KOCO in 1987 -- so THAT's where Ron Gardner went (KARK had a report about his alleged "disappearance") There's also a little KWTV in that too:

Got another rip off for ya: Rip off of:

KSAZ promos from January 8, 1995, promoting new Fox shows. Meanwhile, 5 digits up the dial, KNXV, the former Fox Affiliate, would officially join ABC the following day.

Yeah, Burns was a client for Pulitzer (KOAT's owner). His work popped up on KOAT's sister stations as well, mainly WYFF, KCCI, WDSU, and WGAL. (WESH doesn't count cause they were still H&C owned when they debuted Jcbd's graphics in 1992). By the way, speaking of WYFF, I'm now on the hunt for finding footage from that station from the 1990s. So far, all we have is the 1990 news update, a 1991-92 promo and update which can both be found on Facebook, some 1993-94 promos on YouTube, a short open from 1994 on NewsActive3's compilations, and a partial newscast which incorrectly stated that the station was WSPA in the video title.

So recently we found KPNX's 1992-93 "Your choice for Real Life, Real News in the 90s" open, which resembled that of WCCO's open from that same time frame in some ways. I wonder if Wow & Flutter were also the composers of KPNX's 1992 theme besides their Everyday Music Package?

Never thought that KPNX Open resembled WCCO's... I even wonder if Wow & Flutter were the composers for that 1992 Theme... Now I just want to see an open from their "Real News" era (1989-90). From what I've seen, I think it would look VERY similar to what sister station WXIA's open looked like (which actually debuted in 1986).

I just commented on one of ewjxn's KPNX 1992 videos and he says he's working on a June 1991 newscast to be uploaded.

KTVI weekend in 1980 using On Top Of It All-- and a young Bryan Busby doing the weather.

Even though ewjxn has been uploading mostly late '80s-early '90s Phoenix material, the next thing I would love to see is some KPNX news from 1979 when they changed their call letters. I've always had this theory that the Gannett "Death Star" ID started earlier than 1981: According to the top story, this aired on January 20, 1981, leading me to believe the Gannett station IDs started way earlier. I'd also like to see some KTVK from their "Count On Us" era (1978-1980).

WAVE 3 in 1989 -- a tail end of their first Tvbd set of opens appears at 5:57. I wonder if the full open can be found anywhere. (However it would probably resemble the same kind of opens that were used by WFTV, WTHR, WFSB, etc.)

The Phoenix stuff keeps on coming!

Some KPNX from 1992/93 -- sadly no open, but it's a treat worth looking at. Also KARK using News 88

Never seen this WOOD-TV open before...

For some reason there was a vintage KPHO open from early 1986 that got posted by the same user, but it got taken down. Also I hope that channel uploads some KPNX from 1992-93, that's another Phoenix rarity right there.

Is that the WMGM News Package by Gari Media Group? It sounds very much like "The One For All" but with that classic Gari-esque early '90s synthesizer.

A WHO-TV promo from 1985. I wonder where you can find the open on the NMSA where they're using the KSL 1981 Theme?

Wendall Anschutz's Final newscast

At last, a full shot of KJRH using the Scripps-mandated set.

This channel has posted some Tulsa news footage, some of which are extremely rare. This video reveals more of KJRH's Scripps-mandated set. This one has a KTUL newscast with Judd Hambrick (!!) And this reveals KJRH's open using WWL News.

And a ++1 for another vintage Albany newscast! Seems like WNYT is the one that doesn't have barely anything from their archive though...

WNYT getting ready to launch a 4:00 newscast. It will be anchored by veteran Benita Zahn and Jerry Gretzinger, who used to work at WRGB CBS 6. It will go on the air September 11th.

Some Denver TV news reports on People Express Airlines announcing service to the area.

Speaking of that, I'm really shocked that there isn't anything really from the "Take a Look" era of WTSP (1979-83). The only known footage of 10 from that era is this 8-second clip from early 1983 about Jon Crane's arrival: If you listen closely you can hear Take a Look in the background.

This does help... in fact, KARK in Little Rock had that same set, albeit having a "4" carved on the main news desk.

WXIA News Capsule from April 16, 1987, earliest use of them having "The Great News Package."
