bm10k 1 Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 KSDK's Opens from the Late 80's to the Late 90's it cries small market. They dominate the ratings in St. Louis, But then again it's St. Louis. nothing but KTVI, KPLR, And KMOV, As rival news operations
Oliverolang 41 Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 KENS Open 1995. Actually impressive open, but Dan Cook doesn't look like the happiest man in the world:
RGSJenkins 435 Posted February 2, 2010 Author Posted February 2, 2010 KARK-TV open 2009 (Little Rock, AK)
Ntropolis 600 Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 KARK-TV open 2009 (Little Rock, AK) That's not too bad. The B/W anchor still photos are a bit discordant. I really think the last couple opens WEWS had before adopting the new Scripps look were the worst "recent" opens.
cityprod 9 Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 The open is ok from an artistic standpoint, I think you need to look at the atrocity of everything but the open. The atrocity of Five News is pretty unmistakeable, but I just don't understand the open at all. Makes no sense to me whatsoever.
Weeters 1981 Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 KARK-TV open 2009 (Little Rock, AK) I think it'd make a great morning show open... evening news, not so much.
Viakenny 4 Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 The atrocity of Five News is pretty unmistakeable, but I just don't understand the open at all. Makes no sense to me whatsoever. here's the opening sequence to a regular Five News bulletin (the 7pm edition was cancelled some time ago): and the opening to Five News when Natasha Kaplinsky took over, before Five adopted its current logo:
taylor2646 0 Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 This is the station that I intern at. It's The University of Alabama's station. It's fully commercial... but that doesn't mean we have monties out the wazooh. Here's our current open... the open itself isn't too bad... it's the sparkly music. Keep in mind, all the stuff in that montage is current. I recorded it about a week ago from my DVR. [YT][/YT]
C Block 1574 Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 KCNC used to use that music...in the 80's. I think the main issue with that open is the graphics, not the music. That "This is WVUA" rotating box looks really odd.
fl19ga114sc105 3 Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 KSAT 12 10pm news open 1994 (I like it but...)- Watching the start of that and you almost envision a bunch of business men in downtown Tokyo in the 1970s screaming in poor dubbed English "It's Twelve-Zilla We Must Flee!"
RGSJenkins 435 Posted March 10, 2010 Author Posted March 10, 2010 From the magical land of KTVK in 1987, it's NewsChannel 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-2w2g5Dx_8

[yt][/yt] I feel sooo bad for people who live in markets like this and have to see this less than high school level broadcast... Just Sad.
kjohnson 17 Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Ah Yes, Image VII by Gilmer Music Productions. Those packages have good, if not dated sound to them. They scream small market. Station presentation isn't that bad. We've all seen much, much worse.
Weeters 1981 Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 Looks like WSVI has got a new look. I'm about ready to give them some graphics.
RGSJenkins 435 Posted March 19, 2010 Author Posted March 19, 2010 Looks like WSVI has got a new look. It's the traveling sperm! ...with Wes Small.
tw-804 194 Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 (*sigh*) I thought we're done making fun of WSVI...
kjohnson 17 Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Is that station even trying? I don't doubt their commitment to keeping the community informed, but the graphics look they came out of Windows Movie Maker. They also overcompressed their video for YouTube. We need another station makeover campaign. I nominate WSVI.

I don't doubt their commitment to keeping the community informed, but the graphics look they came out of Windows Movie Maker. They also overcompressed their video for YouTube. We need another station makeover campaign. I nominate WSVI. Close, those lower thirds come from iMovie. They didn't even bother to change the color of the lower third from the default (that subdued plum color). The fact that they use free software to produce and edit their "newscast" and are so cheap that they haven't even ponied up the $100 for even Final Cut Express really proves that their effort is half-assed at best. Sure, perhaps they don't need a live control room, remote trucks, etc. but with just a few hundred bucks, they could use better software and better workflows to make a better quality news program that would be on-par with college film students who use Final Cut.
kjohnson 17 Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Which is what we use. FCP makes all the difference. I'd say $2500 bucks and they could get up to about market 100. Right now, they are better than Glendive's "newscast" but only just.
RGSJenkins 435 Posted September 21, 2010 Author Posted September 21, 2010 Oh, yes, I got more opens to scare you with. Let's try WVLA in Baton Rouge. Open: Talent: Close:
Oliverolang 41 Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 Oh, yes, I got more opens to scare you with. Let's try WVLA in Baton Rouge. Open: Talent: Close: Luckily I don't live in the BR area anymore LOL!
SFTV 542 Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 Oh, yes, I got more opens to scare you with. Let's try WVLA in Baton Rouge. Open: Talent: Close: the "at 5:00" font looks like they just added it thru Final Cut Pro. smh
