...and elements from the 1992 clip

Newsmat set, graphics, 7 logo animation

All from a few ABC O&O stations

 

They were both signs of KMGH going from CBS to ABC in September 1995

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:

A KNSD open from the late 1990s is also there.

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).
