If you go back and watch some of the older posts of this open, you'll find that the wording of the v/o changed: it went from "Tennessee's first AND only local news in High Definition" to the one here, that says "Tennessee's first local news in High Definition"...they changed it when WSMV went HD. Either way, WTVF has NAILED it with this open. 615 did a great job with the music, as they always do. They're emmy-award winning for a reason. Probably my favorite open in the country, next to KTLA.
615 Music and Octopus Graphics have combined to make a very bold and strong news opening. Definetly one of the best in the country. Also, WTVF is one of the top 10 CBS affiliates in the nation.
Wow. Very good. Amazing how much better the Sky 5 helicopter graphic transition looks in YouTube HD - it looked really corny in the low-def standard YouTube resolution. I'm also glad they use shots of local landmarks, unlike some local news opens (in various markets) that are all graphics.
Is WTVF still using these graphics on their newscasts they've been using since 2007?

@fortwayne901 Yes they are, which I wish they would update considering all of the changes to downtown Nashville since then.

This looks like a clean version. You did get this off the air?

Yes. It was always done this way by WTVF months since they went HD. There's no transitional fade effect involved.
