Never one to be outdone by the New York Times, Murdoch's kids today also unveiled a new look. For flagship FOX station WNYW FOX 5. Check out the screenshots provided by Gothamist tipper, the ever-vigilant Toby:
The Tobster points out that the new look and graphics brings the station more in line with the Fox News Channel. And cause everyone likes to laugh at others troubles, he also notes "The 5PM newscast was filled with all sorts of technical problems."
We'll add that it looks like the new set and graphics also sync FOX with the new look Murdoch has been playing with for WWOR, now that it is becoming a part of My Network TV in the wake of The CW.
Looks kinda dark and boring to us, but to be honest we haven't really watched news on Fox 5 since way back when Penny Crone used to do the New York Minute (we love you TiVo and we promise we'll be home soon!). So we're not really in the best position to critique. What do you think?
