With Monica Attard being named the new host of Media Watch for 2006 I thought it was about time I uploaded the opener of this season which was brought to us by Liz Jackson. I really liked Liz, but she’s not disappearing altogether as she is returning to Four Corners.

I also thought I’d finally add Spicks and Specks which has a very cool opening with the theme done by The Dissociatives, it was one of my favourite new shows of this year and I’m glad its coming back.

The ABC changed its news opener and theme on Australia Day this year along with new sets and wide screen broadcasting for the bulletin. Given the ten months I’ve now had to digest it, I’d have to say I like it a lot more then I did then, I think the opener is pretty cool, I like how the city names appear and fade as the “ABCNews” banner covers the globe, and while the music isn’t as dramatic as the old theme its not the travesty I probably once thought it was (on a side note, Triple J’s remix of the old news theme remains my ringtone).

I think Virginia Hausegger does an excellent job, and with only Win News to compete with locally she doesnâ€™t have much competition.

And now for something slightly different, this footage is the ABC news opener without any actual news items or voice overs.

SBS has relaunched its news broadcast with new graphics and a new set… I think the video speaks for itself.

After making the big switch from SBS to ABC last year David and Margeret renamed themselves ‘At the Movies’ and got a new opening sequence, I really like it. Their old show on SBS, ‘The Movie Show’ got some new hosts and I might upload that opener as well.

This opening sequence was done for the ABC by Australian visual effects house Animal Logic.
