I haven't been on here in some time! Latest clips

Next? It could be AI anchors, AI meteorologists, and AI sports on a virtual set with only one 'producer' in some centrally-hubbed area sending reports from the MMJs to the AI. Whom we will only see in prerecorded reports - and only live during breaking news. God, I hope we never fall that low in news journalism.

Losing Aaron is a major loss to TV news. His first day at CNN was 9/11. The rest was history. Aaron was also part of a great team at KIRO in the late '80s - all reunited in the skies now (Harry Wappler and Wayne Cody). Very unique charisma and PROFESSIONAL on the air. He will be missed!!

Just got word from Michael Pannoni that WQED Pittsburgh content is being pulled down. Even just random promos from that PBS station got a copyright strike for him. Anyone with Pittsburgh recordings yet to digitize - please don't bother uploading anything from the PBS station.

Two HUGE developments in central WA: Alan Sillence and Monty Webb are both retiring from television. Their last days are next week if I recall. Alan is one of the last Fisher/Retlaw holdouts at KIMA, working as the sports director for the past 31 years. Mike McCabe will be the only one left, having worked at KIMA/KEPR since the late '90s. And Monty Webb has been all over the place doing weather (Louisville, Seattle, etc.) and came back home to central WA for the past several years at KNDU. Monty leaves television after nearly 35 years on the air doing what he loved. https://www.tri-cityherald.com/news/local/article297548678.html https://kimatv.com/news/local/yakima-celebrates-alan-sillence-day-honoring-31-years-of-sports-broadcasting-excellence

I recently moved to Idaho. So Boise is the 'default' local market now. I still have several hundred tapes to convert, a majority of which are Yakima (my old market).

New content from Boise and Reno.

Gosh, look at Steve Pool's hair!!! His hair length went down over time but he looked the same from that point until he died last year. I am now living in Idaho. 60 miles north of Boise, to be exact. I brought 75% of my collection over (hundreds to convert), the rest is still in Yakima to be picked up early next year. Tons of new clips I've digitized: KIMA News at 6, 1/12/1998 The late and FOREVER great Hal Fishman on this classic KTLA snippet from July 1983 Another KIMA 6PM newscast, 1/16/1998, but only the A-segment this time KATU snippets from Feb-Mar 1994. Taper recorded Heaven & Hell: North and South Book III and left parts of the 11pm news each night. One has the arrival of Tonya Harding back home. KAPP 1/15/1998, 11PM with Renee McCullough

A few new clips WXYZ 11PM Action News Update, 11/17/1990 Some rare Liberty Weekend stuff! Today Show, 4th of July 1986, with the Parade of Ships, Gov. Mario Cuomo, etc. - and look at those Missoula commercials! Morning news clip from KOMO 4 Seattle, October 1994

A couple of local finds: KNDO 9/26/02 11:00 news with Sunny Jenkins and Cynthia Schnabel on KIMA News Weekend Edition, 9/10/2000 but wait there's more: A NewsWatch 35 teaser is on this compilation of commercials from WSEE Erie, 2/24/1999 during the Grammys. This was from the C-Band Primetime 24 feed, thus the 800 numbers and "See CBS" IDs. PT24 had the local ads plastered over like they did with WRAL.
