KPRC (HD) Local 2 News Generic Open, 2008

KPRC's new HD look debuted yesterday with the introduction of new graphics, music ("Viral" by 360) and HD format cameras (both studio & field).

Here is the open used for the weekend morning newscast at the moment. I believe this to be a generic open (it was used on evening newscasts yesterday) and the specific ones will be introduced later on.

Huge improvement over the cheap-looking stuff they had before, esp. the opens. Tracking the Tropics graphic looks like garbage tho. In other words, you can tell what was done in-house and what wasn't.

Actually, the "Tracking the Tropics", "Decision 2008" and a few other segment opens are from the previous graphics package that was done at the station. Most of the franchises haven't begun using updated graphics...

for them to be in #10 market they should be O&O by nbc

[Houstontvnews]

With NBC selling off it's O&Os as it has in the recent past... yeah. I'm sure they'd really love that.

Like the new graphics in HD, hate "Viral" they should've stayed with "Hometown News", though.

Love the graphics....absolutely DETEST the music...

[jdsynchs]

Agreed.

Too bad they didn't have The "Today" open ready with the vamp.

[ktrkhoustonfan]

Yea he's the weekend weather guy.for morning

[OTownNews]

The customary vamp after the main theme works best.

Okay the open was great, but why the hell would you have that music afterwards, "Oh, here you see a patrol car crashed" and someone potentially got hurt or lost their life, and you're playing happy music, please, have some sympathy and DO NOT play music during times like that, it's better to have it off.

Khambrel was a news anchor for a while at this same station up unitl about 2005 or 06 then became a producer for the newscast and decided he wanted to be back on air, and decided that he would come back in weather.
