Looks like KJRH will actually have a little bit different version of the new graphic along with a white logo as well they have been using this on certain promos.

Are these exclusive to the morning news or are they gonna be rolled out to all newscasts?

If you think the old Ed Dague clips were tearjerkers, WRGB has a retrospective of when he anchored there before his days at 13. Includes a tail end of the “And You” NewsCenter 6 open!

In memory of Ed Dague, the man who shaped Albany TV news. Say hi to Ed Hopkins for us.

Albany, NY just lost a broadcast news legend today. Ed Dague, longtime WNYT and WRGB anchor, has passed away at the age of 76.

For my 400th video upload, I present a fully updated and restored montage of TEGNA’s crown jewel WXIA-TV:

Theyre still using Limerick at 11

Some KTUL and KOKI from ‘04:

KOKI using early 2000s TVBD to its fullest.

Word on the street is Grays Graphic hub did not do these graphics. They were done in-house at WAVE 3. Great look if you ask me. Good evolution of the Limerick package of late. 

Betcha this would’ve been second gen Limerick if Raycom never got gobbled up.

Someone was on YouTube commenting that KXXV is "next".  Not sure if he's speaking "insider baseball" or just opining, though.  We'll find out soon if it's KXXV or some other station that gets it next.

I know that guy. He’s a spammer who does that “Next” thing on my videos. I wouldn’t listen to him.

Is this the new graphics?

WAAAAAAYYYYYY too flat. Not Tegna flat but still.

November 1997, KSDK promotes its new look and set, graphics by Hothaus:

WITI! 1983!

KJCT in 1983

I recently came across a rare newscast from KXII-TV 12 featuring anchorman John Hurt, dated 1980.

Here is another rare news clip from Texas. This time, we take you to KGBT-TV for a news open from 1983-84.

And here is a weekend news open from KGBT from 1984.

And another KGBT open from the early 1980s using the WAVY news theme from Tuesday.

And...a news open using the NBC TV-Radio Telepulse theme.

 

Wow lots of Texas TV legends here. Ron Oliveira, Gloria Campos, Jeff Eliasoph....

Also how is that the WAVY News Theme? It sounds Tuesday but I don’t think I’ve heard that cut before.

Speaking of STL:

WTTG news with... Paul Udell?!!

!!! Some WTVK from its TVBD era!!!

Worst open? Dude, seriously? MG gave WRIC a fresh new look (FX set, graphics, logo, everything) in 2016 before the Nexstar takeover. Paul Turner became the station's new VO earlier this year. It needed that look.

I’m starting to think this thread is getting WAAAYYYY out of hand for that guy. I’m no moderator, but I personally feel this is spam.

Looks like WDAF found my compilation!

Getting some Vance-y vibes from KJRH’s late 90s graphics:

WLS recounts its improvements to bring them to #1 in 1984.

Feel like I’ve heard this theme before:

It’s raining Tulsa:

KTUL still using John B. Wells by 1989

KJRH kept using the same theme even during the morning hours (Russell Kinsaul worked there?!)

One of the earliest “6 in the Mornings” on YT

And Doc Morgan is a BIT TOO cheerful here.
