Speaking of that, the NMSA says WBRZ’s 1983 Theme was in use at WFSB, so I thought it’d be fitting to post this on TVNT.

They definitely used "Land Of The 3", at least as a news package.

One white whale spotted. In addition to some of the other Oklahoma City TV news white whales on our wish list, I think one should be complete KFOR newscasts from between 1994 and 1997. NewsActive3 has a couple of opens from that period, although those were culled from editions of NBC Nightside. The graphics KFOR used then were the best they ever used prior to the modified version of the Tribune Fox package they introduced last August. I'm not sure, but the '94 package may have been made by the same firm that created KRON's 1995-99 graphics package, there are a lot of similar elements in both. (I do have a video featuring most of a 4:30 p.m. newscast from early 1997, but I can't upload it since I don't have a capture card plus my laptop is being repaired.)

 

BTW, the "24-Hour News and Information Source/Station" slogan introduced with the "4 Strong" rebranding was the subject of a legal challenge filed by KOCO days after it took place. From Wikipedia (with articles from The Daily Oklahoman about the case linked in the quote):

 

Within months, KFOR switched to obliquely referencing its 24-Hour News Source format in the news slogan it used until the fall(?) of '97, "Where the News Comes First, 24 Hours a Day," which was also used by sister station WHO during that period. In hindsight, KFOR's on-air look during the News Team 4 era was basically a knockoff (unintentional or not) of KOCO's then-recently-introduced John Christopher Burns package. The "4 Strong" branding is even reminiscent of KOCO's "5 Alive" moniker.

Somewhere in my archives, I do have some KFOR primetime cut-ins from the '92 Summer Olympics. I might post those at some point.

KLAX (Alexandria, LA)'s opening moments from its 10 PM newscast on February 13, 1994:

Also from KALB circa April 2, 1991, the complete "Live at 5":

I suspect Mr. Perry was based in Cleveland. I recall hearing his voice on a spot on the then 3WE radio (now WTAM) for the Cleveland Symphony (at Severance Hall). The WILX link to him makes sense, because at that time the station was owned by Cleveland-based conglomerate ATO, which morphed into Figgie Communications. I believe there is (or was) a promo for Dayton's WHIO-TV's Newscenter 7 that used Mr. Perry's talents.

He was based in Cleveland, according to information WNOL provided to a viewer letter in the Times-Picayune's TV section about one of their movie spots. He also did a lot of work for Showtime and HBO, much of which you can see on YouTube.

The announcer on that Cronkite spot, as well as the WPXI/WILX/KCPQ opens, was Bob Perry. He also did some voiceovers for WNOL (New Orleans) during their pre-Fox/CW days.

Back when it was SuperStation WTBS, the service presented shortened versions of CNN Headline News. Here's one example from Sept. 9th, 1985, anchored by Lyn Vaughn:

Almost 5 and a half hours of CNN coverage from the first Gulf War:

Circa 1984, the PBS business documentary series ENTERPRISE examines the battle between CNN and its first major challenger, the short-lived Satellite News Channel.

WVLA (Baton Rouge) was also a Peters client. I wonder if this promo song was their work:
