Some promos and IDs from CTC7 (Canberra, ACT) in 1978:

TVI, Portugal, 2005: the lower thirds and graphic elements are great, but not the open!

WCVB also used that campaign "The One to Turn To" with the same animation for the logo! I remember seeing it on a demo reel, but I can't find it on YouTube. Anyone knows who composed that jingle?

An ident from ESPN (South American feed) in April 2000. At the very end includes a small excerpt of a bumper from MTV. Continuing with ESPN, some promos from May 2001, including one from SportsCenter, which was launched a couple of months before, on November 15, 2000. All of the sportscasters there are still working at ESPN! Let's go back on time to November 1996! Canal 13 offers a pretty interesting primetime lineup on November 11: a documentary about otters, followed by the television premiere of the movie "Sleepless in Seattle". Unfortunately the station removed primetime documentaries and movie offerings many years ago to make way for Marcelo Tinelli's Showmatch. And finally, a nicely done stop-motion ID from Telefe, used during the spring season in 1996:

Some tragic news from Brazil: veteran journalist Ricardo Boechat dies in a chopper crash in São Paulo. He was 66 years old, and for the last 12, he anchored Rede Bandeirantes' flagship evening newscast. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-47196268 Here's a farewell video from his colleagues at Bandeirantes:

A promo of Canal 13 airing a repeat of "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" weekdays at 4pm in May 2000. Kenny Rogers was the guest star in that episode. The video also contains the station ID.

Opening minutes of ABC's World at Noon from March 1996, anchored by Cathy Bell:

Opener and closing segment of Telenoche from June 9, 1998, anchored by Mónica and César from Paris, with the Eiffel Tower and the Seine River behind them. Includes the national weather forecast and a portion of the theme music.

A local news update from Canal 5 (Rosario) in 2000, presented by Erica Fontana. She moved to Buenos Aires in 2006 and became one of Telefe's main anchors. The station aired two-minute updates during the afternoon and had an early evening newscast (7pm weeknights), opposing to Telefe, that removed the broadcast from its schedule in 1999.

A promo of Radio 10 (AM 710) from 1999. I hope you don't get scared by the lip-sync!

An excerpt of Seven's coverage of the 1994 AFL Grand Final between the West Coast Eagles and Geelong. Includes a short appearance of Home Improvement's Richard Karn, doing a minor repair. Seven aired the program for many years in Australia, and aired one episode that night (October 1st, 1994) at 6:30pm, right after the news.

ITV celebrating 50 years of broadcasting in 2005, paying tribute to one of its legendary shows: World of Sport, which was presented for many years by a guy sporting a moustache called Dickie Davis (Des Lynam's competition!)

CBS Sunday Night News with Bill Plante from June 26, 1988. Anyone knows why CBS only aired a 15-minute late night newscast on Sundays and not on Saturdays?

The intro of NBC's 1997 World Series broadcast with Bob Costas, Hannah Storm and Keith Olbermann: Anyone knows the name of the theme used at 2:00?

And here it is! SIC's new set and graphics that premiered on its evening newscasts tonight: includes a new music theme. (UPDATE) The closer of the evening newscast and a teaser of SIC Noticias' main newscast, which also debuted a new set tonight.

The presentation of SIC's new facilities, with João Moleira at the old studios in Carnaxide to anchor the station's lunchtime broadcast and Bento Rodrigues at the new home in Paço de Arcos. Unfortunately the new set wasn't shown yet: I assume it's going to be unveiled tonight on the evening newscast. It's interesting to see that the station still has a copy of the document that allowed it to go to air in 1992.

Intro and full broadcast of "30 Millones", ATC's nightly news program in 1984 that was relayed to dozens of stations across the country, anchored by the late Roberto Maidana. Includes appearances from newscasters Mónica Gutiérrez (now with América 2) and Silvia Martínez (now with Canal 13/Todo Noticias). The program aired every weeknight from 9 to 10pm. The presentation at the beginning reminded me of those from Antenne 2 in France during the late 1970s and early 1980s, where the camera moves around the studio while the announcer reads the headlines.

A small preview of how SIC's newscasts will look like beginning tomorrow (January 27), as the Portuguese station moves to a new facility in Paço de Arcos (Lisbon) after being 26 years in Carnaxide. There's also a retrospective of the "old" studios, from the very beginning!

The opener and full theme of the BBC's coverage of the 1996 Summer Olympics:

One of the most bizarre moments on British TV: Des Lynam hosts Grandstand while two guys fight behind him in the control room!

A short commercial block and a station ID from Imparja Television, a small regional network serving remote areas of Australia. This junction is from the late 1980s, when Imparja cherry-picked programs from Seven, Nine and Ten, before becoming an exclusive Nine affiliate in 2008.

BBC's intro of its coverage of the 1998 Winter Olympics, presented by Sue Barker. The intro used for the 2000 Summer Olympics is 10 times better!

A special report of Canal 7's 60th anniversary in 2011, narrating the beginnings of the pioneer Argentine TV station.

Intro and sponsors of CBC's Winter Olympic coverage in 1998:

A full broadcast of BBC Two's Newsnight with Jeremy Paxman and a roundtable discussion on local elections across the UK (May 7, 1998)
