I found some amazing news-related and television ID-related videos on Youtube: KMBC 10:00pm News Clip (11/20/1983) (Includes the closing credits to a local discussion program on KMBC called "Sunday, Nuclear Sunday" and that night's news open using Gari Media Group's "So Good To Turn To") WBRZ Baton Rouge News Clip (1985) WAGA News Close (1986) (This clip features the final story of the newscast and the close using "Tuesday8" by Tuesday Productions) 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) WBRE Eyewitness News at Sunrise (1988) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TegXwpkdlA8 (The open features an interesting cut from Michael Randall's "NewsCenter II" music package) Super Time Sign-Off (Late 1970s?) (This is a rare signoff of "Super Time" from sometime in the late 1970s. I do believe that KTSF used this channel during the evening hours in the 1970s)
