WWUpdate 1292 Posted December 9, 2017 Posted December 9, 2017 KABC, Los Angeles; 11 p.m., 1984 -- with a wonderful cut of Frank Becker's theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=dSzsSNxeU-I;m=1;s=43 Same time, same station, early 1986: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=7zD1d9_tDg0;m=14;s=28 1
Samantha 2902 Posted December 9, 2017 Posted December 9, 2017 Can't say I've seen this TVbD open before... 2
TVLurker 241 Posted December 9, 2017 Posted December 9, 2017 Time for the Channel 10 News... Pinnacle and that graphics package were the best thing KSTP/KSAZ had in 1993. It was ahead of it's time both figuratively and literally.
Samantha 2902 Posted December 9, 2017 Posted December 9, 2017 Pinnacle and that graphics package were the best thing KSTP/KSAZ had in 1993. It was ahead of it's time both figuratively and literally. The open graphics were sort of lackluster — they were an affiliate package that a couple other stations used (KCCI, WBMG) — but the music was and remains incredible, and the in-show graphics were definitely ahead of their time. 25 years on, it still sounds amazing. The v3 Sunset 10 that they introduced with it was also very good and an improvement at small sizes over the v2 that was used in The Vision era. 4

I’m specifically looking for WNEM from the mid 90s as well as WJRT and WEYI. Some Lansing would be good, too, but just give us what you’ve got.

I’m specifically looking for WNEM from the mid 90s as well as WJRT and WEYI. Some Lansing would be good, too, but just give us what you’ve got. Not much from Mid-Michigan - my grandparents lived in Muskegon, so it was mostly Grand Rapids (barely could pick up WUHQ/WOTV from Battle Creek, and it wasn't on Muskegon cable in the 90s), plus the occasional clip picked up from WPBN or WWTV with Rabbit Ears - plus they just had cable - no external aerial. 2

Info Junkie 1286 Posted December 9, 2017 Posted December 9, 2017 WLVI still using its Field-era logo in the Deathstar ID, fyi... I’m still searching for their first opens under “The Ten O’Clock News” which was nearly two months away from premiering at that point. Would love to see it. Here’s an inside look at KOKI’s news in 2006, narrated by Sean Caldwell. 2

hmaxhanson 650 Posted December 10, 2017 Posted December 10, 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 Sorry, I posted that a few days ago, it was my most liked post on here, because clips of KHJ-TV with the arrow-9 logo are hard to find.

Ah Good To Know....I've been forever searching for KHJ News stuff from this decade. Grew up watching the Big 9 from KHJ to KCAL. 1
