Stations Adopting Network Graphics and Animation

[newscenter 0]

There are stations out there, which they adopt the network's graphic and animations, and use them for news opens and graphics.

 

For example: WXMI FOX-17 took the graphics and animation from the network SO FOX campaign, and used it for news opens and graphics

 

Talent open - where they use the same animation for anchors, as the network does for stars like Keifer Sutherland (24), Simon Cowell (Idol) and Simpsons

News Open - where they use the animation, even to close the FOX promos by saying SO FOX

I've always have been a fan of stations that took this approach.

Seems like a handful of ABC stations have incorporated the "Start Here" sounder/animation to their news opens, such as WISN:

 

KLAS used their own local version of the CBS Evening News graphics for their opens from 1992-1995. Videoholic uploaded it to Youtube, but took it down.

 

When WTVT became "FOX 13 Eyewitness News" they incorporated the FOX ID into their already-existing open:

 

KYTX uses their own version of the old CBS Evening News graphics.

Yeah, that was during a time when WGCL was (is?) still in identity crisis mode.

Wow! That's pretty cool. 615 Music's "The Unexpected" definitely fits 'em.

For a while, WWL-TV took their graphics cue for the L3s from CBS News - here's their red and yellow look from the early 90s:

 

 

The next look after this, I believe, was when they started to head out on their own.

I almost forgot. WPSG took on the original CW look when then network launched.

I'm still trying to forget that look.

WXMI's are very well done. It would be nice to see stations do that more often.

They are alright, but I think it's to much gray!! Just like WGN..

Here in the UK, BBC regions and ITV regions use the same graphics as their network cousins. S4C uses BBC graphics because BBC produce their news programme. RTE in Ireland has no local news service.
