TheRob 937 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Don't get me started on Nexstar asking stations to use the Nexstar election package, no matter how much it clashes with the regular graphics.

Should KFOR migrate to the Nexstar NBC graphics, it would match their "neighbors" KFDX, KAMR, KSNW, KSNF, KNWA, and KTAL, all use the Nexstar NBC package.

For what it's worth, WXIN's graphics are about 80% transitioned to the new package. The Ticker and some of the transition graphics are still the old ones.

MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 915 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I honestly like the Nexstar CBS package better.... The Tribune CBS pacakge just didn't do it for me... They had elements that looked like word art from old MS Word days Did they update the FOX package?? The weather graphics are very different than other Nexstar FOX pacakges Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17429-tribune-nexstarization/page/8/#findComment-242333 Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand it, there is no creative director currently at WXIN/WTTV--so this may have been mandated from corporate.

TheRyan 560 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Normally I really like the Nexstar CBS pkg and Fox pkg. But I'm not really liking the way WTTV implemented the CBS gfx. Honestly they looked better with the previous pkg... The Fox gfx on WXIN is pretty good.

The CBS Package, while a step up from the old Look N, has some faults. Namely, it's incredibly basic, and if you don't use them exactly as they were intended, they have a tendency to look quite bland or just plain awkward. With their FOX/NBC/Generic (WISH) package, they seem to have more moving parts that can be adjusted to fit the situation. I've always wondered if the CBS Package was their first strike at eliminating safe title, and they just threw it into the wild without fine-tuning some of its other elements.

Frankly, they could have made the Nexstar ticker and bug work if they used the font associated with their current package (whatever that is, I don’t know if it’s Karibu or something else; there are a few fonts that look similar to it). It just didn’t look right with Lato, especially how the bug was set with that font. The time, temperature and website/hashtag weren’t spaced well, when compared to the normal graphic-set font. As far as the Nexstar Fox and CBS graphics, I think they would look better in larger markets like Indianapolis and St. Louis if they replaced Lato with something like Barlow (the font used for the WISH package on all stations that have implemented that package) and maybe made modifications to the L3s and OTS graphics (either layout or coloring).

I imagine KFOR is probably redoing the time/temp bug/website to create more space for those 3. When it first rolled out, while I was glad they made the bug smaller and to fit with the L3rds, however they made the time, temperature bug and website not only in a bit of a strange font but a bit too small as well. I imagine Nexstar is correcting that problem and will have it fixed as soon as possible.

Technically A Director 164 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I wonder, perhaps the revert wasn't intentional? That looks like a closings ticker, which (if it's anything like our station), is run by a different system and is at the very bottom of the list during a graphics update At any rate, they should take the time to 100% tailor a current Nexstar package to KFOR (Think WISH or WKRN) before they roll it out. I've never understood replacing a look piece by piece unless they're marginal updates, and KFOR deserves one seamless roll-out.

KFOR did revert back to the modified bug and Nexstar ticker this morning (Wednesday).
