Ntropolis 596 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Internet Archive finds... Richmond news opens from 1991: https://archive.org/details/tobacco_rep23e00 At the 1:07:05 mark, WFMY (says 1992 but I think this date might be wrong) with the Working For You open: https://archive.org/details/tobacco_aey99d00 WHP noon open from 1989, with a theme I can't identify. It's not Real News. Sounds like a production track from Network Music: https://archive.org/details/tobacco_iar91f00 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/80/#findComment-98958 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not Real News. Sounds like a production track from Network Music: https://archive.org/details/tobacco_iar91f00 Nice to see a longer sample of the Discover the Difference open. I had a feeling there was more to it... Also, I think I remember posting that WHP video earlier. Great finds are posted alike, I guess.

Wasn't sure if it was posted already because it's not on the NMSA. Then again, the fact there there's a lot of missing info on the NMSA has been a hot topic lately! Can't complain because I know the webmaster's busy.

Then again, the fact there there's a lot of missing info on the NMSA has been a hot topic lately! Can't complain because I know the webmaster's busy. It doesn't help that the Internet Archive uploaded 1,200 videos (they're about 75% through their tapes) or that he is seriously backlogged on unknown themes. I've been rolling in finds this month, with some showing up in the NMSA and some not.

It's in the Ntropolis-produced montages from before the most recent wave of videos. When I went through the Phoenix research for the affiliation switch, I also read the articles about KNXV's first newscast, which had a cold open: "no pretty pictures of Arizona", no shots of news personalities with their kids, etc. (that's how they described it) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/80/#findComment-98993 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWUpdate 1292 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 A rare open from the now-defunct news operation at KNAZ in Flagstaff, Arizona; 4:30 p.m., 1999: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9AviilIGZQ Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/80/#findComment-99062 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2895 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 There goes my theory that KLBK 1996 was a CBS affiliate package... That said KNAZ's history is one of the most well-discovered for a small- or no-market station.

panewswatcher69 28 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 re: Pittsburgh TV stations Posted this in recent 'cbs graphics' topic but thought would post here as well. Could anyone post any KDKA, WIIC turned into WPXI, WTAE, WPGH news opens/closes from the 70s, 80s, and early 90s? Interested in Erie, PA and Youngstown, OH as well for the same time frame. These are hard to find, rare, and would love to see them again since born and raised in western PA.

WAVY 10 Fan 233 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 On previous channels, I've uploaded a Maria Shriver interview of then-future President George W. Bush from NBC's August 20, 1992 coverage of the Republican National Convention. Here, I've uploaded all the footage I have of NBC's RNC coverage (picks up when Tom Brokaw and John Chancellor had just finished commenting on Vice President Dan Quayle's speech and ends when Tom throws a last-minute question to Andrea Mitchell {interviewing Michigan Gov. John Engler} about the proposed NAFTA treaty) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/80/#findComment-99629 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWUpdate 1292 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I think you meant 1986. Whoops! Fixed it.
