fox1 0 Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 It's interesting to see that Sydney MCTYW. I associate the theme more with Melbourne.. in an Australian context, that is, as Australia's kind of "Move Closer hub"! It lasted longer there, I think. Great stuff though. 1979. Wow. CTC-7 Canberra, 1995: Ten Capital Eyewitness News http://youtube.com/watch?v=I0LBOzzq_nU 6:00pm news open. I believe this was the last Australian station to use the "Eyewitness News" brand, continuing after Ten dropped it in late 95.

timgraham 0 Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 ATV-10 Melbourne, 1990: Ten Morning News http://youtube.com/watch?v=Eo-r5AqSsig CBS-inspired theme and open How things have changed! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=556oSDBPtAw You can see a 'sad' version of the same theme/opener, used in the Melbourne bulletin about a month ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rbTKz0t2BI I'm pretty sure Ten are the only ones to have a version of their theme for those sort of things - Seven and Nine have different takes on how they handle major events (in Melbourne at least) each time. Ten have had some rather good news promos - here's an ident that fits into their existing set (once again with the Melbourne presenters); there's also a more national version with some of the Sydney-based newsreaders for the Early/Morning/Late news bulletins: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTQoGheKG8c A few news openers I really like that haven't (I don't think) been mentioned here.. 3 News, from TV3 in New Zealand (same owners as Ten coincidentally): Aljazeera Newshour (presented from Doha, London and Washington/Kuala Lumpur): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPEKQt_YqeI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TU4uQsGArc Seven News Melbourne (and two promos they ran not long ago for it): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iwb_z4GDsQU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuhXu52fSNI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuadj1Ht0yg
hinto 0 Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 A couple of clips from Germany's RheinMainTV, which broadcasts in the Frankfurt area.

timgraham 0 Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Interesting to see how the (Channel Four) opening titles have evolved - I think the way they integrate footage relating to their top stories.
fox1 0 Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 TEN-10 Sydney: Eyewitness News with Katrina Lee and Ron Wilson: sport-to-newsreader throw/weather/closer, 1981: TEN-10 Sydney: "10 TV Australia" ID, 1990: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPVZ4pzYQG8 TCN-9 Sydney: National Nine News open, 1989: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFuZWl8RV7U&NR=1 tim, I loved that 1990 Ten news brand and prefer that theme to the current one. Their current theme (the original version) took over from that power-military-drum theme in 1995. About Channel 4, I find it interesting and kinda cool that the hip, stylish Channel 4 has a seriously modern news open, yet the theme is exactly the same as it was in the late 80s.
timgraham 0 Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Deutsche Welle - The Journal, with Heather DeLisle. Also includes some bits of SBS presentation: [yt=425,350]csc-rzKeBX8[/yt] Easily one of the best sets/openers I've ever seen.
WWUpdate 1292 Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Channel 4 News 1992 Open: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvawEW6v0tU Compare it to this 1986 open from KTSP (now KSAZ) in Phoenix: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuyFe2KRb8E
hinto 0 Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 The DW news theme reminds me a bit of the old ABC (Australia) news theme. As for Reporting Scotland... I assume that's the new Pacific Quay studio. Looks okay, I guess they could've used blue instead of red on the desk to match the titles. I know the titles are getting really old by this point, but I still prefer this one over the updated ones used on the other regions.

ED1 0 Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 wow! NWT looks fantastic! are they rolling that look out to the other regions?
timgraham 0 Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 That NWT one is very, very nice. Breakfast show Today recently relaunched in Australia - the graphics are different but the set is much the same - for some reason when I recorded this on a Wednesday they didn't use their opening titles: [yt=425,350]J6ecbRTxHsc[/yt] And Sunday (oddly enough shown on Sunday mornings) got a new set and new male co-presenter: [yt=425,350]5RsAnK99Wcw[/yt] [These are both on the Nine Network for the record.]

fox1 0 Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 ahh, such funny stuff. the good old days, too! I liked both the real and not-so-real Bobbies! Jane Turner (top of the page) is kind of a comic genius, I think! If you haven't seen the CNN chopper clip, I command you: Watch it now! and the others are so good as well. Man, that one you posted is so funny WWU! What is she doing (!)...OK I get checking your computer, but Riz is on-air (!) and, well, she's supposed to be too but she's chucking her pen all over the place, etc.. :)I vaguely remember seeing that clip somewhere a while back. Every time I see it, I laugh. Bobbie is kinda endearing and charming, though with a tendency to be a space cadet at times! 1989: NBC/7 Australia movie intro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXwd_ltVGNE 1989: 7 Australia ID: the only (
