  1. Whoops, I was wrong — it was March 1981 that they dropped "NewsCenter 2". Sheesh, KTVI was changing imaging more than its underwear... (The Fox OSI theme has lasted longer than the last four music packages they used combined!) We don't have any early-80s 'HTM to really say, unfortunately. Though I did find this 1979 WTPA (!!) sportscast (the callsign change was in 1980 and this is January 27, 1979):

  2. In the mid-80s (about 1985?), WHTM actually updated to it. In '86 they were even still using the late 70s Times-Mirror stations theme (NMSA "KDFW 1979"). Even WETM used the same typeface, though we don't have any newscasts from the period when T-M still owned the station. (WSTM never seemed to, and then Elmira, Syracuse and Harrisburg were sold off in 1986.) KTVI seemed to never be part of any standardization. If they were, it might have been in late 1980-1981 (T-M did not own KTVI until 1980). That said, it's unclear quite what they were like between 1980 and 82 or so. In 1980, they dropped the NewsCenter 2 imaging they had been using. There's not much of that, but there's a demo reel from a graphics company with a KTVI 10pm open: In 1979, though, they hadn't yet adopted that logo (there's a snippet in the final second showing their set): Times-Mirror in general had more standardization than many groups in the 80s, especially early in the decade and then in the 1987-88 period. (The Yours Truly graphics package comes to mind.)

  3. I literally hate InvisionBoard. XenForo was way better.

  4. Woohoo! We're back on Invision! Question though: Will a dark theme be also addressed?

  5. Is there a way to remove the boxes on the right hand side of the main page (i.e: Forum Statistics, Who's online, posts?) ? Also, is there an option for a dark theme like in the previous iteration?

  6. I couldn’t find WHTM’s take on the KDFW “Hello News” pack in that link you shared... And that KTVI “News Center 2” era must’ve been in use after this, which was April 1980: Also, unrelated, but I also found a KOVR show from January 1992:
