Ntropolis 599 Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Take a look at the website... http://www.witntv.com/ The 6pm A-block from Sunday night doesn't show anything new, but I sense change coming. If you've never seen WITN, you don't know what the extra exclamation and question marks in the subject line really mean.
Ntropolis 599 Posted August 28, 2007 Author Posted August 28, 2007 Looks like they debuted. I pulled in WITN this morning and got a couple caps... I wish I could have gotten more. Also note the new backdrop on the set (that's only the Greenville studio set... the Washington one got one too but I haven't seen it). Music was still Advantage listening to one of the bumpers during the morning newscast, though that can change.
susquvalleywgal 521 Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 WITN, welcome to the 21st century! -- Matt
Ntropolis 599 Posted August 28, 2007 Author Posted August 28, 2007 Looks like this "makeover" wasn't as big as I thought it was... http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=393419&page=131
jbrothers 1 Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 Welcome to the 21st century, but not 2007. More like 2001.

KFOR & WITN aren't owned by the same people.

KFOR & WITN aren't owned by the same people. It was a syndicated (NBC or CNN?) report where the guy was using KFOR's studio.

Vlad 333 Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 They look great! But would look even better if they were in HD. Its a bit like WABC with the tab like designs, but several times better of course, lol.
Ntropolis 599 Posted August 30, 2007 Author Posted August 30, 2007 Saw yesterday's 6pm A-block on the website... same open. Phasing in the new look in parts, I guess?

It's about time they got rid of that archaic set and GFX that last looked decent in about 1996.
newsie 11 Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Those are actually pretty good for 2001 standards. It is nice that WITN got a makeover though.
jdcnow 14 Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Welcome to the 21st century, but not 2007. More like 2001. When it comes to stations who NEVER change their graphics (like WITN), I believe we'll take it where we can get it.
Ntropolis 599 Posted September 6, 2007 Author Posted September 6, 2007 Finally... a new open and voiceover! http://www.witntv.com/: go to the video player, look for the 6pm newscast. It's not bad, but I wish they would dump the music package (Advantage) or use more updated cuts of it.
jdcnow 14 Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 I believe we'll take it where we can get it. Pun intended? Of course! ;D
KnoxvilleTVFan 286 Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Sorry to be replying to a thread but WITN is now using 360 by Your Brain on Music. Go to WITN.com and click on "WITN 6PM News For Monday, October 15".
