FYI, only the second video is viewable here in the US; the others all just show this:
 

Ugh, stupid region blocking.

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.

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:

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.

So I'm guessing they'll be doing a more refined national newscast, then?

Interesting that they opted to keep the headlines, and simply recolored the old lower thirds but the theme just doesn't work for headlines, given that the 87 headline theme doesn't have an opener. They also kept them for names L3's. 

Personally, I would have switched it the other way around.

Wow those lower thirds look like ass.

In typical CBS News fashion, they make one big step forward and then two steps backwards. Why the inconsistency between the weekday and weekend?

Maybe they haven't gotten around to installing the new lower thirds yet.

I believe during Scott Pelley era (2011-2016), they use the original 1987 open as bumper break, alongside the variations of 1987 theme.

Any video?

Guess I’ll add also. Watching it, it felt more like something from the BBC. The fact they didn’t have a “breaking news” cyron up speaks volume to what they want with this newscast. I think the tease being gone is just something they are testing and we will probably see it back, but will be short to just two or three stories. We will probably see changes happen in the next few months before something more permanent happens. Let’s hope CBS doesn’t mess up anything else. 

Maybe they could use the original 1987 version of the open?

Second edition:

Also, why the hate on the international weather?

Edit: The full bulletin:

It seems like CBS is trying to foster the “Tiffany Network” image again, at least with their news division.

I thought I posted this, but I guess not.

Nice flex.

A great video. I don't hate the new theme; I think it's very well made in its own right. The original however is too iconic and intrinsically linked to the city and Delaware Valley to drop, so I totally get the viewers' utter hated of it (I more than likely would've despised it too if I were older then), and I appreciate that the station recognized a mistake was made and quickly rectified it.

Could it still be re-recorded today? Not as drastically as the 1996 version, of course.

I’m guessing it’s not just branding concerns that caused the end of Eyewitness News.

Portion of a KUTV 1977 News Open (with Al Ham's On Top of It All... and you can see where Peru's Pantel got their influence from)

 

It's worth nothing that there are several full KUTV newscasts from the late-70's available from the University of Utah archives, though you'd have to be on campus or request these tapes.

Well, here's a full open from the same year (though someone cropped it a little too close):

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":

And here's a holiday version of KIRO-TV's Klein& image campaign!

I wanna know why they replaced the theme? I want to hear the 2016 theme again.
