MarkBRollins88_v2 340 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) I have confirmed that TEGNA will be rolling out a new graphics package for all of its stations in the near future. They are done and ready to go. It will happen soon. I haven’t seen what it looks like yet but have confirmed with sources in the know that this is happening. If anyone else has more info please share. Edited October 25, 2021 by MarkBRollins88_v2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone else has more info please share. Why are they doing this wouldn't you think it would've been revealed on the newer stations like WATN WTHR? But I did do research and if they stick with the 4 year cycle then you'd be right.

PTVNews 193 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 It's not a complete overhaul. Non-news junkies wouldn't immediately notice a difference. It's just an evolved look for some various graphic elements. I've already seen some of the "updated" look on KGW. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minor changes, but they're definitely improvements. Bigger elements, more depth, color gradients, and some updated animations. It isn't as flat as it was.

Other than that, it really does look better than the version before it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JosiahCubed 255 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Having watched videos on YouTube and NewsON, more of the Tegna stations have also received the updates over the past few months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djlynch 54 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Don't know if these rolled out at the same as the rest of the update, but I've noticed that some stations are using a different L3 for anchors/reporters with white on whatever accent color is being used for the rest of the graphics.

MidwestTV 1202 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Seems like The Tank or stations has been given some creative runway lately, but I don't understand why there need to be special supers just for talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbnews 344 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I am not a fan of the talent lower thirds. It’s like WSVN meets Tegna. I thought the whole point of these graphics were to NOT look like news. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think having separate L3's for anchors is the problem if it's done right. It's definitely the design in Tegna's case, as this is bordering on looking like KMSG's original set of overblown lower thirds. Hearst has used separate L3's for anchors since the first diagrid look, and they work very well. It also helps that they actually look decent. (They still do this with the current look, but it's been consolidated onto the same L3 background) Examples of separate L3's from the 2012 diagrid look: Regular L3: Anchor L3: Edited May 29, 2022 by kfc513 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if these are coming to other tegna stations They're optional, and from I hear, developed by WMAZ itself. Perplexingly, the weather package has been left alone by the graphics hub since the 2018 look came out. The only minor change was a refresh of some weather icons last year. Only the news (and maybe even sports) aspects of the Tegna standard pack have had any type of update. All of the recent weather design changes you've been seeing are from the stations themselves. WMAZ was simply very vocal about it. WMAZ, KSDK, WHAS, WCNC, even KWES are some examples of stations that modified their weather banners by themselves. Hell, KWES totally bucked the standard Tegna 7-Day for a more traditional one at least 18 months ago without a peep. Tegna seems to have relaxed quite a bit about rigid adherence to the look. Those new giant L3s from last year? Optional apparently. The only things that were really required were the new full screens and opens.

DENDude 197 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 (edited) Don't know if other Tegna NBC stations are doing this or not, but KUSA is copying the TODAY Show & NBC NIGHTLY NEWS, with a coutdown clock during the first commercial break during the10PM newscast. (It might also be on KTVD but have not watched the 9pm newscast.) They started this Monday 8/13/23..
