I recently found this out. KOTA's Newsline theme was also used for its "Battle of the Video Games" tournament special on KTLA four years before in 1983.

 

 

Was this syndicated?

It was. Originally aired in April of 1983, many stations aired it at various times of the years.

Another NewsActive3 upload; this is the December 4, 1970 ABC Evening News (Howard K. Smith's on vacation; leaving Frank Reynolds anchoring solo on this - the last newscast before he was pushed aside in favor of Harry Reasoner on the ABC anchor desk; not to return until the 1978 premiere of the World News Tonight format)

 

Note his surprisingly ornery farewell speech beginning at the 25:27 mark.

Oh yeah, I forgot that the late great kwvtads (why hasn't he tried a comeback?) uploaded an intro from this peroid way back when.

I'm still trying to find the Broadcast News-era open, it was in a NewsActive3 compilation a long time ago but I haven't found it since.

Ask and ye shall receive at 26:45.

 

They also (apparently) had another open possibly during 1993/94, basically with Broadcast News but with the 1994 “6”:

Loved the old apartment set - so well lit and warm - made the guests look great. One of my favorite sets of all time for news. Wasn't a fan of the new one. Just plain dark.
