brandong 2 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 yeah I think it's 615 but I don't remember. I think it's Newsforce from KCAL 9. Graphics have Giant Octopus style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gulf_Broadcasting 0 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 wow! KTVT has really outdone themselves. They've moved ahead of KXAS now, in terms of the switch to HD. Now all that's left is KDFW, which i'm surprised they haven't done already. BTW, is it just me or do the new KTVT gfx remind anybody slight ly of the CBS Evening News?

That's exactly what I thought of when I saw them. The colors are very similar. I'd say they look better than the CBS Evening News though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caliwxdude 252 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I actually just saw a Live wipe and a weather franchise open that makes me think KTVT's graphics were done by VDO, not Giant Octopus. The wipe looks like it was inspired from the VDO-designed KCBS/KCAL high definition graphics package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasTVNews 1367 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I know it a little late, but It's finished. 4, 5, 6 & 10pm (KTVT) and 7-9pm (KTXA) newscast have been recorded. I'm a little surprised that they didn't do the talent open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFWTVNews30 0 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 KTVT have really outdone themselves in their new HD look. I'm impressed. I dont regularly watch CBS 11, normally 8 or 4 for me, but I might have to more often. NBC 5 has done a piss poor job with their HD conversion. I'm embarassed for them not only for their continued problems but for their continued crime ridden trashy tabloid newscasts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasTVNews 1367 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I give CBS11 KTVT a big fat 10! the set looks beautiful and the theme looks great. That new set reminds me of KWTV/Oklahoma City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdcnow 14 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I give CBS11 KTVT a big fat 10! the set looks beautiful and the theme looks great. That new set reminds me of KWTV/Oklahoma City. Oh yeah. They get an A from me, too. The new graphics are awesome. I think the L3 (while they may not be everyone's cup of tea) are a HUGE improvement. I'm glad they dropped Arial like a bad habbit and went to one of the Helvetica fonts. Now, in the right corner, I like the 11 and 21 logos, but maybe KTVT might could have had a little more pazaaz to the time/temp bug, but that's just me. The weather graphics look great, albeit a little iced over (the outline border), but still great. KTVT have really outdone themselves in their new HD look. I'm impressed. I don't regularly watch CBS 11, normally 8 or 4 for me, but I might have to more often. NBC 5 has done a piss poor job with their HD conversion.

CRAPPY! DFWTVNews30, you said it right: trashy. KXAS, is gunning for the bottom of the barrel in this market. Dare I say that I would consider (GASP!) KDAF a more respectable news operation than KXAS. Yes, I would go that far and say that. Harold Taft (KXAS's first and longtime chief met who passed on in the early 90s) must be rolling over in his grave right now, rest his soul, seeing the once-good station he used to work for just go to pot like it has. And that's my $0.02 ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasTVNews 1367 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I agree. Well, there only two stations left. KDFW and KDAF, who's next to go HD. 1. WFAA 2. KXAS 3. KTVT 4. ????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
