The 10pm teaser tonight had a whole new look.
Lots of CGI, a magnified 7 logo for the background done in a black/red/blue gradient.
Earlier in the day they debuted new graphics for the web site which look very similar to the teaser so I think it’s definitely a sign of things to come very very soon
Can’t wait to see, get the shots up webmaster! 😉
Looks good, I can’t wait to see what else they’ve come up with for the new look!
Looks great!
What is the obsession with 7? I could give a crap about their ratings, the journalism is crap, the on-air talent is crap, why not devote some time looking for another station who might improve their game and praise them when they do? 7 has never had any interest in improving their intellectual content. Pretty sets don’t make for worthwhile content, OK? Jeez!
I wish i could see all the new graphics now.
i hope that whdh-tv here in boston has similar graphics. i love the wsvn ones that you posted!
ccc229 nice lecture dude, or dudette, but you are assuming too much and you are taking things way too seriously
For starters, from what I’ve seen all local stations here have the same content, well maybe execpt 10 as of late. The difference is they are not as loud, in your face and hyper as 7 but they all lead with the same crappy stories about cars with flat tires and other non-sense.
Second, before this blog was a blog it was a web site about the graphics of the local stations and it started because of 7 for the obvious reasons. I almost majored in graphic design so I have some interest in it. Visitors wanted news and I thought it was silly to pay to learn which anchor moved to where the site became a blog.
I don’t watch much local news, I probably haven’t seen a whole newscast since 10 debuted their new graphics package and before that the 4pm newscast on 7. I get my news off the internets I haven’t waited for the newscast hour and hoped to be informed since I began using the internet in 1997.
Obviously you think everything about 7 is crap, you are entitled to your opinion, but most of the time I enjoy watching them and other stations so I’ll keep writing about whatever I find interesting
Why don’t you start a blog and devote some time looking for another station who might improve their game and praise them when they do? I’ll even give you a link here
Well admin, let me help you. All these local stations are polluted by 7 castoffs, under the mistaken notion that ratings equates to quality. Now that the bean counters run the stations, it’s the same crap everywhere. 7 is still the beacon of shoddy journalism, always has been, before Belkis, before Sally Fitz, back to Wayne Fariss. Only now, no one has figured out why 7’s numbers are high. Could it be because 10pm is more friendly to the elderly and late-night partyers, or because so much prime time is crap? The idiot at 10, Bill Pohovey, is from 7. Brian Andrews and his tripe came from 7. Michael Williams, Julia Yarbo, 7 alumni, and I’m pretty sure they grabbed some producers along the way. If you are satisfied with the crap that passes for news these days, fine. I know there is better journalism around, in other cities, withmore enlightened ownership, and frankly, Post Newsweek should be ashamed of what 10 has become. All the bells and whistles count for nothing if they don’t deliver meaningful news. Put it this way: who will you watch for local election results on Tuesday? Michael Putney is the best, if Pohovey doesn’t muck up the broadcast. Lauderdale has been here and knows his stuff. Laurie Jennings (see how fast she escaped 7?) is very good as well. Go over to 6 and Nick Bogert is excellent. Who does 7 turn to for meaningful reporting? Lynn Martinez?
i’m sorry.. but 4 has been producing some of the best stuff so far..
mike kirsch had a kick-butt story on thursday about the cooper city commissioners getting drunk before meetings. earlier, he had that police station intimidation series which everyone was talking about.
brian andrews has been promoting a great investigation about cops having family on the force.. and getting kick backs. that’s hard stuff. cops get away with a lot.
gillen routinely has great investigations. she broke the mental ward disaster just last month.
al sunshine breaks big consumer stories .. remember firestone tires?
laurie stein’s series on breast cancer has been unbelievable.. she’s a great writer and cancer affects everyone in one way or another.
gary nelson is their best storyteller. carey codd is solid.
i think 4 has the best team, hands down.
ok wasn’t it for that produced the reporter floating in a boat where a person walked across in front of the camera?
What about the now for reporter who was fired from the herald after having “communicaitons” with Art Teele before he blew his head off….
these stories may not be the most current, but they are not that old.
Yeah, WFOR is producing some good stuff.
CCC229,
I live in chicago and I will be watching 7’s live coverage online.
Say what you want, they have the news that really matters to the majority of people, (a rape in pembroke pines concerns me more than corruption in government for example).
If you dont like 7, or 4, or any of them for that matter, then read the news online.
Unless you are a complete idiot, you should know that when you watch ANY newscast, whether in Miami, Chicago, or New York, you are watching a PRODUCTION. If you want straight news with no production value, then read the fucking newspaper. With that said, when you watch news on TV, pay attention not only to the story, but to the music, graphics, camera angles, etc, because the video is telling the story, and to tell the story well you need different types of camera angles, and zooms, etc. Even if you don’t agree with the content because it may not concern you per se, you should at least give props to the designers, editors, and control room ops for doing a damn good job at getting the news out there in a fast and interesting way.
And didn’t you ever hear the saying, “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all”? Well, if not you have now.
I wouldnt go that far Mike, if everybody on this blog had only nice things to say, it wouldnt be as entertaining.
fair enough
the boat in the water and someone walking by was the NBC NETWORK — AND THE NATIONAL TODAY SHOW. Not WFOR. How embarassing is that?
after I typed it, I thought it was an NBC joke. but, too late, already sent.
I dont see much difference to this and the ones they’re currently showing. Same style and fonts they’re using in the current package.
BTW, 7 News also made a new 7 Sky Force graphic. I was it in the 5:30 News segment.
it’s not new
I also think 7 news got a new 7 news on the net graphic. I saw it on the 12:00 news today.
I still remember the Atom graphic, but you’re more up to date than I’am.
Lame, a cheap knock off of the original graphics, if that’s what to come they’ve gone backwards, sorry fans…
