WORST newscast ever...

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.

You know what...you're right.

 

This IS some horrible stuff here.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Here are highlights from WSVI's newscast in 1987. The newscast back then is incredibly better than the current one. Skip to 2:42.

And the sad part is that open would be a improvment on what they have now.

This station has a new open. It is one of the worst you will ever see. It looks like it's on Powerpoint.

 

 

The sports report is even worse:

I'm not sure if its PPT, but it looks awful.

The new open and theme have been in place since April 23.

There isn't just WSVI. There is also a cable station that became the new CBS affiliate there..weird choice for CBS.

By that picture it looks like he's a big fan of Miami Vice...

Dear God, I hope he accepts my friend request... I wanna see more of that car! Haha!
