News. Out. Of. The. Box. 15 minutes of show elements and highlights in glorious 60fps at master quality! This might be the vintage news video of the year, and it's only January 8.
There's also some other material...

Definitely 3.0 related especially if 28.1 remains as the PSIP assignment.
Columbus could be all hands on deck since Sinclair, Nexstar and Tegna are all part of the same partnership. The question is, which station will be the 3.0?
WWHO is the host. WTTE is being used to host WWHO's CW and Charge subs (Comet to WCMH). I don't see anything related to WBNS, but it definitely will include WCMH.

Wendy Gordon, one of the first female anchors in the Portland market, has died at 71. She worked at KOIN and then moved to KHJ-TV Los Angeles in the 1980s, before leaving in 1990 (around the time of the KCAL launch).

Welcome to the DFW and Houston market, Weigel Broadcasting.
Took Weigel only about 40 years from their first attempt... (They competed for channel 45 for years before it was awarded to Pueblo, which started KXLN)

Finally, more Renaissance 2-era KDKA, and this time an actual newscast!

This is 1985; I believe the Bill Meeks Spirit of Oklahoma package was created in 1987. (Tracy Carman/Media Preservation Foundation uploaded the sales demo to Soundcloud, from the master reel, and it was dated 11-Nov-1987, so this KLTV news package must predate it.)
What's weird is that's a "second wave" that not even KWTV used.
The original debuted in 1985 at the latest.

Hopefully, someone can find this use of the package!
We definitely do not have enough KLTV, and the clues we have are mighty interesting: Spirit of Oklahoma (Meeks), this whole thing, and the early 90s when they evidently kept using this theme. There's also the switch from "Pride of East Texas" to "Proud of East Texas".
I did just find two Copyright Office entries for "USA image song" to Randy Thornton of Non-Stop dated 1985. There are also credits for Looking Great (1985), Nowhere Else (alt. melody of First News, dated 1986), Right Before Your Eyes (1985), (The) Place to Be (1985, with a news package dated 1987 titled Action News/The Place to Be News), and Spirit of the '90s (1990).-

Hey @TServo2049@Samantha wonder Samatha if you could move these replies and the initial videos or a part of this into the discovered/identifying composers thread? I didn't want to help accidentially steer off this thread in the wrong way haha. I agree with you TServo. I can hear the 4-note motif in KSL 1989 as well. The place where I hear similiarities is the melody in places between the image song and Non-Stop USA News on the NMSA montage. Otherwise, the older news themes have that Tuesday sound... for sure! Just a thought, but it's always possible Non-Stop created the vocal campaign initially without a news package and later on developed news themes based on the popularity and use of the song? Tuesday could have been inspired by Non-Stop's song campaign and developed that KSL 89 etc theme... or Non-Stop initially made a theme or two when the vocal campaign was made and later on went all out with the legit orchestral news package update to supplement the vocals. So many ways this one could go.
Done!

Wait...so that promo song was Non-Stop?! Does that mean it was connected to "KTRE 1993 News Theme", like I initially thought, and not "KSL 1989 News Theme"? I swear I hear the exact 4-note motif in both KSL 1989 and that promo song.
I wonder...could KSL 1989 have also been Non-Stop, and not Tuesday? I always assumed it was Tuesday, it always sounded like Tuesday to me, and I thought I had gotten enough confirmation from Tom DiNoto before I submitted the composer ID to NMSA. But I went back and dug up his response from 2013, and he actually said "Sounds like us...but can't be sure." It still sounds very Tuesday to me...but is it really?
We're kinda thinking that
KTRE 93WAFF 88 and KSL8988 might be connected too.Now that I think about it, one of the many articles I've dug up on Non-Stop over the years might actually be mentioning this: https://www.deseret.com/1989/8/28/18821472/recording-whim-led-to-a-hot-impulse-br-top-10-status-of-his-new-age-jazz-album-surprises-orem-musici
QuoteWork on the contemporary jazz collection was sporadic, sandwiched between other commitments in 1988, including composing and recording themes for ABC's Monday Night Football and Movie of the Week and music for local KSL and KTVX news.

@TServo2049@newsteam13 The WAFF/KUSA vocal campaigns brought back a memory. I have not heard this one in years. KLTV in Texas used the same vocals. KLTV.... East Texas... USA... We're Proud of You (or) Proud of You. Heard it on a non-stop vocal campaign sampler years ago. Gets confusing here - maybe the vocal campaign preceded, by several years, the news package commission for KUSA in 1995? You can hear melody similarities on the nmsa USA NEWS montage - around :30-:54 and definitely around 1:25 and a few other places.
I personally believe the news package was created well before 1995 based upon the sounds and instrumentation which would back up the vocal campaign coming out in the 80's. Hope this may help in the answer, even if I'm wrong.
Thank you!! KLTV + KTRE used the news theme as well and it seemed *really* obvious there'd be a sung something or other.
The Non-Stop "USA Package" is listed in ASCAP but with some surprisingly late users that we have never been able to confirm: KJCT, KOAM (which doesn't fit what we do know of their news music history), WAWS and WUSA. It appears to have been made in 1993 or so.
Bestor and Sam Cardon (Tamara is his wife) did not join Non-Stop until 1986.
I also went into BMI (that's ASCAP) and found a "USA FIRST NEWS PACKAGE" mention, but I dunno if that might have been the USA network or some sort of bridge package with First News.

Most of the VHF Channels are moving from a VHF digital channel to a UHF digital channel. Now that the “freeze “ has lifted. Are more likely ahead.
I would not be surprised one bit.

All I can say is wow! I feel this like 2009-2010 all over again. 20+ petitions filed on the same day? Damn!
Channel substitutions were happening after the DTV transaction, when many vacated off the problematic VHF signals and move to UHF. Then all that ended when they reinforced the freeze in 2011, in anticipation of the forthcoming (and now completed) spectrum auction and repack.
With the freeze lifted completely, this may not be the last of those substitution filings.......
Yeah, it was Gray and Sinclair that were ready day one.
ATSC 3.0 was hailed as an improvement for low-V and high-V, but it instead seems that the thought of mobile reception is sending broadcasters flocking to Us. Even if they have to buy other stations to do it (see KMPX).
I have no idea why WAOE wants to change COLs (there's no facilities change and it's in the same DMA, allegedly).
One of the mods was interesting on the Nexstar side: WDVM wants to move south—and closer to DC.

WWCP in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, is being transferred closer into Sinclair's orbit.
Peak Media is selling the station to Johnstown (WWCP-TV) Licensee, which will be a Cunningham subsidiary. Peak already had brokered the station's time to Cunningham. Cunningham will acquire WWCP-TV's antenna, its Fox affiliation agreement, and its 1996 Interim Operating Agreement to operate WATM-TV for $2.85 million.
This marks the exit from television for Peak's owners, Elliot Evers, Gregory Widroe and Brian Pryor. Evers and Widroe hold minority stakes in five Chico market radio stations in the Deer Creek cluster, and Evers is trustee for three divestiture trusts of radio stations run by Cumulus and Cox.
