More like FOX cuts across the board. Sure, they can get people to come by, but live coverage and more resources covering breaking news will have to beat out everything. This format change just masks it. I do believe Tristan Bresnen, not WTVT's hub, made the graphic edits and these are even more rogue and fresh than his interpretation of the FOX HD O&O GFX. The theme is also cool. But yeah, other than aesthetic refreshes, yeah, format? Nych. WFXT in Boston has been suffering BADLY from all this.
@hkfreak No, I've confirmed it's the Tampa hub. Tampa actually doesn't do a bad job with the graphical look of the stations, although I would prefer full graphics departments.
@HulkieG FOX made an excellent decision in choosing Tampa as their hub. A very strong affiliate in a progressive market, strong creative department. At least market size wasn't the only factor in their decision...achh...like another station group i know of :4
@hkfreak New open looks much better than what they had, but still rather 2D. At least this one looks acceptable for an O&O. How did 'TXF get Tampa to do a special open just for them?
@hkfreak Hmmm so this is an *OFFICIAL* new open across the board. Nice. Also digging the new theme...for lack of a better term, more indie-bandish :-*
WFLD has been suffering as well. Only difference is during the 9pm "newscast", they use strictly production music.

@HulkieG Yeah, I just saw Tampa's interpretation. Not bad at all, and they still have Big Don's voiceover.
