There are only two other stations I know of still using the same news theme they did in 1987; WJZ (Chroma Cues) and WTOC (Gari's Newschannel package).
I think I like the later variation of this open - with the revised FOX 2 version of the logo - a little better. The transition from the "2" to the bay area is a little rough here.
Agreed, though, that in all of its variations, this is probably one of the best news opens of all time.
This open is so quiet and peaceful at the beginning, then probably one of the most majestic local news opens ever produced IMO. Just some amazing work was put into this.
I thought Scott Chapin on the KTVU promo at 0:01 sec started in 1997. that is strange here. I miss KTLA's Ron Boltz doing the News Open for KTVU. He brought stature to Dennis Richmond for KTVU and Hal Fishman for KTLA.
Ron Boltz still did the KTVU opens/promos at this time, but Scott Chapin did most of the other promos for KTVU and later KICU when Cox Enterprises bought the station in 2000.
Thumbs up if your parents told you to go to bed when this intro came on

It's a shame they junked the theme.

I miss Ron Boltz doing the opens here from KTLA and KTVU. Its Incredible that KTVU is the only Fox Station to not go tabloidal like the Fox O&O's do.
