It was owned by Scripps. Same “5” and open style as WEWS. Their own sister on the same channel (WMC) used an old-style “5”.

Rare glimpses at the pre-1986 KTVK set at the 4:47 mark and the very last frame of the clip.

 

And at the 6:36 mark: a newly discovered KTSP theme?

In memory and in tribute to the late Jane Gardner. RIP and Godspeed.

From the TVNT Discord classic files we go all the way back to the very last stages of Channel 4 under the callsign KTVY during the Spring of 1990 this is actually in the form of the directors track. (h/t @Weeters)

And then there was this one we were discussing about in Discord. A retrospective of his entire career in broadcasting as Director. He did leave KTVY/KFOR for OETA I believe around late 1992/early 1993 where he produced and directed some of the specials (including the Centennial anniversary of Oklahoma becoming a state in 2007) as seen here

And the billing is a huge part of it, IMO:

 

"From the Eastern Shore to the Outer Banks, and all of Hampton Roads... Jane Gardner, Gene Kapp, Dr. Duane Harding with Doppler weather, and Bob Rathbun on sports. This is WTKR-TV's News 3 at 11."

Finally found some more WNCT from the last "NewsCenter 9" era... the station had recently been purchased by Media General at this point. No newscast, but here's a promo with Allan Hoffman:
