WYFXFox35 0 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 WAGT went the route of WFMJ and went Giant Octopus on their graphics. They actually look good as compared to the old WCNC/MSNBC intro. They still have the old NBC 26 bug but that must be later on. WRDW changed their music to In Sink and gave up Metropolis WJBF has the Media General music, only heard it on the radio on 87.7. Could be better I think. They should've stuck with News Matrix, but that's me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightJunkie 55 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 oh boy, another branding change! 2003-2006 26 Action News - WAGT News - NBC 26 News - NBC Augusta News if you do the math, that's a new name for the news department every 9 months. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightJunkie 55 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 WAGT's new identity was revealed quietly earlier during tonight's Conan. The newscasts haven't yet switched over to the GO graphics package yet; I'm assuming they're waiting for February sweeps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clevelandtvnews 0 Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Yup, that's definitely the syndicated WDTN/WFMJ/WHEC/KXAN/etc. Giant Octopus package. Even though it's syndicated, it's one of the better packages GO has put out, IMHO. (Compared to WFMJ's old graphics, they were a godsend.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightJunkie 55 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 WAGT's been previewing their new graphics slowly over the last two weeks phasing out the "old" TVBD package elements and working in the new GO graphics. It's sort of disappointing, because I much prefer one big change over slow and gradual tweaks. The graphics, however, look great and the choice of cuts from "The Rock" are quite fantastic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQFMHCiMz2g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whammypower788 11 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 The graphics, however, look great and the choice of cuts from "The Rock" are quite fantastic. I agree with you there. I don't think there could be anything better about that. Now why can't WGBA be like that? Oh, wait... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightJunkie 55 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 [more video] here's an example of the graphics and music cut changes (fantastic) for "NBC Augusta Morning News". Not yet fully converted to the GO graphics package yet, but there's a promo/community service message for airline travel in the middle after the weather open showing what they will look look like soon. My personal favorite cut of "the rock" package is the one WAGT is currently using for their weather stingers. Sorry, there was only one good franchise open I could capture; "new information" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0icsflClyY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightJunkie 55 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 ...because they don't know how to unveil a graphics package all at once. They go at a snail's pace in weekly phases and drag it out painfully. They just changed the bug to an "NBC Augusta" version a few days ago, and all that's left are the lower thirds and OTS's.
