Folks, I've found boxes of tapes with vintage promos, IDs, and newscasts from KDFW, KXAS, WFAA, and KTVT the late 80s & 90s. I'll dub 'em to DVD in the coming days and upload 'em on my YT channel less than two weeks.

Vintage KDFW Newscasts, promos, segments, etc are on KDFW's MyFOXdfw Youtube page. And KDFW 10pm Newscast / OJ Chase (6/17/94)

If I can remember correctly when KTBC left CBS and joining up with FOX in '95, KTBC had to expand their morning news, and had 90 minutes of news from 5:00-6:30pm and their 9:00pm hour had sitcom reruns (i.e. Seinfeld) and then their news at 10pm, and that was in the mid 90s. KTBC canceled their 5:30pm newscasts for Murphy Brown reruns in mid 1996.

Say a prayer for Marty Radovanic, and wish him well on his recovery.

It is with a heavy heart that we send a melancholy happy trails to a Alabama television legend. Longtime WBRC anchor Joe Jangston passed away early this morning. Langston worked at WBRC from 1963 to his retirement in 1987, he also did a stint as anchor at WVTM the the early 1980s before returning to 'BRC in 1982. Funeral arrangements have not been sent, but we will keep you posted. TVNewsTalk want to take this time to send our prayers and condolences to Joe Langston's family and his extended TV family at WBRC FOX 6. Rest In Peace, Joe and Godspeed. http://www.myfoxal.com/story/25835863/veteran-wbrc-broadcaster-joe-langston-passes-away http://www.alabamas13.com/story/25836144/former-longtime-birmingham-tv-news-anchor-joe-langston-passes-away http://www.al.com/news/birmingham/index.ssf/2014/06/longtime_birmingham_tv_news_an.html

More Phoenix Newscasts:

A BIG FIND! I've was at a garage sale today, and I've found promos of WFAA News 8 and a 5:00 newscast from 1987. Plus KDFW promos from 1990. I'll upload in the coming days.

I have a hunch that long time weatherman Albert Flores will take the helm as Chief Meteorologist at WOAI, if I'm right.

Just in to TVNT courtesy of TVspy, Craig Setzer has been officially named Chief Meteorologist for Miami's WFOR CBS 4. Setzer has been with WFOR-TV for 14 years, and he'll continue working on the 5, 6 & 11PM newscasts.
