Info Junkie 1286 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Some opens from KFMB: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2A415bIIRA Some of my ID compilations got reported by YouTube for being “repetitive content,” which I don’t believe in doing in the first place. If anything this could be the work of some internet troll subscribed to my channel. Anyways I’ll be uploading news open compilations on my temporary account until I’m allowed to upload on my actual one again. 4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/256/#findComment-206135 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrabbleship 429 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Some WNYT coverage of the 2002 Olympics - plus a promo for its weather team of four meteorologists, and a glimpse at Kelly Lynch doing the weekend news in her second of three stints there. Fun fact: I listen to her and Chuck Custer every morning! OAD: 2/16/2002, confirmed by the Albany @ Boston University basketball score. It's interesting to see how whole hog WNYT's graphics went for the 2002 Olympics. I know none of their packages since have gone into full Olympics mode for the entire Olympics. Their 2012-18 package did have special L3's solely for Olympics-relevant stories but had the regular L3's otherwise. Also, the stilted way that they had to plug Rodger Wyland's radio show on WOFX to not mention the Fox Sports branding it carried on-air was always laughable.

Samantha 2895 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 This WRC 11pm show from February 12, 1991 features a different cut of their theme at the time. Sounds like they wanted a harder sound for the Gulf War: What would be super-rare from this period was the 7:30 WRC produced for WFTY that ran only 10 months. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/256/#findComment-206141 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would claim a victory over WTVT in 1989. The team of Bob & Gayle proved to be very successful. The news director who paired them was also WTSP's news director in the Don Harrison era (hence the voiceover by Harrison at WXFL). 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/256/#findComment-206361 Share on other sites More sharing options...
