PBC5NewsUnova 65 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Here's a random news segment of WLTV from 1991. Boy, it's so hard to find old local Spanish content from back in the day such as Univision. I know this maybe off topic, but if you guys were trying to find hard to find videos of old local news content, what's the best way to find them besides circulating tapes? Sorry if I'm asking, but I'm not a professional when it comes to find hard to reach very rare old news videos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Info Junkie 1285 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 WAGA, Atlanta; 11 p.m., 1981: I believe that set of opens debuted when Forrest Sawyer took over for Chuck Moore, and then the branding became “Eyewitness News” later that year. Now that I’ve filled up most of the gaps for West Palm Beach, it’s your turn, Minneapolis-St. Paul... Also I never knew Terry McSweeney worked at WPBF. Must’ve been his job before going to KSAZ and WTEN... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Info Junkie 1285 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Well... what about the WFLX opens? D’oh! Totally forgot them. Because of how nasty hot it is in New York right now, it was the same way 25 years ago. You know it’s bad when the video starts with Chapin screaming at you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2878 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 It's an LPTV talk show from Akron, Ohio in 1993! (Evidently this was taped over something from WTVT) The LPTV is no longer with us. It sold for spectrum last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if I'm asking, but I'm not a professional when it comes to find hard to reach very rare old news videos. Unless you can find a way to check the station's archives, circulating tapes is the only way. Some stations still didn't save very much because tapes were expensive and needed to be wiped and re-used, and they took up shelf space. Before the internet, stations would often trade tapes with each other. After the advent of home recorders, it was possible for viewers at home to record news shows, but I feel like those would be watched once than used again.

Info Junkie 1285 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I know the updated look came in right before the Athens Olympics started. I was out of the area when it happened and when I came back it was a little shocking how well they did it. The 2002-04 "sub look" they wedged into the 1997 opens was flat out awful, a horrible blue/purple gradient, Arial fonts, just a massive mess and unless you poke around the Internet Archive largely invisible. I know that those beautiful opens that went with the first generation of L.A. Groove were junked when the second generation came in. Outside of all of their images in the NewsChannel 13 era, next to the Prime News era those were their best bar none.

Samantha 2878 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 So...did they add any newscasts? Or just new news features? This was apparently a fairly long strike, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was apparently a fairly long strike, too. both WJBK & WXYZ would bring in many columnist from the paper on the airwaves, and yeah that strike seem like it went on forever. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
