It’s on – watch it live here
So far so good, but they’re trying way too hard to pace it fast.
This steady cam although cool it starts to feel way overdone – I mean using it 3 times before the anchor tosses to reporter! – overkill.
You’re not 7
Same thing happens during their other newscasts (we don’t really need the steady cam to fly to Tony so he can finish Jackie’s sentence before going to the report).
Is it just me or is Nespral about to run out of breath reading those stories!? Feels rushed
Content – pretty good. Definitely light on junk. The longer stories were 60-90 seconds, shorter stories – not sure what those are called, usually 3 in a row – those were about 10 seconds each.

OMG!…..with lots of Steadycam shots that poor cameraman must be really tired, walking from Satcontrol-to studio A-down to Newsroom, damn, we might as well see a shot of Jackie doing the news from the restrooms, and since when Joe rose is funny?
Well, fast-paced news or not, Jackie Nespral always seems to be in a rush. She talks WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY TOO FAST! It angers me! lol. But yeah, they overdo the steady cam shots too.
for all the talk of being “different” it’s just like any other newscast on 10, 7, or 4… some local and national news.. some weather… some sports.. some chit chat… thanks. but no thanks
Only saw a few minutes, but Jackie looked great with the new hair. She always rushes (somehow I get the feeling they want her to be like that); I think she’d be much better if she slowed down. Rose is a buffoon and should stick to radio.
Why did they start a local newscast with a natonal story? NN did a fine job of covering Iraq. Why would WTVJ then lead their local news with Iraq? That was a really bad call.

I watched it on the debut and friday
looks like they fixed up the logo (removed the black background)
and also removed some of the Steadycam shots…..
still no reason to watch this over regular news or whatever else is on
exactly
