CLT-DCA-ORF-PTI 87 Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 Uh oh - Maybe finally WGHP will upgrade their "interesting" graphics also! See Brad Jones's Facebook Post
Al-SA-TX 54 Posted August 13, 2019 Posted August 13, 2019 The set debuted on Monday along with a new graphics package. They're also using Beyond.
CLT-DCA-ORF-PTI 87 Posted August 13, 2019 Author Posted August 13, 2019 Watching it over Livestream - Can't see much of the set, but the graphics, are pretty nice. It looks somewhat in-house. Definitely a nice upgrade.

CircleSeven 1960 Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 WGHP also switched to the Beyond music package.
NEOMatrix 1307 Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 Those fonts tho. I knew WGHP would eff up something! Other than that, good job!
tyrannical bastard 4028 Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 Set is pretty nice...sort of has an O&O vibe to it. Graphics are meh, but if WJW ends up with something like this, it would be a (slight) improvement. It's to be seen if Nexstar will make changes of their own post merger. but in WJW's case, it may be O&O friendly, especially if they are re-sold back to Fox.
jbnews 344 Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 Eh. The look is okay. Don't care for the graphics (that font, lol), LOVE Beyond-so I like that, and the set looks cold.
MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 947 Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 I LOVE the graphics package. This is what Tribune should've rolled out ( with varied differences between CBS/NBC/Fox/ABC)... This by far is my favorite package from Tribune
CLT-DCA-ORF-PTI 87 Posted August 14, 2019 Author Posted August 14, 2019 I love the new set also. I think it fits WGHP's Hometown feel. They have always been the local hometown station, and the set gives that vibe, IMO. The graphics, I agree with MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie. This is probably my favorite Tribune package!
ttvn2000 320 Posted August 15, 2019 Posted August 15, 2019 The set was fabricated locally - by the same company who did WGN’s set:
Ntropolis 598 Posted August 15, 2019 Posted August 15, 2019 That's a neat inside look at how a set is built. Pretty cool that it's made in NC... and in the furniture capital of the world nonetheless! That set is a little underwhelming though... reminds me of WVEC's set in 2011. It's a pretty 'safe' design though, so it works.
TSSZNews 1052 Posted August 15, 2019 Posted August 15, 2019 Given the other sets they've worked on (in particular PVI's) this feels a bit of a disappointment. The interview set is probably the nicest part of that set, but again, video walls are becoming really old, really fast, and the rest of this doesn't bring anything particularly interesting to the table in that regard.

atlnewsfan03 81 Posted August 18, 2019 Posted August 18, 2019 New WGHP set looks nice. It'll be interesting to see whether new WJW set will be by the same designers that did WGN, KDVR, and WGHP sets.

ABC 7 Denver 1729 Posted August 19, 2019 Posted August 19, 2019 That's terrible! The Tribune Fox package is so much nicer.
MikePulse 318 Posted August 19, 2019 Posted August 19, 2019 Love the new set, music is an improvement (as with all stations coming from OSI), NOT a fan of the slogan (just go back to The Piedmont News Channel and leave it).
susquvalleywgal 520 Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 Sorry to be against the tide … but I kinda like the new slogan. It's different. As for the graphics, they look like Nexstar WISH/WHTM package (L3's swipe transition) meets FOX News Channel. I'm sure the FOX News fans won't even see the difference. Oh, and what is the name for the new music package they have? Thanks. -- Matt

DesertNewsGeek 47 Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 "Start Local. Stay Local" sounds a lot better then "Loving Living Local" IMHO.
