The second one is a specific service mark for the National Captioning Institute. It must be the case that NCI did not caption Cosby but captioned Family Ties (I found a 1986 newspaper article mentioning they captioned the latter). 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/409/#findComment-269677 Share on other sites More sharing options...

VHSgoodiesWA 303 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 New Beta finds! KSTW Ten O'Clock News open, 1/17/88 with Rod Simons And a KIRO Eyewitness News open from 10/15/1984, which includes the KIRO 'NewsJet', a younger Susan Hutchison, John Marler, and highlights of the Spellman-Gardner gubernatorial debate. NOTE FOR H-TOWN...I just recently got another small lot of Betamax tapes, they came from Kansas but the TV footage seems to be from the Houston area. Some great KHOU newscasts to share soon from the late 1980s. Maybe more, as I have several left to inventory. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/409/#findComment-269680 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseyfla 207 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) From the Big Guava! Former WFLA director Mark Antinori posted his first video in 8 years. The last one was our first view of the 1981 The Look...Alive Gapped 8 logo in action. These are promo spots for the launch of then-new hourlong 5pm newscast Live at Five with a misspelling in the promos (can you find it?) and some promos for their 11pm newscasts. All the promos were mixed between Fall 1988 when they were the “awkward" WXFL call letters and the New Year's Day 1989 call letter reversion back to WFLA-TV.

Route66Fan 77 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 (edited) A commercial break from then WB affiliate WBFX-TV (Now CW affilate WCWG-TV.), in Lexington/Winston-Salem/Greensboro & High Point, NC, from August 10, 2000, just 18 days before they changed their callsign to WTWB-TV. At the time, they were owned by Pappas Telecasting (Now owned by Hearst & a sister station to WXII-TV.) & had cheap, primitive graphics.

VHSgoodiesWA 303 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 A new find direct from Beta - about 5 minutes of ABC World News Sunday taped 9/14/1997 with Carole Simpson. Wonder how long ABC used this graphics package as I don't recognize it. And some re-uploads from pre-YT termination... KOMO News 4 at 11 4/17/95, where only one person at the anchor desk (Steve Pool) is still alive today. Kathi, Eric, and Bruce are all up in the skies now. And CNN NewsNight from 1/4/89 - Patrick Emory and Donna Kelley anchoring. Other CNN shows from that night have been reposted, including Crossfire and Moneyline. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/409/#findComment-269894 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MediaZone4K 2172 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 WCBS short lived 2 News era (1997). The station was going downhill at the time, the news theme wasnt all that, but the graphics package was great. Wish the graphics and logo had remained longer.
