CNN or MSNBC will be eating down her door soon. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16616-the-espn-thread/page/2/#findComment-211540 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper550 291 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 US Open world feed has retouched graphics this year (different font and new color scheme for the new logo), but it's still arguably better than the actual ESPN graphics (unchanged, which is surprising given that they've gone back towards using dedicated looks for flagship events) [MEDIA=twitter]1034121025280065538[/MEDIA] (old) [MEDIA=twitter]638376123534065664[/MEDIA] Hilariously the video review still uses graphics based on the old 2006 CBS package.

TheFizzle21 39 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Wonder how ESPN will justify the studio space they built in NYC? Just move the morning edition of SportsCenter out there? Correct if I'm wrong, but First Take is heading to NYC, which I assume means that show will be out in that studio as well. So I can see one of two outcomes where (1) FT gets a different set in the same building OR (2) gets a space in that same area where Get Up takes place and just have FT start at the wide desk while the Get Up team ends the show standing up elsewhere. On a side note, I think a morning show is kind of a hard sell in the sports television world. ESPN had things in a good place when Mike & Mike was simulcast from their radio feed, but that's no longer a thing now. I would much rather flip SC AM as I wake up to catch my daily sports feed of the day before, but as we know, the information-to-go era has rocked the TV landscape in every way possible, hence why Bristol's own had to come up with a morning show they thought people would make it worth tuning into, if not, keeping up with on social media as many do now a days. I'm guessing their struggle is maybe they are trying too hard to replace M&M by going astray from that style of a sports morning show.

MorningNews 1446 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Jemele Hill is out. I've seen Jemele on ESPN twice already this week which is more than she's appeared in the last 6 months. I guess she's getting some last minute exposure. 5 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16616-the-espn-thread/page/2/#findComment-211703 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFizzle21 39 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 In response to why the ABC logo is blackened in the ticker, it's a network thing. Promos for the shows set to come around in the fall have the blackened logo as well, so unless the news department doesn't follow suit, the color-modded logo is dead. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16616-the-espn-thread/page/2/#findComment-212083 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think ABC is phasing out having the color-coded logos in favor of just the standard black logo, last time I checked earlier today while I was watching the Washington-Auburn game, I think ABC is only used the red-colored version of the logo for certain promos (but that's just my educated guess) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16616-the-espn-thread/page/2/#findComment-212102 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFizzle21 39 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I think ABC is phasing out having the color-coded logos in favor of just the standard black logo, last time I checked earlier today while I was watching the Washington-Auburn game, I think ABC is only used the red-colored version of the logo for certain promos (but that's just my educated guess) I have my doubts that they are keeping the red shade logo. I watched that same game, which is, to no surprise, where I found the promos for their comedy and drama shows. On the other hand, the promos I've seen for games on ABC use the solid black logo. Hence, it wouldn't make sense as the network already abandoned that concept around their scripted shows and the news shows will follow suit soon (the logo is updated in a newer promo for GMA Day). --------------------- On a side note, did anyone watch NC A&T vs East Carolina? I noticed that game still had the previous CFB package based on the 2014 SportsCenter look.

Viper550 291 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 ESPN adjusted their updated college football scoreboard, extending it down a bit to move the timeouts and win/loss counters, and re-arranged the clock area to a stacked layout where the clock is bigger when the down count is hidden. A bit cleaner but still thought the old vertical one was better [MEDIA=twitter]1040371902869630977[/MEDIA] Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16616-the-espn-thread/page/2/#findComment-213069 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late reply but, even ABC is starting to have some of their own elements in their sports telecasts (i.e ABC's name is on the Copyright stamp instead of ESPN).

Viper550 291 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 CBS renewed its PGA Championship rights, but ESPN has nabbed the cable rights beginning 2020. A unique feature? ESPN+ will be able to offer supplemental coverage during CBS's broadcast windows. I'm sure if CBS tries to use the same template they use for the Masters on ESPN (i.e. largely a CBS production but with some ESPN personalities sprinkled in), this might not be that bad.

24994J 5568 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 The MNF package reminds me of what Fox threw together for their last Super Bowl, with a poorly-modified version of the old scoreboard, with other, newer graphics. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16616-the-espn-thread/page/2/#findComment-214677 Share on other sites More sharing options...
