Spring Rubber 607 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Pretty sure it's *highly* intentional that the opens in this package don't have a voiceover. WNBC dropped their v/o as well, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5262 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Chicago and New York are the only voiceless opens. I'm giving WMAQ a pass, though, because... the opens are so short, a VO can be screwed up too easily and run long/get cut off, I never thought Ed Hopkins' voice meshed well with the O&O theme, and unlike WNBC, at least WMAQ uses a theme in the open.

JacobC 44 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 The old NBC O&O Package music is back but the L.A. Groove is on the opening. And they start at 4am, already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidwestTV 1173 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 WCAU's was different from the rest. I like that. Regarding WMAQ, am I the only one that hhhhaaatttteesss whatever cut of the NBC O&O package they use? Especially the morning one. It's more fitting of a morning lifestyle/cooking show. Frankly I don't think I like the whole package. Tries too hard to be chipper and upbeat and laid back. It's like a ripoff "Tower." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see little to no similarities. Yes, I still hate the morning cut, but I actually this the main cut fits these Look N better than F, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but I like it better with N than LA Groove.

A3N 996 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 KNSD's AM meteorologist mentioned to her FB Live viewers today to tune in on Monday for some big changes... So most likely they'll switch to Look N on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A3N 996 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 And hopefully introduce some new studio effects like different lighting color schemes... I doubt it. They're pretty dead set on the blue lighting. The only change they made was lowering the shade to a lighter-ish blue than what they first used. They only use red for when they do a Breaking News cut-in--never during a newscast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newstudent 43 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Here's WCAU's open: I dont particularly like the open, its to short and generic (at least it has a VO), it doesn't tell you that its in philadelphia through the use of the word philadelphia or philadelphia imagery. But overall I like the graphics, especially when they use the liberty bell in a transition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The orchestral feel to it and use of, what I think to be, actual chimes or a similar sounding instrument. Either way, the morning cut is sooo awful.

I think they need to bring back the NBC O&O package from 360. That was a great theme! I agree that LA Groove does not fit on WCAU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not the only one that heard that theme in their head. Very addicting. I wish they brig it back too. If MYCTYW can be 6's long serving theme, this could be 10's. -- Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they use the 360 theme for everything but the open and the close. I am also fond of the theme.

jbnews 344 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Why would they use two themes? Pick one! I think it should be the 360 Theme. It is much more exciting and fits WCAU much better than stupid L.A. Groove. I am surprised more stations didn't pick it up. At most, 3 stations used it, but two of them dropped it. Unfortunate.
