I was going to bring that up, but didn't get around to it. I've heard that compilation before, and I honestly believe that theme has to be misattributed on NMSA. The theme cut there sounds quintessentially Tuesday. Not sure where the claim that it was Peters originated (perhaps it was on the old Pipeline news themes site in the early 2000s, and got passed around from there, but I'd have to go on Wayback Machine to be sure). Now that we've had a lot more package IDs from both Tuesday and Peters over the years, I'm thinking it is Tuesday. I can't imagine that one lone Peters thing somehow mistakenly wound up in this compilation of stuff that is definitely known to be Tuesday.

To also bring up the Tuesday/Peters fiasco, is the Tuesday 9 Theme for NBC affiliates.

curiositykilledthebattery 5 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Vintage CBS Evening News and WBBM newscast from 1986. CBS Evening News anchored by Forrest Sawyer. Most of the time slot of the newscast was taken up by The Masters. WBBM newscast with Robin Robinson, Brian Rooney, Susan Wallace, John Coughlin, and Howard Sudberry. This is a personal rip from a tape I found at a yard sale this past weekend. 5 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/360/#findComment-247985 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAVY 10 Fan 233 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Mostly a generic commercial compilation from a July 1987 airing of an adaptation of "Anna Karenina"; but a rarity around the 6:30 mark with a CBS News promo using the theme that would, that November, become the CBS Evening News theme for Dan Rather from 1987-91 and again for Scott Pelley for all but the last year of his tenure at the anchor desk. 4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/360/#findComment-248021 Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewsStar2 90 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 As I'd "threatened" in the non-news Classic Video thread, I've been in the process of pulling clips from tapes in the past few days and will continue to do so for the near term. Not a ton of news-related content to date, but I do have a couple of things to share from KTRK. The tease and intro to Live at Five, circa November 1989 at the tail end of the Bob Boudreaux-anchored era. He moved to weekends several months after this was recorded. The open had been updated several months prior to include Joe Diaz while Ed Brandon was in rehab, and this was an exceptionally brief period where the closed-captioning logo appeared before the station ID in the open. And just about a year prior (October 1988) there's this... A group of elementary school students, primarily from East and Southeast Houston, form the Challenger Children's Choir and sing the revamped Frank Gari image campaign that aired on the station at the time - "Houston's Coming Back". My previous channel had a :30 version featuring the anchors, and I had seen another 1:00 version uploaded in the past (perhaps by @compubit?) featuring clips from the Space Shuttle Discovery "Return to Flight" launch that occurred in September 1988. I've found the original version on one of my tapes from early that month that tends to fit the lyrics better and will post it when I get a chance. 4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/360/#findComment-248114 Share on other sites More sharing options...
