WCCO in 1991 with their custom "The Look" song, close to ALCS coverage. The headline opener strongly resembles the CBS Evening News of the era. No open.

 

 

Home footage of the WXIA chopper covering a news story in 1989 plus WSB and WXIA news snippets (and opens) of the coverage.

 

 

A WTVT editorial from 1986:

Some WTEN news clips from 2006 - not sure if this was after they ditched Chris Clausen and Primetime News as the open is clipped - I do notice the L3’s are from the “Momentum News” era though...

 

Clausen was dumped a couple of years before Primetime News was ditched and the L3's changed in late 2005. Momentum News didn't come until the start of 2007 when they did a music change alongside an anchor shuffle.

 

Also this was taken about a month before Terry McSweeney left the station to go back out west.

 

The time when KSAZ gave someone good to the Albany market rather than bring a living debacle as when Kari Lake had her fifteen month detour to WNYT.

WTMJ, May 20, 1993 (man, how many final Cheers newscasts do we have!?)...

 

 

dozens raymie, here is another and do you have a vhs/dvd list at all?

Not local news, but still interesting. A full weekend episode of Extra from May 18, 1997, back when show wanted to be more like Inside Edition instead of ET:

Plus the weekend Hard Copy & George Michael Sports Machine from that day:

 

Note that it was taped off KNDO/KNDU, yet another YT channel with stuff from Yakima/Tri Cities!

The NewsCenter Network (KNDO) pleads for its viewers to "Send Us The News!" in the mid-80s.

 

 

And speaking of the Northwest, did KGW's 5pm open look cheap-o for 1987...

From Northwest to North, a close to KXJB News 4 in 1992 (using the NMSA "1990" theme).

 

 

And the close to the public news program "Prairie News Journal" from 1993.

 

 

And a rich delight, KCOP News 13 from 1989:

A chunk of NewsCenter 10 from November 1986 — with the Best Endeavours era towards its very end.

 

 

Something just occurred to me: SouthernMedia's NMSA has KTSP using the NewsCenter Theme after Best Endeavours but before it adopted the NewsCenter II Theme. If accurate, that period must have been very brief, since I don't remember seeing any clips of KTSP with the original NC Theme (but plenty of clips with NC II). Or do we have something from that era after all?

There might be some material of it from 1983-84. That's the NewsCenter 10 we're missing. The progression goes like this.

 

KOOL Theme 1980-82

??? (TV10 News era) October 1982-January 1983

??? (NewsCenter 10 Mk I) January 3, 1983-85??

Best Endeavours 1985-86/87

NewsCenter II 1986/87-April 1989

"The Vision"-era themes

 

Best Endeavours could have been introduced when Close left the 10pm show in 1984. We're also generally missing the 6:00 show, which was bannered Arizona Evening News in the years prior to The Vision.

And the close to the public news program "Prairie News Journal" from 1993.

 

 

This is a particularly cool clip for me...the music for the close is "The Dream Is Always The Same" by Tangerine Dream, from the soundtrack to the movie Risky Business - which also has the two tracks used in the 1985 TVbD demo ("Lana" and "Love On A Real Train"). Great find!

An Arizona Republic high school sports show from the late 90s that aired on KPHO? Wowza! (Can't have lasted much longer than 2000 on channel 5!)

More Vimeo, because there's great material...

 

No opens but snippets of primarily KHSL and KXTV reports from the very early 80s/late 70s. The reporter you see here, Mary Bird, apparently died covering a news story in 1982.

 

[MEDIA=vimeo]15010981[/MEDIA]

 

Director's cut of KSTU's "Fox News at Nine" with Nick Clooney from December 14, 1992. This is the oldest footage available of KSTU's news operation in its first year!

WDAF's Fox 4 News at 6 from 1997. Six people have died in a Kansas City house fire and Phil Witt is at the fire station:

So who replaced him then? Chapin? If so that would be really cool if I could see an open from that time period, would bring back childhood memories. My parents always watched News 10’s noon news at the time.

 

That KFSN open is clearly a knockoff of KABC’s at the time, as was their previous open (which copied KABC’s early ‘87 ID and WABC’s open from ‘87 to ‘94.)

However KFSN used MCTYW using the same visuals as WKBW from a 1976 Newscast

 

Ditto for WTVD using the same as KFSN

 

And WKBW using the Same as KFSN and WTVD, period.

The latest gems from Daniel Cole include the full "We Know What Matters" image song from WEEK in 1988:

I found this **Gem** of a promo for WTSP from the mid '80s on this bizarre YT channel. (Don't watch the rest of the video!). This is a high budget promo with an "actor"(?) telling us why "Action News" is the "New Leader"

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=0dWO2YfjFwc;m=7;s=2

 

Yeah, I know that channel. The user's sister was killed in the Atlanta child murders of the 80's, which is probably why his videos, and his mind, are messed up.

For the Tampa Bay folks, here is a piece of nostalgia from 1974! Part of WTVT's tribute to "Salty Sol" Fleischman, the station's sports director, who retired in '74. Andy Hardy on the left, Salty Sol on the right and Dick Crippen, then of Ch. 10 WLCY in the back right.

It occurs to me that *all* future PR material is going to be exceedingly difficult to find...

 

You never know, we're still finding old New Orleans TV footage long after Katrina....

In this case, the entire island was devastated. There's likely good quantities of it in Florida (PR expats) though.
