Morphtato 43 Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 As I initially posted on Discord, ABC 33/40 appears to be next in line for the new graphics. They have phased in the new Sinclair WX graphics. They also transitioned from TWC/WSI Max to Baron.
MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 988 Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 The only thing I'm not liking about the latest package/update is in the weather Upper 3rds... The Weather Logos aren't meshing well... especially those with that silvery border... looks out of place
tyrannical bastard 4084 Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 33/40 in Birmingham now has the new Sinclair Graphics in their newscasts.

TheRolyPoly 2665 Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 I don't get why WBMA is now calling their 5:00 p.m. newscast as "First at 5:00" when they also have an hour-long newscast that's earlier than that at 4:00 p.m.

If it isn't then, yeah, that is strange lol. I wonder if 4:00 is a different format or something (pre-COVID 19)?

tyrannical bastard 4084 Posted May 18, 2020 Posted May 18, 2020 Another former Bonten station (finally) gets the Sinclair package. WCTI in New Bern. Along with the new set the station just debuted today It is strange they still have the old weather graphics, usually Sinclair changes them in advance of a graphics update, coinciding with either a software upgrade or platform change of the WX computers.

This just leaves KECI, NBC Montana, as the last remaining Bonten station that has not fully converted to the Sinclair graphics.

When KRCR-TV switched to the Sinclair Curves graphics last year, the weather graphics were (and still are) from the new package, albeit with a few elements (e.g., radar legends, basemaps) from the Bonten-era package.
Yankees4life 566 Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 KHQA gets Sinclarified I'm gonna miss the X-Package tho
CircleSeven 1963 Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 New station. WSBT is now using the Sinclair gfx.

Surprised it took so long for the "mothership" to Sinclair-ize itself while the other two had the "Curves" package from their origins from South Bend. Do they still have the exact same anchor teams?

Yes, WNWO and WOLF still have the same anchor teams utilizing the secondary studio at WSBT's facilities. Also, subtle difference between WNWO, WOLF, and WSBT: WNWO and WOLF are using the new music, whereas WSBT is still using the "Curves" music.
ScottSchell 374 Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 I'm wondering if and when KTUL may get this graphics update.

I've seen teases of KOKH in the new graphics but so far it's been limited to promos. Nothing in the newscast as of yet. What I do know is that it's eventually going to come to both KOKH and KTUL the only question isn't a matter of if but when.
