"Siempre Presente", a slogan used by WXTV from the late 1990s to early 2000s. Also used by other Univision stations at the time.

First post in this thread since I was able to get back on here. Got a pair of short WVEC clips from '88

First, WVEC announces they are now broadcasting in stereo

Also, a brief WVEC plug for Oprah

And, I notice a longtime WCYB personality in the clip - Paul "PJ" Johnson. He is currently news anchor at WCYB in Bristol, but used to do sports at the station for a long time. When I saw that, I decided to share this one. Thanks for sharing, Info Junkie!!

It also includes WDIV and if WXYZ had Bill Bonds, WDIV had Mort Crim.

Not really a news program, but some PBS nostalgia nonetheless:

While BigOPlaBax has a Jerry Fannin news tease from the early 1980s, bmboldt from YouTube has most of a KETV weekend newscast from 1983...with *NEWS INTRO*. I have to share this, because this is a surprise find. Not only is it a surprise find, but it also has the opening theme we have not heard before.

Go to 3:57:57 to see the news open; you're going to love this one, because of the theme.

Probably the quickest I ever hit the sub button.

 ID Junkie has found a great station to bring forth.

 

I have to admit, the uniqueness of the talent that has gone in at KVOA is just crazy with a former Vegas anchor now at nights and former WWE announcer and color commentator (and now Podcast host) Sean Mooney in the mornings. Very different.

Did you see the open at 2:10:47 with "All the News"/KSNW 1985?

So THAT’s the theme!!!!

Also worth noting, a young Jim Morgan (when’s the NMSA gonna identify him?) on the VO.

Also KOLD’s gonna be tough for a compilation.

Always wondered what that building looked like inside. Back in the '80s it had a giant Proud "N" on the front when they were with NBC.

And left a large part of their history inside that building, you can see. Old tapes are still there!

Maybe they had transferred some of that already to another format? IDK-some stations clearly don't care. A shame to say the least.

We don't even have a high-quality version of KOLD's early 90s logo. It didn't appear until either last year or this year. The earliest full open we have is from 1999.

Apparently the building was demolished only a few weeks after they filmed that: the tapes are apparently gone.
