  • THIS IS EYEWITNESS NEWS AT 6... nice.. succinct right to the point

  • "This Is Eyewitness News at 6". Pretty much needs that and that's it. Other than that, it's not a big deal. I don't get the big deal about being "big market". Just look good enough to be on TV and get the news in a tightly bundled package.

  • @DrSurprise

    They are slowly making the change. Its not something thats happening overnight..

  • Well, now I see New York lost its title for "big market" quality newscasts. Sad to say the least. You can have "big market" quality packaging and still be to the point in my opinion.

    Even if they cut on the packaging, the news quality will still be just as cheap like the new NG cuts or the cheap graphics. Local news peaked more than a decade ago. Now they are on their last stand, hate to admit it.

  • Nice seamless transition into the 6. No nonsense, no clutter, no honestly pointless announcer VO. I like it. The music choice was very smart, as it's not only attention-grabbing but also pretty difficult to ignore.

  • i don't like it. at least now they have a new theme song but my problem is that it does not have the fit for wabc's broadcasts as the old music package did; just like how wnbc's current music package is compared to its past. and having no announcer is not good at all, i remember everyone in san francisco complaining when kntv removed its announcer in the openings in its current 2008 package with wnbc's 2003 music.

  • Yeah Talent Opens are no longer gonna occur and WABC is currently the only station in this DMA that features talent opens, and it will likely be the last, as the new direction is to get as much news in as possible by maximizing time. That means gaining an extra 30 seconds by removing the talent open. For those who mentioned the music change, its something that will occur over a slow time frame, its not gonna all be done overnight. The voiceovers by Charlie Van Dyke have yet to be recorded..

  • @weatherpro93

    well why is the 11:00 pm segment still use the old theme?

  • @DrSurprise no this is not a 1 time thing..theyve been doing it since last week..

  • WCBS isn't what it used to be ether, I consider it like an affiliate like station in the biggest market.
