I wonder if they’re preparing TV3 for election night? GMA weekend coming from Times Square the last few week where it should always be in my opinion.

I hope they stay in the Times Square studio permanently, the image on TV3 is horrible.

Honestly CBSM is already a hodepodge, the set "update" does not help either, flip flopping music, pretending viewers want to wake up to a giant Pizza Hut ad, honestly CBS was it all worth it to get rid of CTM? And for those who will bring up CBS News Streaming, Studio 1515 would have been just fine for them with minor updates to the 2020 Election set.

But there IS PROOF that the customized NBC News graphics and animation was used on WALA (now a FOX affiliate)

That graphics package was also localized as KNDO was using it for their Newscenter broadcasts.

NBC News graphics with its rotating globe seen from Earth (circa 1983 or 1984, for various NBC News titles including Today, NBC News Digest, Nightly News etc.)

Cheryl Burton celebrates 30 years at ABC 7 News! Congratulations to her.

An inter-market rarity: from 2004, the 9 p.m. news on KMSB in Tucson produced by KTVK in Phoenix:

Excellent work from the team at World News Tonight (9/18/01). Calm and lightly sensational reporting in the immediate aftermath of the worst terror attack in US history. Compare this to the overblown hype and constant blaring, breaking news graphics that would be applied to something as light as as committee hearing on today's evening news. KFMB, CBS 8 San Diego (April 1967). You'd be hard-pressed to find a mid to late 60s newscast wether local or national that didn't mention Vietnam at least once.

WSB-TV Chief Meteorologist Glenn has officially announced his retirement. His last day is November 22. Brad Nitz will be promoted to Chief Meteorologist. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wsbtv.com/station/chief-meteorologist-glenn-burns-announces-his-retirement-after-40-years-wsb-tv/PV5LYYETZJCBTA42PLNH7L2KG4/%3FoutputType%3Damp

Ran across this yesterday. It's an August 1984 WISN newscast from before the transition from Action News to 12 News took place (and just before the synthesizer version of the ABC World News Tonight theme gave way to Jim Kirk's WWL News theme)

KMOL News 4 San Antonio at 10:00 (August 18, 1989) WCIX Commercials and Promos with The Ten O'Clock News open at 27:21 (October 3, 1985) WJBK TV-2 Eyewitness News at 11:00 (October 19, 1987) WBAL-TV 11 News Tonight (August 24, 2003)

I also noticed on the News Music Search Archive that KOLD-TV 13 in Tucson, AZ used TM's classic "Spirit" music package back in 1987. However, I looked on YouTube and could not find a video using the theme. A newscast, news open or anything would be good. Also, I came across some rare newsbreaks anchored by J.D. Miles over former CBS affiliate KLMG in Longview/Tyler, TX who was a news anchor for the station. The KLMG newsbreaks can be found below. Not only did J.D. Miles work at KLMG, he also worked as an anchor for WJHL in Johnson City, Tennessee. You can watch the WJHL clips below. Not only did J.D. Miles anchor the news, there were even some outtakes and promos too. See those below. And Steve Pickett worked as a reporter for KFSN-TV in Fresno, CA back in the late 1980s. Check out his reel below.

Love that old WSPA EWN opening! It would be perfect for an update to the WSPA opens montage if there is one.

KNBC Newscenter 4 from September 18, 1980, with Pat Sajak doing weather (starts at 20:59):

Something I stumbled across today. The first 10 minutes or so of ABC's coverage of the 1988 Iowa Caucus.

When Brooklyn's Labor Day West Indian parade was broadcast on TV! Maurice DuBois and Sue Simmons WNBC (1998). Wonder why they stopped broadcasting it?

