Clip of a news segment of Noticias 41 from around 1988 or 1989 featuring Maria Celeste Arraras and Fernando Fiore.
Maria currently works for Telemundo while Fernando works as a sports Anchor for Univision Deportes.
....Until 2014. Fiore now works for FOX Sports since 2015, recently seen with World Cup Coverage.

A WSB open that was so interesting that I screen-recorded off a recently uploaded radioman1968 video.
Speaking of, here's the stitched up, yet fuller + cleaner close of Image VIII '94 update:

Not sure if we have an International thread or not (I can’t find one) but I am on an ITV kick right now. Specifically, ITV Central.
This might be one of the best station startups ever. Flashy graphics and tremendous music that build up to a crescendo at the end. I love it.
Not only ITV kick but i'm also on '80's advert' kick. This was the best local structure i can think of. An independent system consisted of local franchises air on the same channel 3 respectively. Those stations had their own identity instead of just being 'ITV' They also produced their own shows, a good number of them air on national ITV. If only they could identify on air their name (ITV Anglia, ITV Meridian, ITV Central) since it's their official name than homogenized as just ITV. Reports of the 1991 franchise results were maddening. It makes you wanna curse out an already dead iron lady.

To add to WCMH departures; today was midday, 5, and 5:30pm anchor Ellie Merritt's last day, and Saturday was meteorologist Tara Lane's last day. Ellie, who was at the station at least a decade and also worked at WSYX, is leaving the industry "to spend time with her daughters." Tara was only at the station about a year. Guess her husband couldn't find full time work in Columbus so they are going back to North Carolina. She is good enough to return to the air down there.
And that's where she will be, this time at FOX 46: http://www.tvnewscheck.com/article/113944/tara-lane-is-new-wjzy-weekday-meteorologist

Good Afternoon America is back! I think Chew’s ratings dropped after Batali got fired for being a creep.
Maybe, but do you think it's fair to use this cancellation against those involve in the show due to one's heinous actions, granted he was a co-host?
My editor's note is this: Somewhat surprising with the news, but felt the GMA expansion was a long time coming due to its status + competition. How damaging would've if they moved 'Kelly + Ryan' a hr. back? They're 'cousins'. If I was head of ABC Daytime, I would've shorten GH to 1/2 hour + resurrect one of recent soaps (maybe OLTL) to fill the hour, maybe bring a closure to the spurned fans, but that's just me. Soap box shut off.

I know this one. It is "Slam Dunk" by FirstCom.
Also identified from JACO' YT page (i guess it's cuts that aren't on firstcom's site anymore i guess): Two nice cuts, one used for 'Cinema 4' intro for Venezuela's Venevision in the 80s. "ClockLife" by firstcom.

Another: "L.A Overture" used in ad for Montreal's CF Cable TV system.

I posted this in Classic Video but I thought I'd have better luck here:
Anyone know this theme? I heard it in part of a Donahue promo from 1993,
as well as the intro to Jornal Bandeirantes from 1992:
Sir, ask and ye shall receive. Identified in the album as i was listening to another track from another post. https://forums.tvnewstalk.net/index.php?threads/classic-video-thread-pre-2008.870/page-303#post-208846
Like that track, this too is from Airtrack. Album: Jet Stream. Track: Supermen

But Tribune says they're phasing those shows out.
But where they're gonna go if they all come back next year? Somewhat on FTS or other second/third rate stations? (WWOR, KCOP, KDFI...)

Not sure why people are debating what time slots “work” for news. This has nothing to do with ratings or trying to “win”.
It’s the midterm elections this fall. That is why they are doing this.
After the elections, a lot of these newscasts will likely go away. They will not “fail”, they accomplished their mission to bring in political ad revenue. Previous “failed” newscasts in these time slots? Look closer, they probably happened during an election year.
It’s all about the money. It’s always about the money.
THIS. When WNBC lauched 4pm newscast, it was in part due to 2016 election season. Them and other NBC O&Os launched their early newscast to mitigate the loss of short lived 'Meredith Vieira show' and other failures in the past. It remains and i don't see how it'll be different for future FOX O&O newscasts. As you say, It's all about the money, better than another sitcom rerun you can check out on Hulu or some 3rd rate syndie strip.

Easy: Their precious gun rights are being threatened.
Ding Ding Ding. Not to mention 'conservative' has-beens or never was threatening to shoot the opposite party. See Ted Nugent 'please'.

Anyone love a good reboot? See what WBZ did with "One4All". Complete with well at the end you will see it.
FAN. TAS. TIC. YES! A standard in reboot anything has been raised since Ducktales (and to an extent, fuller house, but i digress) Gleeful from the 1st second when the theme hits. Are there stronger words than amazing or EPIC? There's gotta be.

