news89 467 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Ok - it's officially here! Ohio January 1993 - Really love WHIZ-TV's Open - can you get more generic? This Region? This Vicinity? This Area? And The World! - Also, can't place the theme they briefly use on their ID - Not a big fan of WCMH's theme, except for the close - would be interested in hearing the complete treatment - Wish I had more from WJW - the theme is so quiet in the morning newscast... - Unfortunately, no WUAB - the VCR froze up after bringing into the hotel room from the car without giving it time warm up (condensation...). [MEDIA=vimeo]244942978[/MEDIA] WTRF 12pm; WTRF 5:30pm; WTOV 6pm; WFMJ 11pm; WYTV 11pm®; WKBN 6am; WBNS 5pm; WHIZ (NewsBreak/ID); WHIZ 6pm; WCMH 5pm; WSYX 6pm; WBNS 6pm; WSYX (Close); WCMH 7pm; WSYX 11pm; WCMH 7am; WBNS 8am; WKYC 12pm (WE); WEWS 6pm; WAKC 11pm; WJW 8am; WKYC 9am All those opens from Ytown, Wheeling-Steubenville and Cleveland stations take me back. Especially the Ytown I've never seen the close of WYTV from that era. One market I would love to see from is the early 90s to early 2000s era would be the Charleston-Huntington WV market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2878 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 They used to have in the early 2000s an annoying "I Love My Diamondbacks" theme that they used in commercials. It's *still* stuck in my head. The 10 years of Diamondbacks baseball helped keep KTVK relevant even as its news operation sometimes made you wonder. Fox Sports Arizona had the other half of the games and became the full-time carrier because the Diamondbacks didn't want to bother with OTA TV any longer (and most likely KTVK could not or was not willing to match the Fox Sports deal). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrabbleship 427 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 A WNYT weather report from the early ‘90s...using that same syndicated graphics package as some stations like WOI, WAPT and KTVI. Typical Viacom — they always used syndicated GFX for their stations. Combing some historical weather data for Albany, there's a date I'm 99% sure fits this clip: October 10, 1991. The record highs and lows still match, the high and low that day match, and the other October 10ths that graphics package was in use were weekend days. This would've been just over a month after that package, Gari's "The Hour", and the NewsChannel 13 name came about. On a WNYT-related tangent. lurking on Archive.org is their own story on their 50th Anniversary (warning: downloadable link). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2878 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 That WAGA open set is the only open set I know of outside of KTVK that used Almost Casey Kasem™. Come to think of it, KTVK has had a lot of presentation and other connections to Atlanta stations over the years. It used the Hayes/Mike Byrne theme for the Outlet stations (NMSA WAGA 1977). There's the voiceover. Then there's WGCL which in the early 2000s picked up David Miller for music (leading to the poorly conceived Atlanta's NewsChannel package — listening to it now, the composer is obvious). The biggest connection was when Jack Sander, who once ran WAGA and then Belo's TV division, was the name on the license. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Info Junkie 1285 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Speaking of Atlanta, here’s some 11 Alive promos voiced by a very “Young” John Young. (Heh heh...) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2878 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 The bed in that second clip sounds like it accompanied their news theme of the era, especially the last few seconds. Interesting to hear this very early John Young (the first opens with Hello also used him). His work for another Atlanta client—Turner—was far more notable and what landed him national interest. He would remain based in Atlanta until moving his VO business to Nashville (where he'd been a radio personality at one point in the 60s) in 2009. On 440int (a massive list of people that were in radio), Young is quoted as saying... "When Ted Turner grabbed me to do his promo voice and TV work for TBS/TNT/CNN while in Atlanta, it changed it all; they seduced me from radio but opened doors with many opportunities; working harder than ever but loving every minute." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmaxhanson 650 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 For the user who wanted it, some weather forcasts and ids from KCBJ (now KMIZ) from 1982, when they were an NBC affiliate. You'll all be in shock and awe at how extremely low budget they were were back then, it doesn't get cheaper than this! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=cQi1bid61F8;m=4;s=54 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=ztNYujr0thA;m=6;s=20 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=8fFMQO0ggh8;m=6;s=42 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=rubOptSQ234;m=7;s=37 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=MaD6gHJpsOA;m=7;s=2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmaxhanson 650 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I personally decided to save this until the 5000th post, because it's a big one! Clips of KXLY-TV newscasts (including promos and intros) with the late Cole Bunzel, from 1977-1978, including the opening to the newscast after his death. Lots of rare stuff here! Happy 5000! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
