Here's 3 vintage clips Please do not repost.

Do they really need a news at 3pm? This is starting to be a trend...Is this an hourlong or half hour? Someone raised the question about Jeopardy? This should be more of a Lifestyle show?

My9 was in Seacaucus NJ.. Fox News is in Manhattan like WNYW.. that would be easier to get to.. the real question is why did they have Shep Smith anchor as opposed to Dari and Steve

NBC should try to keep the NHL the next time the contract is up, plus try to get a piece of the MLB contract. If they can't get any of the college football conferences, try to build on their ivy league conference deal. I think that they should air more than the 4-5 games they have been doing the past few seasons for college football. For college basketball, build on their CAA & Atlantic 10 conference deal. I heard they used to air 60 games for Atlantic 10, but now only 25 games. Why not try to add more games with their current deal? If NBC really wanted to expand their presence into sports, they would have put more money and outbid the other networks into getting more popular sports properties. It seems like they are only doing enough to have a minimum presence, which in my view does not make sense if you want to have a network devoted to sports. If all they want is to have a minimum presence in the sports industry, they don't need a sports network. They can easily spread the sports programming that they have across the several cable networks that they own. Put the bulk of the programming weekends on CNBC. Put whatever other sports programming that they have during the week on CNBC primetime or USA Network, or Bravo Network or Oxygen Network. Otherwise, they should put the programming that they have during the week for sports on Golf channel, If NBC does go ahead and spend more money on sports in the future, they should go ahead and rename the Golf Channel NBCSN 2, since they will have more of a presence in the sports industry. As mentioned earlier, if they do spend more money and do those suggestions posted earlier, they should have enough programming to spread across two networks for most of the year, especially on the weekends. During the weekday, the NBCSN feed should show sports related programming. the NBCSN2 feed should show a newly created sports feed that NBC develops that will air most of the day. They should use the strategy they have developed for CNBC and MSNBC in terms of giving their talent on air time to talk specifically about sports related stuff throughout the day and into the evening if there are not enough sports events for them to cover. This would be the strategy CNBC and MSNBC has with there talent discussing the topics of business and politics during the day on their respective networks.

This is wonderful... the start of The Big News on KNXT in Los Angeles, 1972: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=HfgoEkvZRWw;m=5;s=54

The My9 public affairs show New Jersey Now looks like it's shot in a hallway of the WOR studio building.

WVUE New Orleans (then-ABC) 10 pm news tease from 6/17/1988:

Laurie Dhue & Gregg Jarrett anchoring coverage of Reagan’s death in 2004. Fox News Special Report taken from WNYW.

OMG.

[quote name='Ramona']Aarons went from WGRZ to WROC in the summer of 1996 (and his contract was not renewed there when it wrapped in 1999).[/QUOTE] He was gone from WRGB shortly after that 1994 intro aired, to answer the question @Info Junkie asked. Between having big shoes to fill and a total lack of chemistry he was a dead man walking regardless.

My money is RTM or Millionaire, unless they ditch them entirely.

I know change is inevitable but I really miss Channel 13 of the old days when I was younger. Seems like the last few years have seen questionable decision after questionable decision but maybe data is showing something different. To their credit I will say Mayra and Chauncy are a really strong weekend AM crew.

Looks like ewjxn’s now doing New Orleans as his Phoenix archive has considerably died down... And here are some updates to the WJLA open compilation - including some internet archive videos!

So...according to this video, TEGNA has wrapped its 2018 Content Summit. [MEDIA=vimeo]283742062[/MEDIA] Seems like a pretty cool place to be! I love how TEGNA is not afraid to innovate and try new things. So...anyone who was able to go, what was it like? What were some things discussed? What were some ideas? I couldn't find much online.

[QUOTE="Info Junkie, post: 217483, member: 3593"]@Ramona When in ‘95 did KPHO debut its final “Arizona 5” logo and News on the Hour? It definitely was after December 1994, but there’s no material on YouTube from 1995 for KPHO: Plus what’s laughable is how modern their “Fresh News” graphics looked yet their quality and news presentation was so dated and done to death.[/QUOTE] Probably September 11, 1995, when the set is known to have debuted. That was also when Seinfeld replaced MASH as the 10:05 show on KPHO. (The station had bought the syndication rights before CBS entered the picture.)

A lot of navel gazing there - no wonder they only had moments of being competitive with KPIX / KGO in the late 80s.

They would still have political money galore...it is Ohio, after all...

WESH weekend newscast from St Patrick’s Day 1996. (Partial)

Some well deserved honors for former ABC33/40 anchor Dave Baird was inducted into the Alabama Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10156642193790842

Menacing but sensational.

This is kind of...a menacing close theme to the local news: They got an updated set the next year:

From the same channel that brought you the rare 1991 WNYT clip on St. Patrick’s Day comes a “NewsCenter 6:30” segment from that same day two years later: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrRJwJHqjeo Btw how long was Marty Aarons at WRGB? A Reddit post made a joke about how he “didn’t even last 42 weeks replacing a guy that lasted 42 years (Ernie Tetrault),” meaning he wasn’t there long. Also, a newspaper article @scrabbleship shared with me on this thread a few months ago said Ernie retired on May 27, so possibly Marty was brought in to replace him. Anyways, thanks to YouTube channel wpdehistory, I was able to make this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sT45XDVneQ

Clips of KATC in 1997 (news opens at 0:53, 2:57 and 6:37; using a slower-tempo version of Michael Doucet's [beauSoleil] "Newz Reel")... ...and 1998 (news open at 0:21 and a "Good Morning Acadiana" open on 1:31 with Dave Grusin's "Early AM Attitude") KATC Good Morning Acadiana open 2002 KATC Acadiana's NewsChannel at 10 open 1997

In that case I’d like a Carlos Amezcua and Barbara Beck podcast please... Mark Kriski too for good measure.
