newsteam13 394 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 An awesome discovery that KOA-TV Denver (now KCNC) has used Move Closer to Your World. Yep, that long-running Philadelphia news theme has invaded the Mile High City back in the 70s. Now, if only we could find proof of Channel 4 Denver using MCTYW in action.

KnoxvilleTVFan 286 Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 (edited) I also noticed on the News Music Search Archive that KOLD-TV 13 in Tucson, AZ used TM's classic "Spirit" music package back in 1987. However, I looked on YouTube and could not find a video using the theme. A newscast, news open or anything would be good. Also, I came across some rare newsbreaks anchored by J.D. Miles over former CBS affiliate KLMG in Longview/Tyler, TX who was a news anchor for the station. The KLMG newsbreaks can be found below. Not only did J.D. Miles work at KLMG, he also worked as an anchor for WJHL in Johnson City, Tennessee. You can watch the WJHL clips below. Not only did J.D. Miles anchor the news, there were even some outtakes and promos too. See those below. And Steve Pickett worked as a reporter for KFSN-TV in Fresno, CA back in the late 1980s. Check out his reel below. Edited October 11, 2022 by KnoxvilleTVFan I found some rare video clips of former KLMG/WJHL anchor JD Miles and former KFSN reporter Steve Pickett. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/424/#findComment-278950 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like Charlie Van Dyke's billing on the first clip using that music (a 1989 early edition opening): "And now, Charlotte's first news...with Jesse Johnson....Tom Miller....Dr. Joe Conway with outdoor weather...and Jim Celania on sports.

I'd heard that J.D. had been at KLMG but I figured he had to have been a reporter, not an anchor. These clips must have been from later in their CBS timeframe, as one clip talks about the 1990 TX governor's race. Also, none of the other on-air folks in the clips were there prior to KLMG cutting their news department and newscasts twice due to financial troubles. WTG KnoxvilleTVFan. You ran across some incredibly rare content.

10Viewer 334 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 From 1988, rare clip of sportscaster Steve Talbot at WTSP. He was only with the station about 14 months and was replaced by Al Keck.

Was in Bako at KERO as News and Sports Director in late 70’s into 1980. Returned to Bako and KGET.

WAVY 10 Fan 233 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Ran across this yesterday. It's an August 1984 WISN newscast from before the transition from Action News to 12 News took place (and just before the synthesizer version of the ABC World News Tonight theme gave way to Jim Kirk's WWL News theme) 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/424/#findComment-279384 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MediaZone4K 2172 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 (edited) Excellent work from the team at World News Tonight (9/18/01). Calm and lightly sensational reporting in the immediate aftermath of the worst terror attack in US history. Compare this to the overblown hype and constant blaring, breaking news graphics that would be applied to something as light as as committee hearing on today's evening news. KFMB, CBS 8 San Diego (April 1967). You'd be hard-pressed to find a mid to late 60s newscast wether local or national that didn't mention Vietnam at least once.
