Some openers and excerpts of the bizarre talk show Hablemos Claro, that aired on Canal 9 for many years, hosted by journalist Lía Salgado. The first one is from 1997 and the second is from 1998.

I'm sure that this ABC Sports theme was composed by Edd Kalehoff, but I can't find it on his library: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h=2;id=7-gQ1S5Mmq0;m=30;s=34 (starts at 2:30:34, and it's very beautiful!)

ABC and one of its classic Saturday afternoon bowling broadcasts (from 1990) with Chris Schenkel hosting from Las Vegas. The Edd Kalehoff theme and the 3D intro are awesome!

(NON-NEWS) I've been checking the Edd Kalehoff library site these days, and there are some sport themes that share the same signature. It reminds me of Fox's iconic NFL theme. Do you know if it was used by any network/station in particular? https://kalehoff.sourceaudio.com/#!details?id=13429859 https://kalehoff.sourceaudio.com/#!details?id=13429870 https://kalehoff.sourceaudio.com/#!details?id=13597188

An afternoon news update and some non-news promos of Canal 9 that aired on Wednesday, June 10, 1998. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=3tPwbbdgsgw;m=10;s=46 The news update's theme sounds like production music. Could be that possible?

Telefe starting its broadcast day on Wednesday, September 24, 1997, at 10:55am with a little bit of music from Argentinian rock band Man Ray, as a very polite announcer reads the tracks of the CD, the station's call letters and the date. After that, an ID and 1 second from the intro of MacGyver.

TV commercial from AM radio station América 1190, that aired in 1995. The station promoted itself as "Argentina's only all-news radio station".

A TV commercial from Argentinian FM radio station Aspen 102.3, that aired in 1998, voiced by Chilean announcer Fernando Solís. The station was very proud of offering "digital sound" to its listeners, 4 years before most of its rivals.

I can't believe that the #1 station in one of the country's largest markets had a horrible news set! It was 1997, not 1978!

IIRC, NBC never fed its weekend newscasts at 6ET/5CT. Only CBS and ABC have done it.

I checked old listings from the early 1990s and ABC fed the weekend news (both Saturday and Sunday) earlier than on weeknights. I don't know why. Only a few stations carried it at 6 ET/5 CT back then.

From the same time (1995/1996), two promos of the newscast, shot on film:

"El show de Videomatch" ends almost at midnight on a rarely warm night in June of 1998, as Canal 5 Rosario takes a small break from Telefe programming and shows us pictures from the third biggest city in Argentina (with music of local legend Fito Páez), and suddenly rejoins Telefe for a little bit of soccer action and "El equipo del mundial" from France.

A long closer for Canal 9's noon news from January 1996, anchored by Cristina Pérez (before moving to Telefe) and Guillermo Andino (before joining América 2). The guy who composed the theme (Luis Reales) was listed in the credits!

Here's a promo announcing the return of the early evening newscast in 2002: And the opener of the first night:

Yes, between April 1999 and August 2002, Telefe had only one daily newscast, and updates during daytime and primetime programming. The 7pm newscast (which used to be #1 on its timeslot, and sometimes was one of the 10 most-watched programs of the day) was canceled because of "political reasons".

A promo showing the worst times for Telefe's news division, back in 1999. With many familiar faces sacked on New Year's Eve 1998 and with only one newscast throughout the day (weekdays at noon), they relied on crime and tabloid features to recover credibility, but it failed.

In 1996, Telefe purchased the rights to air Beavis and Butthead late at night (weeknights at 12am), but I don't know why they decided to air small segments dubbed by local voice actors making fun of the Argentinian TV programming. Take a look!

From 1992: a bit of an episode of The Simpsons, Canal 5 Rosario's ID and a Friday night movie opener from Telefe in Buenos Aires (Canal 5 is now one of its owned and operated stations), with a remix of K-Jee (MFSB) as the background theme. The movie was "The Trial of the Incredible Hulk", that aired on NBC in 1989.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Todo Noticias (TN), Argentina's leading news channel, I'm posting a montage of openers, promos, IDs and news updates that aired on Friday, August 5, 1994.

Telefe's station ID and evening news rejoin, from November 1997.

Old radio commercials from Argentina: Radio 10 (AM710, 1999; before becoming Buenos Aires' leading AM station) Continental (AM590, 1997; still focused on news and talk)

Old KYW 1060 commercial from 1984.
