That's actually not out of the realm of possibility.
Georgie56 3661 Posted March 23 Posted March 23 (edited) The package has reached Scripps News. Edited March 24 by Georgie56 1
Encore 323 79 Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Now that this graphics and music package has reached the Scripps News channel, hopefully the rollout process will start to move a little faster to the rest of the local stations that have yet to receive it. 1
MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 1158 Posted March 28 Posted March 28 I'm thinking KNXV is next. I noticed on Wednesday on their website that more sections have the new graphics backgrounds. I also asked Met. Jorge Torres and his response seems promising. 1

Had a feeling this was coming seeing promos using this graphics template on Oscar night a few weeks back & perfect timing too with the NCAA Women's Final Four in Phoenix this weekend & ABC airing the Nat'l Championship game on Easter Sunday. Unlike the graphics change at another ABC affiliate in the host city of the Men's Final Four, WRTV (Indianapolis), because of the dumbness of CCB to gut out everything Scripps had there, this change is a welcome one. Also, who would've thunk it that we'd get this before Gray One for Arizona's Family KPHO (CBS)/KTVK, which is crazy IMO with seemingly most every other Gray station on it, you'd think with us now perhaps the biggest market they got with a Big 4 affiliation with WANF in Atlanta bolting CBS last year, they'd update 3TV/CBS5 ASAP, not to mention in-state sister station KOLD (CBS/Tucson) has Gray One.

Not to mention that since Phoenix is in the Top 15 market wise, I would've thought it would've followed WANF sooner rather than later... Unless they have something up their sleeves that we don't know about...
DJonNews 104 Posted April 27 Posted April 27 WTKR, I'm sure, will get the new graphics soon. If I remember correctly, they've begun phasing it in for a short promo or two.

KJRH has been running promos for two months and hasn’t swapped yet when I asked they said it was coming but didn’t have a definitive date as to when it would be done. So don’t get hopes up on WTKR getting them right away. 1
MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 1158 Posted April 29 Posted April 29 WXMI has switched as of this evening 1

MeAndTheGraphics 16 Posted May 7 Posted May 7 (edited) I'm guessing WTVR will be the next station to get the new graphics, or will it just go in a random order? Edited May 7 by MeAndTheGraphics 1

Probably random, I mean here in AZ, KNXV/Phoenix got the new graphics package last month, but KGUN/Tucson is still on the old Scripps graphics.
Denver Murray 15 Posted May 21 Posted May 21 WTVR-TV Richmond has the new look as of today. Looks fantastic! 1

Yes, their implementation is wonderful with their sweeping camera angles and even a talent rejoin graphic in the 6pm newscast featuring Bill Fitzgerald, GeNienne Samuels, chief meteorologist Zach Daniel and sports director Lane Casadonte. WTVR is the only station so far with the new music and graphics that features the talent in the rejoin.

TheRolyPoly 3510 Posted May 22 Posted May 22 3 hours ago, Archiva said: Yeah, it is a very nice addition. Now this is what I call unique and innovative. Showcasing the personalities of these talents, what an awesome way of displaying it. Bill and Zach on bikes, Genienne as an in-game host of the Commanders, and Lane hanging out with Charles Barkley and his wife, former WTVR anchor Deborah Cox. IMHO, this is so cool. I don't know why other Scripps stations with these new graphics haven't implemented something like this. 3
FiveNews 481 Posted May 22 Posted May 22 Looks like they took a page out of the ABC O&O talent opens. KFSN and KABC do a good job of showcasing talent personalities in the talent opens.

I don't know why other Scripps stations with these new graphics haven't implemented something like this. This is the talent rejoin graphics for CBS 6 This Morning featuring Reba Hollingsworth, Rob Cardwell, meteorologist Tom Patton, and traffic anchor Kirsten Luehrs. It’s refreshing to see stuff like this for a change compared to the mostly generic vibe of the other stations with this package. Edited May 22 by Encore 323

Because many of the stations are the "Neighborhood Reporter" format and they are constantly displaying their pictures and names before each story, so that would be overkill.

I don't know why other Scripps stations with these new graphics haven't implemented something like this. KGTV (ABC 10 San Diego) might do this when they get the new music/graphics because they have been leaning into the talent open/rejoin stuff over the last year or so but we will see.
