After many years of searching and waiting, finally a mid-80's KHJ 9 O'Clock News open. Pretty slick and somewhat similar to WOR-TV's from the time. This one's from April, 1984 as evidenced by the top story. Shortly before I came along.

Sorry, I posted that a few days ago, it was my most liked post on here, because clips of KHJ-TV with the arrow-9 logo are hard to find.

The channel with the WTOK clips had this and they can't identify where it came from. No other Meridian station would have had a newscast at this time?

 

That was most likely WTZH Channel 24 (now WMDN).

The open to KHJ-TV's 9 O'Clock News from April 25, 1984:

Here's a KSDK update from before they moved into their current studios:

And a KOMU update from just 2 days later. This sounds like an identifiable theme, or maybe not:

I personally decided to save this until the 5000th post, because it's a big one! Clips of KXLY-TV newscasts (including promos and intros) with the late Cole Bunzel, from 1977-1978, including the opening to the newscast after his death. Lots of rare stuff here!

Happy 5000!

For the user who wanted it, some weather forcasts and ids from KCBJ (now KMIZ) from 1982, when they were an NBC affiliate. You'll all be in shock and awe at how extremely low budget they were were back then, it doesn't get cheaper than this!

What was KATV thinking with this set? From 1982. (Found another clip of this that...wasn't exactly as new as it seemed.)

 

Most likely it was a temporary setting while a new set was under construction.

A WETM special from June 23, 1992, on the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Agnes hitting the Twin Tiers area:

No - but WAGA was dropping CBS programming left and right around that time... CBS This Morning aired on WTLK/14 (out of Rome, GA) - TV Guide in Atlanta had the show on 12/13/14!

And from what I read, Price is Right and soaps were airing on WVEU 69 during the transition, which CBS almost bought before Channel 46 caved in and took on CBS, maybe with the identity crisises that 46 has had, maybe CBS now regrets not hooking up with 69?

One of today's tapes is from my Gulf Coast trip to the Florida Panhandle in July 1995.

WEAR 5pm; WMBB 5pm; WTVY 6pm; WDHN 10pm; WHOA (Promo); WEAR 6pm; WJHG 5pm; WPMI 6am; WALA 10pm; KLFY 12pm ("Meet Your Neighbor"); WLOX 4pm; WLOX 5pm; WKRG 6pm; KATC 5:30pm; WMBB 11am; WTVY 5pm; WJHG 6pm; WPGX 9pm (Audio Only); WSFA 10pm; WALA 10pm (again...)

 

Notes: WHOA is just a promo for their 5pm anchor, but I don't recognize the music; WPGX is audio only - due to Summer Gulf Tropo, WFTS in Tampa in was splattering all over the signal (plus probably WTGS/Savannah was in the mix) - at least I caught the audio and some of the station ID slide...; I'm guessing WPMI was "starting out" their news operation by this time, as they became the NBC affiliate on Jan. 1, 1996 - WALA's owners were already linked to Fox by this time (and WLUK was switching in about a month from this point). Cable in Destin at the time had WEAR, WTVY, WJHG, WMBB, and WPMI (these were the only news-producing local stations).

WPGX's newscast was a 5 minute update just before the typical hour long checker-board styled syndicated shows that most smaller Fox affiliates aired after prime-time. WPMI's First Edition was the only newscast-type program aired on the station (other than the 2 minutes updates during prime-time hours) until they became NBC 15 in 96.

A clip from a North Carolina cable channel called NorthLand Cable News:

Some clips of the six o'clock newscasts from Atlanta's big 4 stations on October 6, 1997:

One thing immediately leapt to mind - WRBL's look is downright unimpressive compared to

(which seems to have preceded it).

I don't think WRBL ever used Avant News, it just seems too fancy and expensive for a small market.

We've seen his last 10pm newscast, now TCMediaNow has uploaded Dave Moore's last 6pm newscast at WCCO from December 6, 1991:'

A corporate presentation for WNDU-AM-FM-TV and the U of ND's Golden Dome Productions unit from 1989:

Here's another old YT video that I'm pretty sure nobody has posted on to this thread yet, clips of WABI's Telejournal News from 1981:

I found another big one! An 11pm newscast from the then-new WSYX from November 12, 1987 (less than 2 months after the call letter change)

Plus a bonus, the behind the scenes doings of a 6pm newscast from June 1988:

Here's an unusual sign-off from KTSM-TV back in 1985:

A user on ebay from El Paso was selling some lots of blank VHS tapes a few weeks ago, I wonder if this is from one of them?

Two new clips of ATV in Hong Kong using the Dick Marx WBBM theme in the 1980s:

Wow. Just wow.

The KDBC stuff is definitely new. We had nothing between 1980 (Home Country) and 1990.

 

The 1990 open is not in the NMSA and there's a reason why we have it in the first place — it's out of pitch and on a blooper reel!

I found a station ID from that period in 3D CGI demo reel, but I can't remember exactly what it was.

 

There are no words sufficient to describe the tracking on that second WMBD clip...

 

Except, perhaps, "time for a hearing aid".

I should have mentioned that. There are a number of videos with wonky sound and tracking. Still, it's a great channel none the less, am I right?

ewjxn’s got more goodies up his sleeve — from El Paso?!

That's a part of The News Image I haven't heard yet.

Here's some more whoppers from Daniel Cole:

A WMBD promo from the fall of 1996, just after they became CBS 31:

A tease from WEEK leads into the start of NBC's coverage of the 1984 DNC:

A rare CNN Headline News promo from WBLN:

The opening of WMBD's weekend news from 1993:

In addition to some rare behind the scenes footage, this video has some commercials for WPTZ's 25th anniversary, with some old photos:

Me: Hey TEGNA, wanna get rid of your weather diginets that some of your stations still have?

TEGNA: Yes.

Me: Okay then, even though I like my weather diginets. What will you call this new one?

TEGNA: Quest.

Say goodbye to WHAS 11.3, WFAA 8.2, KPNX 12.2, WZZM 13.2 and others as we know it.

The concept of this network sounds like it'll air the stuff Litton does, but almost none of it is from them (except for maybe one mandatory show on the weekend). Think the old days of the Discovery Channel and others.

Wow, yeah that image campaign song is about as obscure as obscure gets. I don't recall it being on any of the Non-stop vocal campaign demos back in the day of days, but it's clear that it was the basis for the First News package update as you said. They must not have had much faith in that one selling well enough to put much effort into making sure it was in the demo material.

I believe this may have been the national CTV campaign, it was also used on MCTV & CKY:

WOKR, circa 2001:

 

That was from January of 2001, the waning days of Advantage, Balls & Walls, and the 1980's news set.
