Have you got any WCVB or WJAR newscasts?

And whoever made that WRCB open was thinking TVbD!

I'm trying to recall who did WRCB's. When I worked at KAMU in the late 80s, there was some internal feeds for stations, where they'd showcase a designer, to promote creative ideas (i.e., when stations had graphics staffs, and that was a PBS station with no local news...). I believe it was whomever designed the WDIV graphics late 80s/early 90s using First News (where "News 4" flies in and "bounces" off the screen:

WKXT Knoxville's Great News open (Logo here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bdk3NfOwEEI)

WBAL's Pride Inside Open (though this isn't the one I have somewhere):

 

WFMY was also a client as was KJRH with their 80s' 2 logo. The design house used a lot of static "cut out"/silhouetted shots and "flying 3D Text" images (aka the end of the WRCB open).

 

I'll see if I can find the original feature...

I'm going through everything methodically, migrating from DVD to hard drive(s). I'm prioritizing the posting based on newscast age - the older the better. (I haven't run across my KCEN 1987 newscast yet, but do have the tape, if I need to re-digitize it...)

 

If I run across any pre-2000, they'll get posted, once converted and I don't run out of space for the week (I get 5GB upload/week, unless I upgrade to 20GB - which I'm thinking of doing, but need to save a little money up first). Once/If I upgrade, get ready for a slew of stuff, up through about 2006...

Another Phoenix gem from ewjxn: KTVK's 11 AM Arizona Morning from 1981. Looks a bit like early Good Morning Arizona, which launched 13 years later!

 

 

BTW, this promo shows what KTVK's midday news looked like four years later:

 

In 1994, KPNX was the only Phoenix station not to change affiliations. This is how the station promoted its bond with NBC at the time:

 

 

And here are a couple of KNPX updates/teases from that period:

Found two more goodies for y'all:

KOKH's NewsTouch25 in 1987:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=nySUjMYbLSA;m=2;s=59

 

A couple of things to unpack here. One, the 'stache that Kelly Ogle is sporting in the clip; and two, his obvious attempt not to speak in his Oklahoma drawl.

Here's more rare KOAT in the 1980s. It includes a news close using "Where You Belong" by TM Productions at 4:32 and a news open from 1983 at 4:54. The open from 1983 features an unknown news theme.
