Are they reallly crunching the HD graphics to fit in an SD frame? That bug looks awfully squished!

Those aren't the HD graphics...

 

Also, the time/temp bug should be put on a single line.

you guys use a horrible cut of The NBC Collection (then again most of the new cuts are horrible)

 

Same ones WPTV uses:

the gfx dont look as squashed on air...it has something to do with the HD compression/up conversion that give it the illusion they're crunched...this is the work of Tristan Bresnen, and I did all the audio portions and rendering for the on air look...our CSD did most of the hard work, he got all the templates made. I was just his assistant.

They would have looked better if the graphics department didn't decide to use Arial. Seriously, why?

[ProButtonPusher 230]

It's Helvetica Neue.

[FirstNews8 13]

Yeah... its definately Helvetica...

[lazynetjunkie 34]

Gold trim on the news set.. Really? That so screems mid-1980's to mid-1990's.

[socalnewsguy 11]

There's nothing wrong with Helvetica Neue. You just need the right style of it to make things look good.

[Hometown News 62]

Hmmm... maybe the compression is making the font look different. Never mind. I think the sub-headline and the time/temp bug are both totally unreadable, though.
