jdcnow 14 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Post your nominations here. From WFAA: 1999 [YT]3RJq-kCfq6U[/YT] circa 2005-6 (Evolution era, followed by some excellent talent station IDs) [YT]iIjNF55nIoU[/YT] An unaired 1980 WFAA promo that the public never got to see until it popped up on YouTube. Well done for the time. [YT]9kgkll_lbn0[/YT] Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/3321-greatest-news-promos-of-all-time/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ntropolis 598 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 That WBBM "Nobody Does It Better" promo from the 70s... there's a video on YouTube but it's not very good quality. I love this KWTV promo, very well-produced spot, a realistic approach: [yt]2Z_ayei8EPQ[/yt] Without a doubt, this WBNS promo that aired during last year's Super Bowl: [yt]ijLAPCGTAY0[/yt] There are definitely more, including numerous image campaign songs...

jdcnow 14 Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 At the end of this montage clip from KDFW's 1997 9pm news is an image promo for the 10pm newscast featuring longtime KDFW star anchor and North Texas TV news goddess Clarice Tinsley, who has been with the station literally since the late 70s.

Jess 1115 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 You kids and your serious, slick news promos. I'll take one of those horribly cheesy 1980s WPVI Action News promos any day. [yt][/yt] And if you think they've moved beyond these... I managed to catch a brand new general Action News promo that fits riiiiiight in with these.

WAVY 10 Fan 233 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Some of my favorites: Mid-late 1980s WAVY Promo http://youtube.com/watch?v=DL-Iw7wbXjY 2004 WVEC "Daybreak" Promo (from when "Spirit of Hampton Roads" slogan was revived) http://youtube.com/watch?v=oMboj86auT4 1979/80 KYW "Direct Connection" Promo (so bad, it's good; apparently bundled with other promos for the station) http://youtube.com/watch?v=4-26g7amiP0 http://youtube.com/watch?v=p4EIK8AFK8o Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/3321-greatest-news-promos-of-all-time/#findComment-33690 Share on other sites More sharing options...
