Guest wfaa8fan Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Anyone else in the DFW area notice the "new" weather graphics...? Usually these are one of the first on air changes, just as KXAS and KDFW did before their new on air look debut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFW11anchorman 0 Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Seems like an unnecessary change, but it looks pretty good. I still don't like the new five-day forecast modified a couple of months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new ones: overkill, and just plain crappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdcnow 14 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Somebody lock Pete Delkus out of the graphics computer: he keeps screwing up! : At 5:00, he redid the 5-day graphic: the words are so smushed together, they're almost unreadable. Please Pete, Troy did it best, and Troy did it right. Leave the graphics alone. Please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFW11anchorman 0 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I'm sure Pete had a say in the graphics change, but I really doubt he's actually changing the graphics himself. He doesn't get to make all the decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't get to make all the decisions. From my understanding (and I could be wrong), most stations give the weather divsion control over graphic design and creation of the weather graphics. That's why some stations' weather gfx are cool, while others are just crappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wfaa8fan Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Really! Inquiring minds want to know! ;D OMG....he is thinking WFAA may be getting a new look because the weather graphics have changed. Process it in your brain!!! Aren't you smart. And OMG if you haven't seen the new promos lately... what have you been watching? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFW11anchorman 0 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Looks like WFAA has gone back to the stacked horizontal five-day outlook. It's still a new look, but back to the way they've always done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdcnow 14 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Looks like WFAA has gone back to the stacked horizontal five-day outlook. It's still a new look, but back to the way they've always done it. Probably from the viewer hatemail rumors say they've been getting. It's like when WPVI tried to change their music: When a station has a way of doing things, viewers get accustomed to that. When the station does try to change something they've done for literally decades (WFAA has used the horizontal format 5-day FOREVER, since the 1970s at least, if not further back than that), and when they try to change that, of course viewers are going to respond negatively. If the negative response is strong enough (which if my hypothesis is right about viewer responce being the cause, then clearly it has been), the station will find a way to change it back.
