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.

Those graphics were also used in South Africa... ...and Australia:

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.)

WFLA sportscast from 1989 with popular but polarizing sportscaster Chris Thomas:

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.

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):

WCBS-TV Channel 2 News at 11 from January 22, 1986 (starts at 9:00):

Kenneth Starr died today at 76. Dannotchnewsvideos posted a compilation of reports from the early days of the Lewinsky Scandal. I suppose this is the new name for the JFK1963videos channel.

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

Several CNN promos from 1983, when the news was still the star:

A rare 1996 clip of a WMAQ "Olympic Newsbreak" aired during the Atlanta Olympics:

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

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.

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)

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)

Revisiting the final years of the Oprah show, it's amazing how well produced it was in terms of aesthetic. Talk shows today look so washed out and cheap. The bright lighting has not helped declining budgets in the age of HD at all. Outside of the quality of the show Oprah generally had the best aesthetic look of all the talk shows at the time. The video walls here blend in nicely. I like how the producers use the portrait effect to blur the background. The lighting isn't too harsh and the high definition looks smooth. It's amazing how far things have gone downhill since 2010 for daytime TV.

History of Channel 7 Miami. Loved the affiliation change and "news station" revamp portions.

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"

An odd 10 second TV station ID from KBSI-TV, Ch. 23 (Fox), Cape Gireadeau, MO, ca. 1990. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAmXxWFJ5Nk The guy running the channel that the above clip is on (That Random Oshawott) has been uploading a bunch of extremely rare stuff from the Cape Gireadeau, MO\Carbondale, IL\Paducah, KY TV market (WSIL-TV, WPSD-TV, KFVS-TV & KBSI-TV.) from the early-mid 80's-90's & later recently. EDIT: For some reason, I can't get the video to embed.

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:

A funny video from WXFL/WFLA in Tampa Bay (mid to late 1980s), where anchor Bob Hite mocks and dances to the theme music of Miami Vice. Includes appearances from Bill Ratliff and Gayle Sierens.

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.

A custom made KTKA-TV, Ch. 49 "It Must be ABC" promo from February 1993.

25 years ago today, The WB Television Network launched. It was the first of the two eventual predecessors of The CW to launch in January 1995, five days before the United Paramount Network (UPN) made its debut. Here's a look at the commercials that aired during the network's first night (as seen on WLVI in Boston): ...and a couple of teaser commercials for the network's launch:
