A vintage WRGB report from 1989, featuring Liz Bishop. And here’s WTEN’s John McLaughlin reporting on a hostage situation in Schenectady.

Try telling that to WTOV in Steubenville, who continued using it until late 1987!

Man, I miss these graphics so much. Thanks for finding this!

Can’t say I’ve ever heard of this Steve Stone guy before. Does he do work for any other stations?

Damn Aussies are always copying us

The link seems to have been deleted.

Why didn’t anyone tell me that David Horowitz died?!!??

This clip doesn’t really have any news in it, but it’s a rare example of WNYT’s early 90’s graphics package.

My mistake. Still, it’s pretty odd to see it being used by a local station. Here it is in action, by the way: https://youtu.be/ngDDajdApP4

Here’s a rip off of the early 2000s CBS Evening News graphics package

A video that used to be on ClipSyndicate until sometime last year. It’s about WNYT’s 50th anniversary. I thought I would post it here given the occasion of the set being replaced. And here’s another one, featuring Bill Lambdin as the reporter. He retired in August 2014.

[MEDIA=vimeo]203391402[/MEDIA] This isn’t really news, but I wanted to share it anyway with all the recent talk about the new graphics. It was used to promote FOX’s upcoming NASCAR debut in early 2001.

Some of those “first-generation” opens were on TVARK until it went dark for an update last year. I doubt they’ll still be there once it comes back.

KTHI (now KVLY) in Fargo, ND used to have these graphics that look suspiciously like those of NBC News’ graphics of the early 90s.

What blog did you find that information on?

I saw those clips after I discovered the first one. Elsewhere on Vimeo, someone uploaded a couple of specials that WRGB did about severe weather. I'd link them here, but unfortunately, I'm on my Kindle right now so it's kind of hard for me to do that.

A short WNYT promo from some time in the late 90s-early 2000s that makes fun of WRGB’s Doppler Radar. [MEDIA=vimeo]6899305[/MEDIA] While I’m on the subject of classic TV, have any of you guys ever been to the website of the Wolfson Archive? It has a treasure trove of South Florida TV clips (most of which seem to be from the master copies!) that are really worth checking out. Just search for the call letters of a certain South Florida station and you’re good to go. http://www.wolfsonarchives.info/search-the-catalog/

My first post! Just wanted to bring this up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_l5C5QL3wl4 I don't know if it counts as a knockoff or not. But it might be, because these are the only two stations I've seen with this look. If there are more, I'd like to know.
