TheRolyPoly 1847 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 No opens, but some Casper, Wyoming news clips from 1990/91. That "GWN News" set! You mean, Cheyenne, WY? Because that's KGWN-TV out of Cheyenne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2878 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 You mean, Cheyenne, WY? Because that's KGWN-TV out of Cheyenne. It was the air show club in Casper and there's a chance it could have been KGWC's news operation if they branded it as "GWN News". I think the other clip is KTWO.

I think the other clip is KTWO. Well then it would've been "GWC News" because using "GWN News" on KGWC wouldn't make sense, unless if it was simulcast KGWN's newscasts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might have at one point. Given that later on KGWC and its repeaters became semi-satellites of KGWN, that possibility does exist. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2878 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Not exactly video, but NewsActive3 put up two nearly 13-minute slideshow of local news print ads from TV Guides. Lots of cool and retro rarities! The first part features WJRT when it used Home Country, KDNL in its "News 30 Now" era, WTVQ's "62 NewsWatch", and a KCBD promo for "Eyewitness News" in which the N is made of two 1s. (And could WMTW have used On Top of it All?) The second part is all Indiana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back then when, the politico's lied to them...they got whacked upside the head with an EV-635 mic. And those "news women" in those ads.... Well they were just a bunch of "women's libbers" and drunken floozies. Real News men! And they used Manuel typewriters.... And rotary phones that weighed 5 pounds... And they were "the most trusted" in the market... (try saying that shit now-days) And they smoked 8 packs a day...inside the newsroom. And film cameras with cranks...no batteries....batteries were for pussy's... And they wore gold blazers...with cool patches. And L.A. only had one area code(213) There were no cellphones....just 2-ways and "mobile phones" that cost 5 dollars per minute to use.... And the internet was only for pussy's.... Cuz real newsmen read their porno in a real magazine...purchased from a sleazy bookstore next to the bar. All while the women cooked...and the men had sex with the court clerks (also floozies) after hours. And the news was only a 1/2 hour long...twice a day...because real newsmen got FRIGGIN RESULTS in just 1/2 hour....twice a day. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
