bhratbrat 418 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I have to say the ones from Guam I can give a big excuse for. WTTG I hope that was just MC messing up. I also dont like the pre-tease graphics, but the open somehow ties it in. I saw the KTVH open and just thought ok..playing it super safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CSD doesn't get what the purpose is. The second is decent, but the graphics are a VideoHive template. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2857 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) The WWAY open reminds me a lot of opens I've seen in Mexico and places... the sort of random imagery, the jerky animation... Something like this... Edited September 6, 2019 by Samantha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ntropolis 590 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) I'll nominate this one from WCIV... that unnecessarily huge text. eek It presumably replaced a fairly decent open with Ultra News... I don't know if there may have been another open with Overture prior to 2004/05 Edited September 6, 2019 by Ntropolis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a 4-5 year stretch WCIV had poor graphics and music. Albritton treated them as the red-headed step child in their company for years. They hired Leslie Lyles from St. Louis (who used to be on WCBD), and still couldn’t get past a very distant 3rd in the ratings behind WCSC and WCBD. Even in the early 2000s, they were still running CREFLO DOLLAR at noon. Almost unheard of for a network station in a top 100 market. Their set had this interesting brick look. Then around 2003 they changed to a look showing the Ravenel Bridge (which didn’t open until 2005). It wasn’t until the last 4-5 years when Sinclair started putting money into it that the station started getting more equal with 2 and 5.

This video is Exhibit A, narrowly beating out the lack of news on WSYT, on why I was so vehemently against the abomination of Terrier Media of ever being. Even with Cox's management poised to take over Northwest's stations, The Delta Stations included, there is going to be a TON of work to be done at the ex-Northwest stations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, you could get better looking templates for the same price or less (international channels using videohive templates comes to mind), but I feel like this could be improved with a few slight edits especially with the text. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was uncommon, but not necessarily a one-off. If memory serves me right, WHP was showing preachers at noon going way back into the 90s when they were owned by locally-based Dame Media. Which I always saw as odd since noon was the one timeslot where they might have had a fighting chance against WGAL with the lead-in of TPiR.
