  1. TEN News Melbourne 6PM - Tiananmen Square Massacre 1989
  2. Agree with the above. HUUUGGE YouTube videos look terrible.
  3. Nine Newsflash 1991 - classic breaking news intro (recorded by yours truly) RAI 2 1989 - speaking of classic intros, I taped this as a primary school kid and I freaking love the uber-cool simplicity! (and I always found the blooper so delightfully Italian) TEN "Hard Copy" 1991 - Dope intro! RAI 1 Tempo 1989 - most badass weather guy in the world. Seven "Real Life" 1992 - speaking of badass intros. This was a 6:30pm nightly show in the 90s with Stan Grant. These were all taped by yours truly.
  4. What is the CNN theme used here on this ITN promo? Was it for Morning News? ITN News at Ten 1989, with LWT (London Weekend Television) News
  5. As Ten appears set to drop "Eyewitness" (for the third time in its history) and adopt the name "10 News First", here is when Ten first became strongly associated with the "First" brand.
  6. I thought you didn't like foreign-language videos?
  7. So where are you supposed to put Univision or Telemundo newscasts that are from the USA?
  8. Sky News Gulf War Coverage 1991 Sky News Overnight 1989 Anchor chat with Scott Chisholm and Selina Scott Sky News 1995
  9. Sydney 2000 Olympic Bid win in September 1993 - TEN breaking all-night coverage of the big announcement at 4:00 AM! (catch the decision at @4:30) Having watched this live as a kid, I can say this was one of the greatest thrills of my life!
  10. Nine News Adelaide 1988 Seven News Adelaide 1987 on GTS-BKN (inspired by NBC Nightly News) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=lmm5TANxMi4;t=50 Nine News Promo Adelaide 1991
  11. TEN Melbourne Eyewitness News w/Mal Walden 1991 Taped by yours truly at my grandparents' place in Malta: And a brief mash, taped by me also, with TEN Sydney 1990 open:
  12. The problem is - in David Muir, ABC found itself with a dramatic, attractive and especially flamboyant evening news host who is perfect for attracting viewers in the demo - notably women. It's like the so-called "appeal" of Justin Trudeau. Peter Jennings - although not gay - I remember was really the first to have this whimsical, conversational (and higher-pitched) kind of delivery that engendered a deeper kind of "connection" with the viewer than the more impersonal, old-school "voice of God"-style anchors like Dan Rather. Jennings definitely represented a "different" mould of anchorman in his era at ABC. And Muir was the logical successor to keep that style going (in his case, going way over the top. For what it's worth, I am not a fan of Muir's or ABC's new style at all). So, Jeff Glor is the opposite of this style. CBS's mistake was thinking it was just about age, and hiring a telegenic youthful anchor. No, it was about expressiveness and flair and drama - like it or not. Jeff hasn't got it.
  13. Wow. That's some serious nostalgia. The chemistry is just pouring out of that desk!
  14. World Tonight with Clive Robertson 1992 - from my tapes. I recorded this as a kid in Sydney. It is classic Clive - famously grumpy and crotchety, with a very, very dry sense of humor, he is even better here than the caricature spoof of him on a sketch comedy show - and yes, he talks about auditioning at another TV station! I also found the themes quite enlightened and classy pieces - worth listening to the long close. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=EKlRgdAzBxA;t=1140
  15. Ten Good Morning Australia 1989
