Still super weird seeing Clayton Vaughn in New Joisey.

It's just a guess on my part, but maybe Hummingbird Productions?

The weatherman? Dr. George Fischbeck (or simply Dr. George); holder of AMS Seal #92, a bit of an unusual thing to have in LA.

Well, Ernie would get his “revenge” (in a manner of speaking) four years later when he voiced the open for a CBS affiliate. Maybe they were allowed to do voice work for another network’s local stations.

In the open, was that...Danny Dark?!?!?

Don't forget future former Arizona congressman J.D. Hayworth.

Sad. He posted weather updates on his Twitter right up until last Thursday. Head in the clouds right to the end.

I definitely did a double take when I saw Ed. That ended up sending me to this video with a 1987 open and Ed live from the Metrodome with an interview with Marv Albert (misindentified by the chyron guy as Herb Alpert).

A ton of promos from Klein&'s Show Me 5 campaign for KSDK.

I think I figured out who did the epic KCRA 1993 Theme. Take a listen to this bumper, if you may.. Sounds a lot like Non-Stop, doesn't it? It wouldn't surprise me if Non-Stop did some themes we may have never suspected, they were known to switch up their instrumentations a lot more than other firms. Their WGHP Theme is an excellent example, it sounds completely different from the likes of First News and News Central.

That full open, with what I suspect is a Michael Randall theme, is definitely going in my wish list.

Well, KTVK is very different station; though I'm sure you knew that already.

Florida, Texas, and New Jersey are the holy trinity of reckless driving.

Dead ringer for Tuesday. And speaking of Tuesday, I'm pretty sure these promos from WCPX are from Tuesday, as well. The first one even has the same musical signature as Tuesday11. The WCPX 1982 themes might very well be from Tuesday11, possibly a different package, but definitely Tuesday.

Looks more like the old Vagisil logo to me.

You can see a brief snippet of a Gulf ID at 1:28 in this clip from...KESQ.

Bob Koop and Kathleen Sullivan. Heck of a pair.

Tuesday, actually. Scroll to 4:23.

And the shell game continues. At least it’s not Cunningham...

This switch actually ended up having a domino effect all the way in Milwaukee. Storer was so steamed at ABC for disaffiliating with KCST; that they ended up pulling ABC away from WITI.

Compare the 1985 open, and you'll notice that WSVN used to call it's sat truck Newstar 7 before changing it to Skycom. Why change? Because Newstar was a trademark of Hubbard's CONUS network; and around 1986 or so WTVJ would supplant WSVN as the CONUS affiliate in Miami (perhaps foretelling NBC's identical move a few years later). Hence WSVN had to change their sat truck's name.

Clayton Vaughn in New Jersey?!?!

WABI seemed to have a strict hair code for it's female talent.

Anyone also notice Michael Bolton at the beginning?

I wouldn’t be one of them though; that’s a decent package, right there.
