sanewsguy 510 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 It's not that unusual. KMOL used the same SSB in the 80's. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/90/#findComment-108688 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2895 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I know, you're getting tired of this Phoenix material, but is it worth it or what: First off, a video featuring Mary Jo West, one of the trailblazers of women in TV news. It even includes another sample of that late 1970s KOOL-TV theme: Secondly, I follow a Google+ page that posts excellent Phoenix historical stuff, and today it was all TV news: KOOL 1977 print ad with the team of Bill Close, Mary Jo West, Roy Allred and Bill Denney KTAR-TV 1966 print ad: "14 GOOD REASONS for watching NEWS on Channel 12", with the news team of Ray Thompson, Frank Peddie, Bob Vache and Bill Stull KTAR's studios in the 70s: gotta love the hanging sign with the old NBC peacock! And if that's not your cup of tea, maybe a WRCB news update from 1984 is? Or ?

Samantha 2895 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Some new Internet Archive items but this is the only really interesting or new one, WAGA from 1987 with "Eyewitness News Morning Edition": https://archive.org/details/tobacco_ugw27a00 EDIT: This is the same guy who voiced KTVK and who the NMSA thinks is Casey Kasem (final five seconds of open are VO). Any clue on if it's really him? Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/90/#findComment-109656 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TServo2049 81 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 That is NOT Casey Kasem. Kasem had a throatier quality to his voice that I do not hear with this guy. I have no idea who told NMSA it was Kasem, possibly the same person who brought it up here when he died?

TheRob 937 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I found this at the end of a tape containing the 1991 NBA Finals. This is Inside Edition, back when Bill O'Reilly hosted.

WWUpdate 1292 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 A bit of CNN as seen in Japan back in 1984 -- it's a mix of CNN from the U.S. (this was before CNN International was launched) and Japanese-language, CNN-branded segments from Tokyo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33Ptglbft9o 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/90/#findComment-110552 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2895 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 That bit at 1:30 in with John Young's voiceover is excellent and unexpected amid all of the Japanese additional material. And speaking of Japan...jump forward five years and step aboard the News Shuttle! The open even includes an animated Space Shuttle. If you're looking for something a little more familiar, there's always WLNE: this 1990 news open is the earliest known date for this theme.

justin2kx 237 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 KNBC News Credits 1990 with chopper 4 flying over the san andreas fault (in faster motion and affordable fuel to go mind you) Can anyone identify the music above?

Samantha 2895 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Neglected to post this additional Japan open from 1993. The (morning) program is called "Oh!", but before that, a sign-on at 5:50 with station ID, slide with some sort of text including day and date (possibly some sort of "have a good day!" if Google Translate isn't completely crazy), and what appears to be an old slide over which the announcer even reads the station's calls (!), JONR-TV (notice the difficulty the announcer has with the R). Like with all of this user's uploads, the local stations are in the Kansai region of Japan. This particular station is known as "ABC".
