7’s Newshizzle

That would be WHDH’s version of News Never Stops. They are getting WSVN-ified more and more:
Weird how even a sister station can’t copy the original … WSVN’s version is much better, I think. But they have the sexier newsplex which WSVN didn’t copy that well either.Boston Globe writer Johnny Diaz takes a look at the psychology behind tv news promos and polls a marketing expert, a design student and a writer on what they think about the promos of 5 Boston area stations.

Says one of the people about WHDH’s News Never Stops promo:

“Oh my God, it’s a hip-hop video! It’s newshizzle! It’s local TV talent trapped inside a giant rave! I love the total idiotic shamelessness on display here. And I happily admit that I’ve been chanting ‘News Never Stops’ at my wife all day. Can I get a copy of the single on iTunes?”

Yeah, that about sums it up
Is the newshizzle working for you?

  1. WLVI airs its own version of the ad where Scott Chapin just says “Ten, Ten, Teh-Teh-Ten-Ten, Seven…” Just FYI.

  2. I like theirs more than WSVN’s, simply b/c it has more behind the scenes camera action. I like that in a commercial. WSVN has too much city showing. WE KNOW WHAT MIAMI LOOKS LIKE!

  3. I really don’t like how there are, like, 80 (7) news stations across the country. When I watch the news, I want to feel like the station is specially tuned towards the county/area I live in, not that it is some fast food franchise! *roll*

  4. WSVN’s one still better.. like i said they have the best promos in Local News.. Just like CNN has the best in Cable News!
