Looks like they're taking a page from WNBC, hence the "New York Nightly News."

Fellow NBC O&O WTVJ has the "South Florida Nightly News". KPNX used to have the "Arizona Nightly News".

Worst...opening...ever.

The graphics are terrible too.

 

Times New Roman? Seriously? Here I thought graphics were supposed to be clear and instantly readable.

That is the worst big market open that I have seen.s Possibly worst than a majority of small market stations i have seen. That is easily in my 10 top bad news opens.

Well, you have to realize that this was an in-house job. So don't expect anything too spectacular and with all the layoffs that KNSD has had and continues to have, frankly i'm surprised that they decided to even attempt to do this. Makes me wonder, with all the changes to the newscasts format and graphics, if KNSD is any closer to HD news.

HD is coming, maybe as soon as next month.

After having lived through WCAU's novocom open, I assure you that's not the worst big market open I've seen... at least KNSD has animation (although it does need a lot of work)
