That KMST set...never seen one like that for evening news. Looks like they were going for the living room of a seaside cottage.

KRON NewsCenter 4 Update 12/31/86 - vintage early Gary Radnich joking with Emerald Yeh during the sports segment

Cool WXYZ clips - that transition from the 5-6pm with the 6pm anchors walking on set is a gem. Probably the most interesting dual set I've seen - lots of variety in shots. And mixing it up with original Cool Hand Luke and the Gari cuts is another nice touch.

KOMO April 1987 6:30pm preshow and open No talent open - hard to find much from the mid 80s KOMO era - great theme from Dan Dean - an 'indie' classic right up there with the indie KCRA and KDKA themes around the same time July 1986 11pm open

Gary Radnich’s Bowler of the Night and Pete Wilson’s Circular File of dismay. Back then I knew watching those were peak times for that station’s talent.

Rare find of a station that ran Telesound And You + Signature together like KPIX and WCIX - some cuts I haven't heard since the 80s there. Looks like someone at KLAS posted a bumper a while back

KTVU Noon 7/1993 - from the early-mid 90s period they used Brave New World for the Noon and early evening weekend newscast

KCRA 1993 Noon - preshow bumper you can hear the direct update of the mid 80s cut

KCRA 11pm 12/31/89 - preshow is from the 83ish package, rest of the cuts from an 88 update KCRA 1993 6:30pm

Looking at that KCPM clip enjoy how 2nd / 3rd place small market news back then was often a time capsule 5 - 7 years behind in presentation

Indeed, and the set got a touchup around then for the transition to the Trivers Myers theme and graphics - but same space they used for years prior You can see at 14:40 here

2/29/92 KNBC Weekend clip - didn't realize they kept the jazzy sax close into 1992. Guess it changed when the set got updated later in the year.

KGO Channel 7 News Tonight preshow 1988

Good to see some melody back it's a missed branding opportunity for so many shows to use unintrusive music. Would be nice to see GMA bring back the hamlisch signature when things go back to being more lifestyle oriented.

Anyone want to bet the 83ish KPRC theme (also used at KICU San Jose) was a Telesound production http://www.newsmusicsearcharchive.com/#3,1,524 Shrill strings, opens with the repeating text of the anchor names scrolling down seem the giveaways

KNBC Channel 4 News Nightside January 1993 (clip date is wrong) - still using the 1987 open

KNTV 'Kids Report' 1990 At the opening of the San Jose kids museum they set up a booth for kids to do a mock newscast. You get a sample of the Siilvertree 1987 opening theme at the beginning, and then the first part of the closing theme at the end. Always liked how they used a piano for the teletype effect in that theme - you hear it during the close.

KGO 7/25/1990 No talent in the open - Pete Wilson had recently departed for KRON. Not long after this they changed the graphics / logo to something in-house (instead of the Welch / Cap Cities style) and wouldnt' use a talent open for another couple years. And here's the pre-show bumper

Wow that KRON set looks like a precursor to the Welch newsmat with the skyline view and logo superimposed above

I like it - old school without the ABC logo Was that the temp set while they built the 2004-2011 skyline set? Don't remember the 90s set having the blue panels on the side and such a narrow control room mural.

Behind the scenes at KRON 1994

KTVU May 1982

1990s KNBC opens compilation Glad someone there was / is a TV marketing nerd

Wow what a story - too bad for all involved Was hoping some of the KCRA Where the news comes first mystery could be solved via VTS but maybe it was other shops

Great team - epitome of New York
