Other than the 11pm 'NightCast' theme, what did KTSP use for the other newscasts in the 1989-92 era?
My guess would be a lighter variation of the same theme. The music in the "Sharing the Vision" promo sounds kinda the same style, so it could be part of a custom package.

WTVD Open and Close 1991:
He also uploaded a WNCT promo and IDs from 1990:
Would love to see more Eastern NC video.

...and part 69:
All but one of those are post-2000... so this post would fit more in the other thread! haha

KOVR channel 13 is now broadcasting in stereo! Hear the difference:
ooooh, ahhhh

WJCL/WTGS Savannah GA
Not as bad as some of them.. but.....
That one's not too bad. Weird, but not terrible. Isn't their whole news presentation since becoming "The Coastal Source" non-traditional?
I noticed that since then, from their website, WJCL has introduced a new look using graphics by John Christopher Burns.

a short WTKR Ignitor open (has the apocalypse occurred yet?....no?!)
I LOVE IT
and the WCSC opens are cool too

You can now add Part 60 to his growing list.

This version includes a WCAU News Open from the Late 1980's, a WGN Newsbreak (or should I say Weatherbreak) with Tom Skilling, and two early 80's News Opens from KNXT/KCBS
Just a heads up to people... most of the opens in this batch are from 2008-2010
-
I'm STILL waiting on a WTKR Ignitor open!

I found this last month while perusing a large batch of opens from the English for the Children movement, including 2001 WGGB opens. WGGB 1993 coverage of a fire in Holyoke, Massachusetts; buried inside are three news opens from a previously unknown package. Chris Clausen voices.(2:18 - First at 5 open)(3:40 - 6pm open)(starts with the 11 @ 11 open)
I sent this off to the NMSA but got no response.
These finally got on the NMSA as the "WGGB 1993 News Theme." From what I can tell, it's exactly the same as the "WGGB 1994 News Theme" that was already on there, it's just that the opens in each entry are from different times. Not sure why there are two entries for the same theme?

If you'll notice the NBC peacock in the lower left, I imagine this is a fairly recent clip perhaps from "Tonight" or "Late Night" with Kilborn hawking his (now cancelled) Fox show.
Yeah, it's from Kilborn's appearance on Leno last month: http://www.nbc.com/the-tonight-show/video/craig-kilborn/1239310/

KXAS news update during 1996 Olympic Opening Ceremonies:
Also some other KXAS promos/commercial breaks on that same channel, as well as some stuff uploaded a number of months ago; not sure if it was posted here already.

News open montages of national and San Francisco news opens from the 90s (and a few from the 2000s... a couple KCRA opens in there too). Includes some KTVU stuff that's worth a look! Love that Mornings on 2 theme...

KARK-TV open 2009 (Little Rock, AK)
That's not too bad. The B/W anchor still photos are a bit discordant.
I really think the last couple opens WEWS had before adopting the new Scripps look were the worst "recent" opens.

Same channel features some weather stuff from KMEG, KTIV, KCAU

Judging from the promos in these commercial breaks from 1996, KCRA had a fantastic promo dept. in the mid-90s. Very theatrical, not "newsy"...
at 3:48at 7:56Note the "Where The News Comes First" motif in the music on both spots.

WPDE's first news open, 1980. Pretty neat...
-
WAGA 5 Promos (1984)(Some promos feature the graphics that were used on other stations like WDVM, KGMB, and other stations across the United States and Australia)
The "People Make it Special" promos also feature what sounds like the "WNDU 1991 News Theme"
-
Current WECT open:
-
1995 KFDA open
Other than being really cheap looking, it has the weirdest modification of the PNP ever created.
The one before it was weirder... same music, different graphics. They're kinda cool though. It's featured in this NewsActive3 montage at 2:51: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob4rlw1IYik

In Roanoke/Lynchburg... WSET overtakes WDBJ at 6pm to become the most-watched local news in that timeslot.
"For the first time in at least two generations, WDBJ-TV (Channel 7) does not have the most-watched 6 p.m. newscast in the region."
