ABC O&O Websites Get Refreshed Look

[NewsJunkie247 1]

ABC O&O's websites have gotten a slight, but nice refreshed look. The headlines on the front page now appear differently and the video section is different as well.

 

For example, here is WABC: http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/index

I know, saw ABC 7's here in LA, and it looks pretty good. I like that you can customize the regional headlines segment of the page!

I wish NBC O&O websites will put more of a focus on original, local news stories with more videos from the newscasts. I hardly ever visit NBCNewYork.com anymore. I don't know what NBC was thinking with that format.

Am I the only person who preferred the old look?

 

I liked its focus on video. That it had a big picture or video carousel as the dominating element. It's a television station, you should focus on the visual.

 

Now, granted - I do like the fact that it's easier to find news stories here. It's laid out like the old CNN.com a bit which I liked. So it's not like they went to a BAD design, just a... different one that focuses more on the news aspect.

 

Like I said, I prefer the old one but this ain't bad.

Now its like a blast to the past, lol. At first I didn't prefer the one they had before, but after viewing this I think what they had before is better than what they have now, lol. I agree with HulkieD I do like the video emphasis. Its not too bad though, I guess it'll just take a little bit of time for me to adjust to it...
