A full WYOU 11pm newscast from May 29th, 1998. This was the last newscast from Scranton before they moved to WBRE's studios in Wilkes-Barre.

 

Those L3 graphics were straight out of the 80s! And mid 80s at that.

To Long Island, NY: A promo for WLIG's (now WLNY) then-new newscast from 1985. The theme is a DeWolfe Music production track called "Newsweek" (the NMSA listed it as the "WLIG 1986 News Theme") . How did I know this, you ask? I was bored and I was just listening to some tracks from DeWolfe's site. WWBT here in Richmond, VA also used it in the early 1980s for their newscasts.

Charlie VanDyke narrates WRGB's 60th anniversary special from 1988. Sad to see that such an important station is now just another jewel in Sinclair's crown!

Here's a rare find: WLTV Noticias 23 open and top news story (1994) I originally thought that the news set and open was from 1991, but I'm wrong.
