KDBC in December 1992, with the squares graphics and a LONG CLOSE from the KCBS-WNEV-WVTM-KDBC theme!

 

 

EDIT: Here's *another* KDBC newscast from later in the month — 15 minute newscast and part of their Sunday sports show.

Here’s a 2001 WBAY news report, posting this as it’s strange how rare anything this station has between 1995 to 2007. Judging by the L3’s, they must’ve been using the KMGH Giant Octopus package earlier than we thought.

WMC, Memphis; new set promo, mid-1980s:

Here's a KSDK update from before they moved into their current studios:

And a KOMU update from just 2 days later. This sounds like an identifiable theme, or maybe not:

An interesting KOMU news update from 1982. How about a KOMU news open from a few years before? We have it.

 

[Samantha 2902]

The KOMU 1982 update is from a theme the NMSA lists as "You've Got a Friend Mid-Missouri". The 1979 theme is super cool and trippy!

Vintage KEYC T.V. Mankato Collection.

 

[Samantha 2902]

Somehow I've never seen this KEYC close from 1983. Dig the "12" logo with the shape of Minnesota in the negative space!

WHEC in 1994

KDUH (no pun intended) territory news, i think it's either the satellite or sister station to KOTA Territory news.

Some news promos from WHBQ in 1990 around the time it changed owners after RKO was forced to dissolve.

Is that Charlie Van Dyke? Sounds like him.

 

And you won’t BELIEVE what KTVX was using in the late 1970s-early 1980s (you can see it at 4:01 in the video on this link):

This’ll stump Raymie that’s for sure.

That's two new pieces of music for KTVX. One is Take a Look, and then...there's Bellavia (which is maybe just background music for that promo thingy). If not that, it's the early-mid 70s theme which could very well have been used when the station was still KCPX-TV.

 

EDIT: I think the Take a Look open is from 1980 or earlier. KTVX did not have a 6:00 show in 1981.
