Bumping this up: long before social media provided the storylines of the daily serials at the click of a mouse or the press of a phone key, the networks then did their own promos for what was to come on the daily serials, and you never knew what would happen unless you followed those serials very closely. Here's a promo from May '81 for Another World (using NBC's Proud N and Serif Gothic promo font of the time):

Great point! That is why I said "or Tegna to make them that way" in parentheses: because I wasn't sure who was behind this (whether it was the station, or the owner). All that said, I appreciate the clarification; nonetheless, that is sad that one of the last remaining holdouts of the EWN title on NBC stations is no longer (we are now down to 3: WBRE Channel 28 in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, PA; WRCB Channel 3 in Chattanooga, TN; and KOB Channel 4 in Albuquerque, NM).

What would possess WTHR to no longer be Eyewitness (or Tegna to make them that way; don't know which)?! This makes Indy a seemingly vanilla town where news titles are concerned now, because when WTHR was Eyewitness, they had something that stood out for an NBC station.

Not long ago was the 66th anniversary of that classic CBS See It Now broadcast w/the late, great Edward R. Murrow, March 9, 1954, on Sen. Joseph McCarthy-- here is that broadcast from YouTube.

That they were on KNBC in the City of Angels then-- that said, here's a late edition from 10/14/88 where John Beard is in with Kelly (Keith must have been off for some reason): And the morning edition (Today in L.A.) from 10/13/88 (headline is the Dodgers' defeat of the Mets to advance to that legendary 1988 World Series [legendary owing to what would eventually be Kirk Gibson's famous 2-run homer off Dennis Eckersley]):

That was also after the title of the daily show lost the day-of-the-week modifiers that it had under Schieffer, and started simply to be called Morning.

More from btm0815ma: the full broadcasts of Sunday Morning for Dec. 6, 1981 and Dec. 2, 1984 (for which only the openings existed before; now we can see the full broadcasts of each, commercials and all)

He's gonna be missed up there in Iowa after that good, long run!

KCRG Channel 9 (ABC Cedar Rapids, IA): TV-9 Eyewitness News evening edition, July 22, 1987

WNBC NYC '85: inside what it took to put together the evening edition of News 4 New York then

Not to me either-- I like how the sunrise and sunset times are connected by a curved line above the sun icon (curving upward for sunrise, and downward for sunset). I also like how that wind speed figure has the arrow pointing to 6 mph, between the S and W on the compass (to indicate southwest).

KNBC L.A.: full 11 P.M. Channel 4 News Nightside late edition from Dec. 10, 1987 (Keith Morrison [still w/NBC News, last I recall], Kelly Lange, Fritz Coleman w/weather, Fred Roggin on sports, the late Jess Marlow w/a Cover Story, and David Sheehan, entertainment [Fritz and Fred are still on the evening edition on NBC4 today alongside Chuck and Colleen, IIRC; also includes short promo for Metro Traffic on Today in L.A. morning edition, mornings at 6:30)

KTRE Channel 9 (ABC Lufkin/Nacogdoches. TX): East Texas News evening edition opening, 1989

KNBC L.A.: 4/17/84 News 4 LA Nightside full late edition, w/Tritia Toyota, John Beard, Stu Nahan on sports, and Kevin O'Connell w/the weather (this came a while after Kevin's NBC game show Go was cancelled, and before he went back home to Buffalo [he's originally from there] to become the weatherman on WGRZ Channel 2 [NBC station of Buffalo]); also has opening of The Tonight Show w/the late Joan Rivers as guest host

Here is the other of those Morning broadcasts: Wednesday Morning, for Feb. 28, 1979:

From btm0815ma: an edition of the CBS News Morning show from 1979, not long after the flagship Sunday Morning debuted (this edition was Tuesday Morning, and was from Tuesday, April 17, 1979 [back in 1979, there wasn't just Sunday Morning w/Charles Kuralt, but also Monday Morning, Tuesday Morning, Wednesday Morning, et al. w/Bob Schieffer; all those were anchored far differently to the Kuralt Sunday show, in that they were more about the news of the day, and less features]). Also attached are some title shots from that broadcast, from different shots of the set.

'83 MLB All-Star Game: NBC promo for the same, w/Be There music (Danny Dark announcer)

1983 Week 11 Seattle/St. Louis NFL broadcast on NBC, from the old Busch Stadium in St. Louis (preceded by a full edition of NBC's NFL '83 pregame show w/Len Berman, Pete Axthelm, Bill Macatee, Dave Marash and Ahmad Rashad; the first time I've ever seen that season's NFL pregame show from NBC)

WBBM Chicago: 1980 version of "Nobody Does It Better" promo... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wf3xS-eDi6w

ABC News Weekend Report, Sat. Dec. 18, 1982 (includes commercials, and signoff of KGTV Channel 10 [ABC of San Diego]):

Why didn't WNDU (if they were so insistent on News Now) make their new title in the form of what KXLY (Channel 4, ABC of Spokane, WA) recently did? Also, I'd definitely like for WLOX to go the way of KXLY as well.

1989-94 TBS Sports Atlanta Hawks title track (don't think I've heard this in full, ever!)

EPCOT Magazine, a daily newsmagazine show on The Disney Channel w/Michael Young and a different cohost each day (Michael Young's cohost on this edition from 1983 [the show started w/the advent of The Disney Channel on April 18, 1983] is Morgan Brittany of O-R CBS Dallas) More on that from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPCOT_Magazine

Don't think this was posted here: the premiere opening of Sunday on the Nine Network from Down Under, 11/5/81 (anchorman Jim Waley expresses similar goals to what the late, great Charles Kuralt expressed on Sunday Morning on CBS in 1979 here in America)...

Didn't know he passed on until now-- what from?! The obit from KVUE states only that it was a brief illness.
