jestbiteme 13 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 That ain't Times Square. Are these guys trying out for a vacancy for MSNBC? If so, one of them should have worked in a "tingling feeling" reference. I just realized that the background layer in that open is the Mac OS X "Flurry" screensaver.

Ntropolis 596 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 oh my god it sounds like a crappy garageband made theme for a horror movie. It's a Videohelper track... WTKR used it in a promo a couple years back. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/4977-worst-newscast-ever/page/2/#findComment-49467 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProButtonPusher 230 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 This station apparently hasn't mastered the art of VO over your talking head to help convey the story..and was the open made in iMovie?

kjohnson 17 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 V.I. News reminds me of what my campus newscast used to look like...only worse. Oh, and our content was (and still is) better.

JimmySand9 0 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 V.I. News reminds me of what my campus newscast used to look like...only worse. Oh, and our content was (and still is) better. I couldn't agree more. At least college reporters try to act professional. These VI folks look like kids pretending to be newscasters. I bet people over there miss WBNB.

eyewitness_news 5 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Okay, I'll bite....not to hard, though. VI News' graphics makes me want to throw up. I mean, the bottom circle of the 8 is being used to house the ABC logo and the colors.....OMG! But I can't knock the college reporters. I am with kjohnson and JimmySand9 on this one.

l14dap 1 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Wes Small's report on a Jellyfish is hilarious. Have you been stung by a Portuguese Man-of-War? They're quite common in Hawaii, and the sting can be pretty painful. Great to see them attempting to do some form of public awareness, but this report doesn't do anyone any justice.

johnnya2k6 171 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I bet people over there miss WBNB. Yeah, WBNB used to put out a high-quality newscast for the Virgin Islands. Too bad Hurricane Hugo knocked it off the air permanently, and their tape library destroyed.

90stvland 1 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Here are highlights from WSVI's newscast in 1987. The newscast back then is incredibly better than the current one. Skip to 2:42.

sctvhound 27 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 This station has a new open. It is one of the worst you will ever see. It looks like it's on Powerpoint.
