This is the new look of a local TV station's 8:00PM newscast in the city of Córdoba, Argentina, that premiered on Monday, March 20th, 2017. LV81 Canal 12 is affiliated with Canal 13 (Buenos Aires).

The thing that I like the most: the music!

The morning and noon themes are great as well, all composed by Eddie Sierra.

Here's a very funny moment of Rich Fisher while working at WXYZ. He steals the cookies that Bill Bonds was promoting on the air.

The station resumed its telecast at noon with a news summary and The Pink Panther Show.

In April of 1994, introduced the current logo, designed in the U.S. by C&G Partners.

Here's an article about when C&G was in charge again of modifying the logo in 2008:

I think that she did it great.

Canal 13 (Buenos Aires). Station ID and excerpt of the late night news in 1987, read by staff announcer Horacio Galloso.

News theme composed by Eddie Sierra, responsible for creating most of the news music packages for this channel and sister cable channel TN (Todo Noticias).

Canal 9 (Buenos Aires). 8PM news open from Thursday, December 1st, 1994. The open is an imitation of CNN Headline News.

Between 1993 and 1995, and between September 1996 until September 1997, they were using a modernized version of their iconic theme.

1995. Canal 9 Libertad (Buenos Aires) wrapping up the midday news. The hosts promised to be back at 8PM (something very unusual), because every newscast in the other channels was presented by different anchors.

And the studio is a little bit improved version of WCBS's set by that time.

It looks that Mr. Romay was spending his bucks on good things: the studio was huge and beautiful.

Portuguese TV channel TVI premiered a new logo and graphics for its newscasts today, at 8PM UTC/3PM EST.

Kristyn Hartman moves from Dispatch-owned WBNS in Columbus to Scripps owned WCPO in Cincinnati.

Will Kristyn replace Carol Williams?

América 2's promo for the 7PM news and graphics; plus, a station ID. From late December (probably the 25th), 2002.

Because I consider these graphics overwhelming (they're better than the current graphics), I've decided to post two more excerpts from América 2's 1998/2001 news identity.

This afternoon teaser highlights stories from their 7PM newscast on Tuesday, June 9, 1998, the day before the start of the Soccer World Cup.

A prime-time update from August of 1998.

And finally, the current open, which debuted on September 12, 2016.

I figured you'd offer some context. I knew Crónica basically was the spiritual successor to TeleDos (which folded within a week — one of the more bizarre collapses in television history). I'm just unable to comprehend the idea that this was a newscast with serious news and it was presented...like that.

 

Also, who is the voiceover on the headline summary? Someone's gotta know.

I think that they tried to do a news show rather than a serious newscast (very uncommon then). It's normal to see that the noon news is very relaxed, with few hard stories and the rest is devoted to health and consumer issues, and even to cooking segments. That's a little different now. About the voiceover, his name is Rafael Monzón (he's named by Pinky at the end of the second segment). I don't have more information about him.

A decade prior to that, in the shortest but most successful period of the station's history...

 

 

It's a lot of everything. The announcer! The music! The news presenter! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?

 

(The lead story: a postal strike!)

It was their particular style to give the news, in a sensational, tabloid way that people wanted (and still want) to watch.

In fact, the Sousa march and the tabloid format were inherited by the news channel Crónica TV, which signed on in 1994, and turned that music in their anthem, like WPVI did with "Move Closer to Your World". The lead story was the postal strike because, despite technological improvements, only a few people in the Buenos Aires metro area had telephone service at that time. By the end of the 1990s, the service reached more than a half of the population. And the presenter, Lidia Satragno (nicknamed Pinky) was a very popular personality on TV, and she was able to connect with viewers, despite not being a reporter.

América TV (VHF channel 2 in Buenos Aires) news open from December 31st, 1998. Very advanced graphics by the time (similar to Novocom) and I think that could have been made abroad, and not in Argentina.

This was when the channel aired two hours of evening news: one at 7 until 8, and another from 9 to 10, as a lead-in for prime-time programming.

This 90-second update served as the late night news for a year.

And here's a news promo, from 1999.

Imagine watching cartoons... inside a newscast! That happened on the ATC (Argentina's former public television) morning news. It was intended that children who went to elementary schools had to wake up at 7, because classes start at 8.

This practice was phased off in 2006 when a more traditional news programme premiered.

Well, it has been 4 years since the current Hearst Graphics package and Strive debuted. I have been starting to wonder, or if anyone knows this, is there a new graphics package on the way? They keep updating it, and I feel it wouldn't hurt to just debut a whole new one with the diagrid design, of course. As for music, they could keep Strive or they could do a Strive v2 to move away from the current package because it is continuously updated and has 29 discs! What do you guys think?

I agree with you. Those graphics need to be changed. And I was thinking about that Image News could be used again, but with the 2010 updates. That's not bad.

1984 news open from Canal 11 in Buenos Aires, with a compilation of national and international events. It was very simple because the channels were state-funded and didn't have many technological resources.

LS85TV Canal 13 (Buenos Aires). Late news from July 25, 2000. The top story that night was the Concord plane crash in France.

This channel was the only station airing news at midnight. The other four weren't interested on having a final edition. The news set is virtual.

América TV (VHF channel 2 in Buenos Aires) news segments from 2004 and 2005.

The graphics are similar to those used by Global National at the same time.

América TV (VHF channel 2 in Buenos Aires) late news' last segment and close. (January 15, 2008)

That happens when you have a 30 minute newscast and the last 10 or 15 minutes are filled with commercial breaks. That's very normal on TV, unfortunately.

The graphics, set and the music were used for a relatively short time (from August of 2007 until March of 2009) and were the best, despite the newscast is very tabloid.

Telefe's news updates with brief stories, and teasers of what was coming up at 7:00pm that night. (April 18, 1996)

These updates aired every hour, beginning at 2pm until 6pm, and resuming later at 9pm until 11pm.

By that time, the channel signed on at 11:00am and closed down at midnight, and there where American shows in its prime-time lineup, such as E.R., The X Files or The Simpsons, for example.

The ident seen after the last video was when the CGI was in its early stages in the country, but thankfully, they

improved a lot.

And that's the way Canal 13 in Buenos Aires closed the 8:00PM news in 1996. Very easy: one of the anchors reads the next day's forecast and both say goodbye. Then, meteorology was a minor, but an important thing, and the few forecasters that appeared on TV were from the National Meteorological Service (SMN) in particular occasions. And also, it's interesting to say that the anchors you're seeing here were a couple (by the time wasn't very common). Mónica and César were the faces of Telenoche for 13 continous years. I always considered them as the "Chet and Nat" of Buenos Aires. The difference: both are alive, together since 1978 and married since 2003.

I almost forget the news theme: it was originally created in 1992 by singer and composer Eddie Sierra and updated many times until being taken off the air in 2015 when the program was completely revamped. A great loss.

Some old news opens from Uruguay:

Telenoche - Canal 4 Montevideo (1994)

Telenoche - Canal 4 Montevideo (1999)

Telenoche - Canal 4 Montevideo (2000)

Telenoche - Canal 4 Montevideo (2005)

Subrayado - Canal 10 Montevideo (2012)

Telemundo - Canal 12 Montevideo (1995)

Telemundo - Canal 12 Montevideo (1996)

New graphics for the international service of the RTP, the Portuguese public broadcaster, which premiered this afternoon (15:00 EDT, 20:00 UTC).

They adapted the logo and clock to the versions only seen in that country, but the news opens remained the same. To be sincere, I don't like this kind of "flat design" being used everywhere. I prefer more elaborated graphics.
