WWUpdate 1291 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I've wondered about Craig myself. I was hoping that there would be a where-are-they-now article mentioning him, but I haven't been able to find it. By the way, here's a clip of Craig from 1978, when he was still at WMAQ: 4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/338/#findComment-239719 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not cool, bro. What do you use to capture 60fps? I would love to transition to this for my uploads at some point. I originally used my MiniDV camcorder and transfered it to Premiere/FCPX and set the timeline at 60 frames instead of 30 frames per second. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/338/#findComment-239746 Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a while in the '90s, WBBM and WFLD were trying "out-WSVN" each other with tabloid news values and graphics.

Watch for a brief clip of a young(er) Bernie Sanders at 24:51! WCAX did a wonderful job with their 60th anniversary special in 2014. It's one of the best station history documentaries I've ever seen.

WWUpdate 1291 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 From KTVK in Phoenix, a part of "Hands Across America" coverage from 1986 with weekend anchors Heidi Foglesong and Frank Camacho; this was just before the station's transition from Eyewitness News to NewsChannel 3. As you can see in the clip, Mary Joe West was still at KTVK, but within a few weeks, Heidi Fogelsong would replace her on weekdays and West would leave the station and commercial television news for good: Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/338/#findComment-240443 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWUpdate 1291 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) By the way, it's interesting to note that KTVK was already using the orange-and-purple-rainbow NewsChannel 3-era lower-thirds in May 1986, before the name change. As we've seen, KTVK was still using the old lower-thirds in December 1985: Edited February 10, 2020 by WWUpdate Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/338/#findComment-240480 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewsStar2 90 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) Couple from me as I continue skimming through tapes for some "new" vintage materials - stuff that wasn't posted on my previous YouTube channel. An open from a KPRC 10 PM weekend newscast from April 1991. A news update, also from KPRC, from May 1985. I have a complete newscast from the same evening that I'll upload in the near future. An observation during one of the breaks on the same tape: I'm thinking there may have been some demo work that John Christopher Burns may have done which ended up on air prior to the look they ultimately ended up using when they launched the "Channel Two News" brand/logo/set, etc. about three months later. I don't have much from this particular stretch so far, but I hadn't seen it elsewhere. At the least, it sorta feels like some of the stuff he did earlier in the decade...
