-slightly confused by the multiple Circle 7s-

Because some bean counter figured they could use it for a midnight newscast also. "I saved you money boss".

Interesting that the noon newscast uses "News at 12" instead of "News at Noon".

"You sure look like a winner" seems to indicate that this campaign was "The One 4 All" - WJKW used the same tag line in their version of said campaign. NMSA says WBZ debuted The One 4 All in 1979, so if it WAS that campaign, either WITI was one of the earliest to use it, or perhaps it was actually originally written for WITI and not WBZ. If only more clips of WITI were out there...

KMST in January 1993! A year before becoming KCCN, KMST's (probable) last look as channel 46 used the CBS affiliate graphics and music of the period: And in the early 90s, as some of these station promos attest, they went early prime: On a more somber note, June 16 marked the 30th anniversary of a fatal chopper incident in Jacksonville which killed two people who were in WTLV's helicopter and injured a third. This WJXT clip analyzes the problems of Hughes 500C-model aircraft, including the problem with a tail rotor that caused the WTLV bird to crash. The package includes footage of a camera shot from the chopper as it began to spin. The Army and Border Patrol had just discontinued a similar model aircraft for the same issue. Furthermore, the tail rotor problem had caused a fatal crash of WFMY's aircraft the previous year - which is also shown on video.

I do know Frank Gari did at least one campaign for WITI in the late 70's (Not sure which "Winners" campaign is being referenced, a lot of the old 70's promos online used the "The Winners on TV-6" tag) and they all have a similar feel to them. It might be a Gari one-off.

This short KOLO promo in 1989 features (barely) the WMGC/WBKO 1988 theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=atoW1zhsxBc;t=108 And the TV Madman is going mad again. A WDJT short 10pm newscast from 1996!
