sctvhound 27 Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Here is WFMY's open for the new crappy theme.
Weeters 1981 Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 WFMY's version of the graphics is much nicer than the others. But that theme makes me want to gouge out my ears. Even WDJT's theme is better than this piece of crap.
CircleSeven 1963 Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 I guess all of the CBS Gannetts are covered. If you click on today's weather break on 13WMAZ video site, they have the blue graphics. All it's left are the 12 G's NBC affils and WJXX.

Jess 1115 Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Maybe this means there's an NBC version of the music and gfx? I mean, Pyburn and Rampage have done extensive work for NBC, so it's not out of the question at all I think..
rhombics447 1 Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Or better yet - keep the music they currently have (that's what I'm hoping for).

I mean, Pyburn and Rampage have done extensive work for NBC, so it's not out of the question at all I think.. Yeah, I was thinking that same way. If an NBC version is in the works (and it's just an if because we haven't seen it yet), I don't see the consolidated First Coast News would be using it because of the ABC counterpart (WJXX 25). They would have to use the Generic Version (I hope they pick the blue graphics). I'll be more happy when the drop that Eurostyle font for those lower thirds. The font for the FCN logo is alright. Or better yet - keep the music they currently have (that's what I'm hoping for). We can wish, we can hope and we can pray, but it seems inevitable at this point.
rhombics447 1 Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 WKYC has new blue sidebars this morning with the text "High Definition." All of the other graphics and music haven't changed. This is a change from their gray "HD" sidebars. Could change come as soon as today? If so, probably at 6 PM. We shall see. Added: There are some times where they're using their old sidebars, such as with video from the traffic helicopter and some of their older video.
rhombics447 1 Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 I was able to capture a screen shot (using my camera) of the new sidebars. Sorry that it's at an angle. The rest of their graphics were the same. The sidebars are not animated. UPDATE: WKYC's switch will be happening very soon. A recent post on the Director's Cut Blog can confirm this. Feeling blue? We are too. The new graphics, as predicted, will be blue. Either tonight at 11 or tomorrow is my official guess.
rhombics447 1 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 WKYC will be switching to the new, blue graphics tonight. Here is their new 5 Day forecast:
CircleSeven 1963 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Add KPNX 12 to the blue list. It's on today's I-Cast on their vid page. EDIT: On WKYC's Website, there appears to be pics from their midday newscast with the new blue graphics.
swillh2k2 206 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Hmm...guessing WGRZ isn't far behind then...
rhombics447 1 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Add KPNX 12 to the blue list. It's on today's I-Cast on their vid page. EDIT: On WKYC's Website, there appears to be pics from their midday newscast with the new blue graphics. Yes, sorry, the change did occur at 12 noon today. I missed it, but I'll be watching at 6.
kjohnson 17 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 That one screenshot looks good. Definitely the best so far.
sg9018 10 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 WKYC has the best verson of this graphics so far. I think I like this new look better than there old one.

sg9018 10 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 It's [ yt ] [ /yt ]. [yt]6BpxOmBlX5k[/yt] Thanks CircleSeven. This was my 1st time of me posting a Youtube video like that on this website. Here is the 6pm open [yt]kQNRqjmcuqk[/yt]
rhombics447 1 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 I must say that WKYC has done a, dare I say it, very good job switching to the new graphics. It will take a while for it all to grow on me, though. But that was the same case with the amber rotators.
puck2008 0 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 I must admit, it all seems to fit for WKYC... What I'm worried about now is WXIA...
RGSJenkins 435 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 I must admit, it all seems to fit for WKYC... What I'm worried about now is WXIA... ...and WCSH/WLBZ.
CircleSeven 1963 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 With 10 stations so far, the Blue is winning by 2. I'm also worried about the Two Maine stations, as well.
RGSJenkins 435 Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 This what the Gannett stations had to give up as their primary theme. KARE: KARE 11 News Package [Third Street] (1996)[got new graphics, kept their theme] KPNX: Right Here, Right Now [615] (2004) KSDK: NBC- Flagship [Gari] (2006) KTHV: KTHV 2004 Theme (2004) KUSA/KTVD: KUSA News Package [Third Street] (1995 for KUSA; 2006 for KTVD) KXTV: KXTV News Package [Gari] (2005) WBIR: Heartland [615] (2000) WCSH/WLBZ: Good News [Gari] (1986) WFMY: Energized! [FirstCom] (2006) WGRZ: Image News [Gari] (1998) WKYC: The Tower [615] (2001) WTLV/WJXX: Seize The Day [615] (2006) WLTX: Alive [615] (2006) WMAZ: Seize The Day [615] (2006) WTSP: Seize The Day [615] (2007) WUSA: The CBS Enforcer Music Collection [Gari] (1997) WXIA/WATL: The Tower [615] (2006) [Last to change over] WZZM: Newswire [615] (2008) [1st to change over]
rhombics447 1 Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 WKYC is still using a few cuts of The Tower here and there.
tw-804 194 Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 I must admit, it all seems to fit for WKYC... What I'm worried about now is WXIA... And KPNX and KSDK.
abric 186 Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Too late about KPNX, they switched today as well.
