[edit] Eyewitness News graphics update

It seems like as of today (May 25, 2008), WABC changed their graphics package and tweaked their logo (the ABC logo and the circle 7 has a different bevel and light reflection effect). Think the article here is due for a tweak in due time.

[edit] Philly?

I would not doubt if they pool stories with Philly to get NJ news, but I hardly ever see Philly's stations on screen unless it is for southern NJ. I never see or hear anything about Philly on 7 anytime. I think this is just another attempt at Philly to force itself into the NYC area. Philly is it's own market it is own major city. The only time Philly news is on 7 is when it is national. I have never seen a major city fight so hard to be down with another market. Are things that bad in Philly? Maybe they don't like being seen as being down with DC, DE, NJ and MD? You can't have it all. Be thankful that you are a major city with your own identity.--71.235.81.32 15:01, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Eyewitness News...HD?

According to this forum post, WABC for some reason, started broadcasting the studio shots during Eyewitness News in 16:9 HD. Not even the graphics changed, and unlike KABC, the newscast didn't rebrand themself as "Eyewitness News HD" just yet.

Should this weird occurance be noted in the article? ViperSnake151 13:06, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] September 11, 2007

This was more of a news story of the time than an event of lasting, encyclopedic significance in my opinion. Anyone else see it that way? Rlquall 04:09, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

I was thinking the same thing. It's time to delete that section. Rollosmokes 08:05, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Updated Logo

With the introduction of WABC's new graphic package, they have an updated logo, with a glossier ABC portion,and a 3-d circle seven. I think the logo at the top of the page deserves an update at some point.Deemers (talk) 03:33, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Eyewitness News Screenshot

I captured a screenshot of the open, as it effectively illustrates the news operations section. The screenshot, fits under the fair use criteria for television screenshots, so how come it was taken down due to a policy. What is this policy then? I think the screenshot is of value to the article, and such screenshot are currently used in other television station articles, such as the KYW-TV article. I would like understand the reasoning of this change. Deemers (talk) 18:02, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

I have added a licenceing tag to it that validates it's use as a Non-Free Television Screenshot that helps identify the article. Therefore, this image is of fair-use rationale in this article. May I put it back up then?Deemers (talk) 23:28, 4 June 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Deemers (talk • contribs) 23:25, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
