Today, a new Abrams & Bettes Local On The 8s opener appeared.
And to add to that, a new 15-second ad for A&B is now showing.
My super-awesome website!

I have yet to see some of these new openers and ads. Does someone mind recording them?

Ooh, they've got the PME desk rotated 180 degrees from the YWT/EE position, putting the couch and a city background behind the desk. Sexy!

Eh.  PM Edition's set is ok.

Except for the fact that Sam Mohr is almost cut off for SD peoples.

They've also got the wall lights blue instead of purple, don't they?

PM Edition's studio is "Studio 9" according to Sam. I like it.

Also, the music on the opener for PME has changed. I liked the original version better.

@Mike: Apparently the whole HD studio is Studio 9 because A&B also are in Studio 9. I don't really understand the numbering.

@Stephen: I think that may be an error. I don't think they've successfully played the opener theme at all today by accident.

I saw PM Edition made its debut in high definition. I loved the opening camera shot with the beautiful studio backdrop!

Unfortunately, I didn't see PM Edition today. Do you mind posting a video?

Now that all three of the evening shows have transitioned to HD, we'll no longer see the EE backdrops in the old studio anymore.

That's very true. Farewell, old backdrop!

Thanks for the video, Steve! :)

Hmmm...I don't know if I like the setup though.  :thinking:
