WWUpdate 1292 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 And speaking of CNN moves, this is CNN International's first newscast from its custom production facility at the CNN Center in 1994 (with a report about the new studios from the 1:20 mark): Before then, CNN International broadcast from a corner of CNN Domestic's newsroom, as you can see in this 1992 clip: 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/153/#findComment-176693 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Info Junkie 1286 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Go to 0:31 in this video and you'll see something interesting about the 1980 Atlanta affiliation switch. Ok, it actually was proposed to be Oct. 13, but the switch happened Sept. 1, of course.

Samantha 2895 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 KRCR-TV? Whoa, that's rare! "Northstate News: Final Edition" from February 13, 1995. KRCR was still using the ABC WNT theme, though they were about to be bought, which would precipitate the end of the interstate shield logo. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/153/#findComment-176774 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2895 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 At least it wasn't the synthesized version like I was half-expecting, given what they had in 1981... That is a rare market. How a tape from Chico/Redding got to Yakima, another once-rare market, baffles me. Also that is some pretty darn barebones news presentation.

Afterwards, worked for WPTV from 1989 to 2000.

justin2kx 237 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 One more clip and it's VERY rare. We take you back to March 1987 where we feature a KTVE newscast from this period. The news close can be seen at 15:24 and features an unknown news theme. Anyone know what it is? It dawned on me. The very first version (my fave) of 'Come Home To NBC' back when they just introduce the current peacock in 1986. The theme alone should've lasted a full season IMO before they switched to gospel choir version. Campaign would've lasted five (instead of four) years. The instrumental version kicks ass as well. Someone stitch up + send it to NMSA. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/153/#findComment-176856 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesapeakeTV 311 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 We finally get to see News Edge on WAAY, with an open from 2000... ...and one from 2001, with a heavy dose of technical difficulties on top. Plus a very odd little open from WAFF in 1989. I suspect this may be related to KTRE 1993 - they were definitely . 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/153/#findComment-176863 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2895 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 A couple notes: that 2000 WAAY lead is one heck of a story, and there's a bumper about 14 minutes in with a cut of KTRE 1993.

ChesapeakeTV 311 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Yeah, it was a bit of a hoot to hear that. Not something you'd expect to see on a normal show... re: WAFF - interestingly, they must have been using it alongside KSL 1989 too...that or the timing is a bit confused. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=5zldxtuRU-U;m=6;s=3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/153/#findComment-176880 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2895 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I am starting to think that is actually part of the theme package. That is the correct era for 48 The News (it's also before "WAFF 48 News" was adopted in 1989 or so). If you listen to some of the samples, the package's musical signature is actually kind of similar. Here's News 12 Long Island in 1986: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp55Z572tLg Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/153/#findComment-176902 Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Block 1566 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 KDVR promo song from 1987. Also cool to see what logo they had back then, as well as the brand — "TV 31."

fox2 191 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Couple from TCN 9 Sydney - #1 for most of its time on air. I recorded this from the other side of the world in London in '88, when it was (lovingly) featured on a morning show. A classic. TODAY promo featuring dream sequence with the anchors oversleeping, recorded by yours truly. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/153/#findComment-176920 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChesapeakeTV 311 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 VHSgoodiesWA strikes again, this time with a tape haul from Bozeman, MT. Not much to see so far (though he's promising a KTVM newscast from 1991 soon), but there is this little bit...KXLF followed the lead of their Billings sister in image, it seems. (The music is an instrumental version of the image song accompanying KTVQ 1990 - The News Station, KTVQ.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=rpVYpGpZ5o8;m=2;s=30 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/153/#findComment-176951 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tw-804 190 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I found some image campaigns from Nashville, Atlanta and Boston... WTVF's "Friends You Can Turn To" image campaign from 1984. The station aired this during their 50th anniversary special in 2004. WSMV's "The Diary" image campaign from 1992... WXIA's Hello Georgia promo from 1985 featuring the Commodores... WXIA's image campaign song from 1974! This promo includes a glimpse of the Pro News set. It's rare to find something from the station's pre-11Alive days.
