Interesting that they’ve really taken the network branding and graphics package as a whole for the bulletin, rather than say creating a separate look. Obviously trying to create some synergies between the two so it’s familiar for viewers amidst the change.
Duncan Grieve at the spinoff says it rumored that WBD are paying Stuff $6-$8 million for this so I would say WBD still want their brand all over it.
Sam has a story going out on tonight’s bulletin so appearing on day one in some capacity.
Hopefully not too many technical issues with the bulletin tonight as its still coming out of the Flower St site. I would say they will happen when the bulletin moves out of there.
That’s interesting they’re paying for it, I sort of assumed it would be like a revenue sharing arrangement for ad placements during the news.
That Three logo is really an insult to NZers and to TV in general (or media in general).
Any advert or promo with that stupid +HR=E looks like a joke and doesn’t make me think “I think I’ll watch that”. Even if the news product is good, WBD really need to do something about the ridiculous logo.
Agreed they should make one similar to Channel 5 and 10
Oh dear…
The fake newsroom backdrop is shit.
I disagree.
However you’re very hard to please.
I don’t mind the background it just looks like such bad green-screening.
Well great start the last update before 6pm had no audio.
Stuff’s new “news chat” page allows viewers to discuss top stories before the 6pm ThreeNews bulletin, which promises “innovative opportunities for audience engagement and participation.”
Doesn’t look too bad on screen, thank god!
Still a bit of life in the old Newshub newsroom yet… I guess the TV reporters are still based there for now.
It’s simple. I like it. I just don’t like the straps or the font. Never really been a fan of curved straps.
Noticing some weird flickering above Laura’s shoulder on the greenscreen.
I like the fonts + graphics (besides the backdrop and the +HR=E logo).
Much better than I was expecting tbh
Looks good, it will get better once in New studio. Great stories, work in progress. Well done Three News
