Spring Rubber 609 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Ugh, the way the logo appears in the open is just terrible; looks like a cheap job. Perhaps even worse is the way the talent rejoin just does a hard cut from Canellis back into the newscast without any kind of logo or transitional effect. Keep up the sloppy production, WFLD!

lazynetjunkie 34 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Don't be surprised if you see these new opens/rejoins spreading to other FOX O&O's like some sort of virus.. What they had way back in 1995 is even better.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeters 1805 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 WHBQ uses the exact same cut for their 10PM newscasts. dear god they don't move the graphics down when they're not running the two morning news tickers? What the hell is wrong with this station? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how Robin Robinson feels being one of the only staffers left from back then. It's got to be weird seeing the entire staff change around you over the course of just a few years. I'm surprised Fowler didn't boot her and replace her with a different African American female anchor just for the sake of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The promos for the weather team, Bob and Robin, etc,,, are pretty good (nice and simple), but the new opening and talent rejoin are complete crap. No one seems to be on the same page on anything. GDC does its own thing, same for the Noon show, 9PM and weekends. They just can't get it together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell by Robin Robinson's hairstyle. Also, that is the set WFLD had from 1995 to 1997. Plus, the biggest giveaway is the date in the opening. There was a time when WFLD had a superb graphics department pumping out some of the best stuff for an in-house graphics department. More good '90s WFLD stuff (Starting at the 1:10 time).. It's just a promo but it showcases my favorite of all the theme packages WFLD used. Their NJJ package. It just blows me away that WFLD used to be a great station (eventhough they weren't number 1, they were still a great FOX station) with a great news department and now they've sunk so deep..

Oh yeah, I always loved that music and graphics package back then. I was actually a little sad when they dumped it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the proof...BTW the what-your-face announcer in that promo...I loved his voice. Especiaaly during the WTXF Ten O'Clock News. I watch it all the time for him...and everything else. That was before they got rid of him for that dumb FNC announcer in 2007. I hated them and that voice ever since. But I still watch The Ten O'Clock News. Someone please send me a video of that voice...and their theme song too. I love both of them together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
