    Quite the discovery last night in the basement here. I am getting these digitized today and will get some compilations uploaded to YT. A couple notes…the WKMG early 80s image campaigns and what is aka “Tuesday11” is called “Heart of…” and “Action News” is actually called “Look to Us” These reels are the master reels. I had previously found the station dubs that were in fairly poor condition. These reels are in pristine quality.

    That was a coding error in Ross OD. I made stingers (like you saw play out) and I made “open stingers” that sting out after the open seamlessly…the coding was swapped and that’s what occurred. Thank you. This has been a dream project. I was literally given the keys to drive the whole thing without any interference from other management…just “how can we help.” and hat tip to Matt Quinn, Tristan and team for letting me version it out. They all deserve a big hat tip as well. They give us the tools to build masterpieces.

    The reason I went with this cut is it was the cut we used in the 00s for First Alert weather. It has an urgency that I like. I tried other cuts from the updates when putting this together and preferred the cut from Disk 3.

    What’s clunky about it? Agreed. It proves my point that any music can work as long as the voiceover and cadence of the open match.

    We aren’t switching to Stephen Arnold.

    It’s a company wide initiative to improve our local imaging and branding. Not to be rude but you might as well wait because soon you’ll be able to put every Gray station on your list that doesn’t have a network logo included in their branding.

    Amazing logo!! Job well done GDG.

    Had a blast putting this together. There’s a hidden message or two in here…

    I designed this open. We needed something fresh pretty badly so I whipped this up using some aesthetics from GrayOne. Without giving away the details, I can tell you a 3 phase relaunch is in motion. Phase I begins October 31st as we begin our 75th year, Phase II will begin in early January with some more really big changes. Then phase III happens middle of next year. And yes, part of this rebrand is launching GrayONE. So, stay tuned for some really exciting changes!

    So I made another discovery tonight. Hello News II.
  14. cxd7346
    Yes.

    EGAD! I found this folder in an about-to-be tossed bankers box at the station.

    According to a latest post…he is. He’s going to be part of a new program called “Goin’ Places” that will air on WMOR-TV in July. Here’s the promo he shared on his Facebook page. Ricc Rollins whose hosting the program comes from WTVT. https://youtu.be/SDFF-vXvEMY

    Is Charles Billi coming back to Tampa TV?

    Still like to know who wrote that package....I have my suspicions...

    I know this has been brought up before, but check out this newscast from WQAD in 1990. This is the era when they used the WCCO '85 Theme, This clip obviously includes bumpers to this package, that I am hearing for the first time. Was curious if this sounds familiar to anyone. I know this package was used by several stations and I have been really wanting to figure out who created it, its a great package. Below are other clips of this package. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdLh15dGZxs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNg2iHb8-ak https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=0iLP7YebhSM;t=216 (The last clip from WMBD is a long shot, but you can hear very briefly at the end of that promo is the same as the end off the KSNW promo, point being is this package was widely used)
