Here is a partial WCMH noon newscast from 1998.

 

 

What happened to Clark Powell? I know he became a station correspondent for NBC News after NBC bought WCMH, but is he still in television? And his co-anchor... Holly Hollingsworth. She was one of the first employees let go post-sale.

Hmmm... Paul Anthony, very odd and stock-looking graphics and cheap electronic-y music? Riveting.

Yeah, sort of.

Who is Paul Anthony?

WCVB's 6pm newscast from November 2003, anchored by Natalie Jacobson.

[Info Junkie 1286]

Yeah, sort of.

Who is Paul Anthony?

If you live in Washington D.C. you’ll immediately recognize him. He did weather at WUSA back in the 80s as well as being the main spokesperson and host for WETA programs.

 

Here’s a WNYT report on the “Albany River Rats” in 2007. Fun fact: I visited one of their games in 2009, a year before the team left Albany.

A new clip from WMAQ's Newsfive era (rare!), 1974; go to the 18:00 mark for the close:

 

[24994J 5629]

A complete episode of the partially-retooled 20/20 from August, 1979. Hugh Downs is host, but the set, theme and graphics are held over from the craptacular original concept. That open is amazing, and I love the theme song. A few 10pm promos for WLS are sprinkled in, as well.

Love Natalie Jacobson. She was truly one of a kind.

That's the WNAC Late 60s theme.

[SoFloTVClassics 1005]

A couple of florida clips for you.

 

 

[Info Junkie 1286]

You thought that WNYT clip on the River Rats was nostalgic? This clip from 20 years ago is beyond amazing (plus a young Rodger Wyland!!!!)

[WWUpdate 1292]

WNBC, New York; 6 p.m., 2001:

 

[hmaxhanson 650]

It's in B&W (it came from the Vandy archives), but nonetheless, here is a great edition of NBC Nightly News from February 22, 1979, which features a young Chris Wallace (with a moustache!) on the HOR begining televised sessions, and a final story on the election of future MST3K producer Jim Mallon to the Uniersity of Wisconsin student government!

Anytime i find a 90's open of the KTLA Morning News...

 

I'm required to post it here. And how it brings back so many wonderful memories of my childhood watching this before school..

 

The Music.. The Open.. Carlos, Barbara... Its everything about growing up in SoCal in the 90's.

Claire Chazal, a longtime presenter of TF1's weekend newscasts, had a stint with rival France 2 (then Antenne 2) on the late 1980s. Here you'll see her anchoring a morning update during Télématin.
