WFTV is using the same branding and an alternate version of the graphics on WSOC. Sure seems like it at this point! Glad they are trying something new. Maybe Apollo is the next group to really jump on the TV news innovation bandwagon.

Viper550 291 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Those WSB graphics are giving me a real sports vibe for some reason.

susquvalleywgal 517 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 If TENGA and PBS had children ... it would be this package. And that's not a bad thing either! But ... Why only 11p? Send this to WPXI in Pittsburgh. Lord knows they need a REDESIGN.

Sendir 194 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 So. When Coronavirus starts becoming the second story in the lineup of your rundown, when do you awkwardly go back to your old format? Or do they rebrand completely? Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17002-wsb-tv-debuts-a-new-open/page/4/#findComment-244150 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TresGriffin 139 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Giving this thread a bump. I think it's safe to say that WSB needs a graphics overhaul ASAP. For a station that has newscasts that dominate the local ratings in a market as large Atlanta and the vicinity, the graphics on Channel 2 have become an un-cohesive mess. For starters, the "main" graphics package is using a design language that dates back to 2010, with a refresh in 2015. Then they have weather graphics which don't match the design language of main package, so when the lower third is on the screen while Glenn Burns or Brad Nitz or whoever is doing the weather, graphically, it looks like two completely different looks are going on at the same time. And then the graphics they've been using in promos lately have been better than what you see on the actual newscasts. I'm just ready for them to push the reset button and give WSB a whole fresh new look. Part of me wonders if they're holding out for Cox to possibly jump on the standardization bandwagon...

There are quite a few cox stations that are in major need of a graphics update. KOKI has been using their current graphics since 2013. 2013!!!! It’s been EIGHT YEARS.

newsman123 114 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 The cox stations are all a mess right now, including wsb. Staff cuts, pay cuts, positions not filled. Bad management, where there was once strong veteran bosses. WSB is still number one, but slipping. They need a whole refresh. Some anchor changes, reporter shakeups, new look etc. WGCL made some mistakes in letting some really good people go. But they are the rising station.

CLT-DCA-ORF-PTI 87 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 WSOC “refreshed” their 2012 package last year with new L3s. They have been open-less since 2019.
