Georgie56 3304 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I really hate that bold Proxima Nova on the L3s. The execution of the graphics looks very cheap. Like KYTX cheap. Interesting how they’re using channel number instead of the CBS eye outline in the open.

I can imagine it'll look better in a week. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16271-kfmb-slow-death-thread/page/7/#findComment-213802 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine it'll look better in a week. What happened to all the "training"...sheesh! They send people to KUSA, they train more in-house. We end up with this Sh#t Show that looks like gerbers baby food throw-up. It's flat. They painted the condos down the street the same stupid orange puke color. I don't know squat about TV graphics...but I DO know this sucks.

n925tv 143 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 It just doesn't fit... happy "Netflix n' Chill millennial" intro music on the open, then immediately cut to a breaking news opener of someone dying or of some terrorist attack. Just amazing how a drastic change of the graphics changes the whole aura and vibe of an iconic and respected San Diego television station. If I was a visitor here, I would think this was a high school production level of a station, lowest rated station too. You ruined our station's look, happy now, Tegna? Each character you don't use saves money right, had to put NXT to be all hip and cool, ooh la la!! Chopper's gone ("temporarily" they say), probably axed it so they save more money not having to make a Chopper 8 graphic and repainting the Chopper. Already got Drone 8 over the Fairgrounds I see!

I would’ve just used the breaking news intro alone instead of the “Netflix n’ chill” intro. Hopefully they’ll use the graphics properly as time goes on. KFMB’s execution (for now) looks like a newscast in a sub-100 market.

A3N 1002 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I haven't been tuning in too much lately, but I did wonder why they did not have Chopper 8? Did they say why it's not in the air? obviously they won't say due to budget cuts, but did they say due to maintenance related issues?

It's typical this time of year to conserve (bank) helicopter hours because October / November has proven to be the worst fire months. I'm going with that until I hear otherwise.

Did you see the 5pm??? It's blue and purple...it looks like a bruised boxer. Thanks @NotInTV for posting the original clips earlier for all of us to see. I know that takes time and effort, so thanks again.

TVnews 4 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Did they get rid of Bill Ratner as V/O? I think Eric Rubalcava is the new voice of the station. He's listed himself as the backup voice over artist for the station and his website samples sound like the new guy. https://www.linkedin.com/in/eric-rubalcava-610452156 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16271-kfmb-slow-death-thread/page/7/#findComment-213832 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting how they’re using channel number instead of the CBS eye outline in the open. I'm not sure they're allowed to use the eye on CW. I remember seeing it disappear from the set when they got the affiliation. Probably makes it easier to just have one open. Wonder if they're going to change the website to kfmb.com.
