Looks like Keloland started using First News before they changed to their current logo:

And now Byron Allen wants Tegna...... https://deadline.com/2020/03/byron-allen-bid-broadcaster-tegna-1202880413/

Yep, she left because of the Jerry Springer experiment, if you look closely during the close, you'll see a cutout of a newspaper article about her departure. BTW, those two newscasts came from this site, which has a lot more material related to Carol, including a pre-Chicago newscast at WSM-TV! https://mediaburn.org/video/ch-5-news-5197-5597/

I'm purposely reposting the WMAQ 1997 newscast, because it has the extremely rare Jerry Springer commentary on it!

The two half hour newscasts at 8 and 9 were still there, mostly likely they were still using the old KHJ graphics & logo and It's All Right Here up until Prime9 launched.

A lot of stations around the country now have .5 and .6 channels. I guess the bandwith has now improved in the past 10 years?

WJRT from 1987 and a theme that sounds a lot like Newschannel: WRGB introduces closed captioned news: KCAL looks back on its first year of Prime 9 News: KEZI from 1977!

Can't say that I've heard this WRAL campaign: A bit of WTIC's News at 10 from it's first months: A whole Sunday night CBS Evening News followed by a KFMB newscast from September 23, 1990: Some KPTM teasers and a news open from 1995:

Bits of Scranton from 1986: KTVU's 40th anniversary special: An early WRTV on WTTV newscast:

A bit of WITN from June 15, 1995:

You have to admit this looks pretty good for small town LPTV news in 1983:

LWN was well past its prime, a bygone network from the "health TV" craze of the late 2000s. I think being home to Pickler & Ben was the last time ABC breathed some kind of life into it.

From the same site, going even older with this newscast, the Jax World at Large: https://texasarchive.org/2014_00092

Now theres a WKYC open I haven't seen before: KAIT from 1996 with News Series 2001: KEZI from 1980 with The African Suite:

WCAX! From 1978!

An episode of ABC's Eye on Hollywood during it's original trial run as a summer prime-time show: KMTV from 1984 with some unknown theme during the bumpers:

A slice of World News Now from June 14, 1994:

More of TVbD in it's prime, as used on KSBW in 1988:

It will be replacing ionTV on WCTV 6.3. Which makes me wonder if adding ion to a number of its stations was just a placeholder until Circle could launch?

Looks like Amanda is keeping the channels lights on, at least for now. TF&GC just uploaded an episode of the Feud:

Ouch. https://deadline.com/2019/12/denise-dascenzo-obituary-wfsb-news-anchor-1202803986/

Here's KPTV from 1983 with the gray Cranston-Csuri graphics and "Eleven Gold" theme:

A very early broadcast of NBC Nightside (it had began 3 weeks earlier) from November 25, 1991:

Some new OKC stuff from Chris Sloan...... KWTV in the later days of Newsline 9: KFOR with their Vance/EGAD look: KOCO with the current logo but still under Gannett ownership:
