Several powerful spots from WBZ in Boston.  Great work by my colleagues as they dealt with this incredible tragedy and the aftermath.



 

Boston Strong

WCVB in Boston produced this beautiful spot to commemorate the Boston Marathon bombings. 

Behind the Scenes: My Name is Ducis

WPVI often does "behind the scenes" videos of the making of their promos... very cool.

Glad they're able to make these extras now and again.

My Name is Ducis

When you have an anchor with a unique name - it gives you a unique opportunity to market that person. Name recognition is key - and this station has some fun with their sports guy Ducis.

NBC26 Winter Image

I get cold just looking at all of the snow they have here!

Check out these spots from Wisconsin and they tell me the only thing that needs explanation is in the first spot, Green Bay residents near Lambeau Field snowblow their yards and charge fans to park in their lawn.

KPTV Outfitters Guide

A visually interesting spot out of Portland.  This station has really branded themselves nicely as a newscast for people who love to brave the weather(a key emotional driver for the people there who have to endure so much rain)

My only complaint about this spot -- there is no station logo on it.  ???

An eye-catching spot from WFIE in Indiana.   Nicely done.

Ready for the Olympics! from Brandon Ridge on Vimeo.

WDRB: See the Difference

WDRB recently produced a series of spots highlighting why they're better than the competition.

The first spot below is fairly odd -- they say they ditched "breaking news" because it was a gimmick and a marketing ploy. 

"We know you're smarter than that," the on-camera talent says.

They then proceed to show you a man dressed up in a fox costume labeled "Snow Fox", their weather mascot... you know... a gimmick.

Oh the irony.



Here are a couple more:

WSMV "Parking Problems"

This station does a nice job of selling a sweeps story on parking.  I found myself wondering what was actually going on.  Nice work Nashville!

"Parking Problems" promo spot from Brian Hallett on Vimeo.

WFTV Sweeps Super Tease

This spot gives the impression that WFTV in Orlando is all over several interesting stories.

They're certainly not giving up against the Olympics.

What do you think of spots that "give away" the stories you're planning to do for sweeps?  Does it give the competition a chance to play catch up?  Would you risk it?
