CircleSeven 1945 Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Yeah, it took 10 weeks to air the weekend talent opens, they also aired the saturday morning talent open this morning. You will get a chance to see it tomorrow morning but I wished they done it when the station started the new HD gigs back on January 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Rubber 618 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Apparently out of fairness to the two anchors, they made two versions of the weekend 10pm opener. One leads off with Karen, and the other leads off with Ravi. I don't think I've ever seen this done in the Chicago market before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
312newswannabe 7 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 WGN has opens that sometime lead off with Alison Payne or Steve Sanders...Tom or Micah...Bob or Jackie...I think the morning ones always start with Larry though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watch the regular weekday talent open/intros. For example, they rotate the weekday 10PM anchor intro each night. One starts out with Ron Magers, another starts out with Kathy Brock.

I thought this might have been the case, but I thought I was imagining things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvnewsthemes 0 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 KNBC was doing this back in 1991 - I have opens for the 6pm news - one has Keith Morrison First, the other has Colleen Williams first... Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosAngeles7 0 Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 KABC did it too in the period just before HD news, though I believe that the female anchor started first a bit more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
