MikePulse 318 Posted September 7, 2018 Posted September 7, 2018 Yeah, the slogan's kind of clunky. One other thing, they included the date in the open. Including the current date in pre-open newscast teasers was unfortunately something that went out in the late 1990s; KTRK's graphics packages in the 1980s are the only instances I can think of in which the date was included in the main opening sequence. That aside. It all looks so good, you forget the corporate overlords that own them. (Mission statement notwithstanding)
newsanchor26 107 Posted September 7, 2018 Posted September 7, 2018 I see they ditched the American flag on the L3s! The bug is still backed with the American flag graphic
CaptainBAL 93 Posted September 7, 2018 Posted September 7, 2018 I'm not only impressed with the new graphics but the new studio! Very blue, wow. Now they have to get rid of that storm watch graphic...
MidwestTV 1240 Posted September 7, 2018 Posted September 7, 2018 Not bad at all. Text may be a bit large. What really disappoints me is that they didn't get rid of that awful music.
rkolsen 1685 Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 Here’s a montage of the new graphics and most of the set.
Journalist 894 Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 However, who in the right F***ING mind would think of a slogan "Connecting People with Content Everywhere" ? Like seriously ?
ColDayNews 438 Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 Their Fox 45 News logo reminds me of WRGT’s late 90s/early 00s logo. Old and clunky.
Guest Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 Here’s a montage of the new graphics and most of the set. So the animated American flag isn't totally gone, it's just now faded behind the logo bug.

ED2 144 Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 The graphics look like something that the Tribune graphics team started for WBFF before the merger deal went sour...
rkolsen 1685 Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 The graphics look like something that the Tribune graphics team started for WBFF before the merger deal went sour... I see where your going.
ABC 7 Denver 1729 Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 Watch the "Latest News Broadcast" https://abc6onyourside.com/watch I didn't know that WSYX had overhauled their graphics.
Georgie56 3324 Posted September 17, 2018 Author Posted September 17, 2018 Watch the "Latest News Broadcast" https://abc6onyourside.com/watch I didn't know that WSYX had overhauled their graphics. Yeah, to Curves v2.
rkolsen 1685 Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 Yeah, to Curves v2. Their ticker looks much better compared to WBFF.
kfc513 238 Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 I feel like Hothaus made these graphics, judging by how these are animated. (Yes, I know it’s unbelievable)
tyrannical bastard 4028 Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 WEAR has overhauled their weather graphics to the new ones like WBFF's package, although they still are with the 16x9 variant of the original "Curves" package. Here's a sample from their radar: Have there been any other Sinclair stations to take the plunge? Usually the WX computers are before and separate of the rest of the graphics, due to their specialized purpose....
MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 947 Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 You can add KEPR to the newest version of the graphics (only the weather right now... still has the Fisher graphics for news) EDIT: KIMA also has the same setup as sister KEPR -- Newest weather graphics, Fisher for news graphics
abric 181 Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Just to bump this. WJLA started to use the new graphics for mainly weather and promos in the past couple of weeks.

I actually like it much better than the previous wx graphics.
Georgie56 3324 Posted January 21, 2019 Author Posted January 21, 2019 Glad it looks like this package is going to be spread throughout most of the group. It looks nice.

Well, WHP has not gotten these new gfx yet ... and probably never well. They dind’t get the new website template yet!!! I feel WHP is the ugly Glendive step-child Of Sinclair. — Matt

They still got Gari's Daily News music package, those ancient Sinclair graphics (weather segments still have the WWBT graphics) and that late-2000's news set that should've been gone a long time ago.

WJLA has launched - not sure when today, but the new look is live on the 4p show. They clearly have some bugs to sort out but the animations are a big improvement over the previous look.
