Gannett Station Open Montage - (December 2010)

These are all of the openings for every Gannett station out there (not including the satellite stations). I tried to find the best quality and most recent versions of each open but some of the smaller market ones I had a hard time tracking down. However, I was able to compile every single one. If you find/have a better version of some of the opens in here, let me know and I'll try to include it. Some of the HD ones that I downloaded didn't download in HD, so that is why they are a bit grainy. I did my best though...

Thanks to each of you for the following:

Awesome video, thanks for including my video. I do have a newer one on my page with the new voiceover for WZZM.

[UpstateNYTV]

@NickGVSU yeah I'm actually making an update video and I've already started on it and that video that you just mentioned is in it.

[growingup15]

[UpstateNYTV]

@growingup15 Sometime this spring I'll update this

[Jazzoulphrodisiac]

WCSH and KUSA were from TVNewsRI.

[UpstateNYTV]

@Jazzoulphrodisiac Thank you!

WKYC actually managed to ditch the Gannett news theme! They are now using 615 Music's "Propulsion" - and a pretty killer cut at that.

@myronfalwell WGRZ went HD today and their first newscast in HD is at 11pm. It's a shame that they had to change a good logo to what they are using now with the HD broadcasts.

[MegaDex24]

some gannett stations formly had wacked opens, now thoses stations got better opens, and some stations formly had great opens, now they don't.

WXIA (11Alive) Too rushed.

W*USA (TV9) :They are the Gannett flagship, lest they are doin' something right on their GFX, oh and bring back Mike Lewis and the "EWN" name, please?

KPNX (12NEWS): Better as always with Chuck Van Dyke at the V/O

WTSP (10News): Got the South FLA look back

KARE11: Same theme from '96, KEEP. THE. THEME.

WKYC (Channel 3): Like the sponsorship, keep it up.

KXTV (News10) Love the update!

K*USA (9NEWS) still got their 1984-present logo, what a record!

[videonut33]

@myronfalwell you mean "channel3news" branding underneath the 3 logo like they did in 2003?

[teamjackattack10]

WXIA: Too quick and imo the worst open in ATL WUSA: someone said, go back to eyewitness news brand KPNX: needs a update WTSP: one of the best, no more 10 connects mess KARE: unique as always WKYC: just no KXTV: like hd intro, open no KSDK: Really? WZZM: Getting better WFMY: lower budget, what you expect WTLV: Got money and put crappy gfx out WGRZ: Williams idk on v/o KTHV: noooooo WBIR: love 2nd cut of music WCSH: ok WLTX: HD open is great WMAZ: my favorite, only problem they need hd and update

[myronfalwell]

@tommyboy6181 That is such a substantial improvement. If only the hideous "Gannett music" would finally be disposed of, it would be a knockout home run. Of course anything WGRZ does is automatically 1000% better than anything the bankrupt WKBW tries to trot out.

[tommyboy6181]

@tommyboy6181 Also since WGRZ started the Rundown (which later became standard on all Gannett stations), they also have the newest looking Rundown which actually matches the graphics package.

[tommyboy6181]

@myronfalwell Yes, WGRZ did go back to using Roberta Salomon when they were named the Best Newscast in NY state. The opens were redone to show that.

Although now Roberta was replaced by the anchors themselves in the opens as they now use a cold open with newly updated graphics. However, Roberta does most of the station promos now. The cold open is probably the 5th or 6th version they've done since the new graphics came out in October 2008.
