New music too - from The One and Only to Canvas by Stephen Arnold (WPLG is the last station with The One and Only now iirc)

Today was their first day with the graphics/music on their newscasts, but they did debut this about a month ago:

Their new opens haven't debuted yet as of writing this, but I'd imagine they would probably look like this

Wow they finally killed off One and Only that was the sound of KUSI! At least they didn’t go Aerial….

I was just checking out the graphics, and I'd say I wish they had not but the KUSI logo in a white box. If doesn't look great.

Even though WISH was one of the original stations under Nexstar before they traded up to WTTV/WXIN, the package still somewhat exists at WISH under Dujuan McCoy.

 

Sad to think that this was one if the inspirations for GrayOne, especially with the supers.

Whats with that awful abrupt end to the opening theme when the anchor are doing their introduction? Horrible. Ive  noticed more and more newscasts have this. I imagine its a result of everything being automated. Terrible. Why is that allowed.

The best explanation I can give is that having a long pad on a video playing out of a server in automation is playing with fire. Let's say, hypothetically, there are 4 video playback outputs from the video server here. three normal for vos, sots, pkgs, etc, one keyable for show opens, animations, and other fancy production elements where the video comes in/out over the elements surrounding it. 

 

Have the keyable open with 3 seconds of audio pad on it, the playback file will end, and the automation will cue up the next element assigned to play out of that channel automatically.

 

Have the keyable open with 30 seconds of trailing/fading audio pad on it, and there's another element set to play from the keyable channel within the first 30 seconds after the show open, most likely the automation will automatically eject the open animation while the trailing audio is still playing and will cue up the next element set to come out of that keyable channel in time for it to be clean - but it just isn't worth the risk in a situation where the automation director would have to verify the right element is cued up, or manually advance the playback channel to the next element during a busy top of a newscast.
