KnoxvilleTVFan 286 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 It's good to see some rare news videos being shared on this post. Here is one that is a rarity. From 1973, here are some clips from network television as recorded from Los Angeles TV. Take note at 2:06 where the CBS Evening News is interrupted with a late news development concerning Richard Nixon. If I am not mistaken, this aired in portions of the West Coast. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/249/#findComment-204712 Share on other sites More sharing options...

onthesea 292 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Canal 13's opener of its 1pm newscast, taped in 2005. Back then the broadcast focused on "news for the people" and "news you can use", and still had an important reputation because of its consumer segments and analysis. And here's a promo for this newscast, also recorded in 2005. BONUS: the music theme used between 2004 and 2007, composed by Eddie Sierra.

RetroCirq 148 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Thank you so much for encoding/uploading in 60 FPS. It makes a huge difference! Just wanted to make sure it stays true to how it was presented back in the day. Too many channels don't take care of the videos well. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/249/#findComment-204751 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikePulse 318 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 The earliest instance of “Good evening, friends” found thus far. 1976, massive truck accident involving 7500 gallons of ammonia. It got reuploaded earlier in the month, but this case, you hear Dave teasing the “film stories” with Move Closer playing. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/249/#findComment-204780 Share on other sites More sharing options...
