Yes, this is terrible news. Nancy was beloved in the New Orleans area. I remember her from her WAFB days, too...even met her at the SWAC basketball tournament back in the mid-1990s when the tournament was held at the Baton Rouge Centroplex. She was a very down-to-earth person...very nice.

 

My condolences to her husband Glynn Boyd, their kids and their extended family.

Absolutely shocked. Very sad to hear this. Sending my condolences to Glynn, Nancy's family, friends and colleagues.

From June 5, 1994, WWL and then-ABC station WVUE's 10 PM newscasts:

Just saw. Thanks for pointing that out. The Marion Stokes link still works, though.

Following up on a 1988 ABC 20/20 report on alleged visions of the Virgin Mary in the Yugoslavian village of Medjugorje (pronounced med-ju-gorya), here's a WVUE New Orleans update on the impact felt on the city's predominantly Catholic community.

Nearly 2 years earlier, the station's former weekend co-anchors, Jim Bailey and Mary Lou McCall, presented a memorable series of reports on those visions, culminating in a prime-time special which aired in December 1986 (also on YouTube), public speaking tours at New Orleans area churches, and several interviews on WVUE and other media outlets.

WDSU news teases and news/station promos from April 12, 1981:

The YouTube user "toastymallows" features tons of WJW/WJKW Cleveland "Ohio Reporter/One Tank Trip" segments from the late '70s-1992.

Jacky9br strikes again, this time with some late '80s-early '90s Baton Rouge material. First, the start of a WAFB 10 PM newscast on the day after deadly tornadoes struck the area. At 4:56, you'll see incredible amateur video of an explosion caused by the tornado:

From November 29, 1987, WVLA's special report cut-in on the end of the Oakdale prison riots. This was days after the station changed their call letters from WRBT to WVLA.

Ah, "Morning in America"! I *knew* that voice sounded familiar. Thanks.

You're very welcome! Glad to help.

WLS, morning news promo, 1990:

 

 

Anyone know who the VO guy is?  He also voiced this WNBC promo:

 

 

Hal Riney did the voiceovers for these spots. He was also a legendary advertising executive who was best known for creating President Reagan's 1984 "It's Morning Again In America" ad, which helped catapult Reagan to a second term in office. Riney also produced/voiced ads for Ernest and Julio Gallo Wines and Saturn, among many others.

Also from ewjxn's channel, but this time I've brightened the video quality of the original:

I know, lolz.

 

Should the NMSA change this theme from KTNV 1987 to (maybe) WBRZ 1983? The actual WBRZ 1983 on there I think was first used at WFSB. I know the Discovered Music Composers thread has had a discussion on this before.

Absolutely. I still don't know why it hasn't been changed. Clearly, WBRZ used "The Land of the 3" as its news theme back then, even though they didn't use their promo campaign.

Shame on you jacky9br for not uploading this sooner so I could include it in my WBRZ compilation!!!

It's from a new tape he got the other day.
