Now, for the first time in 2.5 decades (it's been that long since I saw it way back when in 1993), the opening of a syndie movie package called Columbia Night at the Movies (being as I hadn't seen it since I was 12 [that's when I saw it for the first time], my illusions about its nature were shattered, and remarkably so):

How do you mean by that? Is it because they do more editorializing than actual reporting?

Never thought of it that way-- did not know, either, until you clarified.

Why would Hearst make it such that only the evening edition of NewsCenter5 would be available to stream?

Noticed how young Michael was then (apparently in his early 30s)-- he's graying now in his late 50s. Also, noticed when Geoff Hart was on sports there then (in that Clemson/Carolina Big Game commercial); he's a morning edition man now alongside Amanda Crawford, with Dale Gilbert being the weatherman.

KNBC News 4 LA Nightside (late edition from that L.A. NBC O&O), 1984; Nick Clooney is the anchorman

The midday report, evening edition and late edition in one package?! That's a lot!

I see what you mean: no color balancing!

Part 2 of CBS commercials from a Nov. 1987 CBS College Football broadcast between the Oklahoma Sooners and the Nebraska Cornhuskers: encompasses the entirety of The Prudential College Football Report (halftime show w/Jim Nantz and the late Ara Parseghian), but also includes a newsbrief from KWTV Channel 9 (CBS station of Oklahoma City), and other commercials

It certainly did! Was there an update that quickly that caused the Junkie to take it down and redo it?

Another of the few NBC stations that had the sports man billed as "on sports": WGAL Channel 8 (NBC Harrisburg/Lancaster/York, PA), circa 1989, for the late edition (which announcer Charlie Van Dyke billed as the "Late Report" of NewsCenter 8).

Do you think that you might be able to include it in a revision? After all, IIRC, you have posted revised editions of many of the packages you posted earlier to include new material that was recently discovered since you first posted those packages.

ABC WNT, 5/23/83 (David Brinkley in Washington, substituting for Frank Reynolds)

Doesn't even have the channel number in it, just "WCTV"!

All the videos you've made-- have they been composed from existing openings (both those that are still on YouTube, and those that were, but are no longer)?

What I wonder is why, in one of those WTVD openings, the main anchors are mentioned by name, but weather and sports are referred to generically (meaning that there are weather and sports segments, but the people on those are not mentioned)?

Did not know that! I was wondering how they could make that claim, but now you brought it to light.

They weren't the only one-- KSTP did it too!

Why would KTVI have Geraldo (syndie talk show) in place of a 6 P.M. report?

Just saw-- well done!

James Still profile on WTVQ in 1990; was this a 5:30 show going into 6 P.M.? The reason I ask is because John and Sky say good evening after Charlie Van Dyke delivers his spiel, and I was just wondering.
