I don't think this has been posted...From Keystone Country, it's Action News 1976 WTAJ style!

Not many WOWK clips out there, but this is pretty good. They apparently tried a Charleston-Huntington split newscast a la WSAZ:

Interesting theme. The theme from the 1993 clips on YT sound similar...

More Irv Weinstein tribute, from the first buffalo edition of p.m. magazine 1979

 

Does anybody know what WIVB was using, theme-wise? Their station tagline "and that's why we're 4" at 10:05 is interesting.

What other stations? I guess I'm not up to speed on this. I know WTHR' date=' and now KNXT.[/quote']

 

I guess my point is how that guy shows up in so many vintage newscasts/promos etc.

A rare 1971 promo for The Big News, KNXT's legendary newscast:

Super cool! Jerry Dunphy at KNXT. As an aside, what station did Paul Udell NOT work at? LOL. He literally turns up everywhere.

Ed Planer saves NBC. When an update is about to go live and Chuck Scarborough is nowhere to be found:

Ok - it's officially here!

Really glad to see vintage Columbus!!

Has this WITI news snippet from 1979 ever seen this blog?

Yes it has.

KNXT, 1974 -- I always thought that WBBM was the first local station with a true newsroom set, but could it have been its sister station KNXT?:

KMOX debuted their "Newsroom" format in 1973. Anchoring from a newsroom was being done in the 1950's/60's. Tampa's WTVT is a good example. Seems like the 70's experienced a revival of the concept.

BTW, are there any clips of Jerry Dunphy anchoring at KNXT?

Ok, a bunch of WBNS from 1994 with the "tomato 10" logo and that hypnotic techno news theme. Notice the "time lapse" animation on the bumpers (i.e. 18:22)-they were big into that during this 1993-96 era. Check ouf the close at 19:10 and another open following that.

Alas, it's pretty crappy VHS quality::

WCWJ/WJKS 50 year tribute (Really well put together):

That same uploader put up one of the few Hellos you've never heard — WEVU! (Given the rarity of anything WEVU, this is a big find!)

I discovered that there is a Kindle book called "We View" by David Miller (former employee) that details the founding and early happenings of WEVU Ch. 26.

Superb WSB open with the short lived theme used from 1986-87:

KSDK has been posting several vintage promos:

For the Tampa Bay folks, here is a piece of nostalgia from 1974! Part of WTVT's tribute to "Salty Sol" Fleischman, the station's sports director, who retired in '74. Andy Hardy on the left, Salty Sol on the right and Dick Crippen, then of Ch. 10 WLCY in the back right.

I found this **Gem** of a promo for WTSP from the mid '80s on this bizarre YT channel. (Don't watch the rest of the video!). This is a high budget promo with an "actor"(?) telling us why "Action News" is the "New Leader"

WGN, Chicago; 9 p.m. close, 1979:

Does anybody know the music? Disco NewsNine!

WTSP "We're the Team!" promo:

WXFL 1987 11 o'clock news closing. Also, watch for a short program bumper at the very end for "Turn To News" by Gari:

Tampa Bay weather legend Roy Leep and much more on this channel!

WCMH 1994 promo that takes a dig at WBNS and its "24 Hour News Source" format

So pleased to see a full newscast from WTSP's 1992-94 era, a real enigma. I really liked that set, which was way more attractive than the one they debuted when they made the switch to CBS. The red/white/blue graphics were also better coordinated than what they used the rest of the decade. They also appear to have used three voiceover artists: Ed O'Brien (6 months!), Jeff Lawrence, and Brian James came in about late '93/early '94.

It seems like the goal was a 'feel good' newscast. Very consultant driven.

Okay, i dig the super long render of the Action News theme here..

Wish we could find a clean version of this amazing custom theme. WTSP used it a long time from early '83 to June of '89.

KTVI weekend in 1980 using On Top Of It All-- and a young Bryan Busby doing the weather.

KTVI went through a litany of changes in the late '70s. Can't keep track of the anchor changes, set changes, news themes.
