KTTV GDLA Open 1997. (I think the theme was from the mid 90s).

Speaking of This Is Home, the entire theme and cuts of This Is Home can now be heard on SoutherMedia NMSA.

Looks like KHOU is next on the list of getting the Gannett website look.

 

Who is next to get the Gannett graphics? Maybe a station in Texas (WFAA, KHOU, KVUE), or WVEC...

 

It's too early to tell on the Texas stations (WFAA, KHOU, KENS, and KVUE).

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.

 

Veteran WJAC anchor Marty Radovanic just made a public announcement that he has cancer and will be starting treatment.

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.

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.

 

John Gerard, chief meteorologist at WOAI, is leaving the station after the May book for a weather position over at WFOR.

 

Source: http://blog.mysanantonio.com/jakle06/2014/04/woai-tv-losing-its-weatherman

 

So now, this means WOAI will be without a chief meteorologist OR a lead female anchor. And knowing WOAI, they tend to take their time looking for replacements. It took them a little more than a year to replace Brian Collister.

 

And I understand Blaise Labbe says "it happened pretty quickly" so it will take them a while to find somebody. This is BS because they knew for a while Elsa Ramon was leaving, and nope, still nobody has been hired.

 

Anyways, I'll miss him. He was my favorite weatherman in the market. Hopefully he will NOT be replaced with Alex Garcia from KABB. He is by far the worst in the market. I watch the weather to find if it's going to rain tomorrow, not to get a lesson in meteorology, and Garcia certainly loves to teach more than he does putting things into simple terms that an average person can understand. That and he always likes to remind us when the NOAA will be having their next storm spotter classes. Katie Vossler at KSAT is also starting to get bad about this too...

 

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

Yes, I'm re-uploading Phoenix newscasts this week, and I've plenty more coming. So check my YouTube channel for newscasts and game shows.

Legendary news and sports anchor Ron Zappolo is returning to 9News (KUSA).

I was always obsessed with KGTV's 94 theme along with KTLA during the flashpoint era as a child.

 

KGTV on the other hand has another clip of that 94 package. Topical blooper can be found at 1:39

 

If you go to the 23:48 mark of the news open compilation, you'll find KGTV's 11PM Nightcast open.

 

Of the Gannett stations pre-BELO acquisition? Yes. However we are anxiously (not) awaiting the conversion of all the BELO stations to these wonderful sites and graphics.

 

A brand new kvue.com is on the way! Albert Ramon KVUE tells us why he's excited about the improved weather features.
