Columbus, OH, news clips from 1991, including a WBNS close:

WTSP 1991 news update:

WMBD 1978 news open: http://www.fuzzymemories.tv/index.php?c=4737 The production values are superb! They were using all the video effects available. Great unknown theme. Also Carol LeBeau is the co-anchor. Great find.

WKRC (1979?) clip with unknown theme:

WBNS "People You Can Count On" image campaign song:

There's a WJAR 1985 news open at 12:24 on this video. It features the "WJAR 1986" theme that I assume must have debuted in 1984:

Great sample posted of KNBC's 1982-85 package by Tuesday on the NMSA.

Not sure where to post this... Nice update on the NMSA. An open from WCKT with "Count on Us" has surfaced. Would love to see that. Also, Gavin/Conners was finally credited on the 1977 WBNS theme.

Low budget news open from the former WYEA in Columbus, GA, with a mysterious Tuesday track:

Cool 1984 KOMO news helicopter promo and :Fourmost Movie" bumper:

Nice promo for WTHR from 1984. No music, but it does feature the slogan, "the News Specialists: NBC's 1983 affiliate theme still in action at WTHR in 1984:

It appears they only used "Hello News" from 1980-82. They moved into their current building in 1982 and I suspect that's when they picked up the KSL theme (News Specialists?). It seems they adopted the WBNS "People You Can Count On" theme around 1985 and used until 1987 when that custom theme debuted.

OK, here's a WTHR 1986 open with "People You Can Count On": Also, take a look at this. It features the unknown WTHR 1987 theme.. Notice the slogan at the end: "Proud to Call It Home": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9fOcN9x51c

This clip is interesting. It's from WTHR in January 1987. Listen to the bumpers. It's not "Hello News". It's "People You Can Count On" a la WBNS. Wish we could find an open.

WBNS 1996 newscast. This is the best executed station image I've ever seen. Those graphics are super cool:

WLWT 1982 11pm open with Clyde Gray: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xhrq2Ns78nE

KARE 1993 11 p.m. I am not a huge fan of the "Newsmark" package, but the closing cut is fantastic and then the Gannett deathstar:

Yeah, without seeing Julia Child and the Playhouse Theatre clips, most probably would not have known this is a PBS station.

PBS (!) affiliate WEDU in Tampa/St. Petersburg, FL, used a Klein & promotional campaign: 3 For All circa 1983:

KGTV 1979 newscast with Jack White. Also includes part of World News Weekend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBsfShPeTg0

WJRT 1992 newscast w/ "Building a Better Texas" theme: Solid newscast for a small market.

I wonder what Gavin/Conner wrote for WTAE?

WFLA 6:00 news open with several familiar Tampa faces, probably 1986. Also note Don Harrison on the voiceover:

WTSP 1992 news open: Reginald Roundtree spot:

WPEC 1985 open at the end of this: Save it before it gets taken down.
