I was watching ESPN last night at about 10pm when SportsCenter came on. Right away I noticed that they had new graphics. Their old scroll/story line went top to bottom on the right side of the screen, working their way down. It is now going top to bottom on the left side of the screen and they are scrolling bottom to top.
Not that I know everything about ESPN but this isn't the first time I've noticed their change in programming. It keeps me interested.
Also, Robert Flores was just talking about the Final Four women's games last night in St. Louis. It happened to be the UConn-Stanford game which I watched some of last night as well before I turned it off and went to bed since the ladies were up by a ton.
So, here's the point. I was watching the floor-graphics for the Final Four all over the place and there's and arch (St. Louis-archway-duh) on the floor. I thought it looked terrible and distracting during the game and once when Renee Montgomery-UConn's point guard went from wood colored floor to the royal blue arch on the floor it looked like that image was being post-produced on the court. (Like the NFL does the yellow line for the first down mark) Now, it was really on the court but the difference in picture was terrible. I noted that in my mind right away.
Robert Flores' point was just the same. He said-what about that arch on the court last night? Then he said something to the point he thought it was bad.
All for now! Happy Monday!

They launched their new graphics this morning to coincide with the new SportsCenter set and studios in LA that they'll be using at midnight.
The LA production studios can actually do the show in 1080p (first in the world)...but they won't be airing it that way for a long time I'm guessing. Here's an article in the LA Times about it.
Good find Paul!
