Samantha 2878 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 That KJEO open might be one of the worst pieces of news open copy ever. The KGMC C-43 jingle has a classic JAM sound to it, too...definitely came from a radio package. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compubit 670 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 That KJEO open might be one of the worst pieces of news open copy ever. I didn't say they were all good... Just a "nice" variety from the past... Â The KGMC C-43 jingle has a classic JAM sound to it, too...definitely came from a radio package. Basically the station was run almost like a radio station that ran almost all syndicated fare. At the time, the 47News rebroadcast was probably the highlight of the broadcast day...

hmaxhanson 650 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 KJEO (Fresno, CA) July 17, 1998 6:00pm [MEDIA=vimeo]237015270[/MEDIA] Â The jingle on the KGMC station ID was JAM's "The Spirit of New England" jingle package, one of my favorites. It likely dates back to 1995, when KGMC was Fresno's first WB affiliate, airing about 8-10 hours of barter shows programmed from KMPH, and brokered religious programming and infomercials during the rest of the day. By the time this video was recorded, KMPH had moved C43's entertainment shows and WB affiliation to KNSO 51 in Merced, where it remained until New Years Day 2001, when it swapped affiliations with Telemundo affiliate KMSG 59 in Sanger (which became KFRE, which it still is today as the market's CW affiliate). Judging by this video, I can assume that KJEO likely bought time on KGMC to air time-shifted rebroadcasts of its newscasts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compubit 670 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Just found more fun from Phoenix in May 1992, including a theme not in the SouthernMedia-NMSA for KPHO! Â May 1992 - KTVK, with the "KTVK Can-Can" promo - look for the entire newscast soon.

Info Junkie 1285 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 WOW... Never saw that KPHO open before... Another Phoenix newscast open discovered! Now let's see what we're still hunting for:  KPNX: - 1979-1980, according to the NMSA they were still using "Classical Gas" but the 1979 documentary uses "It's All Right Here" - 1989-1990, "Real News" and first wave of TvbD era  KOOL/KTSP/KSAZ - Early 1980s, after they changed their call letters, known as "TV 10 News" - 1983, when they became "Newscenter 10" - 1995-1996, the transitional "10 News" era before the Fox takeover  KTVK - 1978-1980, "Count On Us" and KIII-style logo era - 1982-1984, "The News Image" and current debut of the red circle 3 era - 1984-1986, so far only an election update from their "Turn To" era has been seen  KPHO - Late 1970s to early 1980s, using "Part of Your Life" - 1994-1996, "Fresh News" era (including before CBS)  KNXV - 1994, when they launched their newscast - 1995-1998, first wave under ABC  In total we are currently hunting for 12 more Phoenix newscast gems. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compubit 670 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I believe I have Fresh News for KPHO and KNXV early ABC, and possibly transitional KSAZ. I'm still digging. Unfortunately getting stuff off of tape is a real-time activity... (Though I usually start the playback/recording process and go do something else...) Plus I royally suck at labeling my tapes... And I have hundreds of tapes to go through... Â I believe I have the full 12News Sunday 7pm Newscast from 5/3/92 - It's recording right now, and we'll see...

Ntropolis 593 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 [MEDIA=vimeo]237336656[/MEDIA] Â That KPHO open is "The Visionary" by Soundtrack. Not sure what the close could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2878 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Holy moly there's a lot to digest here. That KPHO open is a surprise. My date guess is 1991 to 1993?. The KPHO 9:30 news expanded to an hour in 1991, and I'd have to imagine the presentation refresh accompanied it. When it was replaced with Signature, channel 5 also got a new logo, the circle 5 that lasted just two years — at the latest, in April 1993. There are a lot of missing newspapers for the Republic in August-December 1992 on newspapers.com which hinders this search considerably. During the Signature era they really remained dead last. In the February 1993 sweeps, News 5 at 9 managed to place behind the Big 3 networks *and* Star Trek on KNXV! That's actually a *second* version of the Can-Can promo! Totally different people in the second half. The other one ended with kids. And that's a *third* (sequentially second) variant of the KTSP Pinnacle (Round the Clock News) open set. The first said "Channel 10" at the beginning. The third actually had the sunset 10 logo in that beginning piece. That KNAZ open is just...bad. Also @Ntropolis that close is Bellavia which KPHO had used as its close music for more than a decade at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesapeakeTV 310 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 The KNAZ open would be slightly better if they'd done what I hoped to see and written the title as "News 2night." Â Hmm...I may have to remedy it for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â You could just put the full newscast on YouTube, as they'll let anybody upload anything. They don't even have that 10-minute limit anymore. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
