IndyNewsGuy 13 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I've noticed WABC's promos which feature shots of the station's talent. That led me to wonder, are WABC's Talent Opens on their way back? I put together a little something that I THINK we could see in the near future. Enjoy and Leave you thoughts! Here is the Link to The Video! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceManNYR 222 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 They used a talent open at 5:30pm. Not sure when they brought it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynewslover 269 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 They used a talent open at 5:30pm. Not sure when they brought it back. Idk but probably at noon.. Thats when they debuted the new graphics this time around... Are the team openings like the one in the link or are they different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceManNYR 222 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I did not get a chance to record it. I'll check if they use a talent open at 11pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Channel 7 Eyewitness News with (name), (name), (name) on sports, and (name) with the exclusive Accu-Weather forecast. (team shot) Now, Eyewitness News at (time). I saw the 5, 5:30, and 6 pm open, the names are written in one line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceManNYR 222 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 No intro used for 11pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabceyewitness 767 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Maybe because they are pressed for time at 11pm or maybe because Liz is still in for Sade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newsfan 9 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Maybe because they are pressed for time at 11pm or maybe because Liz is still in for Sade? I hope the 11pm newscast gets the new intros. It should be consistant all across the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nynewslover 269 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Did anyone notice that in the First at 4, 5:00 and 6:00 opens Lee Goldberg changes..he has a different shirt on in his single shot and in the team shot..everyone else is in the same clothes the entire open..idk if its like this on the 11:00 but its kind of weird..

24994J 5278 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Also, Liz's ehem- "undergarment" is showing the anchor shot of the 6pm open. I know they wouldn't try to boost the ratings that way, but it seems kind of sloppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee has a different tie and Pocket Square to. Strage that the goof Lee with Liz would make it on the air with out someone noticing them. It's odd they use a talent open at 5:30pm but not at 4:30pm. At 5:30pm today they used the non talent open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WABCNewYork 0 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 For the most part I liked it, but the timing of the music seemed off. I don't really like the shot of the anchors together at the end. Its kind of pointless. They have been doing that for a while now. They should show a picture of the Eyewitness News Van instead like they did from the talent opens from 2004-2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micstromme 3 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I really like the opens. I can't say that I ever really agreed with the station dismissing the talent opens a few years back. That always stood out to me and am just so glad that they brought it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newsfan 9 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 The new opening is fantastic. I love it I really do. Does anyone know if the 11pm newscast will get the new opening too or are they leaving it as is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynewslover 269 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Tonite they had a blooper with the open.. They showed the weekday 6pm team open instead of the weekend one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abc7 Man 25 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I hope the 11pm newscast gets the new intros. It should be consistant all across the board. Anyone know if this will ever happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceManNYR 222 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 They are still running the 6pm intro with Lee in different suits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad 276 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 And the 11PM broadcast still doesn't have an intro, it could be a quick lead in thing too so they could get right into the news.. WABC is the only station in the New York Area that has talent introductions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
