TheOneManHerd 553 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Well that was cheesy...and unusual. Was the station in that much risk of losing their network? Maybe ABC was threatening to move to WKYT. A similar move was about to happen in Louisville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bixpchiphead 105 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Well that was cheesy...and unusual. Was the station in that much risk of losing their network? Â Cheezy indeed... But It wasn't just because Disney owned ABC that they used the Mouse in the video... You see, the controlling shareholder in Shamrock Broadcasting was Roy Disney.....Yes Walt's Brother.

LexTVandRadio 412 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Maybe ABC was threatening to move to WKYT. A similar move was about to happen in Louisville. I believe when WDKY (FOX-56) came on as a FOX station in the late 80's was trying to take the ABC affiliation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey was used solely because of the ownership by Roy Disney. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChesapeakeTV 310 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 WTVQ 1989 - The model affiliate. When they were trying to keep their ABC affiliation. Â [snip] Â That has got to be the strangest rendition of Hello I've ever heard. I wonder if they actually used it outside of this (which really does amount to sucking up to the network...). Â KNDO in 1984...no open but given the close in the second part of the clip, this would probably be their theme. Interesting use of the NBC News globe animation of the time!

ToriElectra 291 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 That KCOP open with the tease actually might be one of the slickest news opens of the 90s. I liked it so much, I recorded part of that intro in Audacity and put it as an MP3. It'd be awesome if someone could find out who composed that theme.

ThatSowislander 52 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Â From the "it ain't broke, don't fix it" file: Here is a news open from 1998 (yes, 1998) from flagship CTV station CFTO in Toronto. This was after CTV bought the Baton stations.This was only a few months after they rebranded as CFTO News from the NightBeat/World Beat brand with the set/image that dates back to 1988 but before the first incarnation of the Leak look/"big screen" set that was unveiled by winter (not 1999 as previously stated), from the looks of Rewind Eats The Tapes' clips. There is a few clips that channel from Citytv and Global: Â Â From the look of the two clips, they switched to the Paul Hoffert theme/graphics the same time as CP24 launched (in 1998) and not 1997, as I previously thought.
