2 NewsTeam was never used outside of the promos as this was a transitional look for WMC-TV that lasted for a short time before Bert Ellis WSB-ified the station months later.

Oh, you mean like how channel 7 is missing 7 (soon to be 9) of their 14 talent rejoins?

They didn't air last Sunday, but they are airing a 3-person talent bump, like the weeknight shows.

BBC2, United Kingdom; Newsnight, 1980: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=Mw6kirKSJlc;m=1;s=31 The same program, 1983: By the way, Newsnight still uses an updated version of the same theme almost 38 years later:

The latest KGTV fire promo is killing me... "More people watched 10 news for coverage of the Lilac fire"...... "More" than what? No attribution of any type...not even little tiny Nielsen numbers at the bottom of the screen. The fire was not during the regular book. What the hell do they base that "more viewers" claim on? Is this claim based on the overnights (ratings)...doubtful because I'm pretty sure it's still a giant NO-NO to post or share the "overnights" unless you have permission or a rider in your Nielsen agreement. It's just a play on words. A fabricated non-fact that can never be proven...nor dis-proven . And they wonder why nobody trust the media.

A professional. I’m sure if it were me there not only would be a studio reconstruction fee but an FCC fine as well.

It's Mike Janssen with the weather tonight.

The TV-ARK update (which is rather extensive — the backend needed to be overhauled too) won't come online for a few months. They've also been doing 50fps remasters of all their UK clips so it'll be a treat anyway. However, the international stuff might be at increased risk. Some of the materials (a batch of different TV station promos from 1993 including the only promo I've ever sen with the KOCO plain 5) are also in the NewsActive3 collection. Our own Roly (NCFLMedia) actually asked them on FB about some older clips, and here's what was said: "We are aiming to recapture them however we don't have the original tapes for all of them.. The ones the size of a postage stamp made with real video will probably be missed"

I wonder if some of the graphic assets were taken from it's Chicago sister?

Some more KMTV promos - the first promo has an unknown theme, the second using “TuesdayA”. Look for CNN anchor Chuck Roberts and former KMBC anchor Bev Chapman in the second promo. Also, did KMTV use “TuesdayA” or “Firepower” for their news opens in 1980? Or did they run concurrently?

Vintage WBZ Clips from the '70s and 80s (some you have seen before)

And I just found something pretty damn unexpected-- awesome-quality footage of WBZ in 97, during their NewsWorks/News 4 New England era, although the opens are chopped up and it appears to have been taken off of WBZ's website (somehow); regardless, it's a nice find (we need more of NewsWorks-era BZ).

Some IDs and promos from Lexington in the late 80s and early 90s. WTVQ, WKYT and WLEX. This Kentucky Derby promo would have been from 1991, judging from the revised logo and the date. May 4th fell on Saturday in 1991, not 1988. The derby is always the first Saturday in May.

The issues have nothing to do with WBNX. If anything, it has been WBNX which has kept the rest of his operations afloat. And it's an ego thing. Angley coveted the construction permit for TV55 ever since Rex Humbard's ministry fell apart under oddly similar circumstances. (To wit, next to the WBNX facilities in Akron is a concrete edifice that Humbard built AS the intended tower for the station he wanted.) He'll never sell until the banks force him to. The sad thing is, Scott had an independent TV station of his own in Hartford CT, and let it decay (literally and figuratively) until he was forced to give it up in 1985.

A WTOG News at Ten promo shown here leads to Scott Chapin introducing Dr. Paul Bearer...

Was that Mary Bruce I saw anchoring GMA Weekend with Dan this morning?

Repost from the classic video thread - someone at WHOI clearly liked Balls and Walls (and mid 90s TVbD in general)... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=IsS6I_Mymhg;t=21
