Aha! I knew you'd take my bait @Info Junkie! But next time, please give the original uploader credit!

 

Here from the same source tape is the sign-on of WHO-TV, and the promo appears again at 8:19.

A KTRK open from 3/2/89 with a certain meteorologist missing in the open....

 

And back to that meteorologist. Here's the news segment on his sudden resignation.

That is how you broach the topic on your own air. Exemplary work in remaining impartial and covering a news story about your own station.

A 1989 promo for WLS's 10 p.m. news:

 

Here's related source material for that clip. The station's promotions department posted some portions of their 1989 sales presentation. The first one here is for news, the second featuring their 6-10am morning schedule- World News This Morning, Eyewitness News This Morning, Good Morning America, and The Oprah Winfrey Show.

I don't think we've seen this particular 1980 promo from WBBM's legendary "Nobody Does It Better" campaign:

Rare promo from WTSP's "NewsCenter 10" era. Would love to find more!

 

After I posted, I found this gem Dec. 1991 with a "NewsCenter 10" intro:

How did we miss this?!

 

Also NewsActive3’s latest video has lots of WHP and WPTM goodies - including their Third Coast open and a 2001 open! @susquvalleywgal

I reposted the Third Coast open for my pleasure:

 

 

I loved when WHP CBS21 had the THIRD COAST theme.  I wish they would’ve kept it.  One of those good news themes where you can’t help yourself humming to it from time to time.

A KWCH retrospective on Roger Cornish - includes a look at the 1983 call letter change and a news open (covered up a bit by dialogue) at 5:47!

 

Sticking to the area, a look at KAKE News from 1994!

Do we know what Joel Daly was doing at KABC in 1972? Was it some sort of an exchange?

 

 

 

Maybe a tryout, but since nothing came of it, he was just filling in. That was a thing back then, like local anchors going to New York to anchor the network weekend news.

Hal Riney did the voiceovers for these spots. He was also a legendary advertising executive who was best known for creating President Reagan's 1984 "It's Morning Again In America" ad, which helped catapult Reagan to a second term in office. Riney also produced/voiced ads for Ernest and Julio Gallo Wines and Saturn, among many others.

News reports (with opens) on the opening of Fort Worth Alliance Airport in 1989. The audio is missing from the back half and the audio deteriorates a good bit, too, but there's one open from each station:
