KCRA-TV Be There Promo (1983) (High-Quality)

 

According to the uploader (who used to work for KCRA), this version never aired. Sad but true!

There are some true highlights of that collection, including a one-minute singing KGO weather promo! (And the KNXV and KTSP opens don't hurt either.)

I'm STILL waiting on a WTKR Ignitor open!

Can't help you there, but I've got a large batch of videos up (some old uploads, some making its debut on my channel)

 

Undated:

[Samantha 2902]

Another great batch of that news open collection that seems to never end!

 

Highlights include a two-minute dose of WFLA in its Bold Horizons era, late 1970s? KYW opens, a funny News 4 New York "Energizer Bunny" promo from circa 1990, a funny 5pm WANE-TV news promo, and a certain Philly promo that speaks for itself. My personal favorite is another KWCH Eyewitness News open (from circa 1993 or 1994?).

(get a load of that news desk)

 

There's more, but those are the only complete opens.

[10Viewer 338]

The really like the KCRA 1975 news open. So simple, yet so effective!

[10Viewer 338]

Speaking of KOVR, they must have also used the "X Belongs" package by Peters Productions, as I notice their slogan in 1979 was "13 Belongs".

Pair of halftime reports from "The NFL Today" in 1989, Week 2 (one early, one late)

[Samantha 2902]

NewsActive3 keeps chugging along. Highlights of this collection include a WYFF John Christopher Burns-era open; an old WCBS open; and KNXV from 2000 (a surprisingly elusive catch).

If you get tired of hearing "And I'm Morris Jones" by the end of this thing, I do not blame you.

I hate it when it's near-current opens or Canadian ones (no offense).

[Samantha 2902]

Then you should be pretty happy with this latest batch he whipped up. Most notably, amidst all the opens, a short WTKR Ignitor open (has the apocalypse occurred yet?....no?!)

Boston TV News and Commercials from 1982

(mostly WCVB, WBZ and WNEV)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dbfqq0i_XK4

[AdamTheJ 90]

I love those Boston vids. It was even nicer to see WBZ's 1982 Evening Magazie open. I wish someone had a clip from 1982 of WBZ promoting the Richard Dawson version of Family Feud.

 

The Feud originally aired on WNAC (now WHDH) from 1976-1982. Soon after the big three played musical chairs with it. WBZ from 82-83 and WCVB from 83-84. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Boston dropped the Feud completely in the 1984-85 season. Did they?