I noticed towards the end of CBS 2 news at 5 Maurice was going solo. Any idea what may have happened to Kristine?
Kristine was live on location in Wyckoff, NJ as that town prepares to go into storm recovery.

have you seen WREYtube's clip of "It's My Miami" promotional campaign from '83? (also included is WTVJ News 4 team promo)
Wolfson Archive has posted a WTVJ 2-part news report on the campaign launch, featuring reporter Robyn Carter, later of WNYW's Good Day NY + WCBS-TV.
Even though, debatable, it might have been too cheery even for Miami's taste, given well documented accounts on the city's troubles, it was a baby step compared to the launch of an 'unofficial promo campaign' a year later called...'Miami Vice', which is self explanatory.

Wow, the whole 10-minute version in one video AND high quality!?
Not to mention the 'you're on' music itself held up damn well after all these years, endearing for a promo campaign. And i'm a fan of some underground/house/tech of 90's type of music.

A WTVH open with “Production Music: Industrial Power” appears at the beginning
Is that building still empty + has it been sold? Is the situation with WSTM still exists with LMA? (simulcasting newscasts but brand 'cbs 5 news' on 5)

One of these days maybe the industry will actually give a shit about the rampant alcohol abuse in TV news. 30 years of highs from the adrenaline spikes and the lows of daily news work.
I can tell you about folks who work the swing 3p-12a that by 12:30a they are completly shitfaced at home...awake until 5am...and running carpool with 3 kids at 8am. She reeks of booze in the AM. By the time she rolls in around 2:30pm most the boozy smell has been covered by strawberry body spray.
It's not a secret.
And she does good work and we all love her. But we also look the other way because she does good work...and nobody want's to be the one to mention the subject to her.
News people are supposed to be bullet proof and tough as nails.
Stations don't care. Sure they will pay for one trip to rehab but they never will deal with the core of the problem because stations are just getting cheaper and cheaper.
And lets be honest....
Many news people have no clue, and zero practical field training so they know what is really "out there" in the field and in the newsroom.
I would much rather work with somebody stoned then work with a chronic hungover crew member or teammate.
Stop drug testing for pot, test for opiates and screen for access alcohol abuse.
Amanda was hit by a transient event that mimicked a drunken stupor. I bet she even chalked it up to drinking like everyone else did. She and others ignored the warning signs...and her body gave up.
And if she was self detoxing off booze without direct Dr.'s supervision then she didn't stand a fighting chance.
Very sad, but the biz chews them up...and spits them out. Most never make it to 30 years...they die...or just burn out.
RIP Amanda
Why do i felt like i went to church? Powerful. Open communication in alcohol abuse in newsrooms or work environments or in life is badly needed. Someone no matter how much friends they have or approachable they are, could only show that much who they are. No one could really detect signs of one's stress that could lead to consequences, not even the one in stress. You never really recovered from problems, it's ongoing. Former ATL mayor Andrew Young said on CBS 46 (pardon me for paraphrasing a bit) that 'too many talented people don't have enough love in their lives + they have extra burdens, you'd think they have looks + material going on.' She'd felt alone when curtains close. Burden was her father's death + mother's hospitalization, taken care of others + not herself much. Yes we all have faults + here comes the phrases 'let him who is without sin cast the first stone' + 'Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones' but how much times do we say that to the point there may be fear of not confronting problems as one who cares, even as the stressed has to face the problems themselves? When one feels a loss, no matter how faultless they are, there's always a sense of guilt from what more could i've done, what signs did i miss when it comes to situations like this. Such levels of grief to deal.

California, May 1993 - about 24 different stations
[MEDIA=vimeo]247655678[/MEDIA]
Notes:
- The KCBS theme is one of my favorites, especially the long close.
- I'm not a fan of KNBC's "transitional" open they used for about a year.
- Sorry for the quality on KEYT - the feed in the hotel was horrible...
- I appreciate Jerry Dunphy's classic staccato "From the desert to the sea to all of Southern California, a good evening"
- Not that impressed with the stations in the central valley, save the solid look and feel of KFSN...
I dig KCBS theme especially the close. So catchy. KTLA 1990 theme not only represents such glory of an era, but hands down ranks up there as one of the greatest themes in the market of that era, if not of all time anywhere. I don't mind KNBC's opens at that time. Short but to the point, open itself is 'catchy' with cutaways + motions. KCOP's open was ahead of its time. It was like a tv show with cult following (think of a cooler 'broadcast news' or 'network' perhaps, lack of better examples, sorry) Man if there was any other place to be born other than NYC (and i wouldn't trade that for anywhere else) it would be LA. Life there at that time (or any time) must've been fun.

Fusion's quite kickass. I'll throw in SA's Extreme + Outlaw News*, 615's Magnum and why the hell not, Killer Tracks' FOX 1998 (as dated as it debuted). Honorary mention goes to Kalehoff's WNYW Jazzy 1994 theme. Anyone got cuts of that? So catchy.
