Doesn't Bowl Me Over ... But it Works Better

It's not a bad thing ... overall they needed something to change, because navigation was a pain and I could watch none of the video, even though my OS (Mac OS X 10.4.11) and my browsers and plugins (FF, Safari, &c) were the latest versions.

The look of the KATU website has also changed, though the changes are a bit more subtle. One minus point for me is that they've taken the new Flag 2 logo off the header (I am sad because as I've gushed before, I'm really in love with that logo). But also there's more use of flat color gradients (and a representative color for each tab – Weather's header is green, for instance) and the faces of the news staff have disappeared from the header images completely.

I've noticed a particular "tight angle" on the news set during broadcasts without much variation. Suppose maybe they're working on upgrading that studio for HD?
