DonDonP1 118 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 OK, Q13 Fox updated its website. Unclear on when its new on-air graphics and music would debut. Yes, the Fox Corporation is keeping the Q13 branding alive and well. I am cool with whether or not Fox would revert the station's newscast title from Q13 News to Q13 Fox News. Whether KZJO would be rebranded as Q13 Plus, that is unclear as well. https://www.q13fox.com/ Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17854-kcpq-switching-to-oo-look/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven 1955 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Watched the livestream. And there's no new graphics on the 4:30am-cast this morning. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17854-kcpq-switching-to-oo-look/#findComment-247145 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner 216 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Not quite debuting on 4:30AM today so it seems the new graphics and open will probably premiere after the early morning newscast. Also, WITI's app store listing below should give clues as to its new branding. The 6's font will remain, and "FOX" won't be housed in the red box, at least in the example picture in the listing (as opposed to the app's icon). As an aside, since Fox doesn't seem to infringe much on stations' established local branding (such as with KTVU), I don't think they'll be changing "FOX6 WakeUp News" to "Good Day Milwaukee" or something of that nature. But at least they already use "Beyond," so there isn't as much to change.

Q13 Fox has not launched its midday newscasts, yet. It might in the fall and would air at 11 a.m. rather than Noon. Maybe the change in on-air graphics and music would happen in time for either the News at 4 or the News at 5 or the two-hour primetime news on Joe TV. UPDATE: The change may happen at either 8 or 9 p.m. on Joe TV or 10 or 11 p.m. on Q13 Fox.

WJZY switched to the same graphics that KCPQ is switching to (despite being the station FTS gave up, along with their sister WMYT, to get Seattle and Milwaukee) the day after MLK day on their 5:00 news, before the trade went through. So it could be then. Then again they don’t have a noon news. EDIT: Actually I see that KCPQ doesn’t have noon news either. So it will probably be on the 4 or 5:00 news.

It'll probably come in fall and become Fox 13 Plus so they don't have to burn money/labor on promos that'll be useless by September; there's no way they're keeping that embarrassing branding (sane-era Tribune only kept it because KZJO is so lowly-rated that it would've been pointless to rebrand as they tried to keep Fox happy with KCPQ).

Weeters 1918 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Like this post if you're old enough to remember the WITI MyFox site being covered in the "kitebox" logo that was never once used on-air. Is there anything besides the website update that is leading people to believe KCPQ is launching new graphics today?

C Block 1566 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 The web systems are often usually the easiest things to flip when it comes to station sales. The thing that might be rough for some of these ex-Tribune stations will be switching off whatever homebrew newsroom software they had and going back to iNEWS. Not sure what graphics platform they were using, but Fox is standardized on Chyron. And of course covid throws a wrench into a lot of that I can imagine.

I have no idea what the relevancy is tbh, but the streaming loop is now within the F( 0 )X standard. Interestingly the domain Q13Fox.com directs to the new website. The domain Q13.com still (redirects) as an alias to the old website, tribkcpq.wordpress.com, which is still live! So, to the Fox Executives watching this thread, kill this. I am sad Q13 is changing it's look, but it's not inline with your ridiculous brand. Also, quick note: The former KWGN word-press site still exists! https://localtvkwgn.wordpress.com/ I really would appreciate it if Byron Grandby brought back the separate website.

Well, the morning newscast kept the Wake-Up News title throughout WITI's first run under Fox Television Stations, so... of course, it's gonna stick around. That should be a given.

Also, KTVU is the only Fox O&O that does not change its URL; its URL--ktvu.com--mentions the call sign as opposed to its station branding. KTVU is also the only Fox O&O to has the callsign and the Fox name in its general and news brandings.

C Block 1566 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 It looks like all they did was switch over their website and webstream to Anvato along with a new livestream slate.

newstime 39 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Too bad Q13 has to switch to new graphics. IMHO, the current Trib graphics are one of the best-looking graphics packages.

Nelson R. 569 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Probably should include WITI in this thread since they also were acquired by FTS in the same deal. So far I don’t think they have switched their graphics or website.
