That sounds more likely, but who knows? Was that theme even in use in December '79?

The www.cbsphilly.com site has been redesigned.

We take you back to 1983 as WVEC Norfolk brings you the 6pm report. A news open is included with an unknown theme being used.

A little late to the discussion, but I really want to echo this. The social media generations already know what happened. We're more interested in why things happen and what they mean. Give us several minutes on how bad the situation was for the people showing up at the border to seek asylum, and not just what happens afterward. Do a full package on the most important agenda item at the city council meeting before it happens, not just a quick SOT when it passes.

both WJBK & WXYZ would bring in many columnist from the paper on the airwaves, and yeah that strike seem like it went on forever.

Many of these opens we've seen in NewsActive3 or Compubit compilations, while there a few that are completly new! Including this open from KMID:

I think it was ever since the new GM took over, so at least since then. That's a shame, I really really liked that slogan.

Earlier tonight in the 5 p.m. news, Rob Stafford made his profanity whlie he's doing the cold open. He saids "B*tches" rather than he saying "Beaches". Who the station will proposed an FCC fine for their profanity on live TV during the news?

I’ve seen that open before - it was on this video from 1984: You can see it on the control room TVs. Is the uploader sure this aired in ‘83? Corinthian/Dunn & Bradstreet stations had unified looks & sets at the time and didn’t really change their opens at all, so this possibly could’ve aired after the Belo takeover.

Posted in the Radio Broadcasting forum about Tegna reportedly looking to dump the two San Diego radio stations it got in the Midwest TV deal for KFMB-TV and, as a start in that direction, apparently not interested in signing the popular but high-priced KFM-BFM morning show to a contract renewal. More appropriate for the radio forum, so: https://forums.tvnewstalk.net/index.php?threads/sd-reader-tegna-looking-to-get-rid-of-san-diego-radio-stations-dave-shelly-chainsaw-morning-show.16890/

Alrighty then, but still...I wonder if he might know who wrote that theme then...

That 90s montage there is a pretty awesome one there! Lots of goodies. The KQTV theme strikes me as being a Network track - and with a really good look for the market and time at that. And holy crap, it's KTVO and WGEM anything!

So, the other day, Tegna had their "Pinnacle Awards." It awards the best in innovation,etc. at Tegna stations over the last year. Anyone at Tegna have any more info on this? What are the categories? Any place to view the winning entries?

I wonder who it will be? And only if they had a new set to go with it? One can only dream

Might’ve even been earlier, like even late ‘78.

I think it’s talking about the supposed WSB 1980 Theme (the one BEFORE 2 Steps Ahead).

Anyone know yet who's gonna anchor the midday newscast? It starts this month.

All three of those sites may be on the updated platform, but only AZFamily.com has an updated design -- and even then, it's not responsive.

Any thoughts on the welcome America 4th of July coverage on NBC 10 for this year ?

While we're on the topic of WGCL I've noticed that they've ditched their "Local. Real. Everywhere" slogan that they debuted with new graphics last fall. It is no longer used in opens and it's not mentioned at all in promos. I noticed this back in April, don't know if it was ditched earlier than that.

Perhaps.... Most of the Post-Newsweek stations (WDIV/WJXT/WFSB) had a similar set, as did WTVF ....

Samantha Davies is a meteorologist, but she only does traffic on the AM show. There's no Wx tag-teaming with Grant Johnston.

Fellow NBC affiliate WOOD does this. And I think KXAS does this too.

Why do we need TWO weather anchors on the same show? Sister stations WCAU & WRC also follows this same practice.

Now there's a Hampton Roads dream pairing...awesome find!
