KKyuubi 0 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Which Station Bugs (for anything), do you think need "squashing" or a major revamp? I personally think the new ABC News bug, WAY TOO BUSY, animates too frequently, gets distracting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjohnson 15 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 KDNL and KTVI seem to be confused about which bug to use. KDNL alternates between the "News30" ABC30 (1995-2001) and the newer ABC30 bug (2004-Present). Syndicated programs have one, and the network programming has the other. KDNL "Old" ABC30 "New" ABC30 KTVI seems to be similarly befuddled. The New O&O logo doesn't seem to show up except during FOX2 news and on occasion in the syndicated programming (I'll try to get a KTVI-DT bug to reference the screenshot below, as I can find a web sourced new bug). "Old FOX2" I'm from the "pick one" school of though regarding bugs. I only mentioned the bug issues with KDNL because of Cfif's referencing of WTTA's "humongous" bug. Can't they make that a bit smaller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoadStar 363 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 WISN 12 Milwaukee. Too big, and it usually hovers out in the middle of nowhere, well away from the network bug. When it doesn't do that, it ends up colliding with the network bug, and just ends up looking extremely tacky. Here's an example of the former, stolen from gizmodo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jestbiteme 13 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 The Today Show bug annoys the hell out of me. On that note, the Early Show lookalike haunts me. Why the hell are there so many fonts? And what is it trying to do? Spawn? Ahhhhhh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ntropolis 593 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 The Today Show bug annoys the hell out of me. It "bugs" (LOL pun) you even more when you're watching it in HD and the local station doesn't have the time/temp in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario500 3 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 The Mobile-Pensacola market's CW Television Network affiliate WBPG has a that logo appears twice every half-hour to serve as a station identification and as an on-screen reminder. Why not a traditional station ID, WBPG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not a traditional station ID, WBPG? Because stations don't like to do traditional ID's. You should see WMOR's....their list of translators isn't readable in their little ID. (They have one in St. Petersburg, New Port Richey, and one in Venice about 3 miles away from my house) WAVY's a real bad offender of the on-screen IDs... WVEC's isn't too bad. WAVY puts theirs up after Today starts in the morning (they run right into Today). WVBT's isn't bad. WTKR doesn't have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
