A delayed "NBC 24 News at 11" from WNWO, 1998 (though I have a nagging feeling it's two years old graphically). TVbD work when FF Meta was way, way in vogue.

[WWUpdate 1292]

I'm not sure if this has been posted here before: This classic WLS promo from the 1970s spoofs the various different historic styles of anchoring the news and tells viewers what the "Eyewitness News" style is all about:

Before Jim Heath dumped his collection of old Phoenix news opens, that guy had most everything that we had from Phoenix. He has a KPHO promo on there with Scott Chapin's voiceover (in Phoenix, big voiceover names never really caught on with the exceptions of Charlie Van Dyke, Brian Lee and David Kaye – no John Young or Doc Morgan, and John B. Wells, Paul Turner, and Scott had short stints with local stations).
