WXIN Fox 59 New Graphics

[MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 955]

Nexstar's WXIN debuted a new graphics package at 4PM.. Gotta say it looks quite spiffy.  Hope this rolls out to more of their Fox stations... Here's a few snippits (Most are the weather)... There's a video on YouTube, but it's from a channel that is banned on here... Also, CBS4 has the new weather graphics, but still has the Nexstar CBS graphics

Really good looking set! Nearly thought it was Tegna based on the quality. But in all fairness Nexstar does have some good looking stations.

Was gonna bring up the YT video, but I'll mention it here, if you see the graphics open, anyone who isn't like us into this kinda stuff, you'd think these would be the kinda graphics for a newscast from a FOX O&O especially with the way the FOX logo is shown on screen towards the end of the titles. Also, WXIN kinda being a bit of a copycat with the time/temp/station bug graphics to TEGNA which has a station there in WTHR (NBC).

Here are a couple of the opens:

…and I get what @NYCshorty said, the graphics and open style would fit as a Fox O&O package, as components of it blend better with the network’s current graphics style than the actual O&O package does.

Thanks for posting.. I couldn't get my program to work to grab them

(sarcastic) Wait, did Gray buy WXIN? Because those opens and supers are Gray One wearing a bad disguise. (end sarcasm) 

 

The Nexstar election supers not matching the height or placement of the bug is just sloppy and, in theory, preventable.

I mean, this is what the Scripps package should be and what the Fox O&Os should be using too. Granted I don't like the modern flat era at all, but this makes it palatable.

Nextar and Tribune before them have always had good Fox looks. This continues the trend.

[C Block 1573]

It looks fine. I suppose it's better than the current standard Nexstar Fox graphics. I don't think I'd say this is better than the O&O BNF graphics.

[MediaZone4K 2285]

I'd go as far to say looks better than Market 1 WPIX, and outside of Nexstar this looks way better than WABC. 

[Yankees4life 563]

This looks pretty good. Nice upgrade. I wonder if other FOX stations will have it

I look forward to KSWB getting them, they are in dire need of graphics overhaul. Unfortunately, I feel like they will be waiting until their new facilities are done.

 

A little off topic, but I have noticed some tweaks to the KUSI graphics since they moved into the KSWB building, like the adoption of the ticker and L3 animations.

I noticed Jim Cutler has been dropped again for V/O.  He was the V/O over guy for several years in the 1990s through the mid 2000s, I think, then he was brought back again a few years ago.

These would look great for WDAF in Kansas City as well.. The Tribune graphics just don't work....

Ironically, prior forms of this package predated GrayOne, so Gray created GrayOne after Nexstar's use of it.

 

I'd say it would look good on WJW, but with WOIO and WUAB going GrayOne one day....

 

Nexstar needs some new packages for their stations.  The WDCW one is awful and the others are starting to show their age...

"Central Indiana's first source for news"... is this true, or just what they say?  Are Fox stations often the #1 news in an area?  I find that to be an interesting claim.

It's ultimately just a slogan. Many last place stations will claim they're the "first source" or "most trusted source" or whatever.

According to next TV Fox 59 is the first place in Indianapolis. It is unusual for a Fox station to be #1,  but looking at Miami, WSVN was market leader for years.

A lot of Fox stations are #1 in their markets… what are you talking about?

If you scroll up you would have read the post (that I just tagged below) which questioned if it is typical for Fox stations to be #1 in their markets.

 

A wide assumption is that ABC NBC and CBS stations are often (not always) the top three in their markets.

 

I basically responded to the poster by saying though it goes against conventional assumptions, there are examples such as in Miami where the Fox station is number one.

There are several, and most of them are former CBS affiliates who switched to Fox during the 90's big affiliation swaps.

[Horizon 275]

Fox Kansas City (WDAF) has switched to the graphics that was first debuted by Fox Indianapolis (WXIN) last year.

Mornings, with ticker

 

 

[mouseboy33 109]

The package is ok-ish. I feels juddery to me. I like it better than the FOX O&O graphics. Over all... just as boring.

[MidwestTV 1263]

Glad they kept the music.
