I listened to this a bunch of times; it sounds a lot like Tuesday to me. Them and Peters were both in San Diego, so there may have been some overlap in terms of the musicians they used.

Hate to bring up such an old post, I have the answer. It's Chris de Burgh, believe it or not. A deep track called "Last Night".

Very similar to WTOG's graphics from the same era. WTOG was WVIT's sister station for that brief period between the WNYT/WHEC trade to Hubbard and WVIT's sale to NBC.

Why can’t Glendive TV look that good?

He's not dead.

Most definitely a Gari jingle, complete with Florence Warner. And that may be the only instance I know of an NBC affiliate airing Arsenio (and the Disney Afternoon).

WPTV must have joined the Florida News Network. Stations in that group (WJXT, WPLG, WTSP, WFTV were some of the others) would often donate their reporters to the other stations for big, statewide stories.

A timely video, considering that with recent acquisitions WGN will begin to have clown commentaries in earnest. Insert Boris Epshteyn reference here.

And that cue lives on in 2017, in snarky sports videos.

Lug nuts! Tyahs ain't pretty!

I love those first three KMTV opens. I've been wanting to see those since I saw a tease left after a Jeopardy! episode posted on YouTube. The musical signatures don't seem to match any of the known news music composers, but rather that of Nebraska's own Chip Davis of Mannheim Steamroller.

I was driving in Bethlehem and saw a lottery ad on a digital billboard aside the Hill to Hill bridge; it had WPVI's logo on it. Either it was a mistake, or 6 is about to get the lottery drawings back.

Who can forget News! News! And more news!

Definitely. He's based in the DC area, he announced Washington Week on PBS for long time.

Reminds me of KXTV's late 80's look.

Don't let the WFXT debacle fool you, Cox is still a really good group.

Yeah, Sinclair would be such an improvement. You know they would snap up all the conflicts they could, including WTSP.

Think The Weather Channel was the first to name winter storms? Think again. Here's WFSB in Hartford, CT covering Winter Storm "Ginger" way back in 1996.

Bobbie Battister in Atlanter. And who could forget:

Found some more WBIR, one of the earliest uses of the "craft shop 10" which had, fortunately, not yet found it's way onto the news logo. Highlights include a very serious cut of Newsmark (which is rather juxtaposed next to that heart), and future subject of Trump's nightmares Jim Acosta. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=b43I7iAtfPw;m=9;s=26

EyeOnTV's back; among his additions, this, the first real artifact of the 1988 affiliate switch in Knoxville. The only video related to this event up until now was...this. Now, at the end of this parable, there was implication that WBIR had made a big mistake ending their long-standing partnership with CBS in order to hook up with NBC, now coated in that Cosby luster. It wasn't a mistake, though; WBIR would eventually become one the country's most dominant stations.

Behind the scenes at Thames News. Going in, you might expect something special, even whimsical, in the news gathering process at the legendary Thames Television in London. If that's the case, prepare to be disappointed; Thames made news exactly the same way as, say, WSAZ or KFVS did here, stateside. I guess that's supposed to be expected; no point in reinventing the wheel.
