JosiahCubed 280 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I don't know why; but I feel like with the current Gray graphics packages, WAVE and KGMB/KHNL have the best implementations of them so far. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17000-the-ever-evolving-gray-graphics-situationthread/page/30/#findComment-271594 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggo 351 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Starting the newscast with a prolonged apology about the number of screwups you’ve been having? “We’re still learning.” Maybe they should have given the staff a bit more time to get used to things. That’s rather embarrassing.

GoldenShine9 1512 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I'd assume once those stations are done, they will slowly work on the ex-Quincy stations.

appleachian 131 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 The Gray looks are so bad that WVUE looks good in comparison. I watched them again recently when tornados came through NOLA. Those ancient Raycom graphics still look better than WBTV does after having been “Gray-ified.” 5 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17000-the-ever-evolving-gray-graphics-situationthread/page/30/#findComment-271820 Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricTheEnthusiast 39 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Speaking of WVUE, very quickly during the morning news (7:50 local time) Fox8 had a weather graphic that could have been a sign of a coming change. I unfortunately couldn’t screen grab it, but here’s a pic of it. Any thoughts? 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17000-the-ever-evolving-gray-graphics-situationthread/page/30/#findComment-272026 Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricTheEnthusiast 39 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Last night during the news at 9 and 10 on WVUE, David Bernard had several graphics with the new look. See the attached screenshots. Seems less like a mistake and more deliberate at this point. Do we think a change is imminent? Any guesses as to when, and which package it will be?

tyrannical bastard 3933 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I"m hoping the WBTV package is the one that WVUE eventually ends up with. It's probably the most "major market" look they have right now. Then again, it would look a lot like WGNO's package, especially with the way the lower thirds are designed. Graphic packages aside, as long as it doesn't look totally awful and makes the on-air product look like garbage, WVUE should be just fine. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17000-the-ever-evolving-gray-graphics-situationthread/page/30/#findComment-272142 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been bastardized heavily since then. WBTV has the same opens as KPLC but different L3s. WBRC has different opens but the same L3s, just red instead of blue. So I guess we could still be somewhat surprised. We know based upon the weather graphics shown above that WVUE is going blue. So maybe a custom open and the WBTV L3s? That wouldn’t be too horrible. Still was hoping for more tho. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17000-the-ever-evolving-gray-graphics-situationthread/page/30/#findComment-272185 Share on other sites More sharing options...
