No KC or Orlando CBS or Weigel station but both have a Hearst station. Their's 2 other shows on CBS that it could show like Unfrogettable and the Marry Steenburgen one.

I really, really, really don’t like the usage of Chapin in those news opens. His styles and senses of tabloidism don’t mix with the news theme at all - especially for the 5pm open. On the bright side, these clips were just another thing to add to my latest compilation: After I upload the WCCO one tomorrow I will be doing a compilation for WBFF and then, it’ll be Jacksonville’s turn.

WFLA's short lived 1992-93 era with Gari's "On Your Side". This set was deemed "too distracting" by management and in August 1993, the set was redesigned and the "NewsChannel 8" era began with a tabloid focus.

How much for one of those KMOV blue bug screens??? ...because I want one for camping.

In 1984, you could get Paul Harvey's commentary in Flint on WEYI 25 News... (It's not much, but this is a rare station generally.) The WNYW 10 O'Clock News from 1992:

KGO was an outlier too. Did its own thing except for a quick couple of years 1985 - 87 when the company built them a new building and they got the KABC set. That got quickly dumped for something in house. Then when the WLS manager came in 1998 he brought the WLS set and theme - that lasted 4 or 5 years. Well, the theme only two years before Stephen Arnold's Signature in 2000. They even dumped Cool Hand Luke three times - from 82 - 84 and 87 - 88, then in 94 instead of going with Eyewitness News they commissioned News One. Didn't get around to using Eyewitness News until 2006.

A rebrand is soon coming. I can smell it.

Here that classic Metromedia jingle this time WXIX in Newport/Cincinnati- Minneapolis Los Angeles

Greetings El Paso! KVIA is “A New Vision”! I think that’s what the KNTV 1984 Theme is called...

It's NOT the studio that is the problem. It's the entire building that sucks. The electrical sucks...the hvac sucks...the place stinks. Moving out is the only viable solution, unless FOX wants to sink a crapload of money in the place.

This isn’t really a bad open graphics-wise, but when you use the voice of tabloid TV news alongside a very mellow-sounding news theme, you get a very mis-matched news open. Hubbard would later make more bad choices for their TV stations’ imaging in the years to come:
