Some interesting Southern California (and national) news clips from 1972, including a complete KABC close at the 12:00 mark:

Isn't WKYC #1 at 11pm? But anyways, WEWS is a very stable station and I wouldn't mind CBS moving there, causing WOIO to become an independent.

Actually it's the original version; been there for years. I do like the modern touch of merging in the 'A' and waveline in the new variation.

Just the opening montage, but yep. I've got more coming from the core markets (Seattle/Yakima), maybe others as I go through tubs and boxes.

Please refer to the link in the first post of this thread, that clearly states he's giving up the 11, first.

Probably with some new graphics (Tegna ABC perhaps?) and replacing C Clarity with production music.

Oddly enough, WAVE competitor WHAS used a similiar logo for years, until the end of the Belo era when the "11" was taken out of the circle. If Tegna ever rebooted one of their old logos, this one might look good on them now.

Good luck finding an aircheck this old in this good of quality. WTMJ April 10th, 1968.

Here's a WNYT newscast from December 5, 1997! First at noon: Then at 5pm: Then at 5:30pm: And at 6pm: Have a Merry Christmas, and even a Happy New Year!

WTSP from 11/5/94. Lots of promos for the switch from ABC to CBS.

Here's an old WRGB newscast in 2000 from the Freedom days.

RE OPRAH...I would download it soon, 90% chance a strike is a'comin from Harpo. Anyways, I was able to find the first 2-3 minutes of a WGN Bozo Show from 1994 recently. It's just the opening greeting and the start of a skit...no 'grand prize game', no bucket #6. Not easy to find these! It would have been just months before WGN pulled the plug on morning cartoons and moved Bozo to Sundays. https://archive.org/details/capture-a-4676

(1990)Classic ABC News promo featuring most of the network's big shot anchors. Wish Charlie Gibson and Joan Lunden could have made it in too. The successive deaths of the Soviet Union's leaders in just 3 years: CBS Evening News (1982): Leonid Brezhnev's death CBS Evening News (1984): Yuri Andropov's death CBS Evening News (1985): Konstantin Chernenko's death, Gorbachev becomes leader

Here's some promos from The Disney Channel at the end of their pay-TV days. I *love* that Magical World of Disney montage they used in the waning days before the Zoog package. Stunning graphics and great jingle. Some years later, they went to junky "sitcoms" and shoving Raven-Symone up our butts. Ugh, what they have done to this magical network. OT: In my mailbox this afternoon should be a dozen Betamax tapes from Great Falls, Montana that I just purchased on Saturday via eBay (quick USPS shipping!) They are all L-250s, the 500s and 750s got away from me (and the 500s had vintage MTV on at least one tape). The 250s are smaller tapes at the 1 hour or 1 1/2 hour speed depending on Beta-II or Beta-III, so I might still find some good stuff. Tapes are vintage early '80s Sears and TDK Super Avilyn stock which literally sings to me. I am hoping it's local recordings from Montana, but with the nature of Californians migrating to ID/MT, it could be from that state too...

Oldest recording of a Tri-Cities, Tennessee station uncovered from WKPT (ABC)!

CBS promo/jingle compilation, 1973-2000 (first 1979 promo includes another title from the Bob Schieffer side of Morning [namely Monday Morning]; we've seen Tuesday Morning, Wednesday Morning, and Thursday Morning; Friday Morning is the only one left to find)

A behind-the-scenes look at KYUS-TV, Ch. 3, Miles City, MT, ca. 1979. From an episode of "Real People", featuring the late Fred Willard.

Hey, if WKYC's new open doesn't work, maybe this could be Plan B: Imagine the anchor teams in this!

Shades of the WAVY 10 logo.

The logo on the building is wrong.
