I love that WDAM clip, from the gentle ID to the weather wall to the theme music, it is a time in TV that's long lost.

WKYH, Hazard, KY (1985)

One of the cheapest local productions you will ever see.

 

 

WAAY Huntsville (1992)

Part of a newscast.

This clip is of Ara Parseghian with Brent Musburger on a program called "The NCAA Today" from 1982; apparently, as far as content and format were concerned, this was the precursor to "The Prudential College Football Report" that Jim Nantz would present starting in 1985 (if I'm not incorrect, the "College Football Report" gave Jim Nantz his start at CBS Sports, according to Nantz's recent book).

CMSLoan2002's Youtube page has lots of news opens and some montages.

 

Check it out if you have the chance, his page is impressive when it comes to news opens and clips.

What's even more impressive is that a lot of his clips are "clean".

This guy has some amazing news opens!! Love the classic Oklahoma City clips and the 'nightcast' clips from KTSP and KABC.

I saw that opening, and several others from the page of which it is a part (wpdehistory), and while the aforementioned opening was good, one of the best (at least in my opinion) was the 1990 opening of "Action News 15." Not only was the opening music top-notch, but the opening announcement (by, I believe, Charlie Van Dyke) was short and sweet-- no beating around the bush: "Now...from the eastern Carolinas' live news leader...this is WPDE's Action News 15." The opening seemed to reflect the station ID jingle, "Action News Is Everywhere," with visuals that showed WPDE's news team all around the area putting a newscast together, reporting from different places in the area, etc.

 

Here's the clip:
