WSAZ getting new graphics

[Dakota Laughlin 28]

I've talked to a few of the meteorologists at WSAZ and they have said that new graphics for the news and weather are coming in the next few weeks, I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts and ideas on this!

What's there to discuss? As a part of Gray, they'll get the same graphics that everyone in the group has, and there's already a discussion for that.

WSAZ is a market leader and they tend to do a lot of things in-house, just thought I would see what package people think they'll get/go with or what they would like to see.

Here's their current news and weather graphics, from what I've talked to Meteorologist Brandon Butcher, a big change is coming with the new graphics.

They are getting the standard Gray package. It’s the same package as WXIX. I seen a promo that showed the new graphics. 

[Dakota Laughlin 28]

Any idea where you might have saw it? Kinda disappointed if that is true, I'm not a fan of the graphics package.

 

Of course no matter what package they get, they can always design it some theirselves correct?

WAVE-3 did the same, but ended up getting a gray package. Sort of. I haven't seen the Gray weather package yet for WAVE 3. Bring it on for WKYT and WYMT. 

[Dakota Laughlin 28]

WAVE 3 did a pretty good job with there's, hoping WSAZ does a good job as well.

Saw this new promo on their Midday broadcast today, maybe this is some of the new look, not terrible looking IMO.

Looks like a lot of standard Gray elements based on the logo/time/temp bug- Same one that KVLY got last month.

[Dakota Laughlin 28]

The time/temp bug is the same one they've used for awhile not sure if they'll change it, and they haven't switched their graphics yet just that one promo so far, hoping they don't butcher it.

The bug got revamped back at the end of August. They removed the HD out of it and also moved the bug out of the 4x3 safe area.The last picture of the bug with time temp on bottom was only used once.

[Dakota Laughlin 28]

Oh okay I forgot they did change it up some. Since you keep up with WSAZ also do you think they'll come up with something good? From what I'm hearing, early March is what they're aiming for.

 

And it's awesome you caught that bottom one that was used one time!

[Dakota Laughlin 28]

Noticed this in the background during a weather update on WSAZ'S app earlier, possibly what a tiny bit of the weather graphics will look like? If so I like the theme, staying with the same color styles as the old weather graphics, blue and some yellow.

This probably could have been lumped in with the other Gray thread. There's nothing special about this station that warrants a whole discussion.

[Dakota Laughlin 28]

Word is WSAZ will be debuting their new graphics at there First Look @4 newscast today!

[Briella 234]

And it'll be the same bland job the other stations got. Again, this doesn't need it's own thread. Moving on...
