jestbiteme 13 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I already started a thread about this in the Graphics forum, but if it's any station, it's WZZM: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HQtnXzf4sM Just WZZM? Because those lowers are definitely the same. And what the hell?

WXmanTim 88 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 *bangs head against the wall* Why do they have two different on-screen logos?? Was it to much money to create a new "On Target Weather" logo to go with the new graphics? Bush league, man, bush league.

sg9018 10 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 KXTV just got the new graphics.

swillh2k2 203 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Hmm...it looks like Gannett is going with a custom music and GFX package for its stations, like H/A and MG...

Que 73 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Hmm...it looks like Gannett is going with a custom music and GFX package for its stations, like H/A and MG... Where have you been? Overall I think it looks good. But I think it is too over the top for some of Gannett's stations.

swillh2k2 203 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I knew about the GFX part, but I didn't know that the theme would be used on multiple Gannett stations until watching the KXTV video...

Mrtraveler01 738 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I just can't picture KSDK with these. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/4237-gannett-gx-changes/page/2/#findComment-41991 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess 1115 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Music - probably done by Pyburn partner James Ryan at Rampage Music - is extremely awful. I don't really see how this can be used across the light, touchy-feely stations like KARE...

TSSZNews 1052 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I think KXTV pulls it off a lot better than WZZM does. -T Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/4237-gannett-gx-changes/page/2/#findComment-42029 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjohnson 17 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 These would be a huge step backward for KSDK. Although none of the stations that have these are HD. This will make KPLR's graphics look good... Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/4237-gannett-gx-changes/page/2/#findComment-42033 Share on other sites More sharing options...

alaskanews 113 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I guess this means KUSA is dumping their custom music package they've had for years, and I believe just had remastered.

evwalker09 2 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 WUSA is launching their new look @ 5 today. I captured a 5pm tease and it appears they are using the blue version of the graphics. Attached is a screenshot of their 7 day forecast on their website. Ill post the open later on.

Attached is a screenshot of their 7 day forecast on their website. Ill post the open later on. I think that's what WKYC will use. They're still using their in-house amber rotator graphics. I have no clue when they're making the switch (could be today, for all I know), though they tend to do changes (such as sponsors) on Mondays. What I have seen of the graphics change has only been online in 'KYC's case. See the attachments...

TennTV1983 804 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Yuck. So Gannett has commissioned a standardized music package for its stations as well? Why couldn't they have gone the route of Belo instead of the route of H-A and Media General?

abric 181 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Add WLTX to the changes. They are using the red graphics, but in the videos they are still using their current logo and it sticks out like a sore thumb.
