WX+ reports from new location

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

MSNBC was using a different location for Weather Plus updates at 30 Rock this afternoon. The network had moved away from using the Manhattan studios for weather updates on MSNBC, opting to use WeatherPlus headquarters at CNBC in Englewood Cliffs, N.J. instead.

When weather does originate from New York City, it is typically done from the balcony area, but today Jeff Raineri was reporting from the newsroom floor, with a handheld camera used. Raineri used the desktop computers to control his on-screen graphics as well.

By the way, the cable on the right side of the screen is a nice touch.

UPDATE: About thirty minutes later Raineri was back up on the balcony:

Get the ‘Scoop’ at new site

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

MSNBC.com has rolled out the red carpet on another individually-branded video-based site for gossip column “The Scoop.”

The new design features the now-familiar MSNBC video player with a bold red background. Below, additional headlines are framed in a rather sickening shade of yellow/brown/orange/green — not a great choice (image after the jump).

Fox redesigns uReport site

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

ureport.jpgFox News Channel has introduced a new logo and design for its citizen journalism initiative, uReport.

The new look improves upon the FoxNews.com design with sleek, shiny graphics, cleaner layout and better navigation.

Fox’s redo comes on the heels of CNN’s debut of iReport.com earlier this year. So far, MSNBC/NBC News hasn’t created a standalone site for its CJ offering FirstPerson. For a network that was founded on the premise of interactivity and the Web, MSNBC hasn’t really embraced citizen journalism to the extent of other outlets, particularly CNN.com (though, granted, MSNBC stopped its Internet-centric branding a while back).

By the way, the domain “firstperson.com” is owned by a Cayman Island-based company (CNN ponied up $750K for ireport.com).

‘Countdown’ sets up new site

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

“Countdown,” one of MSNBC’s most popular programs, has debuted its own standalone site.

Earlier this year, NewscastStudio had speculated which MSNBC or NBC property would be next to get a branded site, though our guess was “Meet the Press.” However, it seems logical that with Countdown’s increasing popularity (it recently scored MSNBC a first-place demo win for the first time in years) would make it the next to get a makeover.
