caliwxdude 252 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Is it possible to get a cap? (Former Tulsan speakin here, been a while since I've seen 2News' output, if you want to call it that.) You're talking to a former Tulsan as well, so the only evidence I have are the monstrous lower-thirds that are present in the videos on the KJRH website and a few stingers mixed in. I'm actually not completely against the music, either. Another improvement over the crap tracks of NBC Collection that I've heard on KJRH lately... And yes, KJRH still and will always suck. I don't want to turn this into a discussion of Tulsa TV news, but I'm really surprised at how far KOKI has come in the short history of their news department, and working under the iron fist of Newport management.

Weeters 1811 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I give it an "Oh Brother" and two "Gahh!"'s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skbl17 188 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I really hated WPTV's new open. First of all, the animation and design is "less than adequate", and what music are they using now?? The old graphics would really "pop" on the screen and they used The NBC Collection. It is such a shame that Scripps would do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGSJenkins 432 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Here's a weird promo from KNXV's chief meteorologist Bill Bellis head on a spaceship from "V" with the new brown graphics, KNXV still uses their old gold graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColumbusNewsFan 217 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 It looks like The Insider's old graphics and any time you're comparing news graphics to those of a entertainment gossip show. It's bad. Really, really bad. :bang::bang::bang::bang: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caliwxdude 252 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Looks like a few stations are starting to tweak the new graphics in a better way. KJRH has improved on the two-shot lower third and shrunk the standard lower-third to a much more manageable size... Like I've said before, the new look works for them since it's such an improvement over their previous graphic look, which was really horrendous.

It's bad. Really, really bad. :bang::bang::bang::bang: To be fair, KNXV's soon-to-be-former graphics were Insider-esque as well (and kinda busy also). Nice to see at least one station "fixing" the lower thirds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newsguy 0 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I actually find these pretty classy...I like the palette..I like the movement..I'm glad they explored some new directions...I also think the animations are very well done. I give it a thumbs up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I've said before, the new look works for them since it's such an improvement over their previous graphic look, which was really horrendous. KSHB also made the lower 3rds as small as KJRH too. I guess maybe they got some complaints or realized how monstrously big it was before. It definately a step in the right direction for the new graphics package.

skbl17 188 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Well, I just checked SouthernMedia, and they say that WPTV and WCPO are using the "Scripps TV Station Group Package" now. So something else did come with the new graphics.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So something else did come with the new graphics.... That's the new music as heard ... it's probably not called "Scripps TV Station Group Package," that's just the name SouthernMedia gave it to go with the audio sample in hopes of someone identifying it.

Jess 1110 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 WPTV adopted the revised lower thirds. The look is... growing on me. It's not bad, but it is a downgrade on WPTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lugnuts6 89 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 WXYZ's new SCRIPPS look just preemed today , not bad tho the new 7ABC/ WXYZ.com bug needs to be a bit lower down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKyuubi 0 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Not good. Not good. The graphics are good, although they should have at least recolored them for the different stations. And the new music sucks royally. They should have kept Eyewitness News NG, it worked good for 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ntropolis 593 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Who's left? KNXV, WMAR and WEWS, right? I guess WEWS will be the only station that'll look better after this. These are hubbed from WFTS, and they haven't made the switch yet either... hope they don't, they look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennTV1983 748 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 WFTS just made the switch to the standardized look today, with KNXV slowly migrating to the new look (the weather graphics and promos so far; everything else is the same as of this post).

rhombics447 1 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 WEWS just switched at 5 PM. Compare with the five-day forecast with the old graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKyuubi 0 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 WXYZ moved their bug lower today. More tolerable: yes. More better: no. If they don't recolor these and bring back the old music (which I might add, they had only been using EWN NG for a few months at best.), I am well...just gonna keep complaining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How hard could have this been to recolor? Blue/white for WPTV, WXYZ, and WEWS... red for KJRH, WFTS, and KSHB, and the orangy-yellow already works for WCPO, WMAR, and KNXV.
