Info Junkie 1285 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 So KJRH used the stylized “2” for Election night 1990 even though they had switched to the circular “2” by September: Judging the “24 Hour News Source” logo they must have used these graphics with the older logo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWUpdate 1290 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 And finally, I think this has been posted here before, but no look at Chicago anchor tributes would be complete without this hour-long (!) special that WLS devoted to Fahey Flynn when he died in 1983: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2878 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Huh, didn't realize she'd worked there too.

Samantha 2878 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 This KMOV newscast from February 1995, using the "This Is Your News" moniker but the older imaging and music, shows how KMOV was starting to "soften up" compared to, say, a year prior, but they still had a ways to go compared to where they were by '96. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just coming to mention that the owner of that channel has been on a tear in terms of uploads over the last couple of days. Side note: I saw a snippet of the set CBS used for their election coverage and that must have been the debut for that set (haven't seen anything from CBS outside of the Republican convention in Kansas City for 1976; but CBS would continue using the set through the 1980s before, based on a short clip in a commercial compilation I saw a while back, switching to almost a prototype of the 1991-96 CBS Evening News set for election coverage) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewsStar2 90 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 KTRK's "Legalese" sequence, circa 1989. The version of the SSB in this clip was used until 2009 or so, while the 1986 or 87-era Meditations intro survived into the early 2000s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
