24994J 5569 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 For a large market, it's amazing how rare it is to find WLS clips from the late 90's. Here's a bunch of promos from 1998... 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/147/#findComment-170640 Share on other sites More sharing options...
capsgm2002 65 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 From Lansing, Michigan's WILX, here is a reel of news opens from 1981 with an unknown theme. Voiceover sounds like the same person that did it for WPXI in the early-80's. From 1980 (not 1979), a promo with Magic Johnson welcoming Tim Staudt to the sports team. He's still at WILX. Electro Phantasma theme.

capsgm2002 65 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I feel like I've heard it before... Seems to be a descendant of KTVU 1977! I thought so myself... glad I'm not the only one who thought that! From 1979, here was a news special from WVIT on the Tornado in Windsor Locks, CT which might actually be the same theme as the WILX video (EDIT: It's a match of the theme in Part 3 of the video, how about that?). I'm doubting that WVIT used "The News Image" during that time, in light of new evidence from a trade publication that Tuesday didn't begin offering it until 1981. I'll have to find that page in link it at some point. 5 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/147/#findComment-170734 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOneManHerd 553 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 EyeOnTV's back; among his additions, this, the first real artifact of the 1988 affiliate switch in Knoxville. The only video related to this event up until now was...this. Now, at the end of this parable, there was implication that WBIR had made a big mistake ending their long-standing partnership with CBS in order to hook up with NBC, now coated in that Cosby luster. It wasn't a mistake, though; WBIR would eventually become one the country's most dominant stations. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/147/#findComment-170785 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox2 191 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Just published by yours truly. Enjoy 'CNN' and 'NBC Today' as "interpreted" by comedy show Fast Forward (from my 1990 tapes. Anyone who remembers Desert Storm should get a kick out of them.) "Bobby Battista at the Center, Atlanter..." Bobbie discusses "smart bombs" with 'General Guthrie Phalanx' at Fort Kaboom, Twin Barrels, VA. Funny "anchor chat" sketch impersonating the NBC Today show. Classic... and close to the real thing!

TheOneManHerd 553 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Found some more WBIR, one of the earliest uses of the "craft shop 10" which had, fortunately, not yet found it's way onto the news logo. Highlights include a very serious cut of Newsmark (which is rather juxtaposed next to that heart), and future subject of Trump's nightmares Jim Acosta. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=b43I7iAtfPw;m=9;s=26 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/147/#findComment-170884 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToriElectra 292 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Here's something interesting- anyone remember the USA Updates that were shown on the USA Network in the late 80s and the 90s? Everyone thought that they moved from being produced at KYW to the All-News Channel in 1991 after KYW's infamous revamp (causing the departure of Steve Bell, likely one of the reasons USA approached KYW/Group W to produced the updates). And yet, I found an update from 1993, still produced at KYW with Beverly Williams anchoring from one of the Art-Deco styled sets, just with a grey chrome-key BG. It makes you wonder why they moved at all, then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=zBrxnPFZi1U;m=0;s=10 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/147/#findComment-171255 Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnoxvilleTVFan 286 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Checked out a little bit of the WLOS-TV Blizzard video and was glad to see Brenda Burch (former WTVK news anchor/reporter) in the video. She anchored coverage of the big Blizzard of '93 for WLOS. I am back with some rare goodies. We take you back to the early 1980s and Tuscaloosa, Alabama where we feature an intro for WCFT's "Eyewitness News" from this period. They used "Electro Phantasma" by Dave Grusin off the soundtrack to "The Electric Horseman". From 1987, here is an MPBN broadcast of the Mount View/Rockland game with a WABI news clip at the beginning. At :04 into the video is a WABI newscast open used in 1987 featuring an unknown news theme. From March 1989, here is a partial WHBF-TV newscast. WHBF-TV was one of the non-ABC stations to use Gari's News Series 2000 as its theme as they were CBS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtKRHTqdQGc 4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/147/#findComment-171356 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2895 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Wow, the owners of WCFT sure liked that set, because they gave an identical one (with logo changes and the weather center on the opposite side) to their Yuma sister station (WCFT and KYEL were sisters between 1978 and 1990): That WCFT Alumni group where that came from has some good stuff, mostly images but a few videos, including this one: 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/147/#findComment-171360 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2895 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 This video has been on YT since 2009... 28 views for *another* early 90s KRBK newscast piece with the WSVN-ripoff aesthetic: KAPP in 1987. KVEW used this theme too, of course: And TUCSON??? KGUN's theme in 1986 was the Tuesday WNDU theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrAUZwcSaOk Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/147/#findComment-171448 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Info Junkie 1286 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Got some good old footage of WSOC, which goes back even to the early '80s (a rare find for channel 9). This was a report on Bill Walker's co-anchors over the time talking about his retirement (you even see old footage of Doreen Gentzler before her NBC days!) The first clip (around 1978) shows an open similar to that of WAGA and the Outlet stations. Also, "The News Image" is heard during a news tease (possibly 1984?) 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/147/#findComment-171767 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2895 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 A KCBS Action News Sports special from April 1992.
