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. https://adage.com/article/agency-news/a-back-hal-riney-contrarian/303207/ Ah, "Morning in America"! I *knew* that voice sounded familiar.

onthesea 292 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 The intro of the very first edition of Nightline after the retirement of Ted Koppel (November 28, 2005), when Terry Moran, Cynthia McFadden and Martin Bashir took over as hosts of the program. Strange to see the opener in 16:9. Anyone knows when the program started to be broadcast in this format before switching to HD? 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/303/#findComment-223059 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those anchors turn too fast!!!!!!! Also Rebecca Kolls - known as Rebecca Reheis when she worked at KTVX. And I’m guessing this design was a One80 job.

TVIntheDesert 183 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) This is marked as a "Circle K commercial" (which is what it is), but at the :30 mark, there is a KTVK teaser from 1985 ("Eyewitness News" era) featuring weekend anchors (at the time) Frank Camacho and Heidi Foglesong.

Info Junkie 1286 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I’ve updated the WTSP compilation since I’ve been watching WTSP clips on YT lately - yesterday I was humming The Hour and Great News in class! @8Viewer On side note, I believe ‘TSP re-composed the Hour around 1990/91 to use the classic Gari 1990s synthesizer music. Wish we had a clean cut if so. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/303/#findComment-223440 Share on other sites More sharing options...
