Some Wichita news clips from 1994! No opens, but the rarity of these eras for KAKE and KSNW is worth watching. The very end of this clip is interesting too - KSNW still has its TvbD era logo but apparently has begun using “Newswire” around that time.

Nice to hear additional cuts of the KAKE 1993 theme...

 

Speaking of mid-90s KAKE...

 

KAKE and Chronicle’s other two Stations WOWT and KRON were all known to use 2D graphics that were way ahead of their time for the station images. KRON in the mid 90s eventually went with a TVbD package that still looks good today.

 

Still wish we had more of KAKE from the 90s, will be bumping The Wish List thread for stuff from Wichita...

It's Conneticuit News 30 from WVIT in 1997:

Very similar to WTOG's graphics from the same era. WTOG was WVIT's sister station for that brief period between the WNYT/WHEC trade to Hubbard and WVIT's sale to NBC.

A few years later, in 1998, KAKE attempted the network branding of "ABC Kansas" and deemphasized its channel number...here are some promos from that era. News remained "KAKE News".

 

I’ve heard that music in a KNBC 1992 promo before.

And before that, the KAKE stations tried a KSN/KBS style name, KTN, or the Kansas TV Network.
