Viper550 291 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 The UGN one is very cheap (just a stock BG). A slightly newer iteration is also included for comparison (with use of the "splash" elements of the Start Here branding. Their current logo puts cheap Photoshop gloss on the 10 to make it match the current ABC logo) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/3540-the-worst-news-opens-of-all-time/page/12/#findComment-197277 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2895 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 http://www.southernmedia-nmsa.com/#4,0,315 New from Music House. Well, the KHIZ open that comes from is admittedly underwhelming (I found both of those). Music House is a UK library so it makes sense it didn't see as much use stateside.

Devon 37 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 This is WKJG (now WISE and now a CW affiliate) from Fort Wayne, Indiana from 1997 (video has the whole newscast.) It was like someone learned how to make something in 3D and then spent no time learning how to make it look good. To be fair, in less than two years in October 1999 they launched a brand new graphics package that was incredible for that market.

fox2 191 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 First, those CONGO credits are ridiculous! And it staggers me that the station could use those ugly-ass fonts on their open. And the talent shot framing is not at all matched. Is this made by a 10-year-old!? And do they have hairspray at the station? Wowsers.
