TheOneManHerd 553 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 The KTVK video is pretty good. The days when local TV actually aired major college football games... That sponsor bumper is pretty familiar-sounding, too... And that cue lives on in 2017, in snarky sports videos. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/168/#findComment-184400 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicksair 62 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rRuqyggWoo Folks, the holy grail of mid-70's news coverage in LA uncovered IMO. The SLA Shootout. Absolutely amazed that this has been saved/preserved. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/168/#findComment-184415 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBC5NewsUnova 65 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Univision 41's own Merijoel Duran has a slew of clips of WXTV from the late 90s to today, mostly from their morning newscast. Here's a small sample: Somewhere between late 1998 to early 1999 (Just a guess) Clip from 1999 A clip on the day after 9/11 Another weather segment from 2001 One more, from 2008. Now for some bonus clips of her working at WNJU as a weather lady: One from around 1993 or 1994 ...and one from 1996 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/168/#findComment-184419 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Info Junkie 1286 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Never thought that KPNX Open resembled WCCO's... I even wonder if Wow & Flutter were the composers for that 1992 Theme... Now I just want to see an open from their "Real News" era (1989-90). From what I've seen, I think it would look VERY similar to what sister station WXIA's open looked like (which actually debuted in 1986).

TheMassMediaGeek 98 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 65 years ago today, A station on channel 27 in Portland, Oregon made history as being the first UHF station that is still operating today. That station is KPTV, now on Channel 12. Here is a ID from KPTV from the 1980s 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/168/#findComment-184427 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2895 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Three news stories from the same night: September 22, 1996, when ASU upset Nebraska en route to the Rose Bowl. All show some interesting graphics: Note that Geoff Morrell is wearing a polo with a new KSAZ logo. We're just weeks away from the Fox 10 relaunch... And we also got 7 minutes of Jude La Cava's sports show from that night, too. Note the transitional "Fox 10" logo... And a little chunk of KPHO too... 4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/168/#findComment-184434 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2895 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 A KNXV Fox 15 promo from Saturday, May 21, 1994.

WWUpdate 1291 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 ^^^^ Those were recorded just a few weeks before KTVK lost its ABC affiliation. At the time, Good Morning America and, I believe, World News Tonight had already migrated to KNXV, but prime time ABC programming was still on KTVK. (The channel had even filed an unsuccessful complaint with the FCC to prevent ABC from switching to KNXV.)

Samantha 2895 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 A whole reel of KOAT footage from this photographer who spent five months there in 1998. Starts out with a shot of his John Christopher Burns-designed business card (and other graphics that still jump off the screen 20 years later!). How had I not seen this before? 4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/168/#findComment-184474 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Info Junkie 1286 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Starts out with a shot of his John Christopher Burns-designed business card (and other graphics that still jump off the screen 20 years later!). Yeah, Burns was a client for Pulitzer (KOAT's owner). His work popped up on KOAT's sister stations as well, mainly WYFF, KCCI, WDSU, and WGAL. (WESH doesn't count cause they were still H&C owned when they debuted Jcbd's graphics in 1992). By the way, speaking of WYFF, I'm now on the hunt for finding footage from that station from the 1990s. So far, all we have is the 1990 news update, a 1991-92 promo and update which can both be found on Facebook, some 1993-94 promos on YouTube, a short open from 1994 on NewsActive3's compilations, and a partial newscast which incorrectly stated that the station was WSPA in the video title. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/168/#findComment-184476 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWUpdate 1291 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 This promo has reminded me of the sung segment open used by KTVK in the early years of Good Evening Arizona before extended CNN segments: "Bringing you the world, we're the home of CNN!" I wonder if that jingle has ever popped up on YouTube? 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/168/#findComment-184484 Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmaxhanson 650 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Nice! I'm glad Ry's collection wasn't damaged by Harvey. By 1993, KBMT was using Spirit of Texas and the same graphics as WUAB: The next year, they were using Palmer News Package and a copy of KIII's open from the same time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=4YaGHvLLepU;m=6;s=24 And here's a real oddity: KBMT using The One & Only, but with their previous classic logo! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=Zaqc7IG-Owo;m=15;s=30 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/168/#findComment-184535 Share on other sites More sharing options...
