WTVM, WVUE, KAIT, WFIE, KCBD, KSWO, KAUZ, KGMB/KHNL. WWNY also haven't switched (even though this was a United Comm. outlet). Edited December 14, 2020 by CircleSeven Just found out another station switched. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17000-the-ever-evolving-gray-graphics-situationthread/page/21/#findComment-254507 Share on other sites More sharing options...
who?cares 254 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Sounds like WAFF is still using a mix between the Rock and INergy.

LexTVandRadio 418 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) I really hope some of the older Gray stations get an update, but most likely won't until the ALL the Raycom stations get updated. WYMT has had the same look since 4/2014 and WKYT since 9/2015 Edited December 15, 2020 by LexTVandRadio 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17000-the-ever-evolving-gray-graphics-situationthread/page/21/#findComment-254530 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven 1955 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Slowly, but surely, the new graphics are creeping into the pre-Raycom outlets. Valley News Live (KVLY/KXJB) have the same graphic pack its sister station down I-29 have (KSFY/KDLT). 5 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17000-the-ever-evolving-gray-graphics-situationthread/page/21/#findComment-255430 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animations seldom work (delayed, glitchy, animations seem incomplete), the quad-sreen over Morken's shoulder has been blacked out during the newscast all week (the screens themselves are not new- part of the studio re-design in 2012-ish. Is it software related? pre-mature rollout? 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17000-the-ever-evolving-gray-graphics-situationthread/page/21/#findComment-255435 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw this today at noon and it's making me think they're just going to hold off until they do any construction to build a new set. The set is at least ten years old except for some updated duratrans and weather branding. They are using some of the AR features that the already upgraded stations are using during weather. WFIE is just "landlocked" in an aging building.

tyrannical bastard 3948 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I hope whatever WVUE gets, it's a package with a twinge of customization to it, like WBRC had their own spin on the so-called "over-used" variant that WRDW/WAGT just got. Even if the main color is purple, it's New Orleans, and it will work there. The WBTV package is good. The only problem is that it looks so similar to the KOIN Nexstar package that WGNO just got (especially with the lower thirds). Except that Gray does a much better job overall of executing it. It would take a lot to screw up WVUE. And since their competition has crumbled before them, WVUE has the clear advantage no matter what they end up with.

Briella 234 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Typically I would say WVUE would never move away from blue, but with WGNO leaving the purple train, I could see it.

tyrannical bastard 3948 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 WTVY is revamping their look on Thursday. This includes a refreshed logo, new graphics and a refreshed set. https://www.wtvy.com/2021/03/01/wtvy-introduces-new-branding/ Graphics-wise, they have a similar package to the one that's about to be replaced at WSAZ, and their set is about a decade old, and is one of the standard-issue Gray ones from that era. I'm sure any updates will also extend to WRGX, their low-powered NBC station. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17000-the-ever-evolving-gray-graphics-situationthread/page/21/#findComment-257329 Share on other sites More sharing options...
froyo49 230 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Something I noticed at the end of the WTVY article: Quote The new custom soundtrack was composed by Stephen Arnold Music. Interesting that a station in market 172 commissioned a custom soundtrack, unless they're talking about a few updates to an existing package. I guess we'll see Thursday.
