CISA is Lethbridge, Alberta used the theme in the mid 90s and I never found out where it was from. It's one that is in my "favourites" list from Canada! (2&7 C-I-S-A, Turn to us!) Thanks! J

Wonder if that's a Gannettt thing... WKYC in Cleveland had an ice desk and the weathercaster did a rap (which was skewered by Jimmy Kimmel...). J

Definitely agree - plus they are a 1 owner market: Saga owns ABC and Fox on Full power, plus NBC, CBS, Univision and Telemundo on Low-powered digital stations. In a market like that, there's a different level of reporting - definitely more to the community level. J

Does KJUD/8 even have any local news content? I thought that KJUD/8 and KATN/2 were essentially news satellites of KIMO/KYUR/13. J

Some of these could cause an epileptic seizure... But still great history of the Delaware Valley's News Leader. J

Is that the same David Scott who anchored at KXAN 25 years ago, then bolted for Houston with KHTV's failed early 90s 7pm & 11pm newscasts?

KNAZ was also using the NBC: TPTB themes way past the end of the network run - especially in late night hours at least into 1994 - though not for the newscasts themselves

I guess the station was so poor, they couldn't afford W's for their title graphic... I'm surprised they even showed the anchor smoking into the 70s... J

I'm guessing that CSN Washington will start formally sourcing WRC's sportscasts... (I haven't watch 4 in a while, so I don't know if thy're doing something already - guess I'll set the DVR tonight...) Jim

I think it's Beartooth NBC - thought I'd be interested to see what a "Bluetooth NBC" looks like... J

I made my first visit to Las Vegas in 1994 (change from a NASA engineer to an IT engineer) and attended NetWorld+InterOp in May 1994. KLAS was using PYCCO8 at that point for Eyewitness News and still had Real News on their "local update" on CNN Headline News. I enjoyed the closes - most were a full minute or longer with nice clean cuts of the music (I have them on 8mm tape, somewhere...) J

Just happened across this on YouTube : J

OMG - I just cracked up at that open... Either someone created good "fake" open, or Someone at BTQ-7 had a political agenda... Don't think you'd see something like that in the states. J

I was just in NY for the weekend and caught the "generic" News 4New York open (not even mentioning the time of day or that it's on NY Non-stop. I wonder if it's an Olympic thing or permanent? J
