Samantha 2895 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) The Toyota Camry ad in there is voiced by Chris Clausen! A bit curious, and I note some of the video in here is violent (in fact, KGMB anchor Dave Carlin justifies their decision to show it in the first clip!). Honolulu TV stations cover a circus accident involving an elephant in 1994.

WWUpdate 1291 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 On 4/2/2014 at 12:43 AM, WWUpdate said: I've always felt that the "China Syndrome" (1979) was very accurate in its portrayal of local TV news. For example, take a look at the opening scene from the movie -- not too many movies have captured the stressful (and decidedly unglamorous) behind-the-scenes atmosphere of a control room this realistically: By the way, the "KXLA" anchor in the above clip was played by real-life anchor Stan Bohrman. Here's an interesting KPIX feature about Bohrman from a year ago: 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/326/#findComment-234074 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was a syndicated pack. It seems to have come from Dallas-based Electronic Graphics and Design (EGAD) who were a quite influential firm on which we don't have a lot of info. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/326/#findComment-234157 Share on other sites More sharing options...
