jdcnow 14 Posted January 7, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKyuubi 0 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 TRIPLE-ugh. Those make WIVB look like they spent a million dollars on their graphics budget! Also lol, STOCK BACKGROUNDS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ntropolis 593 Posted January 7, 2008 Share 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] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

jerseyfla 196 Posted January 15, 2008 Share 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 Share 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.

sctvhound 27 Posted January 20, 2008 Share 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 Share 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] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Que 73 Posted February 15, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blargh 2 Posted February 20, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrannical bastard 3471 Posted March 9, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
