KKyuubi 0 Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Yay, I hope they keep the uber-cool Hothaus graphics they have as is...

Spring Rubber 703 Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 I heard they remade the current openers for HD, so I assume they'll be keeping the corresponding graphics.

WANEFan 1 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Nice to see that they'll probably be keeping those cool Hothaus graphics... but will they be keeping NS2K+, or will there be new music? As a displaced Chicagoan now living in Fort Wayne, I'm hoping that they at least keep the First News/NS2K+ theme for the morning opens... one of my fave themes ever. But if they do want to change music, Stephen Arnold's Evolution would be a good fit.

FirstNews8 13 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 News Series 2000 Plus is an absolute staple of that station, It will be bad to see it go.

CircleSeven 1955 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 The sad part about it is Gari wants WLS to use the New Generation EWN Theme but the Management of WLS states they won't dump News Series 2000 Plus.

lazynetjunkie 34 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Just like earlier said, WLS definitely wants to keep their current music; however, Gari keeps pushing for them to change. WLS commissioned their version of the package and an update for it a few years ago so and are fully paying for it so they should be able to use it for as long as they want to. Heck, if WOI can use it, WLS should be able to continue to. WLS does have the EWN NG package and they use a couple cuts from it for their Chopper 7HD promos and talent promos but that's all. For a few years, WLS also did use a couple cuts from the first series of EWN for a couple stings.

FirstNews8 13 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I thought they did, I heard it once when I went to Chicago and they aired a chopper HD commercial, I was amazed that it was used, I though they where going to change, but the didnt.

kjohnson 17 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 I can't wait to see screenshots of ABC7 News in HD. They're sharp in SD. HD is going to make the other O&Os look ultra-cheap.
