The 7News Drama Llama Open

Oh it’s back. A brand new drama open for The Night Team in true 7News style.

A few years ago they used to do these teases for the late news a lot more often. Back then they’d have Craig and Laurie Jennings standing on the second floor where the big giant 7 logo used to be saying something like “It’s 10 o’clock and the night team is on” then the tease would roll. Made me wonder what it took to go over those rails.

And of course who can forget the promo with Craig and Laurie where they got spun around and poped on screen like they were beamed down from the starship Enterprise.

When I watch 7 and the stations here in Seattle the difference is shocking to say the least. Even the FOX station, KCPQ, is subdued and very conservative. They could easily put you to sleep. They are slower paced then even WTVJ. I can see why everyone who comes to Miami and sees 7 is so captivated or really hates them, they truly are one of a kind.

Video after the jump. The tease alone is 1 minute 30 seconds without the open! I thought they shortened the opens to keep it short?!

Sunday Sports Xtra HD Debut

What an into!

/hat tip to TMBtD/

Who needs drugs when you’ve got 7!

Who needs to get high when you can just watch 7 News (and get the same experience)! A very flashy montage by TMBtD of the new 7 HD:

Very VERY flashy… lots of “swooooshes”…. very…. 7 News like. It’s what you would expect. To me, it feels like I’m on something when I watch it. I find my self having to look away from the TV screen due to fear of seizures… But hey, that’s just me.

Who Makes 7News So Pretty?

Someone by the name of BK who works at WSVN’s graphics department. Well, him and a couple other people but he posted this behind the scenes video from his day at work creating one of the gajilion transitions, bumpers, and teases seen on 7News every day.

WSVN and WPLG now on LiveNewsCameras.com

A reader dropped a note saying WSVN and WPLG have been added to livenewscameras.com

WPLG has one feed, I presume only their regular newscasts.

WSVN has two feeds, the one on their website which broadcasts on-air and a second feed that shows different thngs – mainly their weather computer, Skyforce dispatches and occasionally a live press conferences. Right now there is a police chase going on at the moment

you can find both feeds at the top of the second page

When 7 Was All Nice and Homely

From a time when WSVN was NBC. When it was sweet, innocent and took its Ritalin regularly.
A bit cheesy and yet so … normal!? For 7 anyways
