rhombics447 1 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Here's WEWS's use of the new look. [yt]LLqIxqC4qVM[/yt] Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/5936-wcpo-goes-renderon/page/3/#findComment-56333 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess 1115 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Okay, am I the only one that thinks the music is actually half decent? It has a catchy sig, and there appears to be variations. The more I hear it the more I keep thinking it's a Gari pack...? Also, WEWS is one of the few Scripps stations where the new look is an arguable improvement. Their old stuff was hideous. Although if they're centralizing I wish they took the opportunity to fix that ugly WEWS logo. Especially since WPTV has the correct version.

Ntropolis 596 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I'm kinda weird... I like the music, it's better than the Gannett and Media General packages. It seems to be limited in themes though, the way WEWS is using it. I'd imagine it gets old fast.

TennTV1983 804 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 KNXV completed the switch to the new look yesterday evening, which just leaves WMAR as the only one that hasn't adopted the new look just yet. They're also the only Scripps station not in HD just yet.

tyrannical bastard 3953 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 A definite improvement over what WEWS has had over the past decade or so. I don't like the flash of light used as a transition element; it looks slapped on. If only MG's stuff looked this good.

CLT-DCA-ORF-PTI 87 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Hmm, forgive me, but I actually like the WEWS version. The Squares in the package remind me of WMAR's package actually. I am kind of eager to see WMAR...of course my affiliate is last. lol. But I am not surprised...who knows with WMAR, with their constant budget and personnel cuts, maybe they are cutting the newscasts in general...(ok, maybe that that extreme, but when your ratings are that bad, it's a thought!)

Especially since WPTV has the correct version. I like the logo the way it is. They brought it back in 2007. Back to the music and the graphics. They are now growing on me, like Gannett's a while ago.

They are now growing on me, like Gannett's a while ago. Well, yeah they brought back *a* circle 5, and it's better than the non-descript box logo they decided to adopt. But they didn't need to redraw it. The 5 looks deformed and malnourished - they didn't need to add an angle in the part of the 5 and thin the logo out like they did. I think they did redo the logo with the centralizing but it still doesn't look right.

RGSJenkins 435 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 WMAR launched a new evening news team and premiered the new (so-so) graphics today. Yeah, 5:30 pm anchor Terry Owens and evening anchor Mary Beth Marsden left the station (buyout) but at least they got to say goodbye on air, both is on their site, abc2news.com. I like how Terry sums up his farewell the most. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/5936-wcpo-goes-renderon/page/3/#findComment-56383 Share on other sites More sharing options...

qunewsguy 377 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Definitely liking the WFTS and KJRH looks the best. It looks better in red than gold. Definitely needed a blue version for WXYZ though. The gold-on-gold is totally out of place there.

detroiter313 180 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I never thought that Scripps would join its fellow Station owner groups in the station-centralization trend. But now since that happened, I guess it's now to complain about the graphics/music change on its stations, especially here in Detroit's WXYZ. Why did you do it Scripps, why, why, why?????!!!!

The same reasons some of the other station groups have standardized their looks: to save money on operating costs as much as they can. If the economy remains bleak, we could probably expect more groups to join in on this trend.

geoffbruno 0 Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I had always liked the old graphics that WCPO had used, but I think the Scripps graphics are alright. The real loss was the music. The new Scripps music is a huge step down from 615's Right Here Right Now, which WCPO used to use. As far as WPTV goes, I think it looks pretty awful with their logo and brand that they have created. I believe the concept for these graphics came from ABC Action News, and it seems to work nicely with their branding, as it does with other stations, especially WCPO, as it blends with their logo and their set relatively well. If you look on Renderon's website, you can find a montage of the graphics concept for the Scripps stations, and it looks substantially better that what shows up on TV somehow. I think it's the fonts and the lack of the awful music. Anyway, it's a shame that Scripps mandated the music in addition to the graphics, as Scripps ownership had always made WCPO one of the leaders in the Cincinnati market, but this certainly wont help.
