The open is ok from an artistic standpoint, I think you need to look at the atrocity of everything but the open.

cjiniowa 2 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 With all of it's funky zooming, the WKBW open reminds me a lot of the opening to Hawaii Five-0. Ya almost expect to see Jack Lord standing on top of 7 Broadcast Plaza. Yikes.

RGSJenkins 434 Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHzxcqUvncw This was WFTV old open & graphics. This is WFTV's new open & graphics. Although EWN is still being used and the updated graphics aren't bad, but that production theme in the open is . Read the info box for more details. On a separate note, YouTube suspended my account because an WXTV open I uploaded in August. I have a new account now, RGSJenkins88 (new main account) and RGSJenkins8 (back up account) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/3540-the-worst-news-opens-of-all-time/page/4/#findComment-49749 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackBauer112 0 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Boy, I feel sorry about that man, My old account JBauer2635 got booted in July 2007 because I uploaded some stuff that was questionable. Now I have JackBauer152 and ptb267ii as my accounts although the first account is in limbo due to previous copyright claims, however, I use a 2ndary account to upload my vids.

Weeters 1915 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 It's pretty sad when internet newscasts have better opens than a licensed TV station. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/3540-the-worst-news-opens-of-all-time/page/4/#findComment-49800 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliverolang 41 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 WMC 1984: Rather long open, cheesy theme, cheesy graphics. Don't get me started on that tuba! KNSD, then KCST 1986: What, you had to have sketches of the anchors and not real photos?

TennTV1983 804 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 WMC 1984: Rather long open, cheesy theme, cheesy graphics. Don't get me started on that tuba! My first impression when hearing that music made me think someone was attempting to do the "brown noise" on a tuba. Definitely not one of their better opens during that period.

ABCEyewitnessNews 0 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Here's a KSAT Noon open from '97: [yt]dQLAWok8GwQ[/yt] Scott Chapin is this open's ONLY saving grace. The cut of The One And Only they used sounds like a wounded cat. :lol: This cut is from Series 2; it's better than most of the other Series 2 themes I've heard.

bmasters1 403 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 KSAT 12s early 90s open: NO MUSIC BESIDES Random Orchestral Hits Charlie Van Dyke: "You're Watching San Antonio's News Station. KSAT 12. SALTER!. GHALLAGER! (sp?) This, is 12News Tonight." AWFUL!! I saw that before from TV Ark, and that's not much of an opening. Maybe those random orchestral hits were an attempt to make it sound hard-hitting. Anyway, KSAT could have done a lot better than that, I think. There was much room for improvement there. This just screams "bottom-of-the-barrel." Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/3540-the-worst-news-opens-of-all-time/page/4/#findComment-51769 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Buck 35 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 KIEM finally has a new open and theme music. It's a bit better than before, though it's still very small-market.

newsfanatic 4 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 That has probably got to be the worst cut of Eyewitness news...... The shadows walking up at :04 look like Zombies.. The voiceover sounds spooky, as does the music... And to top it all off, the graphics are bland.....
