Going way back to perhaps the earliest newscast I have run across yet from Atlanta, WSB's 6:00 newscast from December 4, 1967 WSB-TV 6pm News, December 4, 1967

We all know the classic 'HBO in space' theme but did you know there was an extended instrumental version of the said composition? This version was based off a cassette that was sent to radio stations to promo upcoming movie showings on HBO. There's also a vocal version of the said theme. To hear that, if you have a TVPMM account, you can log in + listen to 'HBO - feature presentation' under category "Movies". I feel like certain TV themes always had some sort of extended CD-esque releases in the 80s. Recently at work I heard (read: figured out) the full version of 'the greatest american hero' thru the sound system.

From Phoenix, a 1982 intro to KTVK's 3D movie presentation, featuring instructions on how to use 3D glasses and an introductory speech by the station's GM:

Two brand-new WBBM news promos from 1978:

Just heard Starcrossed during the Niner and Seahawks Game. They were using some parody Price is Right graphics for Marshawn Lynch’s stats

Well that's a surprise! Also, the pre-meatball circle 3 toward the end of its run.

Interesting timing--I will say.

KOCO has an opening for a meteorologist...but since it was a female that left they may hire another lady.

WGBO-TV/Univision promos from December 1999, Univision's first year of their famous "White Space" image idents and show promo end cards.

The number font they used is similar to what the Nashville Predators previously wore on their uniforms.

This doesn't involve New Orleans or a plane crash, but still very sad nonetheless... WAFF 48 reporter Allen Stroud has passed away after a year-long battle with Stage IV lung cancer. https://www.waff.com/2019/12/29/waff-reporter-allen-stroud-passes-away-following-fight-with-cancer/

She was also the daughter in law of the LSU offensive coordinator.
