sctvhound 27 Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 WJXX opens from the day they were bought by Gannett in 2000, and started simulcasting WTLV. Kind of cheap-looking. 1
Samantha 2898 Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 WJXX opens from the day they were bought by Gannett in 2000, and started simulcasting WTLV. Kind of cheap-looking. They had to scrub out so much of WTLV's news identity for the simulcast (NBC chimes and peacock especially) and were in a transitional phase. 4
Info Junkie 1286 Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 Some WTMJ snippets pop up in this commercial break with an unidentified theme. 1
hmaxhanson 650 Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 A bit of KPDX's 10pm from January of 1999 (when KOIN still produced the newscast): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=DxoPRHolsyM;m=38;s=6
Info Junkie 1286 Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 In memory of the late John Coleman, dean of Chicago weather, and founder of The Weather Channel. 2
24994J 5621 Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 Coleman was phoning it in during his time at WMAQ. The peak level of crazy that helped revolutionize the art of TV forecasting came a decade before, down the street... 5
SoFloTVClassics 1003 Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 RIP John Coleman Thank you for making meteorology 24 hours a day a reality, say hi to john hope in heaven. 2
hmaxhanson 650 Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 What's really amazing is that John Coleman was in the business for over 60 years, here he is at WCIA in 1958: 6
Conrad 113 Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 WJXX opens from the day they were bought by Gannett in 2000, and started simulcasting WTLV. Kind of cheap-looking. I can see pixelation in the opens and a legal ID mentioning WTLV instead of WJXX, probably because it was meant to be very temporary. I also saw an Allbritton-era WJXX ID at the beginning of the video. Speaking of Gannett: Have you knew before that the 1990s version of the Deathstar was used on WKYC, KVUE (owned by Belo from 1999-2013), WTLV, and WMAZ? I still can't find a video of KXTV's Deathstar or KPNX's use of the 2000s version of the Deathstar ID (also used on KUSA and WUSA). 2
Samantha 2898 Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Time for KAMR Action News 4 in 1989. The theme is custom. A bumper, 30-second image theme "Channel 4, People Like You" and news theme are included. Is this a second KAMR Peters package?
KnoxvilleTVFan 286 Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 We take you to 1985 and a Christmas party tape from WCFT-TV in Tuscaloosa, AL. (Unknown news theme can be heard at :26 for a promo) 5
SoFloTVClassics 1003 Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 KNBC 1974 Jess Marlow Detroit public tv dedicating to WGPR with a couple of big city news snippets. 3
TheRolyPoly 2577 Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Detroit public tv dedicating to WGPR with a couple of big city news snippets. Notice something familiar with the logo of that program? Something related to north of the border?
SoFloTVClassics 1003 Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Notice something familiar with the logo of that program? Something related to north of the border? Global-ish?
TheRolyPoly 2577 Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Global-ish? Just hope that Corus ain't watching the program. 6
MarkAP 10 Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Now as for telemundo central florida? No Both Telemundo Stations in Orlando and Tampa are separated than the Univision Florida Central which recently sorta separated of their names but shares stories from Tampa and Orlando to each other’s Newscast. 3
TheOneManHerd 555 Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 WRTV 1989 promo. The music was used by KUSA around this time as an open bump. Production or network track? Hate to bring up such an old post, I have the answer. It's Chris de Burgh, believe it or not. A deep track called "Last Night". 3
KnoxvilleTVFan 286 Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 I have found a rare KQTV news open from 1990. You can see it at :32 and it features a news theme I never heard before. 1
TheOneManHerd 555 Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Time for KAMR Action News 4 in 1989. The theme is custom. A bumper, 30-second image theme "Channel 4, People Like You" and news theme are included. Is this a second KAMR Peters package? I listened to this a bunch of times; it sounds a lot like Tuesday to me. Them and Peters were both in San Diego, so there may have been some overlap in terms of the musicians they used.
hmaxhanson 650 Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Here's WFXL Fox 31 Action News from February 26, 2003, with longtime WTVY anchor Jon Williams:
Info Junkie 1286 Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 A WTEN interview from idk when (definitely pre-2005, according to research Ryan Nobles was there from 2003 to 2005). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7OQqUpodMs And Beau Weaver tells us what’s coming up next on WGN News at Nine (at least he doesn’t do this at the beginning of the newscast like KDVR!!!)
WWUpdate 1292 Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 From the United Kingdom, the open and the close from the very first edition of Channel 4 News, the in-depth 7 p.m. newscast, 1982: 1
WWUpdate 1292 Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 WLS, Chicago; 10 p.m. (excerpts, including the close), 1971 -- a rare clip from the Flynn-Daly (Eyewitness) News-branded era: 2
24994J 5621 Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 WLS, Chicago; 10 p.m. (excerpts, including the close), 1971 -- a rare clip from the Flynn-Daly (Eyewitness) News-branded era: Holy crap. Never thought I'd see the day that something pre-1976 saw the light of day. 1
