Samantha 2895 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) Those Phoenix clips are a nice stocking stuffer. Especially when there are stories with titles like "Grid Plan or Papago?". Also on YT today, a KPWB news promo (!): And a KCRA noon open from January 1 of that year — when northern California (and Nevada) were in the grip of major flooding: Edited December 24, 2019 by Samantha Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/335/#findComment-237817 Share on other sites More sharing options...

10Viewer 334 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) WCHS was pretty impressive in the '90s from the clips I've seen. Much better look than what came under Sinclair ownership.

AJClementeFan69 477 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) Crappy recording of a WISC weekend newscast in 1998 with the Star Trak theme. Would be nice if this person would digitize it (or send the tape to someone who can). Talent open at about 6:28.

Weeters 1915 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 A treasure trove of 1998 WITI, all revolving around the retirement of John Drilling. Some observations: The "Newscenter" set is brand new here (weeks old), and the newsroom and weather office have yet to be renovated to match. There are also still human camera operators in the studio. Also a few clips of Molly Fay, now over at WTMJ doing the Morning Blend, and Scott Steele who is now suing WTMJ/Scripps. A few of these packages were crammed right at the end of the show, so there's a few seconds of the classic Magnum close music sprinkled throughout. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/335/#findComment-238112 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2895 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 We've already seen KXTV's coverage of Loma Prieta as it started to unfold—now we have a full, 45-minute (!) 11pm show from that night, and it's a treat with its own special open. Not the only long KXTV aircheck we got in the last week: five and a half minutes of coverage of the Sun Valley Mall plane crash in Concord from 1985. At the time, the station was still using the Tuesday "Spirit of California" theme: 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/335/#findComment-238199 Share on other sites More sharing options...
