NBC6 have unveiled the new graphics and they look pretty awesome. Screencaps and videos, soon
1:15pm Update: Watching the recording now and noticed some things – besides the graphics being very sleek, the morning show has talent bump and there’s also a talent bump before weather for the meteorologist. 6 didn’t have talent bumps previously.
The bug in the lower right corner is much smaller although in the open it hasn’t changed from the previous horizontal version. New music for the morning show was introduced. I don’t know what it’s called so maybe someone more familiar with news themes will be able to tell us.
I have the DVR set to record the 5pm newscast and after we have some lunch here I’ll get some videos uploaded

Haha, I was excited this morning!!
Love the new graphics… You know what I find strange though? During all of the BREAKING NEWS or DEVELOPING STORY opening clips there is no sound… just the WOOSH of the letters. Anyone else notice that??
Anyway, I don’t like their olympic logo, but the graphics are very cool… and haha Pam and Bob are great.
Ehhh…
All I can say is I’m glad that our 7 News up here in Boston isn’t an NBC O&O… yuck! I just don’t like their O&O packages.
An improvement (in my opinion) over what they had though!
I saw NewsNet at 12 today, love the new gfx.. and best of all, no more annoying rotating bug! The Music on the morning show was NBC Flagship, then faded in into something else, maybe an update to NBC Flagship.
all i can say is FINALLY! now, if only the studios can be renovated. also, a little more aggression to news coverage wouldn’t hurt. they’d give wfor a run for their money. . . baby steps, i guess.
Yep… it’s NBC Flagship… it’s all Flagship, but it’s an update from the version used for South Florida Today at 10am.
Rob, I don’t know how you can’t like the new gfx… they’re sleek and gorgeous!
I’m sorry i’m a hater but TVJ has gone nuts! i don’t really like the new “Novocom 2.0” w/ Pyburn inspiration, the news music just doesn’t fit, if they could have the news theme from 7Australia then that’ll be a news theme, the bug’s lame as always been, i’m not a TVJ fan anymore.
Hey again!
Not a ‘TVJ hater here, I’m just not a big fan of the current NBC O&O revamps. I’ll give you the “sleek” Jason, but “gorgeous”? Naw 😉
I managed to catch the beginning of the 6am, and noticed that Pam mentioned that the news graphics and music were jazzier. Heh, jazz.
In addition, the graphics and music are a nice change. Very intresting cuts of Flagship that they used.
Another trivial yet interesting tidbit: the new bug flashed for about two seconds on last night’s 11pm, and was quickly changed to the old bug.
Well, I guess Flagship is clashing with WPTV here in West Palm. I wonder if News Channel 5 would consider NBC – New Generation for their theme.
I wish TVJ would use New Generation… or the new Stephen Arnold “The Rock”.
I guess rumors of a new logo and new branding were greatly exagerrated. That “NBC6” logo is hideous. No logo should EVER include a website, unless it’s a logo FOR a website!
As for the new opens, there’s a jump cut in the 6 and 11 talent bumps. Watch the helicopter shot in the upper right when they show Tony Segreto at 6… and in the same spot at 11 when they show Jackie.
The lower thirds are decent, but I hate the grid pattern on the bottom, which is very 80s.
MSNBC has new graphics too, especially with the crawl on the bottom of the screen. I think every NBC channel has something new.
whos the composer of this package? im trying to find the whole thing in its entirety
anyone know
thnaks
My god, I just watched some more of that Lonnie Quinn guy… he is HILARIOUS!
Frank Gari is the composer of NBC Flagship. It’s not on his site, but if you visit http://www.southernmedia-nmsa.com you can hear the package.
Who’s the voice guy? It goes great with the new package.
Charlie Van Dyke… TVJ has used him since late 2004 or early 2005.
Voice over graphics, Music…A+++++++ next thing, they need to do something with the logo, then they are golden.
Hmm.. it seems the NBC Owned stations are taking the new graphics, because KNBC (Los Angeles, CA) has the same graphics as well.
