WAVY 10 Fan

I was wondering exactly what happened to that channel. Glad to see you're back to displaying classic Milwaukee footage.

Back to the future at WTKR? (Haven't seen anything elsewhere other than VARTV) [MEDIA=twitter]725266327015968768[/MEDIA]

From radioman1968's channel; a video tribute of sorts to late Atlanta anchor Chuck Moore featuring clips from his time at WAGA

I agree with hoping they don't get pushed out in a future buyout; but then again it's no doubt much more difficult to push out your entire weeknight news team (at the same time, anyway) than two people who, though veterans of the station and still rather visible (Joe Flanagan as weekend morning anchor in addition to the "Joe's Job" segment; Velma Scaife being the longtime reporter covering the Lower Virginia Peninsula {primarily Hampton and Newport News}) weren't the top talent on the station.

Big shakeup coming at WVEC? VARTV is reporting longtime WVEC reporters Joe Flanagan and Velma Scaife have accepted an early retirement package from Tegna (Flanagan's been at the station for 32 years; Scaife for 30) [MEDIA=twitter]719932156210999296[/MEDIA]

More WVEC footage I put up (one from 1999; the rest from May 1995). First, the 1999 WVEC "Thirteen Means News" ID A 1995 "Spirit of Hampton Roads" ID; though instead of a snippet of the jingle being played or sung we hear a choir harmonizing WVEC's Crime Line promo Finally; a WVEC School Spirit promo for a rerun of the 1988 NBC mini-series "(Gore Vidal's) Lincoln"

WAVY added another classic newscast from their archives; this time a May 22, 1986 edition of the Daily News focusing on an A-6 crash at the Oceana Naval air station in Virginia Beach (also the first clip I've seen of CBS News reporter Byron Pitts when he worked at the station)

From pannoni5's channel; here's the April 6, 1978 edition of ABC Evening News (video aspect ratio is somewhat on the narrow side) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnWW8iudf-c Same user, different channel (pannoni4). This one is the ABC Evening News from July 14, 1977 covering the NYC blackout Also on pannoni4's channel; the entire extended edition of WABC's 11:00 Eyewitness News

Former CBS News correspondent Eric Engberg died yesterday http://deadline.com/2016/03/eric-engberg-dead-cbs-news-bill-oreilly-1201727479/

Found this August 20, 1986 WTKR News 3 clip (from just before the Discover the Land of the 3 period). Clearly a transitional period (still using the Serifa typeface and early-1980s 3; but toward the end we see the Discover-era mural of the Norfolk skyline behind Ed Hughes)

WTKR's supposed to be getting a new set soon [MEDIA=twitter]712250026706210816[/MEDIA]

Uploaded a couple of early 1991 WTKR promos

The bumpers/close are definitely Tuesday2 (apparently there were some cuts different from the NMSA copy); but not 100% certain one way or the other with the intro.

Another newscast from WAVY-TV's archive; this time from October 4, 1983

WTKR adding Merris Badcock and Brian Hill (different Brian Hill from the one that worked there in the late 1980s) to their news team [MEDIA=twitter]701906450612887557[/MEDIA]

I decided to flip to GMA today and was surprised to see Sam Champion there. Apparently now I know why.

Here's what might be the earliest clip with the current WAVY logo I've found; a spot for a First News at 5:00 story titled "Lights, Camera, Hampton Roads" that aired following a 15th anniversary celebration of SNL (most of which was taped over; this was another "end of the tape" clip)

Another WAVY one from August 18, 1989 (shortly before WAVY dropped the Gold 10 for the current logo) Noticed around the 2:20 mark that the Chyron under Leanne Rains' name read "WAVY News 10"; so it looks like the station was phasing out the Daily News branding around this time (still used the Daily News in the intro)

Noticed WAVY-TV's YouTube page has its own archive section (most of the footage so far has been raw Chopper 10 shots from the first few years that was used); but I did see a couple of specials they did also included. 1992 WAVY Special (Under the Gun: Violence in Hampton Roads) 1994 WAVY Special (Stopping the Violence)

stevations' upload of Hampton Roads coverage of Hurricane Gloria (mostly WAVY footage; with clips from WTKR and the Weather Channel toward the end)

From SkittlesMan's channel; here WTKR's September 12, 1986 News 3 at Noon (I think Glenn {Corillo} Corey and Ann Keffer were noon anchors at some point in their tenure at 'TKR). This might be the earliest clip I've seen their "Discover the Land of the 3" theme used (different, more synth-heavy cut than the version in the 1989 newscast I uploaded a while back) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrASY7XMyr8