Gosh, another millennium broadcast...I've been looking for Seattle or Yakima coverage for several years with no luck. I found an hour of early AM 'ABC 2000' on a VHS last year, when Asia was still going into 2000 and there was a partial KOMO 6am newscast on it. But no Pacific time celebration(s) yet. KNDO Yakima had local coverage according to the Ellensburg Daily Record, and all three Seattle stations did the same (IIRC, I believe KOMO did leave ABC 2000 behind at the PT midnight). I do have some new clips, it's been a long time since I've posted anything. KAPP 6PM 3/20/97 (open) and a KCRA lifestyle segment taped 11/2/98, from the Noon news

KXAS Texas News 5 at Ten (February 26, 1996) WGN The Nine O'Clock News (March 9, 1993)

A complete 10 p.m. WBBM newscast from 1983: By the way, was that USA Today commercial produced by Collier Concepts?

WBBM, Chicago; 10 p.m., 1981 (complete):

WROC News 8 Now at 11:00 (November 2000; go to 5:36)

From KRDO alumni Russell Sylvain's YouTube Channel, check out this 1987-89 news open from KRDO ABC 13 in Colorado Springs/Pueblo. WHERE WFAA MEETS KCRA. The Channel 3 Reports theme - Where the News Comes First by L. Earl Grizzell - was used on NEWS13. Moreover, KRDO had taken cues from WFAA, and made the aerial footage with anchor headshots and john hancocks on lower 3rds. Looks like the aerial footage was shot on film in the chopper to give the news open a big-city look. In the election eve aircheck, you'll hear the directors track throughout the aircheck.

19 years ago today was the great Northeast blackout of 2003:

KTVI Channel 2/ ABC- St. Louis 1980

WGN Midday News (February 24, 1988) WTCN 11 News at 10:00 (June 14, 1983) WJW Fox 8 News (January 4, 2000) Apparently this open continued to be used to open a rebroadcast, because KNSD was using News San Diego and Groove News by this point.

Start of a KTPX (now KWES) Odessa/Midland newscast from 1991...it is rare to find Permian Basin clips on YT

Ernie Anderson on TV8 Cleveland on PM Magazine

WVEC compilation of clips from September 1990 I just ran across. Included are promos for PrimeTime, a Ted Koppel Report special and a WVEC newsbreak anchored by Barbara Ciara (also sprinkled in are spots for Head of the Class after Billy Connolly replaced Howard Hessemann and an incomplete Cop Rock promo)

KPIX Nightcast promo 1983 - action packed cut of 'signature'

WFLA-TV "8 Country" report (1978?) with anchor Jerry Fiore at the intro and Bob Hite and Bob South

NEW finds...About eight minutes of KOMO News 4 at 11, taped 2/1/93 with Dan Lewis and the late Kathi Goertzen Also a KING 5 News open at the end of this from 3/19/90...interesting theme that must have been short-lived. Ed O'Brian is the v/o - not Joe Michaels or NBC promo announcer Danny Dark who did work for KING in the early '90s.

From WVEC's account, I can say with a good bit of confidence this is the oldest complete or nearly complete footage from that station that has surfaced. This is a September 1975 special titled "The Invasion of '75", hosted by a young John Miller and focused on the increase in tourism in Williamsburg and Yorktown (no doubt Busch Gardens opening and the approaching American Bicentennial were major factors)

Earnie Anastos 25th anniversary tribute video from the mid 2000s! Nostalgic seeing all the old New York anchor teams from back then

Various closing montages from NBC and ABC World Series coverage back in the day: 1980: 1982: 1983: 1985: 1986: 1987:

I think I remember seeing/hearing this many years ago. From one of my tape finds, the national satellite feed of WNBC's version of "We're 4 New York"

That must have been the last time the Disney Channel was ever off the air for any sort of period, knowing they went off for a few hours every night in their first few years. The bars also have an ID box just like many OTA TV stations would use in that period. That's something new that wasn't on the '88 recording.

Local ads from America's smallest market:

No news but KXLY dumped a bunch of early 90s and later news specials onto its YT today. Here's one:

Carlton wrapping up its broadcast week, handing over to LWT in 1994. The message is followed by the intro of the long-running Australian soapie Home & Away.
