I too have only watched a few minutes, but they do start the 6pm with a talent open announcing the WGN Evening News at 6 that uses the same evening music (although it's a slightly longer cut because there are now 5 people). Also, from the little bit that I've seen of the first hour, the new team seems pretty strong, and I'm sure Skilling doesn't mind that Demetrius has taken over the outdoor weather hit at 4.

On Tuesday, Tom did an outdoor weather hit to start the 5pm news. Not sure if that will remain permanent.

Yummy....in all the right places.

This is the same station that still uses the same backdrop from a decade ago without any of the new buildings in lower Manhattan.

Former WCNC reporter Glenn Counts is joining WSOC-TV at the end of April as their senior reporter. http://www.wsoctv.com/news/local/veteran-charlotte-television-reporter-joins-wsoc-tv/504938591 [MEDIA=twitter]844563689130876928[/MEDIA]

"Thames News" was probably the first news program I really liked as a kid. Here are some of my recordings from back then! They had a pretty "unique" news theme in '89! And you'd have to say that long-running Thames River ID (in your clip above) must be one of the all-time greats. For what it's worth, I was fascinated by the retro, minimalist, vaguely "Eastern Bloc" vibe I got from this as a primary school kid.. and their timeless ID in 1989 - elegant and stunning to this day. (and the great News at One)

The Natasha fans OWN Lieberman.

For a large market, it's amazing how rare it is to find WLS clips from the late 90's. Here's a bunch of promos from 1998...

I checked out the bump pieces from the WWLP-WANE-KTVW-WLOX theme by VTS and it sounds really nice. Anyway, while checking out the YouTube app on my Kindle Fire, I found a WHNT newscast close from 1979 featuring a nice version of Tuesday's "News People" theme. Here is something rare. A clip from WCWB-TV (now WMGT) in Macon. This is from 1980 and features a report about President Reagan's trip to Georgia. No news open is included. [MEDIA=vimeo]204217663[/MEDIA] I do not know if this has been shared or not, but here is a clip of WTXL-TV as recorded in the mid 1980s. A WTXL fill-in anchor at the time, Steve Hunsicker, uploaded this clip of a morning news cut-in during "Good Morning America". [MEDIA=vimeo]10508754[/MEDIA] We take you back to 1993 were WATE-TV covered the Blizzard of '93 with anchors Russ Murphy and Denise Dillon. News open is at 0:56 into the video. A little warning: This was recorded via a video camera pointed to the TV.

WVBT clips and promos from 2002 with Kelly Wright and Nicole Livas.

Seems almost like a trade, since WKRG/WFNA's former GM is now heading up WSFA.

KCTV did not renew sports director Michael Coleman's contract. This week is his last week.

Pitiful.
