ChesapeakeTV 310 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 TVQ Eyewitness News Brisbane 1982 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niTIxrKvxBY Eyewitness Newsbreak w/Kay McGrath (now Ch 7 veteran) As stated by uploader Australian TV Fan, the open featured the "Eyewitness News" helicopter, speedboat and even a 4WD. Ah, Release of Energy...one of my favorite tracks from KPM (especially with all the synthy sound effects presumably added for TVQ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago's Very Own 104 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 WFLD opening in 1993, with a 1940s newsreel-esque dramatic orchestra in the background and a very messy and busy-looking early 90s looking intro. Walter Jacobson's first year at WFLD, according to the description. I don't think either of the music choices that they used suited a 9pm news broadcast, even in 1993.

ChesapeakeTV 310 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 A quick KTVB ID from 1999 shows them using Broadcast News...but I'm linking the whole thing because of a very certain production track in the commercial preceding it. This part also provides more of a look at the jcbD graphics of the time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=M1jua28mABw;m=2;s=10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2878 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Did Blacker's become Mor Furniture for Less or something, or at least did they use the same production company? The whole ad screams Mor to me (including VO). Mor had a tendency at one point to use Network Music and actually directly contributed to one ID of a piece of music! (That would be Dominant Force. Hearing it in a Mor commercial actually sparked me finding it. It helped that I already knew it was a production track by its appearance in a Rick Santorum presidential ad.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesapeakeTV 310 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Blacker's is still alive and well, though they're down to just two locations nowadays. Maybe they had the same ad agency at the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently whoever was channel 12's general manager at the time. Besides the creepy synth wind noises that sound straight out of some cheap VHS horror movie, I love the dramatic talent introductions.

onthesea 292 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 20/20's report on local news, anchors and consultants (1982), and at the end, a snippet of WCVB's 6PM news from May 1981, when Natalie and Chet had their daughter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2878 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 A taste of something different: KGMB in 1999. The news theme debuted two years earlier and was written by Audy Kimura. The graphics at least that accompanied this theme lasted into 2001. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onthesea 292 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 One more I think is noteworthy: I don't know why, but this opener (also from 1995) reminded me of WXIA. Maybe the designers were heavily inspired by programs like Inside Edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
