WAVY 10 Fan

I think the station Moeller went to was KSDK (the NBC station at the Gateway to the West). Coming back to VARTV; it's been noted that WAVY's been running "Welcome Back" promos for their "The Hampton Roads Show" (set to have a new co-host launching starting September 12). Seems almost like the station is suggesting one of their former reporters might be returning for this job (since Liana Munoz's departure; former WAVY personnel Nicole Livas and Kerri Furey have made guest stops) [MEDIA=twitter]769894410381328384[/MEDIA]

Two more Klein& videos from eyeontv's channel. First is a demo reel dated to 1982 that includes everything from some other Klein& uploads displayed elsewhere on the channel (such as a 1979 WPLG promo and the flying logo sequence set to Direct Connection) to a 3-minute year-end video for the short-lived pay channel Spotlight The other is a series of short "10 is" ID's for WCAU circa 1980

CNN producer Matt Null died on Monday while vacationing in Europe at only 34 years of age https://www.yahoo.com/tv/cnn-producer-dies-vacation-europe-134508405.html

In a related story; not surprisingly this upcoming McLaughlin Group edition will be the last http://deadline.com/2016/08/the-mclaughlin-group-ends-this-week-death-1201805490/

Another veteran at WVEC exiting. Sandra Parker (with the station since 1990) leaving on her own [MEDIA=twitter]765461302777184256[/MEDIA] For those keeping score; that makes four members of the on-air team that had been at WVEC 15+ years leaving (TEGNA buyout/retirement of Joe Flanagan and Velma Scaife; Craig Moeller leaving for St. Louis).

WTKR producing a new lifestyle show called Coast Live to be co-hosted by April Woodard (returning to 'TKR after working for BET, MSNBC and FOX among other stops) and former WAVY meteorologist Cheryl Nelson. http://wtkr.com/2016/07/27/introducing-coast-live/ The show is scheduled to launch in September in the 10:00 a.m. spot currently held by the 700 Club (which will be going to sister station WGNT; the first time they've carried the 700 Club since 2003).

Looks like some shuffling in the anchor roles at WTKR come September; with Erica Greenway being added to the morning newscasts as an anchor/reporter (though it sounds more like the newsreader position on the network morning shows) and Todd Corillo becoming the weekend evening anchor http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/7/14/shuffling-the-anchors-in-norfolk

Weren't there rumors Matt was linked to Savannah Guthrie at one point as well? At this point, which female Today on-air person has Lauer not been rumored to be sleeping with?

1992 WTKR ID (a Channel 3 Eyewitness News spot teasing an "Eleven at Eleven" story later that Saturday night on "The Relations Race")

Craig Moeller's first day at KSDK will be July 25 according to this St. Louis Post-Dispatch article http://www.stltoday.com/lifestyles/columns/joe-holleman/ksdk-hires-stl-native-craig-moeller-as-top-meteorologist/article_6c5f3285-9e6d-59f0-b70b-e5b487c22531.html

A couple more Klein& clips since I posted last night. Promo reel for WPLG from 1980 And from NewsActive3; parts 1 and 2 of a September 6, 1972 ABC Evening News (acquired from the Vanderbilt TV News Archive) Part 1 Part 2

Over on eyeontv; there have been quite a few uploads on that channel of late. Uploaded today; here's an August 1978 Klein& demo reel (mostly reruns; but the highlight is a clean cut of the Direct Connection theme at the end) 1978 KFMB Klein& Sampler Reel Early 1980s Klein& Demo Reel

WAVY reporter Liz Palka leaving the station next week (no details on next location; though she mentioned she'll have two roles as reporter and Navy wife -- with her marrying a sailor in a few weeks) http://pilotonline.com/entertainment/tv/wavy-tv-reporter-liz-palka-to-leave-station/article_c97ce68e-344b-5ee9-81ca-d88137b4a314.html

Just saw that on my subscriptions and was on my way to post (remembered seeing the first one briefly on WAVY's site when they were celebrating their 50th anniversary). Looks like WAVY began using "The Daily News" as their branding much earlier than previously thought (since the upload is directly from the station, I'm confident in saying the dates are correct).

From eyeontv; here's a Klein& jingle sampler reel (most of which are available in full on YouTube; but a couple of interesting clips at the end such as one for WINS-AM 1010 and a spot for KABC-AM 790 using the Direct Connection theme to close out the reel)

I remembered hearing that at the end of the Dolphin demos (where they had brief clips of their work). Just curious now as to how far back that theme's usage on WKRC went (the Dolphin reel in question was labeled as 1977; and based on a comment in a 1978 demo reel Image West swallowed Dolphin up sometime in late 1978).

NewsActive3 upload of the November 4, 1969 edition of the Today show (Barbara Walters was off working on a piece concerning President Nixon, which makes the choice of the first commercial all the more ironic) Part 1: Part 2:

Saw this explanation on a VARTV retweet for a power outage at WWLP that (since WWLP is one of Media General's master control hubs) wreaked havoc on several other MG stations (including WAVY/WVBT) and thought it was a joke at first; but yes a squirrel must have went berserk and triggered the outage last week http://www.fybush.com/nerw-20160530/ Elsewhere, WAVY's The Hampton Roads Show apparently has a revolving door for the female co-host opposite Chris Reckling. Luana Munoz was the latest to exit; with former WAVY morning anchor Kerri Furey brought in as a substitute [MEDIA=twitter]737400715665149953[/MEDIA]

From MRC3: MrSurferPlus' channel; the May 28, 1992 WNYW FOX 10 'O Clock News From stevations' channel; a brief (9 minute) WAVY compilation from two different days in July 1992

Found this near the end of a late 1991 tape with recordings from WGNT (there were only a couple of minutes left after this). Apparently this was a news break focusing on scheduled debate for Senate Bill 12 (the Senate version of the Cable Television Consumer Protection Act of 1991 that had passed the House). As another note, the fade in and out is how it aired.

Weird doesn't begin to cover this one. KPHO fires reporter Jonathan Lowe after he was arrested for...um, relieving himself on a residential yard (while assigned to covering a strange story in its own right involving a man killing his family dog because he didn't like his daughter's shirt) http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/5/19/pooping-reporter-is-fired

Another NewsActive3 upload, this time an NBC Nightly News upload from February 23, 1988 (the part that caught my interest was a lead story in which Pat Robertson suggested the campaign of Vice-President Bush may have influenced the timing of the Jimmy Swaggart story breaking in order to hurt Robertson's campaign prior to Super Tuesday) Part 1: Part 2:

WTKR set to add a weeknight sports anchor for the first time in about 7-8 years this summer with the hiring of KEYE's Adam Winkler [MEDIA=twitter]732987819136782336[/MEDIA] Maybe the station's expecting to have something they hadn't had for nearly a quarter-century prior to pulling the plug on the sports report: stability (and perhaps WTKR is planning to highlight Winkler's youth compared to veteran sports anchors Bruce Rader at WAVY and WVEC's Scott Cash).

From NewsActive3's channel; here's an upload (in 2 parts) of the Christmas 1981 edition of ABC World News Tonight (with Frank Reynolds apparently anchoring solo) Part 1: Part 2:

Stumbled across this WXIA 11 Alive Newsroom from June 21, 1981 (the day Wayne Williams was arrested for the Atlanta child murders) Anyone know what the opening theme is? Doesn't sound like Hello News (listed as first being used on 11 Alive in 1980)
