I’m getting ready to work at an CBS O&O KTVT 11 Dallas/ Fort Worth. They are preparing for these new graphics and from what I’m hearing a possible new set. I saw the weather graphics on facebook and YouTube looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkolsen 1680 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 All the weather graphics that launched are at stations that use TWC/WSI’s platform. WJZ and maybe KDKA still rely on Barron for their graphics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but the stations that are transitioning are all WSI - the templates are mostly already premade and aren't they easily pushed to stations? Where as WJZ would have to recreate it for Lynx? Also, I cannot stand that black and white ticker they use, nor the previous ticker CBS O&Os used. I much prefer the WJZ version and hope they dont screw it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like WSI, if CBS sends the elements and Style Guide to Baron, they can re-create it at their shop, zip it up and drop that style (with guide) into their system. Then all the met has to do is swap out the old stuff for the new stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But (off topic) could a hub create look, implement it and share it amongst sister stations or does WSI or Barron need to be involved? I heard that new templates had to be installed (or sent to the WSI box) by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that new templates had to be installed (or sent to the WSI box) by them. Depends. Either A) They could create a look and share it among stations provided they have the proper formats that both WSI and Baron use. HOWEVER: The weather team would have to build everything from scratch all over again (animations, frames, fonts, etc.) Or B) They can get WSI or Baron involved where they build everything in their shop, and send it to the respective stations where all they need to do is unzip it. I know one group, it was a little bit of both: Someone at the hub sent the design and style guide to Baron and WSI, they sent back the boxes/banners, etc. in the format they need, and they built it all there from the hub using the proper elements/style to send to their stations with their logo on it. If you were to watch a station out of this group, find one that uses Baron, and WSI, and the normal person couldn't tell a difference for the most part.

dkipcl 5 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) WBZ's 8pm newscasts on WSBK-38 now seem to be running as a relay of the online CBSN Boston feed, full with the CBSN graphics instead of WBZ. As an aside, I don't think that having 2 different brandings of news for the same team really makes sense, especially in a market where the calls and station identity is important. Edit: I've linked what the 8:30 open on WSBK looked like (standard CBSN open/graphics) https://youtu.be/iq7zAP-Yw1I Edited December 10, 2019 by darkki Added youtube link/example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually thought they would build a set in the newsroom like they did for CBSN LA and San Francisco... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosiahCubed 254 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 KDKA still has their temporary set that was used until the current set debuted in 2015. They still occasionally use it for Pittsburgh Today Live (PTL). So that gives me a feeling that it could be used for CBSN Pittsburgh when it launches next year.

Wow, it's been since 2015 since they got that new set? Tbh, it seems less than that. Maybe it's cause I like it so much that I don't want them to change it.

panewswatcher69 26 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 On yesterday's Pittsburgh Today Live (Tuesday, December 17th, 2019), KDKA is building a new set for Nightly Sports Call "Sports Bar" with a new and improved kitchen set for Pittsburgh Today Live to debut in early January 2020.

Georgie56 3176 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) They should really change the color of the gray maps. There have been a few times where I've mistaken it for cloud cover. Edited December 31, 2019 by Georgie56 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
