The Ever-Evolving Gray Graphics Situation...Thread

[nathannah 2444]

WBAY is at Gray...Half right now. They have the ticker and the bug good to go, but the older-gen weather, main graphics and L3 system is still in use (I assume the plan is to have it all done by draft night on the 24th for sure). It actually still works together despite the two different design languages.

I decided to record the first three minutes of WBAY's noon news yesterday to see it in action for prosperity. Yes, I'm plan to do more videos like this again but not as consistent or as much as other YouTubers.

Action 2 News at Noon reverted back to the old ticker and the old time/temp bug today.

 

EDIT: Old ticker at 4pm too.

WUAB has a "new" logo....as they transition back into an independent station when the CW moves (back) to WBNX.
WBNX is now owned by Nexstar and from what I'm hearing, is now being operated remotely by one of Nexstar's hubs.

 

It's a long time coming.  WUAB has suffered greatly since the Raycom days and going independent again will hopefully be a good thing, especially since Nexstar has watered down the CW into a crap network with "wider" appeal.

If anything screams '2000s imagining consultants imagining what the kids like', it was their branding the most at that time; "43 The Block" remains on the hill of worst station brandings above "JoeTV" and that short time KWGN was "The Deuce". "Cleveland's 43" is a signal that there are finally adults in the room.

WYMT has removed the CBS eye from its logo on their 24/7 livestream. More GrayOne assets also appear.

I can confirm WYMT will be switching to GrayONE this year as part of their 40th anniversary celebration. They are slowly working it into promos and weather has fully gone GrayONE (Watch an entire Weather cast.) The CBS Eye removal is part of the Gray Mandate.
