tyrannical bastard 3962 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 The Mahoning Valley's only locally owned TV station, has refreshed their look slightly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWg9LAr0XBs Gone is the old 90s era animated 3D peacock background , in favor of the flatter, drop-shadowed variety more visible in the modern NBC look. It's a much more refined look, and is probably the best WFMJ has looked since the mid 1990s! The set remains though. And they are yet another station that has picked up Stephen Arnold's 'Guardian". Probably only because WKBN is sticking with 615's "Impact". And unlike the last look, the lower third's don't use Arial!!!!

Tyler 151 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 The Valleys Watchdog? That looks like a security system logo. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/19174-wfmj-new-look/#findComment-277699 Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlnews2 591 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Looks similar to the KRGV graphics Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/19174-wfmj-new-look/#findComment-277702 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannical bastard 3962 Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 It's got to be some syndicated package. Like WFMJ, KRGV is part of a smaller company (who also owns WBRZ in Baton Rouge). Since TV is dominated by corporate packages anymore, any idea who could have designed this?

I've been watching recent newscasts and I haven't seen that. They may have had second thoughts on it too.

She designed the KRGV look and the previous WFMJ look.

KRGV: https://ruthdial.com/project#krgv WFMJ: https://ruthdial.com/project#wfmj The prior WFMJ look was a good look as well, WFMJ just never properly implemented the lower thirds (using Arial instead of the correct font). The logo itself was an improvement over the abomination they had since 2000-01.
