I wonder if WVEC, a former Corinthian station, used that theme along with its sister stations... just an observation.

WBZ 1987 ad breaks with cool 'Eyewitness News' open:

 

I think most people who watched KTLA in the 90's felt the same way too. I didn't really care much for the newscast in the 1980's, seeing as how KABC sucked the competition dry, but Hal and Jan and later Terry and Lynette were the team to watch.

 

I agree, but it's wierd how no one has any clips from the "Flashpoint" era. I think that package is one of my all time favorites.

KNTV news open from 1986. Guessing the set lasted from 1984-87/88 or so. This was the generation prior to them adding the "San Jose NewsChannel" and "Do you know the way to san jose" music.

 

Open is identical to the 'test' opens eyeontv posted for WDVM that never aired.
