It is how programming is sold, how broadcast coverage is defined, how ownership within a market is limited, etc. The thing with DMAs is that Nielsen has basically stopped publishing rankings every year. The FCC is looking for a replacement metric as of now. 5 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17000-the-ever-evolving-gray-graphics-situationthread/page/34/#findComment-278653 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having been familiar with the Wichita market for decades, it's a pretty refreshing change and modernizes them quite a bit.

T.L. Hughes 890 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) Like the KWCH post, this doesn’t really have to do with graphics (since the station is still using the Quincy package for now), but WPTA brought back the legacy “21 Alive” branding on Monday (October 17) after a six-year run under the “ABC 21” moniker. The logo introduced with the Quincy package was modified to replace the WPTA calls with the “ALIVE” moniker and to remove the ABC Circle logo. Edited October 18, 2022 by T.L.

CLETVFan 367 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I would actually like to see some new graphics for WOIO. I think they are starting to get a bit stale. Plus, too much red.

evv_mlis 22 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 WFIE needs some tweaking to the graphics they introduced last year. It seems like someone tries to customize something in-house incorrectly and you wind up seeing the font change from its default to Arial. Maybe they even need a new set or a new building. They have such a small building and the last set upgrade was just putting in a video wall but keeping a lot of what they had (wood grain finishes).

I think the current issue with the Gray GFX is it feels way to flat. I know flat and clean is/was in..but some depth would help. If I had to take a guess of when WCSC will launch, I'm gonna guess right after the Super Bowl (even though they are a CBS Affiliate ) 4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17000-the-ever-evolving-gray-graphics-situationthread/page/34/#findComment-282691 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will also add they described it as being not only a great package for Gray standards but also compared to Nexstar, Sinclair etc in general. So, this is definitely something that's exciting. They also said it would be a complete package with a major overhaul on all the components; lower thirds, sports, weather etc as compared to what we've come to know of Gray graphics packages. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17000-the-ever-evolving-gray-graphics-situationthread/page/34/#findComment-283124 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdtv 13 Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 It’s the same package that WANF has. Eventually all Gray stations will be migrated to it once graphics hardware is upgraded over time. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17000-the-ever-evolving-gray-graphics-situationthread/page/34/#findComment-283125 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, I too heard from my source that they will be doing a hardware upgrade before they switch to the new graphics package.

ATLNewsExpert 455 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) Well on this mornings broadcast of 'The Fairbanks Morning News" on Fairbanks AK NBC affiliate KTVF, a new open debuted, though its a werid combo of the old graphics and the new ones. It looks even more bad with the bad quality of the morning broadcast, perhaps it'll look better tonight. Everything else seems to be the same, no new video panel graphic, lower thirds, or anything, but in the intro a new logo showed itself, but the old logo is still around for everything else, maybe more will come.

Axiom81 67 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) WCSC went live with what I am now calling the "WANF" set design, but no new graphics came with it. Possible delay in that piece...so no updates on the GFX portion. Sorry to disappoint but I was just as excited as everyone else was.

ATLNewsExpert 455 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Update on KTVF: Sister station KXDF has too debuted new graphics and a new logo with KTVF's branding, Newscenter. They've so far have debuted primarily only a new on-set graphic, they've seemed to have trouble with the intro with the new logo, it being just a still image and no music.

Axiom81 67 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 So I haven't lost my marbles yet. Looks like the new GFX package for Gray is coming in March and goes with hardware upgrades mentioned in earlier posts ..so a bit of a wait 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17000-the-ever-evolving-gray-graphics-situationthread/page/34/#findComment-283271 Share on other sites More sharing options...
