A new find direct from Beta - about 5 minutes of ABC World News Sunday taped 9/14/1997 with Carole Simpson. Wonder how long ABC used this graphics package as I don't recognize it.

And some re-uploads from pre-YT termination... KOMO News 4 at 11 4/17/95, where only one person at the anchor desk (Steve Pool) is still alive today. Kathi, Eric, and Bruce are all up in the skies now.

And CNN NewsNight from 1/4/89 - Patrick Emory and Donna Kelley anchoring. Other CNN shows from that night have been reposted, including Crossfire and Moneyline.

New Beta finds!

KSTW Ten O'Clock News open, 1/17/88 with Rod Simons

And a KIRO Eyewitness News open from 10/15/1984, which includes the KIRO 'NewsJet', a younger Susan Hutchison, John Marler, and highlights of the Spellman-Gardner gubernatorial debate.

NOTE FOR H-TOWN...I just recently got another small lot of Betamax tapes, they came from Kansas but the TV footage seems to be from the Houston area. Some great KHOU newscasts to share soon from the late 1980s. Maybe more, as I have several left to inventory.

A very young, Seahawk-playing, pre-KIRO Steve Raible in a PSA for the Variety Club, promos for 'Kidsworld,' a local news program produced by children and anchored by children, and more, in this classic compilation of ads from Q6 KHQ Spokane...way back in January 1982!

Clip of KOVR 13 News from November 7th, 1998, the night John Glenn made it home from the Space Shuttle Discovery, and also the day that Newt Gingrich announced he would step down as House Speaker.

KCRA 3 Reports clip takes up most of this clip from 11/7/88, the night before the 1988 election

Reposting this - albeit ghosty/fuzzy, KSTW 11 at 11, 4/30/1995, shortly after switch to CBS. Kevin Reece anchoring.

And NEW overall - Heidi Tauber anchoring KIMA NewsBeat in August 1986.

This and a series of newsmagazine/newscast clips from the Northridge earthquake in Los Angeles (28 years ago tomorrow) have been re-posted:

RARE stuff from Ha! TV Comedy Network, taped around May of 1990...no commercials, just bumpers and promos. This was MTV's short-lived comedy network which combined with HBO's Comedy Channel to create Comedy Central. This was long before South Park, Jon Stewart, and Roast specials. I was very pleased to find this.

He stopped posting soap operas after he went down the first time, right? The bad luck just continues...sorry to hear about this!

Start of a KIRO Eyewitness News broadcast with Nerissa Williams at the end of this video - 8/12/88

KIMA News at 11, 2/7/02

A younger Scott Stovall on KNDO/KNDU's Late Edition news, from Veterans Day 1996 (he's been at KEPR now for several years).

Part of the KTXL (Sacramento) NewsPlus from July 31st, 1985, Andy Asher the anchor:

and a little clip of INN's USA Tonight, taped 6/12/88 off KNDO-23 Yakima with Marvin Scott (no local news on weekends).

Small clip of KNDO NewsCenter 23 (Yakima WA), taped in the summer of 1989. Peter Fields is the weatherman, Mary Leonard the anchor. Wish I had more of this.

Just the opening montage, but yep. I've got more coming from the core markets (Seattle/Yakima), maybe others as I go through tubs and boxes.

Some clips as we all continue to dig out of nearly *twenty* inches of snow in Ellensburg. Apparently, will be the worst storm we've had since 1996.

KGO 5PM, 4/6/98 (partial)

Partial WCCO 10pm newscast, 3/8/96

Some more 'previously uploaded' clips!

KIMA NewsBeat, 8/6/1987

A small KING 5 News clip at the end of this clip, all about the ACM Award winners. 5/3/94

Another KING 5 News clip from 1993 or so, followed by a brief clip of ABC Primetime Live

First several minutes of News 4 Colorado at 10 (KCNC) 2/3/96, Kathy Walsh and Alan Gionet. Captured directly from a C-Band dish...

Cool. Does Harpo often strike the content you upload from OWN? And also, I wonder if you may have the copy from Oprah's show 25th of April, 1988. Season 3, Episode 5 laying around?
Take care.

Harpo is protective of their properties at least on YouTube. And for Dr. Phil's show, even on Internet Archive. Not that Dr. Phil is that interesting anyways. And no, I don't have that episode around on VHS.

Some more re-uploads:

KIRO 11/23/90, partial, with a classic pairing of Aaron Brown, and the late Harry Wappler and Wayne Cody.

and part of CBS News America Tonight from later that evening...RARE!

Stu Seibel signs off from KIMA, 11/16/2007. I am so happy that I finally reuploaded this. Still alive and well retired in Yakima. Love that man...so much knowledge. 

KING 5 News open at the end here, 11/5/1990 - Don Porter, Jean Enersen

In time for the holidays, Whitney Houston & Mariah Carey on Oprah (1998)

 

RE OPRAH...I would download it soon, 90% chance a strike is a'comin from Harpo.

Anyways, I was able to find the first 2-3 minutes of a WGN Bozo Show from 1994 recently. It's just the opening greeting and the start of a skit...no 'grand prize game', no bucket #6. Not easy to find these! It would have been just months before WGN pulled the plug on morning cartoons and moved Bozo to Sundays.

WQAD Nightside open 1995, found on a YT channel that mostly had family home movies

WQAD clip 1998

KWQC news from 1997

Thanksgiving was yesterday, but I forgot to post this. Most of 'America's Thanksgiving Parade' from 1995, hosted by Mort Crim and Carmen Harlan from WDIV Detroit along with guest host *Tim Allen*! It was syndicated to a bunch of stations, and this was taped off Fox 28, KAYU Spokane.

Classic clips from KING 5 in Seattle. Two from 1993 and one from January 1999.

25 years ago, a devastating ice storm hit the Inland Northwest and eastern Washington. I had a bunch of clips posted on the old account before YouTube shut it down. And they are back - 25 years later: lots of KREM (Charles Rowe, current Mayor Nadine Woodward), KHQ (Randy Shaw, Debra Wilde) and KXLY (various anchors including Mark Wright) to share.

Scott Stovall on KNDO in 2006 before he went to KIMA and then KEPR.

and Renee McCullough on KAPP in February 1997, also includes the open to Nightline

More goodies from Yakima

And now a flashback to growing up north of Seattle: KIRO 7 Eyewitness News at 11, taped 2/2/2003. Wayne Havrelly is one of the anchors.

And a little bit of Up to the Minute from later that night, with Bonnie Behrend filling in for Melissa McDermott

I've got one of those Proud as a Peacock ID bumpers for KNDO buried on tape in one of my tubs. It was the full promotional campaign jingle with KNDO references.

There was a spectacular 1982 find made from Great Falls on one of those Beta tapes. I will get to it soon...
