The intersection looks like the mousetrap, but I could be wrong ... and agreed it's lame. KMGH went through a string of weird, stupid opens (I think the Real Life, Real News was a bit much, too). This was also using the localized version of the World News Tonight package. I'm glad they have a decent open now.
Agree on hkfreak's comments. They were coming off of the Real Life Real News era...and looked like it. Not one of KMGH's best opens :P Thankfully this didn't last for long....they changed to the current logo a few months after this.
@hkfreak Probably because they were waiting for TVbD to get back to them about what would become their late 1990s package - or they needed to recover from Real Life Real News and saw "NEW: ABC News Affiliate Music Package" and jumped at the chance to have a temporary look in place that wasn't so bad.
I still like this logo though. Modern looking. They had the worst announcer and music together with one of their better logos.

This music was also used on another ABC 7: KLTV in Tyler/Longview, TX.

Definitely on the flyover, the Mousetrap, but that looks nothing like it on that other dark clip... looks very deserted.

Again, this is so cheesy, poorly-made, and cheap. I really don't get why they show such a shot of that intersection.
