PBC5NewsUnova 65 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 KUVN once again, same open as the first one I shared, but it ends with a shot of the then newly opened Univision Tower in Dallas.

bhratbrat 437 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Charlie Van Dyke was phased out in mid-2007. The exact date for this would be September 6, 2006 judging by the top story being the "first day of school" (two days after Labor Day in New York). This would be the day after they expanded the 6:00 back to an hour in fact. Image wise, the rough period of 1998-2008 were a great time for WRGB with four good theme/graphic combos going from InSink to the first version of Impact. That package getting destroyed by going HD hurt it a ton and the package that replaced it was so bad the Sinclair package was an improvement. If I recall right, I remember here on the forums right around the period that News in Focus was on WRGB that one of there creative staffers were looking for advice about keeping News in Focus and switching to the WBBM package and other ideas at the time. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/219/#findComment-195449 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2895 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 You sure that's 1998? Wowza! Those graphics had to have been in use for years.

KnoxvilleTVFan 286 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Get ready for "Dateline 6". "Dateline 6" was WABG's newscast title in 1978. I say this, because we feature a rare look at WABG's news operation back in 1978. Courtesy of former WABG anchor Calvin Dean, here is a clip of a WABG newscast from 1978 with a clip of their news intro. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/219/#findComment-195526 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProduceGuy 31 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I had no idea KTRK ever looked so flashy, especially in the Live at Five clip. The cold opens certainly resemble a watered-down WSVN. Of course, this is during the time KPRC ripped off WSVN’s look. How long did KTRK use the newsroom as a studio? Was it only for Live at Five? 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/219/#findComment-195555 Share on other sites More sharing options...

onthesea 292 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 From Uruguay: Monte Carlo TV (channel 4 in Montevideo) closing of the midday news + station ID from Monday, July 31, 2000. This station used to finish its newscasts with the openers (something very strange) and a few sponsors. A minor note: some of the scenes seen there look like being shot in both video and film.

However, you can see him in this newsbreak from after the call letter change.
