That WTSP video has already been posted, but it is good.

 

Nashvilletv.org is back with all of their videos, as they have updated a few times.

 

Don't steal any of their videos, or their site wil go bye-bye.

 

Here is the page for WTVF:

Denver stuff from the 90s-2000: http://www.youtube.com/user/csreedabc

 

I liked the video about the big switch in Denver, which was the same thing that happened in Baltimore in 1995.

*WMAR-2 switched from NBC to ABC

*WBAL-11 switched from CBS to NBC

*WJZ-13 switched from ABC to CBS

1994 - KNBC's coverage of the Northridge earthquake (I'd like to know, what theme is being used?)

 

Channel 4 News, the tabloid years? This open, to me, seems similar to the KCBS "Action News" open from the same era.

[nbc9houston 22]

Channel 4 News, the tabloid years? This open, to me, seems similar to the KCBS "Action News" open from the same era.

 

That music in the Channel 4 News tabloid era (if I'm not mistaken) was used from summer of 1992 (around the time Paul Moyer returned to KNBC) till summer of 1994 when they begin using Michael Boyd's KNBC News music.

Before the Northridge earthquake in 1994, a different 'quake trembled Loma Prieta (10 miles NE from Santa Cruz and not too far from San Fran) in 1989. Here's part 1 of KTVU's coverage of the 1989 earthquake:
