YWT Relaunch

[jrhtwc]

YWT got a relaunch like WUWA did this morning. With A&B in NY, and Maria and Jen at TWC. Anyone watching this morning? Did it sound like A&B moved to NY for good? Why would they do that???

I was reading that story yesterday that they were going through some changes & was like what maybe this will be good so we'll see but i'll tell you as a true new yorker i'm thrilled that Mike & Steph are here!

It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be graphics wise, I like the opener, but they need to pull the L3rds up some so the text doesn't run too close to the top of TWC logo. They had this problem with the relaunch in June 2009. Also as IcemanNYR pointed out,  they need a new NY studio, it's extremely too small and something that they should have been trying to develop first before starting this experiment.

I still don't like how YWT still plays production music a lot. It makes the show look dead.

For those who didn't see it, there seems to be two versions of this show's opener. One that includes Mike and Stephanie and the other that I'm guessing is generic. I'll post the generic version here later.

Generic Opener

NOTE - For some reason the tag to crop videos to 16:9 aspect video ratio isn't working if you're using Chrome, it does work in IE9.

I like the graphics-very clean looking. I just really wish they had some music that wasn't so.....eh. It just doesn't fit.

I like this refresh better than the previous look. Looks very Today Show-ish if you ask me...not that that's a bad thing though.

I thought the same thing when looking at the graphics used on the teaser and I also agree that it's a whole universe better than the previous graphics.

I agree! And, one element that I really like was added-actual footage of weather, people, and places. That was one element I felt was sorely lacking. Evert sice June '08 . It "makes" the package much more appealing to me.

It sorta makes me think of the YWT opener from the BWTL era. I like that.

Me too!  Ha, I was literally just thinking that.  None of the openers after the 2008 relaunch had "pictures" with them, if you know what I mean.  But this looks a lot better.

I really like these new graphics!   The music, eh, but the graphics are definietely a step in the right direction.

For some reason, I didn't realize we would still have Maria and Jen at TWC hosting YWT...I thought it was going to be all A&B from NY.

That's because the theme they use IS YWT's theme.

Anyways, love the intro but bleh for not changing the music -_-
