Alex 0 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Via SFLTV.com: "Hello NBCMiami! SFLTV.com was the first to inform in early January of the new site and graphics changes at NBC6. Just as promised, here they are! (Kinda) Although no official launch date has been announced publicly by WTVJ, inside sources still tell me that the launch date is planned for March 16th. In addition to the new site, we’re still expecting to see the new NBC O&O graphics and music." More info, and photos of the new site here. When you look at the photos on SFLTV, look at the "blooper." I love how the people designing the site aren't aware that Good Morning America is on ABC. edit: which is apparently old news...

Didn't know that. You would think someone would have fixed it by now, then.

Mrtraveler01 738 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 NBC Miami is online right now. nbc6.net now redirects to it. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/5115-wtvj-getting-ready-for-nbcmiami/#findComment-48097 Share on other sites More sharing options...
seriouslythough 0 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Well I guess I can post some screencaps of the 'new' look here. And somebody please tell me how to properly convert dvr-ms on Windows 7 to something more standard and I might be able to up the video.

rhombics447 1 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I believe this will be their new logo.

TennTV1983 804 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I don't like it. The "6" font looks kinda crappy. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/5115-wtvj-getting-ready-for-nbcmiami/#findComment-48110 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ib-td 1 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I don't like it. The "6" font looks kinda crappy. It looks, to me, like the 6 is slanted, like it's being rescued by the nbc logo. - yeah right!

seriouslythough 0 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Looks different but a bit tacky. Anyways the only other difference I can find is that the other screens are showing the basic logo - without promoting the website or HD.

jero23 105 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Nice redesign of the logo from the screenshot. However, this seems to be the first logo they've had since they moved from Channel 4 to 6 without "NBC" actually being written in the logo. Also it's interesting are just modifying this logo over the years without a major overhaul or creating a new logo...

seriouslythough 0 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I guess I'll post these here. You can probably find the 6pm one on YouTube. Anyway, the l3s are animated and the music is NG4 as heard on WNBC, but other than that standard stuff.

News24/7 3 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Two points... 1. WHY in the WORLD did they use NBC NG4? 2.

NBC 5 Chicago 191 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 OK this is sad. WTVJ got the new graphics before WMAQ did. The NG4 music seems ok for the station. Wish they could have used something other than the palm trees too.

Wish they could have used something other than the palm trees too. At least they put their own twist into the graphics for "South Florida Nightly News" and "South Florida Tonight". As much as I like the graphics, I'd much prefer WMAQ getting WNBC's over the standardized look the others are using.

lazynetjunkie 34 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Is WMAQ getting the new gfx? I hope they keep the Tower The sleek, modern WNBC look (graphics, newsroom/studio) is what WMAQ needs. Everything except WNBC's music. WMAQ's current set and graphics are old and stale looking. WMAQ could easily adapt WNBC's newsroom/studio set due to the place already having the right layout. Set, graphics, music, etc. have never really been a priority at WMAQ the past 7 years or so, and as far as I know, it currently still isn't a priority for WMAQ. Management there will only spend the money when they really need to and figures they're ok at being #2 in Chicago so why bother making changes that aren't absolutely necessary. I have the feeling when their lease is up with "Studio 5", they won't be renewing..

eyewitness_news 5 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 The Look C graphics on WTVJ is going to take some getting used to, as well as the NG4 music package. But WELL DONE, WTVJ!!! What is WMAQ waiting for?! I will be heartbroken if of all NBC O&Os, much less NBC affiliates, 5 picks the NG4 over the Tower V4.
