Samantha 2895 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Inside KVUE in the mid-80s. The footage seems to come from May 1985: Listen at the end for a close from the same period. This is one of the earliest uses of this package. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/193/#findComment-189029 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Info Junkie 1286 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Inside KVUE in the mid-80s. The footage seems to come from May 1985: Listen at the end for a close from the same period. This is one of the earliest uses of this package. It’s possible that maybe KVUE commissioned this theme and not WNDU or WKRC... just a thought. Here’s an open from four years prior... pretty bland and basic.

Jess 1115 Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 Went down the rabbit hole a few days ago looking for classic Philly clips and found this gem: Action News Issues and Answers. That was one of their two Sunday morning interview shows (the other one being Inside Story, which lasts to this day). I mainly bring it up because of the close. I LOVE that rambling piano cut from MCTYW they use here.

Samantha 2895 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Are you sure that's May 14? There's a mention that "spring break starts tomorrow" for ASU in that KNXV newscast, and there's other March mentions. It seems to be March, not May. Also, the GMC commercial at 13:09 features Mystery Male Voiceover! I've never heard his voice on an actual commercial. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/193/#findComment-189190 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Info Junkie 1286 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I showed that commercial to my mom and she says she recognizes that male voiceover. I wonder... I doubt it, but maybe one of the Albany stations used him? I know WRGB had Charlie Van Dyke, WNYT always used Ed Hopkins, and WTEN had Dude Walker, and then that other unidentified WTVO voiceover guy... I wonder how you can identify voiceovers... Anyway I know I posted this before, but has anyone found out that WTVC used “Tuesday3”?

Samantha 2895 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Those were controversial at the time for showing the KTVK sports personalities chumming it up with ASU coaches.
