And here's the abbreviated newscast from 1990 that features that KCRA intro and open. Also get a taste of their jazzy bumper music from the late 80s / early 90s

And in a vote for most sleepy news intro of all time... KXTV 1991

KCRA 1990 preshow KCRA 1988-90 open The logo popping out of the wall is low budget but clever

KHSL Chico 1988 That set is recycled -- it was KPIX's from 1980-84. KCPM Chico 1988

Hey - anyone remember which Newsactive 3 reel has the early 80s (I think about '84) KOA Denver open... There's one here. The one I'm looking for has same music, but the talent graphics portion is more over the top.

KPIX Eyewitness News 1982 - story profiling their rise to #1 in the market, some great interviews with the anchors and managers. This team stayed together for another 7 years or so. Some good clips of their opener too. Now their rise to #1 also coincided with the rise of the 49ers, which aired on CBS...but no mention of that. http://www.youtube.c...41&feature=plcp

KCRA 1986 11PM Open and clip Poor sound quality but you get the gist. Basically in 1986 they launched this set and added less urgent, more symphonic opening music, but the opening graphics were in an interim state before a full 3D package later in the year. And in this clip you get a voiceover promo with part of their 80s package in the background

And a peek at KCRA 1988-90 graphics http://www.youtube.com/user/FlyCoJoe#p/u/3/IsgczxKGRCw

Midway through this are some shots of KNTV and KGO sets from 1988 http://www.youtube.com/user/FlyCoJoe#p/u/5/4l2DBkTHKG8

KOVR mid 80s open -- with Newsmat set http://www.youtube.com/user/FlyCoJoe#p/u/1/Fba6hnJllsM

KCRA mid-80s open and small clips of newscast from December 1985. I think their more elaborate 3D open debuted the following year. This music/open probably dates from '83 or '84.

KNTV early 1990s - 1995 5PM open KNTV early 1990s - 1995 6PM open

KGO 1982-84 open Set lasted 1982-85 when they moved to a new building Music 1982-84 in a brief respite from Cool Hand Luke themes -- they would break again in 1987-88

KRON Live at Five teaser and open April 1985 http://www.youtube.com/user/WhatsAYak#p/u/34/WrFZOnamZ6c KRON Live at Five promo http://www.youtube.com/user/WhatsAYak#p/u/38/akmVhF4LA4o

Full KRON NewsCenter 4 Update from January 1986 in three part. Bay Area people will recognize a still making his mark with shameless self promotion Gary Radnich. And at the very end, a tease for the arrival of Sylvia Chase as the new coanchor. I actually ran into Emerald Yeh from this clip on a flight from SF-NY a couple weeks ago and she hasn't aged much in the last 25 years. She boarded at the very end. Went back to say hi after I finsished brunch but she was fast asleep. http://www.youtube.com/user/80sCommercialVault#p/u/3/JK0dozqRhgQ

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3FV_l1CfJM&feature=channel_page KTLA News at Ten full close with the funky music they used during most of the 80s. This youtube member has a lot of other stuff hiding in there as well, most posted in the last couple of weeks.

KRON ID and open from 1982 -- top story is identical to CA headlines earlier this summer http://www.youtube.com/user/Mr94549#play/uploads

2/19/1985 KPIX Eyewitness News Nightcast - Part 1 of 3 Parts 2 and 3 are easy enough to find from that link. Full newscast from a transition period at KPIX -- several months after a new set and logo debuted, but before the graphics and music were changed, though some unique weather graphics had switched over. Number one newscast though. You have to respect the quick but still easy to follow pacing of the pre-show.

1995 KARE 11/KSTP 5/WCCO 4 footage. You get a good look at the KARE 11 early 90s set that bridged between the original 1983 Gannett-style set and the 1996-2007 set -- though all 3 are evolutions of each other. The video date is wrong -- the outbreak was in Feb 1995.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVAEN9adrrQ&feature=related This clip has the KNTV open from 1991-1995 -- they added a new variation of the theme for the 11pm news -- and another (not on this) for the 5 and 6; and left the original theme for the early morning and midday.

KNTV news open from 1986. Guessing the set lasted from 1984-87/88 or so. This was the generation prior to them adding the "San Jose NewsChannel" and "Do you know the way to san jose" music. Open is identical to the 'test' opens eyeontv posted for WDVM that never aired. KNTV open WDVM test

http://cbs5.com/video/[email protected] http://cbs5.com/video/[email protected] Some more vintage KPIX from the passing of anchor Doug Murphy. If you fast forward to about 3:45 in the first clips you'll start to see some memories of Doug Murphy with some opens, views of the sets, graphics, etc.

Here's the KPIX link. Clip is from about May 1988...shortly after the set/open were introduced. I think a bit later they introduced some better choreographed bay area visuals. Vaguely remember the altamont windmills and some ferry shots.

Beautiful KPIX open used from 1988. Sadly, with budget cuts they went to a near cold open and dropped this animation in 1990. http://tvnewstalk.net/filefix/index.php?action=reminder;sa=setpassword;u=438;code=2ee0ef7296 The open is 6pm, but the clip cuts to the 11pm Nightcast broadcast.
