It seems to me that Perry Sook is a rather slow or old fashioned kind of guy. Remember, up until the assimilation of Media General, they were against online streaming of local newscasts and subchannels on their stations. This whole having NewsNation as a cable channel you can only stream through your cable subscription instead of an OTT network you can watch for free on a service like Pluto TV is another example.

KMBC in its later days as a Metromedia station: KTIV from July 19, 1989: And WITI from 1988: Some WLYH clips from its waning years, by this point, they were only airing a 6pm newscast (the 11pm one was replaced in 1992 with syndicated programming):

KMBC in its later days as a Metromedia station: KTIV from July 19, 1989: And WITI from 1988:

Here's future American Gladiators host Lisa Malosky at KDLH in 1986: There's a lot more rare stuff in this channel (mainly commercials and promos), so keep your eyes on it!

And heres the first broadcast itself!

At about 6 min in is a full 10pm KXII newscast from August 25, 1993. Looks to be very recent into using KPNX's 12 logo, as the previous logo can be see on the set: https://archive.org/details/12_News_Late_Edition_CBS_WOC_1993-08-25 The same user also uploaded a full KTEN newscast from January 22, 1995, when they were an ABC/NBC/Fox station: https://archive.org/details/Newscenter_10_KTEN_NBC_WOC_1995-01-22

KRON had the big boy Hambrick as anchor in 1977: KRDO in 1995, is this a Gari theme? And ewjxn now has footage from Green Bay:

WTAP with what could be the last usage anywhere of News Image/News Image Plus:

Who wants classic Binghamton news?

I talked with Scott and he said these Retrospectives are in commeration of NewsActive3 hitting 2000 uploads. He's got two more retrospective vids to come before resuming newscast uploads. A full WHDH newscast from 1990 with the John Tesh theme:

I'll let this clip speak for itself. Your welcome @Info Junkie!

Some Hampton Roads news clips from September 1995 (as well as January 1997), worth noting is that it features the last days of TV 3 News and the first of NewsChannel 3 over at WTKR:

SchfiftythreeRetroTV does it again with this WHO open from 1986, based off of their short lived "It's WHO We Are" logo and campaign from Peters: By the fall of that year, they went back to the previous logo (only for it to be replaced the following year) and switched to News Image:

You've seen this KAMR open before, but have you seen it with John Wells VO?

Some Billings news from 1985, starting with a rare open of KULR's Straight 8 NewsService, seems like many small town ABC affiliates used Cascom Select Effects in the 80s:

Some WTMJ imaging from the last weeks of NewsChannel 4, the following month, Today's TMJ 4 would be born: KSAT 12 News tonight before they introduced the famous tabloid open for that newscast: An almost complete edition of CBS This Morning from December 23, 1996, taped off WJMN with WFRV newsbreaks:

A WRGB open we haven't seen yet, using the second version of the Freedom theme:

Surprised they haven't done it for their other stations, as Nexstar did get Antenna TV with the Tribune purchase.

That was the last weeknight newscast before moving to their current studios on East Britton (the color problems on the studio cameras are likely a by-product of the move).

WBOC using All We Are We Are For You: WGBH's old 10pm newscast from December 11, 1990, during this period it used TVbD graphics:

Huh. In between Scott Chapin and Nick Michaels, WBBM had Vic Caroli do the opens:

The last few minutes of a weekend WBKO newscast from December 1986, watch to the end for a close using a good cut of the WEVU/KWWL 80s theme:

Here's a real rarity from ewjxn, the first 5 minutes of KCBD's Eyewitness 11ews (misspelling intended) from June 4, 1979. The station ID also mentions their then satellite station KSWS-TV 8 in Roswell (now KOB satellite KOBR), which aired their own newscast in place of KCBD's called the New Mexico Report.

An unusal new WISH open, NewsCenter II and On The Scene News together! And the VO is Chuck "Wrath of the Buzzard" Riley!

No open here, but still glad its here, a KOLR newscast from December 23, 1977.
