I sorta agree with Bororeed, in terms of choice of video for the open. A subdivision and golf course could be anywhere other than Central Florida. Eyewitness News was better than any production cut that was used here (I think it's "Always On The Scene"). And yes, you're number one, but hey, you can have coverage and style, too. One friend told me, god forbid if channel 9 removed all their graphics and music, they'd still be #1. Why don't you guys do like WSB?
The opening and music package is horrible. The image used as well is a subdivision that could be anywhere, and doesn't capture Central Florida or Orlando at all.
I happen to think the video for the open looks pretty darn good. Video like that is supposed to be generic to a certain extent so as not to isolate any one section of our audience. And how again does a neighborhood around 3 lakes, on a golf course not capture central Florida? By the way, we're #1 in this market so I think we're doing something right. And I noticed you're a fan of some WESH videos, so if you like poorly written news and bad editorial discretion keep watching WESH!
I'm only a fan of the opening graphics and music. News is another thing, besides, I'm in the Jacksonville DMA, and you wanna talk about bad journalism?! You can see I'm a fan of other locations like WTVF in Nashville, where I am originally from. I also happen to have a good friend that was an intern meteorologist at WESH, so that was the first station in the Orlando market I became familiar with.
A neighborhood with 3 lakes and a golf course could be anywhere in this country, and doesn't capture anything outside of cookie-cutter sprawl development. A nice shot of the skyline, like at 11pm would've been good, or a fly over of a suburb downtown like Sanford or Winter Park would've been nice. The music on the other hand, Eyewitness News was better than this current theme.
I heard that Obsahl is leaving the WFTV 11pm newsblock and being replaced by Josh Benson

Bob Opsahl has been with WFTV Channel 9 Eyewitness News since 1978. He has made Channel 9 Eyewitness News the success it is today.

Now WSB's new graphics are nothing short of excellent.
