  1. Ugh, stupid region blocking.
  2. TV5 Philippines recently unveiled a new look for their newscasts, having unveiled a new set that debuted during the recent midterm elections: Of course, the music seems to still need some work. They're using the mixture of the previous stings from the 2020 Frontline theme with the 2017 arrangement of the even older Aksyon theme from 2010, which was revived back in March.
  3. Following up on this, recently uploaded to YouTube are two bulletins from October 1994: the 1 October edition of News 5 Tonight presented by Duncan Watt and Karen Ann Lam with Bertrand Bartlett on sports (top stories peacekeeping problems, an art outreach in Egypt, and an investment education program) and the 10 October edition of News 5 at Seven presented by Nicolette Tjoa and Christine Tan (top stories Singapore's first gold at the Asian Games in 12 years and a report on strokes), followed by a promo for that day's News 5 Tonight: In 1994, Singapore's Channel 5 underwent a major rebrand as part of a shift to an exclusively Anglophone service, alongside the planned privatization of the Singapore Broadcasting Corporation (now MediaCorp). American graphic design company Novocom was hired to produce the look, and the channel adopted Gari Communications' "Where It All Happens" music package. This was particularly evident in their newscasts, which were split into 7pm and 10:30pm bulletins, known as News 5 at Seven (aimed at late workers who might have missed the previous 9pm bulletins) and News 5 Tonight (aimed at late night viewers) (unfortunately, the idea of a News 5 at Five missed them by a mile). They were later joined by what appeared to be a midday bulletin, News 5 Today, around next year (records seem spotty). The graphics underwent modification that year, and the music was replaced with what seemed to be in-house compositions. "Where It All Happens" seemed to have returned by 1998, and remained in use until 2001. News 5 Today and News 5 at Seven were axed by 1999, and News 5 Tonight was moved to 9:30pm, where it remains to this day. These recordings were made during what was perhaps the height of this American-styled presentation for this channel.
  4. A full edition of Channel 5 Singapore's News 5 Tonight from October 6, 1994, demonstrating both their Novocom-produced graphics and Frank Gari's Where It All Happens package:
  5. So I'm guessing they'll be doing a more refined national newscast, then?
  6. Personally, I would have switched it the other way around. Maybe they haven't gotten around to installing the new lower thirds yet.
  7. Any video?
  8. Maybe they could use the original 1987 version of the open? InShot_20250128_185232423.mp4
  9. Second edition: Also, why the hate on the international weather? Edit: The full bulletin:
  10. It seems like CBS is trying to foster the “Tiffany Network” image again, at least with their news division.
  11. I thought I posted this, but I guess not. ATV-10 Melbourne’s version of Collier Concept’s “The Team to Watch” promo:
  12. Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but there’s a new rendition of the Hello News image theme for KWQC:
  13. Could it still be re-recorded today? Not as drastically as the 1996 version, of course.
  14. Another Collier Concepts promo, edited together by ATV-10 in Melbourne:
  15. Network 10 Australia is celebrating the 60th anniversary of its news operations, and they recently posted this compilation of clips (mostly from Sydney and Melbourne) to commemorate it, from old news opens to behind the scenes footage to promos (including another of TEN-10’s Eyewitness News promos from Collier Concepts!):
  16. I’m guessing it’s not just branding concerns that caused the end of Eyewitness News.
  17. WAND 10:00 news followed by Nightline, 1995 (after the 67th Academy Awards):
  18. Here's KXAS from 1984, with what appears to be a Collier Concepts open:
  19. Well, here's a full open from the same year (though someone cropped it a little too close):
  20. On the international front, here's a lucky find: a 1996 bulletin from defunct Turkish TV channel Has Bilgi Birikim (the country's fourth private TV channel, operational from 1992 to 2000), featuring Alan Hawkshaw's "Best Endeavours":
  21. And here's a holiday version of KIRO-TV's Klein& image campaign!
  22. I wanna know why they replaced the theme? I want to hear the 2016 theme again.
