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.

KRON 1970s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObpxWGQ-2yY

KIRO news open from Dec. 1980. Not great quality. Can anyone confim they used "Classical Gas" by Telesound in the 1970s?

Nice compilation, but I think they missed at least two themes. Good enough, though.

This is a big find: KGTV 1986 newscast with "News 88"! I wonder if the "News 88" title is even accurate at this point?? Maybe a spin-off of "The News Image"?

I don't think this has been posted here. WJXT 1974 talent IDs from Dolphin Productions:

For a small market at the time, that's actually a slick open. Somebody put some thought into that one.

Portions of KFMB's ill fated "This Day" from 1986:

WTVN 1986 news open w/ "Spirit of Ohio" theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lq_MBzgrjE

Not local news, but a broadcast with one of the top broadcasters ever, Don Harrison, at Headline News in 1987:

Clips from a WFLA 1976 newscast on this channel. There is no open, but the close is included here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aIfHmQEEio
