7 changed the Hurricane Graphics

Author admin on 6/11/2006 in Local Media.

And they look very cool, at least without sound. I’m working now but I’ll try to muster some screen caps in a few minutes

They’ve got new music too, IMO the previous theme was much better. Working on the video now

Update: here’s the video. Im experimenting a bit at the moment to see how it goes with flash. The music is not as bad as I thought, but still the previous theme was much cooler. Oddly they didn’t change the “Surviving a storm” graphics and music.

The Beeb is coming to America!

The BBC has announced it’s bringing BBC World News to the US starting this July! They have already gone live on Cablevision systems in New York but no word on which other cable and satellite cariers will pick up BBC World News and when.

I for one would like to get them even online, something similar to CNN Pipeline

Hurricane season promos

Author admin on 6/1/2006 in Site News and Comments.

Some of you have already seen them but I just saw the 7news one a few minutes ago. It’s very calm and surprisingly un-hypey. Overall a very nice promo though.

Wonder who’s doing 7’s promos lately because the 7 logo in the hurricane one and in the “See it on 7″ looks very weird.

When I get some time I’ll see about figuring out the encoding issues and will post all 4 station’s promo videos
