ChesapeakeTV 311 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 They must have overhauled in 1996 as they became "Action News 31". There's evidence they used News Edge in the morning (which lasted into KMAX). There's even a partial news open at 3:24. Â https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=q8WFMdaYVHo;t=34 Â Open is absolutely using News Edge - KAYU used the same cut around 2004. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/144/#findComment-168086 Share on other sites More sharing options...

panewswatcher69 28 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Thanks for attaching those Pittsburgh videos. Seeing those videos sure does bring the memories back. I love hearing those classic news themes as well as seeing former anchors. It seems as the actual themes used in the late 70s, 80s, and early 90s are very rare and hard to find in their entirety in the clear. Couple of the news music theme sites do not have the actual variations of the themes which were used in Pittsburgh through the years. A KDKA theme or two were instrumental versions of the campaign songs which were made exclusive to KDKA - iirc, for example, the Renaissance 2 and KD+you themes. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/144/#findComment-168127 Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnoxvilleTVFan 286 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 The videos I have seen on there are nice. I do remember seeing ECO on Galavision in the early 1990s. Â We take you back to 1984 where KDFW aired a promo featuring their news team. They still used the KDFW 1980 News Theme and they also used the WBTV news set. Â Â I do not think this has been shared, but I did find something rare. We take you back to 1983 where KTVB in Boise opens an edition of "NewsCenter 7". They used the Michael Randall "NewsCenter" theme during this period. Â Â Also, here is a KTVB news update from 1992 with a different theme being used. The update can be seen at 1:38. Â Â As many of you know, TV stations across the United States used the classic TM Productions package entitled "The Spirit (of Texas)". Radio stations even used it in some form or another. WNIR in Akron uses it for their talk format. How about WDAF? They used it in 1994 to open newscasts. You can hear the WDAF ID and news intro using TM's package at 0:05.

TServo2049 81 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 A KDKA theme or two were instrumental versions of the campaign songs which were made exclusive to KDKA - iirc, for example, the Renaissance 2 and KD+you themes. Â I believe the Renaissance 2 theme is on NMSA as "WROC 1987 News Theme", though I've long had a suspicion it was originally for KDKA. NMSA doesn't even list them as having used it, but I've seen a promo on YouTube with one of the cuts (possibly one of Thor's deleted videos?) Â I also assume the KD+You theme is the one that went with the tunnel animation, that has long been assumed (quite possibly incorrectly) to be part of Tuesday's News Image by most of the news theme community? (It's understandable why, it has the same 4-note logo, but in the past couple years, as more Tuesday stuff has been identified, I have become less and less sure that KDKA theme was even the work of Tuesday.) Â Yeah, opens are hard to find - some KDKA stuff (such as one of the "Here's 2" promos) only surfaced through some low-bitrate videos of classic clips posted on their site for some anniversary in the mid-00s, which are probably long gone. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/144/#findComment-168299 Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnoxvilleTVFan 286 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 With all the rare news videos popping up on this forum, we can add another one to the list. Â We take you back to 1977 where we feature a rare clip of a WMAZ newscast. There is no open in the video, but it does feature a news story on the UGA Redcoat Band. At the end of the video is a WMAZ news bumper with an unknown music piece. Â Â Also, here is a portion of KOVR's news from October 7, 1991 featuring news open. Â Â Here are a set of CBS/WCIA commercials from December 7, 1986 with a portion of WCIA's news. The news open can be seen at 30:09. The voice-over doing the WCIA intro sounds like the work of Dan Region who was also the announcer of "As The World Turns" at the time. Or...it may have been someone from WCIA. Â Â Velma Scaife, longtime WVEC reporter, passed away recently. What we don't know was that before Velma became a WVEC reporter, she worked at WCYB-TV in Bristol during 1986. Here are a couple of news updates that Velma did for the late news on WCYB during this period. Â https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TEScWV5lyA Â And keeping with the Tri-Cities theme, here is a WJHL news promo as aired in 1985 for "Eyewitness News". However, the video is rough and shot from a video camera pointed to the TV. The music heard in the promo is an unknown theme piece which may have been WJHL's news theme at the time.
