Yes. This is what could properly be called KTSP's "The Vision" era (that was their station slogan) and was the final hurrah of the NewsCenter 10 name. (They also had an image campaign, similarly barely documented, to go with it. We know about eight words of the song thanks to a 1989 article on Shelly Jamison's firing: "Look to the vision, the vision of today".) "The Vision" (and the corresponding opens and new set) debuted in 1989, as the Valley's traditional news leader suddenly found that KTVK had zoomed ahead. There's a post in here comparing KTSP to KTVK at this time: The station updated its sunset 10 logo for the first time — this one used primarily in orange and shared with WTSP, which also took the "NewsCenter 10" branding from its Phoenix sister as it worked to put its computer hacking scandal in the rear-view mirror. KTSP's station voice in The Vision era was Al Vanik, who was based in Phoenix. It was his first TV voiceover work — channel 10 had hired him in 1987, but it wasn't until going to The Vision that he was on the news opens. He had previously done two years at KOY. The Vision was put to bed by March 1992, and so was NewsCenter 10 (and Nightcast). In its place, KTSP ditched orange for sky blue, made the 10 larger in its logo, commissioned a new music package from 615 originally called "Round the Clock News" (more famously known as Pinnacle), and began branding as Channel 10 News.

And some more 80s WXFL:

I'm sure it fascinated Fox Kids viewers in 1994 when it asked kids to write to the governor of Missouri to halt a planned execution.

The Phoenix faucet keeps dripping. Now, a KPHO weather update:

ONE OF MY PHOENIX HOLY GRAILS!

Did I just hear "NewsCenter 10"? Yes please. This channel is a sudden treasure trove of Phoenix commercials and TV material: You know a channel is a keeper when it has KNXV ON-TV material, too!

I believe I've identified a voiceover! I believe this is Tony Evans, a longtime Phoenix radio fixture (KRIZ, KOPA, KSLX, KYOT). He did voiceover work for KTVK in the 80s, we know that, and his voice is instantly familiar even today. I don't think he is the voice of the "Arizona's News People" opens that was once confused with Casey Kasem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=By_IGRhIhn4;t=177 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=cMbJcvW3nKg;t=32

ASCAP called.

I'm posting this one separately because I had no flippin' idea this existed: Apparently "Nation's Business Today" was on the air from November 4, 1985 to September 27, 1991, putting this June 1991 airing at the tail end of its run. Production was handled by the US Chamber of Commerce.

And what the heck is this open? It's from June 17, 1987, but it's not the fancy open from just a couple years earlier (same theme though). A full KOTV hour newscast! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=kSByoHF5grs;t=7 Also, KJRH with News One (!) in 1996 (!!). And a WDRB update for WFTE from 1996:

Great stuff. Ping me when you get to Phoenix.

I hear the resemblance in the beginning, but not in the story bed at all.

I think we're missing a generation of opens from right after the callsign change, personally.

It's not often a KUMV promo lands on YT: Hey, KXJB in the 80s (this channel also has a range of KXJB Christmas tapes!):

That's not all...

This is a rarity: two WCCO news updates on KLGT from 1994. KLGT later aired part of the short-lived "News of Your Choice" experiment from WCCO. The voiceover in the intro also did KLGT's IDs:

There's a missing KOVR era here, and it's missing because it did not last long at all...

The banishment of "My" continues... (Though for KDFI, this seems a little less necessary than it might have been for some of the ex-UPN outlets...)

A full KVBC newscast from May 1995:

Back up the truck, it's more Randy Dunford (though no local opens):

Wow, I had no idea that was a KOVR open. That may say something.

You know what was even better? The mid-90s opens with an animation across the Texas State Capitol:

The hits keep on coming! No Phoenix news material but the KNXV promos are a nice bonus and the regional Satellite News Channel stuff is pretty darn rare.

A WYTV close from 1982!:
