Info Junkie 1286 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 KERO’s open looks weak compared to its station sisters... Also I love that clean cut of “Groove News” playing during KNSD’s News Close.

FiveNews 372 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Man! That KTTV open is CLASSIC! KTLA ruled 10pm at that point (still does to an extent), but I always tuned in for that open. Devine, Thompson and Garcia were magic together. They got even better when John Beard joined the team. I miss the old "FOX TELEVISION NEWS" newsroom studio. Their old building on Sunset Blvd was demolished many years ago (across the street from KTLA...5746 Sunset Blvd vs. 5800 Sunset Blvd), but so many memories there! It is now a high school. $20 to anyone who can find me a clean open from the 1993 Good Day LA Susan Lichtman/Antonio Mora era. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/207/#findComment-191923 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dig KCBS theme especially the close. So catchy. KTLA 1990 theme not only represents such glory of an era, but hands down ranks up there as one of the greatest themes in the market of that era, if not of all time anywhere. I don't mind KNBC's opens at that time. Short but to the point, open itself is 'catchy' with cutaways + motions. KCOP's open was ahead of its time. It was like a tv show with cult following (think of a cooler 'broadcast news' or 'network' perhaps, lack of better examples, sorry) Man if there was any other place to be born other than NYC (and i wouldn't trade that for anywhere else) it would be LA. Life there at that time (or any time) must've been fun. 5 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/207/#findComment-191926 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesapeakeTV 311 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Another fantastic montage. I had a feeling that KSBY open would use that particular TVbD look, going by KSBW...but I didn't expect Great News! (Especially not the rather odd little variation on the primary theme in the close.)

I love those KCBS opens-- the hyped up music and the ALL of Southern California mantra really works, but they ditched those intros disappointingly fast. As for KCOP, Real News was kickass, the closest to a direct American copy of Toronto's CityPulse, but thanks to nobody knowing it existed, it got neutered by May of 94. 13 really should've marketed it better, maybe done 24-Hour News Source style updates like CityPulse had (where they'd show the busy newsroom and you could hear the police scanner). And that's the clearest intro for that look yet-- I've been wondering who composed the theme for Real News, it's so badass and I'd love to have clean cuts. 4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/207/#findComment-191980 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMassMediaGeek 98 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 65 years ago today, a Station on channel 43 in York, PA signed on the air, giving the Susquehanna Valley another choice for television other than WGAL. That is WPMT (signed on as CBS affiliate WSBA-TV, a TV sister to WSBA 910 AM at the time), which is the oldest UHF Television Station that continues to operate today that never changed it channel since sign-on (The first continuously operating UHF station ever belonged to KPTV in Portland, OR, now on channel 12). Here are some promos from WPMT in 1990. 5 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/207/#findComment-192077 Share on other sites More sharing options...
