onthesea 292 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 A long closer for Canal 9's noon news from January 1996, anchored by Cristina Pérez (before moving to Telefe) and Guillermo Andino (before joining América 2). The guy who composed the theme (Luis Reales) was listed in the credits! 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/253/#findComment-205456 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ntropolis 596 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Rare commercial clips from WITN in 1997: Includes promos for weathercaster Steve Hawley at 3:11 and sports with Trey Jones at 12:46. They were using that same "Business Break" graphic with Network Music's "Bright Expectations" . 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/253/#findComment-205561 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseyfla 207 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 [QUOTE="Info Junkie, post: 211002, member: 3593"]@Ramona Going back on what you said about WPXI possibly debuting Newsmat in ‘85 is now plausible. This Steelers video from 1984 still shows WPXI with their old logo: [URL]http://www.mcmillenandwife.com/1984_Steelers_35_vs_Oilers_7.html[/URL] Sticking with ‘PXI, this 2 hour Steelers Video On Facebook includes some promos for Channel 11 mixed in, as well as then-weekend sportscaster Randy Waters hosting “Steelers 5th Quarter”. Interestingly, his second stop after WPXI was another channel 11, this time being WXIA in Atlanta. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=id=1297900003626494;type=video[/QUOTE] The McMillen and Wife Steelers fansite has TONS of videos! (Pray the NFL doesn’t shut them down). If anyone wants to see vintage WIIC and WPXI clips there are many of them as WIIC/WPXI was the Steelers flagship TV station for many years as they locally televised all of their preseason games until 1998 with a short stint on WTAE from 1985-89. In fact I just watched a 1981 preseason game and at halftime they had an ad for their new 5:30 News with a young Roxanne Stein and then a news update with Midge Hill at the 29:00 mark.

Samantha 2895 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Not having a logo in such a slickly produced promo suggests they were in transition. They did get a new ND around then, so it's not unthinkable. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/253/#findComment-205628 Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.L. Hughes 881 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Oh you should! T.L. Hughes hasn't uploaded a compilation in a longtime. Here's why I haven't uploaded news open compilations in the last two years. I used Wondershare Video Converter to edit and publish the videos; the application, however, was increasingly having audio/video syncing issues during the publishing process, which is why some of the later uploads and re-uploads had audio that was a few seconds off. My laptop's hard drive also crashed last December, and has been in the hands of a friend of a neighbor of mine (the latter of whom referred me to him to get it fixed) for repairs since then. Hopefully, I'll be able to get it back sometime this summer, and if a reinstalled Wondershare cooperates or I can find a similar video converter software that can sync video and audio properly, I'll add new compilation uploads to the YouTube channel. 4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/253/#findComment-205733 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should update your compilations once you get the chance. Nearly all of the videos you have currently use new opens by now. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/253/#findComment-205736 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Info Junkie 1286 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Next batch from KJRH! If you’re wondering how I make these compilations I use screen recorder on my iPhone. Then I put the clips together on iMovie and edit them down, pretty easy. Though it is annoying when some videos’ volumes don’t work, or when notifications keep popping up while you’re recording... Also I’m planning on targeting other areas too, like Baltimore, Minneapolis-St. Paul, and even Phoenix, which I’m sure will grab @Ramona’s attention... 4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/253/#findComment-205749 Share on other sites More sharing options...
