susquvalleywgal 524 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Well, it took them a while, but WHP-TV CBS21 has new gfx tonight. And they look NICE. Not sure if it is HD, but might be. New look is online at whptv.com Screen caps later tnte.
susquvalleywgal 524 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Posted March 23, 2009 And ... oh yeah .... do I hear Enforcer package music??? Yup Finally, CBS21 gets it right. Good job guys.
stevieboy247 43 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I knew one of the Central PA stations would go on the O&O music bandwagon sooner or later. Makes you wonder if the others stations will follow. By the Way...The graphics are awesome, I'd have to admit.
abric 186 Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 You're right it does have that WPEC feel to it. Maybe Giant Octopus created these new graphics. Nonetheless, they look very good especially the new logo.
Jess 1115 Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 First thing that came to my head was WOIO, but that wasn't Hothaus...
qunewsguy 380 Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Looks great! Sounds great! Thumbs up from me.
TSSZNews 1053 Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 Fun fact: WTEV/WAWS in Jacksonville are using the same graphics now, when they went over to the Action News format. Must have been a Clear Channel corporate buy. -T

TSSZNews 1053 Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 I'm sure one day I'll pay attention to changings of the guard! -T
Jess 1115 Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Well, Newport TV is just Clear Channel TV without Clear Channel owning it. Really not much difference there, unlike when Local TV was formed out of the New York Times stations division and went about the redefining local TV bit.
first on fox 18 Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Slick...but tabloid-y as shit that its unwatchable
CLT-DCA-ORF-PTI 87 Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Hmm, it reminds me somewhat of WOIO's Action News Graphic Packages a bit. Not to mention the same music also.
ThatSowislander 52 Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 WTEV is going to into pure crap. Sad, because I thought they seem to have a decent product. Action News can be good if done right.
TennTV1983 811 Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Will WHAM and WSYR get this? Probably, if Newport TV is trying to go for a standardized look a la Blahnett, Sinclair, Media General, NBCU, and Raycom.
Jess 1115 Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Well, see, there's a difference. Action News is the format WPVI has used successfully for years, mostly because of its quick pace. ACTION NEWS is the format that WOIO uses, in which every story either says something will kill you or that "yes, this station is badass" in some way. Unfortunately, WTEV seems to be using ACTION NEWS and not Action News.
Ntropolis 600 Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Yeah... I definitely got a WOIO vibe from this. I thought this was the newscast style that was supposed to be going out the door... the format people have been getting tired of. What happened?
