  1. WFLD, Chicago; 9 p.m., 2005:
  2. And this is Arizona Prime (News) from just after KSAZ adopted the Fox 10 branding (although that is not apparent until roughly the 1:00 mark):
  3. I never realized that KSAZ's Arizona Prime lasted into the Fox 10 era:
  4. Not that it makes a huge difference, but it seems he died in a car crash: http://tucsoncitizen.com/morgue2/1994/10/17/192771-car-crash-kills-tv-announcer/
  5. WMAQ, Chicago; 10 p.m., 1978:
  6. WBBM, Chicago; 5 p.m. news, 2002:
  7. Ah, that makes sense! I thought it was the generic title of all their weekend newscasts.
  8. ABC's Weekend Report, 1982 (I wonder when the World News Tonight brand was extended to the weekend):
  9. WMAQ's 6 p.m. news from the day Chicago's Meigs Field was closed by Mayor Daley amid great controversy, 2003:
  10. From 2000, an edition of WBBM's ill-fated "alternative" 10 p.m. news with Carol Marin. (Let's hope that KUSA's 6 p.m. experiment is more successful and that it proves that local news doesn't have to be formulaic to be successful):
  11. Several KPNX teases from 1995:
  12. We've seen some really old clips; now here's something from the most recent year covered by this thread; the first minute or so of Barely Today, a quirky, short-lived 4:30 am newscast aired by WMAQ in 2007:
  13. Also from Phoenix, a complete 1988 KTSP newscast (10 p.m.):
  14. From 1992, a KTVK news tease and a promo: And from 1985, several newsbreaks from WGN:
  15. WCCO's 30th Anniversary Special:
  16. WCCO, Twin Cities, 1975, 6 p.m. with Skip Loescher, later a CNN reporter: WCCO, 10 p.m news, 1979:
  17. And another KPNX promo with the same message:
  18. In 1994, KPNX was the only Phoenix station not to change affiliations. This is how the station promoted its bond with NBC at the time: And here are a couple of KNPX updates/teases from that period:
  19. BTW, this promo shows what KTVK's midday news looked like four years later:
  20. Another Phoenix gem from ewjxn: KTVK's 11 AM Arizona Morning from 1981. Looks a bit like early Good Morning Arizona, which launched 13 years later!
  21. Live from streetside Studio 5... WMAQ, Chicago; 10 p.m., 2004:
  22. Haven't had enough of Phoenix? Here's a 1980 KOOL promo announcing a new time for the station's midday news: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=XC8wurxPZQg;m=7;s=00
  23. And another non-newscast gem -- a KPNX sign-off from 1983 featuring Hello News:
  24. Back to Phoenix... KPNX, a transitional-era Action News Digest, 1986:
  25. Of course, any discussion of SNG truck promos feels incomplete without a mention of "Beyond the Nut Tree" with Leslie Nielsen:
