PTVNews 194 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 On 1/31/2025 at 3:54 PM, ATLNewsExpert said: CNN recently debuted it's AR extensions of Studio H at Techwood, which has allowed them to use more wide shots of the studio as a whole. The fake windows ruin the effect. Otherwise not bad, but I feel the textures could be improved to make it even more realistic. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16640-cnn-the-continuing-soap-opera/page/40/#findComment-303366 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mouseboy33 91 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Amara Walker was totally underutilized. She was probably one of the best when it came to International News. And unshakeable during breaking news. She should have been the lead anchor at that network. She was never going to get used to her full potential at CNN Domestic. This is sad day. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16640-cnn-the-continuing-soap-opera/page/40/#findComment-303488 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely underutilized. But she's only 43 (?) and could always make a return to cable news (or even local news) in the future. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16640-cnn-the-continuing-soap-opera/page/40/#findComment-303490 Share on other sites More sharing options...
YourWorldToday 15 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 (edited) I think a lot of people are leaving because they see the writing on the wall, both at CNN and in TV journalism as a whole. As long as CNN stays owned by WBD and Zaslav, it's going to be a bit toothless because he is trying to curry favor with Trump so as not to impede his M&A ambitions. Sad.

Should have had her and Victor do the weekday show instead of Kasie Hunt.

mouseboy33 91 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) I hate this. This and the virtual extensions of the Atlanta set just give cheap vibes. This is not the CNN of yester-year. The money and the personnel are gone and they are trying to do what they used to do. They are trying to make Atlanta "HQ" feel "big" like CNN Center used to. And it just doesnt. Its done. Why not do realistic VR instead of this ridiculous OTT VR? It just looks stupid. Sadly FNC is the popular "Kool-Aid" channel. They have given viewers the ammo to fuel their views and that outrage brings in viewers. Not much you can do to compete with that. I cant see CNN ever coming back to popularity. They will be forever chasing viewers. FNC is a outrage commentary channel. CNN feels sadly like a directionless lost cause.

nathannah 2401 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 This looks like NewsNet with an actual budget...very, very tired of virtual studios and minimalist graphics which aren't explained well. They thrive with experts discussing stories on their own with just a basic screen or touch panel. Nobody needs this. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16640-cnn-the-continuing-soap-opera/page/40/#findComment-304086 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLNewsExpert 453 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) Here's you're look at "The Arena's" graphics minutes into the premiere. Did not get the title card so I'll add the promo card instead. Very flat, funky, and use of gradients. Also, during the teaser Hunt was walking around, and the walls displayed similarly funky and "out there" pictures of the founding fathers, Lincoln, etc. The (morning) Situation Room kept the graphics and added Pamela Brown's name to the logo, very ugly though, I'll add.

mouseboy33 91 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Another YAWN talking head political show. The interview she gave TVNEWSER she tried to explain what makes her talking head panel show different from the 50 other talking head panel show. "You get the full picture, both sides, blah blah blah." PASS. 2 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16640-cnn-the-continuing-soap-opera/page/40/#findComment-304099 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLNewsExpert 453 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I've noticed that CNN is slowly phasing out the red box from the logo, first it started with the website a while back, now it's making it's way to shorts, long form digital videos and promos, with the promos showing a small animation for the logo, sort of like they used to do in the 90's, like so. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16640-cnn-the-continuing-soap-opera/page/40/#findComment-304191 Share on other sites More sharing options...
