jdcnow 14 Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 That (7)NewsDesk logo at :57 makes them look like a poor-man's WHDH (like from back in the 90s). [YT]7a50_X80hAc[/YT] Observation: Somebody needs to take this station in as a charity case, GO, Hothaus, I don't care who, just somebody. Case-in-point: That Top Stories slate at 1:03. I've seen my nephews do better with blank paper and crayon. Just calling it like I see it.
KKyuubi 0 Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 TRIPLE-ugh. Those make WIVB look like they spent a million dollars on their graphics budget! Also lol, STOCK BACKGROUNDS!
Ntropolis 600 Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 Oh it could get much worse....this is market 149 people. It isn't THAT bad. Yes, like this: [YT]gl48-7YRKrA[/YT]
TennTV1983 811 Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 True, but that's nothing compared to KIEM's stuff: [yt]OBW3eCADKuA[/yt]

Dave Lampstein 135 Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 Honestly, I think some of these are remnants from the old WSVN newsplex...
WXmanTim 88 Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 True, but that's nothing compared to KIEM's stuff: [yt]OBW3eCADKuA[/yt] Just wow...it's like a timewarp man. If you go to their website, they have their nightly 6:00pm broadcast posted. It's bad, just bad. Whomever their Technical Director is doesn't know what the hell he or she is doing either. Talent should always place their mic on the lapel or side closest to the other talent, in case one of the mics goes out, the other can cover until a replacement is made.
SydWHunte AKA swillh2k2 0 Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 Yes, like this: [yt]gl48-7YRKrA[/yt] Give WITN credit...they finally realized that it is the 21st century.
Ntropolis 600 Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Give WITN credit...they finally realized that it is the 21st century. Absolutely... WITN looks SO much better now.
ib-td 1 Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 You have got to see WLUC in MI. That is small market news. - Don't do it after eating.
jerseyfla 207 Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 KSWO has not changed graphics, music, or anything since I went to Air Force Tech School at Sheppard AFB in Wichita Falls in Fall 2000. It feels like deja vu. I have to give my props to the other stations in the market KAUZ and KFDX because they've kept up with the times even if it means stealing two logos from bigger market stations at once (KAUZ).
The Offspringkid 0 Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Well, I gotta say, I live in market 114, Augusta, GA. Our local stations are really keeping up with the times, I won't be surprised if WAGT or WJBF soon makes an HD announcement, especially WJBF being a Media General station and all.

I have a friend at KSWO...they all just have better faith in the fine folks in-house, for better, or for worse. -T
sctvhound 27 Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Our market, market 100, Charleston, also is up and coming, and I won't be surprised if WCBD announces HD soon, and WCSC got graphics resembling a large market a month or so ago.
Blargh 2 Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 An example of WLNE's shitty new graphics. Word-Art, bad colors, mass firings, oh my! Their graphics were much better in 1998! [YT]r4e5s0KbgOc[/YT]

DMA 136 Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 That's not too horrible. It certainly beats WABC.
Blargh 2 Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 It's terrible compared to what they had before.
Que 73 Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 Timeout.... That's good? Agreed. I like the new stuff. I don't see how this is really a step down.
Blargh 2 Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 It's better than what they have now. What they have now would be GO-esque in a podunk town, but it doesn't hold up in the face of WJAR and WPRI's superior graphics. The old ones didn't take up as much space on screen and looked less cheap-Regis and Kelly-ripoff, more small-news-operation.
sctvhound 27 Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Sorry I had to bring this up after two dormant weeks, but this is KSWO's 10PM weekend open. More cheapness.
FirstNews8 13 Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 Sorry I had to bring this up after two dormant weeks, but this is KSWO's 10PM weekend open. More cheapness. What i hate is that the full screen graphics are still, no motion in them or nothing, anyways, the graphics suck alot....
tyrannical bastard 4084 Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 Sorry I had to bring this up after two dormant weeks, but this is KSWO's 10PM weekend open. More cheapness. IMHO, Digital Juice graphics should NEVER be used as a station's image!!! The occasional element or two is ok. The way these things are sold and the number of stations that use them really cheapens the product. If a rival station has it, they could just as well use the same backdrop for Billy Bob's Used Cars Super Sale commercial (for example). I believe WMFD in Mansfield, Ohio still uses the same jumpback as in this KSWO clip.
