You're missing KAIT, WAFF & KGMB/KHNL.

Comcast is the dominant cable provider in Houston, so don't expect that anytime soon.

Spectrum News 1 is coming to Dallas/Ft. Worth, and they're already hiring new and familiar faces. https://www.dallasnews.com/business/technology/2020/10/06/brett-shipp-joins-spectrum-as-it-expands-its-hyperlocal-tv-news-coverage-to-north-texas/ https://dallas.culturemap.com/news/city-life/10-06-20-spectrum-news-brett-shipp/ Spectrum News 1 DFW is expect to launch next week (Oct. 16th).

WLS, Chicago, 11:30am, 1993: It's 1968 and Public Broadcast Laboratory takes a close-up look at the network news:

I'm trying to figure out why the afternoon theme wasn't in the 11:30 open from 1993

You forgot WAFF.

WJBK-TV 2 CBS/ final months- era KARE 11- (4/2001)

We got a 2005 WKYC open (skip to 14:14) And a 1996 WFTV open (skip to 14:42) A 2002 WKYC open (skip to 25:56) A 1997 WZTV news open (skip to 17:23) A 1990 WKYC open (skip to 13:25)

The first two images were from their 1986-7 relaunch with the tvBd/Good News package, and lasted into 1990. I think the next set revamp happened when they retired "Eyewitness News". The second two were the NewsChannel5 relaunch in 1990 which lasted into the 1995 switch to the new "tilted 5" graphics and Edd Kalehoff theme. The set would be retired that July. The final two were the original 1984 set that lasted into the tvBd/Good News revamp. It looks like only the colored backdrop and overhead logo were the only major changes.

Good to see some melody back it's a missed branding opportunity for so many shows to use unintrusive music. Would be nice to see GMA bring back the hamlisch signature when things go back to being more lifestyle oriented.
