TheNewsTV 146 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I thought Mornings @ 10 would use the open one they use on this promo, but they used the traditional open. The opening with the talents disappeared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad 276 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Im curious as to what open did they use for Mornings@10 and also is it the same cut? Hasn't been posted to YouTube yet and when I watch it on the streaming platforms (YouTube TV), seems to be cut out. Still in awe that these are the graphics that WABC is using, so incredibly refreshing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The background landscape also remains the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadgeek Adam 170 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Look, I thought the complaining about the old package was a bit much over a lot of nothing. I don't think it was ever as terrible as claimed. This is a very slick package. We'll probably see it replaced in 6-7 years as is general timeline. (Even this package lasted longer than most of them have.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorningNews 1290 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I don’t like the talent opens very much. The opens themselves are dynamic but adding the still images of talent looks off to me. I wonder if videos would be too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlnews2 557 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 yeah - the talent opens aren't that good. The transitions don't match the music and it's too busy / crowded. Why WABC insists on holding onto them I'll never know. They did the same thing with their 2012 package, butcher a good open by cramming talent shots into the open.

mountainave 530 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 The talent openings and transitions are too boxy for me (see @TheNewsTV's screenshots above), but overall seems like a nice dynamic update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealNews18 125 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 The noon open debuted (first time watching this week) officially with David Sandra and Brittany.. question for the 5am opening are they using one with Mike Shirleen and Brittany or are they still using generic?

Though she wasn't on the 17th at 5pm she was at 11pm. First time I think since November Bill and Sade have been on together. Bill seemed very happy to have her back in the closing seconds of the 11pm broadcast. Liz also has been a bit sporadic with appearances as well.

At the very least, I like that talent opens still exist. It allows anchors to own their slot rather than being interchangeable. They're also more grand than the boring two second opens we get on stations like WNBC. Overall, the new ABC O&O package isn't the best BUT it's better than anything WABC has had in decades and I'm just greatful for that. I enjoy their use of gradient blue L3 rather than the over proliferated paper white box look. Edited January 19 by MediaZone4K 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WABC7NYFan 5 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Looks like Sade will be off for a bit. At the end of the 11pm news, she said she "won't be seeing you for a while" and Bill replied "you've got some knee surgery coming up". Hope she has a quick recovery.

Roadgeek Adam 170 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Sade also sounded ill a couple nights ago. Also, we seem to have acquired Phil Taitt from News 12 for morning reports. Considering they've been short a morning person since Derrick Waller understandably walked away, I'm guessing he's the replacement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope she gets a speedy recovery, knee surgery is no joke, depending on the type of surgery she's having.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
