DMA 135 Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 I don't believe there was ever any discussion regarding new graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeters 1811 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I don't believe there was ever any discussion regarding new graphics. Sounds like new graphics are coming. A Daily News article on the news director's leaving says: "The station is also preparing to debut a look for its newscasts, including a new studio set-up." http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/2009/08/31/2009-08-31_veteran_tv_news_.html New set, probably new music, yeah, I'd expect new graphics.

puck2008 0 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 ...probably new music... NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad 276 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo......... Yeah I agree they had that theme for decades, I kinda liked it but it was starting to become dated... Who knows maybe it'll be an updated version...

DMA 135 Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 I doubt they'd drop the music, they've had the same signature for 16 years! Perhaps a new update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they had that signature commissioned for just ID's, promos and the website (or whatever people said it's on).... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that there' always a possibility that they'll drop the music, but there's never been any direct evidence. The DN article is very vague.

DMA 135 Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 They just showed a little bit of a timelapse of the new set build in a teaser ad. There are blue duratrans on each size, the desk is mostly grey with a plasma up front, and what we thought were plasma stands actually seem to be holding photos. This video was similar to this video: [yt]MJXnofUJexs[/yt] I just discovered this video, it seems to be a new news theme? Edit: They just showed a closeup shot of the duratran on the morning news, it's this weird satellite view thing :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey 779 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 They just showed a closeup shot of the duratran on the morning news, it's this weird satellite view thing :/ I wonder if that's going to be the weather area or something because there was also a ticker thing on top... I doubt they'd have a satellite/radar or whatever that thing was as a background for news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shorewx 1 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 NO weather set... sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMA 135 Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 WPIX showed the plasma wall thing just now, the plasmas are all slanted inward, it actually does look like a window. It looks like the graphics will stay, not sure about the music, I will record the open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoffrey 779 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Jim Watkins likes standing up at the four vertical plasmas. I guess he thinks he's Wolf Blitzer. It's interesting how they have to frame the reporters so that their faces aren't split up between the middle two monitors. Then when they take the reporters full, they're still off-center. Just got our first sample of the new theme... same signature and it kind of reminds me of one of WCBS's 1996 bumper themes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMA 135 Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 New updated version of the WPIX theme! The set is really weird, it's very versatile, they're moving furniture in and out: http://img40.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=eyetvsnapshot83.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBREEYEWITNESSNEWS 1 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 My cable stations being a D___...They are supposed to be airing WPIX at 630 but the darn CW programming contradicts that...It stinks i cant watch!

Dave Lampstein 6 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 So much for Vlad's "Best set in New York" comment. This is lame. Edit: I have the exact same tie as Jim Watkins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
