Samantha 2878 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 The "Metromedia News at Ten" moniker is interesting. This is from just after the time when they flirted with starting up a national newscast which would have competed with INN, and I wonder if that is a legacy of the failed attempt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you referring to the part of the set that had the title of the broadcast (or the overall name of that station's news operation), much like would be on CBS Sports in Studio 43 in the 80s, when Brent Musburger was on The NFL Today, with The NFL Today title in the background on the set? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got it. 'Masthead' is what newspapers call their logo on the top of the front page. Banner well that seems like something you'd hang high up. I think Roone Arledge, who started the practice when he overhauled ABC NEWS, had some name for them - maybe it was banner or signage or something. I'm guessing in the KPIX case they saw KTVU had a plain beige masthead banner and used a world map for the center backdrop and was climbing in the ratings, so figured why not try that. Their prior masthead banner was an ABC NEWS knockoff with the black background. Edited October 27, 2021 by sfomspphl 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it then that these studios from 20/20 in the 80s w/Downs and Walters, and The Prudential College Football Report in 1986 w/Jim Nantz for CBS Sports, are also examples of masthead banners. Also, I'd like to know-- was CBS Sports' Studio 43 overhaul in 1981 (this Studio 43 of course also being used for CBS News at one time, on the CBS Morning News w/Kurtis and Sawyer) based on Roone Arledge's ABC idea? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows if they specifically said 'copy ABC News' but wouldn't be surprised if it influenced people involved in the project. Not a lot else on TV those days than the 3 networks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That newscast I recently found from KGWC is probably one of the rarest news finds I've ever made in the years I've been collecting off-air VHS recordings. And if I can find it, I have another partial newscast from 1993 to post soon. Talk about small town TV quality. In addition, I am spying an eBay VHS lot from Missoula that has, according to the seller, recordings from both Montana and Phoenix AZ on the tapes. But I am not sure if I will grab it because of the excess surplus of tapes I still have. I added about 11 new tapes from an estate sale 2 weeks ago in Sunnyside, 30 mi SE of Yakima. I was able to find a 1986 KIMA NewsBeat clip that I will post soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
