ColDayNews 438 Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Taken from WTTE. Fox News has updated the Special Report/Special Presentation open slide and logo to match the Fox News Channel's current look. However, the music stays the same (a cut from the O&O package) with Greg O'Neill's VO. Personally, I'd change the music to a current version of the Fox News Channel sounder, preferably the one used in the "Most Watched, Most Trusted... Fox News." promos.
ColDayNews 438 Posted January 31, 2018 Author Posted January 31, 2018 The images are broken. Problem should now be fixed.
Studio B 20 Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 It's about time for a graphics update as the prior countdown and intro had been in use since 2009 at least. And you'll notice a new lower left bug that matches the one being used on FNC which should provide a clean look when Fox broadcast simulcasts Fox News because previously, the old bug would sometimes intersect with the lower thirds. As many on here know, last night was an example of a Level 1 cut-in, hence it being a "Fox News Special Presentation" and not a "Fox News Special Report."

ColDayNews 438 Posted February 1, 2018 Author Posted February 1, 2018 when used for breaking news interruptions, will the new fox SR open include a 5 second countdown like the other networks? Look. I don't work for Fox News. This is a silly question. Yes, it will include a 20 and 10 second countdown, as it gives time for master control to switch to the feed. That's akin to asking if water is wet.
Journalist 894 Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Yes, it will include a 5 second countdown, as it gives time for master control to switch to the feed. ..or they might have a 20 second countdown hiding somewhere. Who knows?

I misspoke, I was intending to ask if Fox's SR countdown actually get on-air
Studio B 20 Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 For the president's remarks today in White Sulphur Springs, WV, the Fox special report used the old countdown and intro but it did have the updated lower third graphics and bug.
ColDayNews 438 Posted February 2, 2018 Author Posted February 2, 2018 For the president's remarks today in White Sulphur Springs, WV, the Fox special report used the old countdown and intro but it did have the updated lower third graphics and bug. The intro dates back to 2009. If I recall correctly, Fox tends to update their SR intros with every President. I do think it's time to retire the Greg O'Neill VO since he's no longer the voice of Fox News Channel or any of the O&Os.

Is special presentation level 1 and special report level 2?
Big Country News 435 Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 From what we can see in this video, FOX uses the current Special Report open. No update there.
ColDayNews 438 Posted February 6, 2018 Author Posted February 6, 2018 From what we can see in this video, FOX uses the current Special Report open. No update there. Why haven't they made the changeover yet? It's long overdue.
David Salter JR 66 Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 Why haven't they made the changeover yet? It's long overdue. They're probably waiting for a level 1 SR to make the changeover
Studio B 20 Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 Is special presentation level 1 and special report level 2? That's correct, hence why the State of the Union coverage was labeled as such.
DonDonP1 118 Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 Recently, a new "Fox News Special Report" intro just got unvieled at the beginning of the live breaking news coverage of the Florida high school shooting. The diffrence: the Fox news logo and the wide rectangle are in the color associated with breaking news: red. There are golden lines as well.

Weeters 1969 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 I, for one, am glad our long national nightmare of not knowing what this graphic looks like is over. Relief at last!
Studio B 20 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 Countdown and SR slate.[ATTACH=full]5464[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]5466[/ATTACH] I don't like the countdown slate as the number is the only thing that moves or changes. Looks cheap to me.
Studio B 20 Posted May 19, 2018 Posted May 19, 2018 As many on here know, last night was an example of a Level 1 cut-in, hence it being a "Fox News Special Presentation" and not a "Fox News Special Report." I have to retract these remarks because while all Level 1 are called "Fox News Special Presentation," the special presentation branding is not exclusively for Level 1's because the Royal Wedding coverage this morning, as well as the Barbara Bush funeral, were both introduced as a "Fox News Special Presentation" even though both are Level 2's.
