[QUOTE="Info Junkie, post: 216704, member: 3593"]Hey @T.L. Hughes i know I might have asked you before but can I update some of your compilations? I’ve been getting requests since the beginning and plenty of them were to update your existing compilations. If I do update them though I won’t be doing every one of them - like if I were doing NYC I’d probably be here all day cause you know how much NYC stuff gets uploaded. And yes @NCFLMedia, I will update WJXT if possible. Also here’s some KOTV commercials from 1985 - including a newsbreak with CNN’s Bob Losure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrpbE2Rxm0Q[/QUOTE] Tell you what, you can create your versions of the aforementioned compilations. Though I'll also do my own update of those same stations, whenever I get my laptop back. Basically, I don't mind anyone creating their own compilations, so long as no one assigns lines as to who does which station or market.

Thanks. I’m gonna start with a certain station in St. Louis....

 

Also glad to see that more of that KHOU theme, which the NMSA needs to change to 1985, not 1984. They were still using “And You” as late as February:

KNBC, Los Angeles; 11 p.m., 1974 (go to 3:57 if not taken there automatically):

This theme is listed by NMSA as a close-only theme -- but here it's used for the open.

 

Another KNBC open from this period; same theme:

Would it be KMOV or KSDK? BTW, if you're going for St. Louis, I never was able to do a compilation of KPLR because I couldn't find enough clips to create an adequate one when I made or uploaded them. Maybe you'll have better luck with that station than I did.

Interesting they slapped on some Magid red white and blue on the set after launching the 'Share the spirit' campaign. Which coincidentally CBS ran with a year later.

 

Didn't seem to help either of them!

 

Also didn't realize they used And You per Info Junkie's video - always cool to see that Telesound work in action.

KTVI. Between the time you uploaded the KTVI compilation in October 2014 to now, plenty of footage from that station has been uncovered.

 

Also I am planning on updating some of my own compilations too - I really don’t like my KPHO compilation as I missed a ton of stuff from 2014 onward. Also dma37dude has been kind enough to share some footage off of his hard drive with me, which includes more WXXA during the “News Matrix” era and plenty of WIVB.

Speaking of that, the NMSA says WBRZ’s 1983 Theme was in use at WFSB, so I thought it’d be fitting to post this on TVNT.

 

They definitely used "Land Of The 3", at least as a news package.

WLS in Chicago takes a behind-the-scenes look at...

 

...WBBM Newsradio 78 in 1979:

For several years, a WTLV newscast from 1972 has been circulating with news anchor Eric Andersen. Now, we have another WTLV newscast from that year, but with a different news anchor, Tom Sanders.

It's WENY's Eyewitness News in 1993...or is that 1980???

 

 

Also in Ithaca was the cable newscast "News Center 7", which still looks better than WENY:

 

 

And on the other side, WTVW looked almost major-market in 1990:

 

[scrabbleship 429]

WENY seems to have been on the same "older than it is" kick that then-sister station WMGM was on. At least WMGM in 1993 tried to act like the current year, even WENY's local ads looked like they were made a decade earlier

A historical compilation of news opens from TVQ-10 (originally TVQ-0) in Brisbane, Australia, since the 1970s:

 

[SoFloTVClassics 969]

John Morales Weather clips from WLTV and Univision.

 

 

[SoFloTVClassics 969]

3 KPIX clips and a KITV behind the scenes clip.

Some KTUL clips from 1986, still using the 1985 theme. Anchors featured are Carole Lambert and Richard Hull of WLWT fame, as well as of course, Charles Ely.

 

Was Hull the guy who replaced Bob Hower?? I know Steve Knight didn’t come in till ‘88, and Hower retired two years prior.

[KnoxvilleTVFan 286]

Has anyone ever heard of the sport of ultimate? It's a sport using a frisbee and three Knoxville stations featured stories about that sport in the 1980s. Here is a video containing three stories from WATE, WTVK and WBIR.
