MidwestTV 1232 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 WAVE is what I'd envision a Tegna V3 or Scripps V3 update would have looked like. The L3s are very reminiscent of Tegna. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17000-the-ever-evolving-gray-graphics-situationthread/page/13/#findComment-236081 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Lilly Broadcasting is working on a refresh to their existing package. That should debut in early 2020. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17000-the-ever-evolving-gray-graphics-situationthread/page/13/#findComment-236095 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, Gray should hire them to do that package (in colors that suit the stations) company-wide. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17000-the-ever-evolving-gray-graphics-situationthread/page/13/#findComment-236113 Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWA_TV_guy 151 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I found this on YouTube, but I can’t place it with a graphics package that a station in the group uses.

GoldenShine9 1513 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Have the other Gray recent acquisitions like WWNY and KEYC changed to these packages as well? I know we talk a lot on the ex-Raycom stations.

TheRyan 560 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) Well at least the open has more depth to it than WWSB's open. But I'm not a huge fan of this gfx package. That random spinning sphere seems awkward, in this open.

TheRyan 560 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 By the way, another observation I'll make: Why didn't Gray invest in new duratrans for WDAM's set? It doesn't match the new graphics very well. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17000-the-ever-evolving-gray-graphics-situationthread/page/13/#findComment-236937 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll make this observation, that weather man was clearly having a problem with his IFB and was probably pissed because you could see him tug it hard out of his ear. Producers and directors need to make sure IFBs are on and working before going on the air, that was very tacky and shame on them for not making sure his was okay beforehand.

It seems like he may have been dealing with the IFB picking up too much noise (more than just director's cues)...but that's purely a guess. On a side note, I've occasionally noticed some reporters (at other stations) will literally pull out their IFB when they start their live shot. I wonder why they do that.

When a reporter does this, it's because they aren't mix-minused properly, so they hear feedback (themselves on a delay) which isn't delightful. Usually a result of an audio operator forgetting to do so.

tyrannical bastard 3955 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 WDAM looks okay, it could be far worse. Better than what WLOX has for sure. Usually, they're one of my "fringe" stations (along with WHLT which comes in more often), but reception is worse this time of year. Here's hoping WVUE gets something halfway decent. Bonus points if they work in purple (and put the final nail in WWL's coffin...) 4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17000-the-ever-evolving-gray-graphics-situationthread/page/13/#findComment-237173 Share on other sites More sharing options...
