forecast to occur within Oklahoma as they have done since it switched the extended forecast to a 10-day format. There appears to be a similar yellow icon without a circle to denote other hazardous weather days with no expected severe weather. WISN got out the weather alert bar today; certainly looks so much better and compact than the old version (sorry for the HDHomerun artifacts on the cap at the right; it's wonky with the iOS beta for some reason). KOCO has used that alert graphic for a couple of years now, but only on its MeTV subchannel for some reason (the Oklahoma state map it uses, though, is shown at the bottom of the screen instead of bordering the bar). The station still uses its eight-year-old map- and text-only alert graphic on its main channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkolsen 1678 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 How much of WMUR overlaps WCVB territory?? Just curious... About half of each of their signals overlap according to RabbitEars.info. Plus both stations are carried on all systems together as WMUR is in the Boston DMA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
