Belo stations debut new sites

Many Belo stations including KREM-TV and WWL-TV have debuted new Web sites. Read more after the jump.

The new sites are now center-aligned, which is a big improvement over the old style that pushed all the content to the left side of the screen.

The sites, which are powered by Broadcast Interactive Media, feature a generous header area that includes a banner ad, search function and weather data, as well as a large area for individual station branding. WWL-TV has elected to run its Web site URL higher in this area with a stylized cityscape below. KREM-TV, on the other hand, uses the entire area for its site logo.

The redesign hasn’t been rolled out to all Belo stations yet, including WFAA-TV or WCNC-TV.

Below this area is the navigation for the site but it doesn’t seem to carry quite the weight that navigation should. The small text size and spacing make it feel a bit light and doesn’t stand out that well.

Below the header, the content uses a pretty typical news site design that’s a bit cluttered and has promos and ads scattered about.

Inside pages devote the far left-hand column to a banner ad and adds a subnavigation bar under the main link buttons.

Overall, there isn’t anything very special about this redesign and doesn’t stand out among the many, many TV station sites out there already.

    And so it goes, another television website no one will frequent. I expect major fall out from these efforts as users will not flock as hope to a television stations own “web site”
