Samantha 2895 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 The channel with the WTOK clips had this and they can't identify where it came from. No other Meridian station would have had a newscast at this time? 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/202/#findComment-190690 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2895 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 The KJCT clip has the KXLY 1983 theme for the headline bed/promo and the KLTV 1985 theme for the actual second of open. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/202/#findComment-190691 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2895 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Wow, did not know they had news in the 80s (Wikipedia sure doesn't). They had a news director in 1988, though, so they must have had news at some point before the station imploded at the start of the 90s and went dark. Channel 30 was still WLBM, a semi-satellite of WLBT, so they probably had the newscast from Jackson. This sure isn't that. Edit: Here's another WTZH news segment — confirming it's them! (Ignore the video description) It's tagged "Action Sports 24", so their news must have been called "Action News". (It does seem like this was the title for their news operation at the time) 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/202/#findComment-190697 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWUpdate 1292 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 And now for something really obscure... KPHO's carpet-on-the-wall set as seen in the Coen brothers' Raising Arizona (1987). The man playing the anchor -- I believe he makes a few more appearances in the movie -- was the station's real-life film critic, the late Bill Rocz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=l6nmESN_3LU;t=49 I believe the set was gone by the time the movie premiered, right? 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/202/#findComment-190704 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy even after all the years of stain master and scotch gaurd protection that set just makes me want to sleep on it.

onthesea 292 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 A very interesting report from Jana Wendt (then with 60 Minutes) describing the anger of Melbourne viewers when HSV7 was bought by Fairfax in 1987 and Mal Walden was sacked. He later joined ATV10 and retired from that station in 2013. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/202/#findComment-190754 Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnoxvilleTVFan 286 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 We take you back to 1980 and a rare look at WSAV as an NBC station during this period. A news brief can be seen at 5:19 and an ID at 8:43 featuring an unknown news theme WSAV may have used during this period. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/202/#findComment-190939 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 After many years of searching and waiting, finally a mid-80's KHJ 9 O'Clock News open. Pretty slick and somewhat similar to WOR-TV's from the time. This one's from April, 1984 as evidenced by the top story. Shortly before I came along. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bL_IB5Uc9Hc Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/202/#findComment-190943 Share on other sites More sharing options...
