sfomspphl 490 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 KGO January 28, 1986 - Challenger coverage newscast with Van Amburg. He's one of a kind, great anchor, though takes a little liberty with speculation at times here trying to take on a complex national story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=6gwnt3cBhRo;t=487 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/236/#findComment-200195 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWUpdate 1292 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Some Phoenix news clips (but no opens) from 1982 -- all of them about radio station KZZP: EDIT: Well, the video got removed, so I'll take advantage of this break in our regularly scheduled programming to share a a few of my favorite non-news opens. WQED, Pittsburgh; The Infinite Voyage (a science documentary series), 1989: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=E8DOV2VLTzs;m=1;s=57 Yorkshire Television, UK; Whicker's World (a current affairs travelogue), 1980 -- with a truly unforgettable final shot: And from 1987, Our World, a short-lived ABC News series that looked back at important periods in recent American history: 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/236/#findComment-200206 Share on other sites More sharing options...

onthesea 292 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Bizarre promo for Canal 13's news service from 1993, which shows a homeless man sleeping in an alley covered with paper sheets while being ignored by a TV news van. The promo begins at 0:39 and ends at 1:30. I hope this commercial didn't affect the credibility of the station, which was #1 in news back then. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/236/#findComment-200327 Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmaxhanson 650 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Actually the VO was Mike Lewis. Mike was in the open. John B. Wells does the Lincoln-Mercury commercial before. As long as Tegna owns this website now, it seems right that I should post classic clips from one of it's stations: A nightime version of their 1979 open, this would have have to been no earlier than 1982, as this was after they moved to their current studios: From September 1983, the first generation of "Clearly The One/The One For You": An updated open from April 1985, this was after they bought a chopper: 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/236/#findComment-200337 Share on other sites More sharing options...

vacubsfan 0 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 In honor of the NCAA national championship game tonight, here's the highlight video that aired on CBS after NC State won the 1983 title on a last-second dunk. Accompanying the montage is the Christopher Cross hit "All Right". It would be another four years before "One Shining Moment" would debut. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/236/#findComment-200413 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfomspphl 490 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Also in that same video... Promo for Channel 7 News (while the newscasts were still using 'News Scene' branding). Guess the changeover happened shortly thereafter.

Samantha 2895 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 This is some sort of KGTV 1989 news special called "One Night in San Diego". There's some other stuff in the video too. And some of KFMB's 11:00 "News Eight" from October 1989. Rain is adding to the misery of the Loma Prieta earthquake.
