More re-uploads. Almost a year since I lost my channels, and still close to 2,000 videos left to re-upload.

 

KIRO NewsChannel 7 at 11 clip, 2/23/94, as Tonya Harding's hopes break apart in the figure skating competition. Steve Raible and Margaret Larson anchor. This wasn't long after they built a real news set following the ill-fated News Out of the Box experiment.

Start of KIMA News Weekend Edition 3/18/01, with David Mance

WDZL (now WSFL) Newsbreak 1991. At the 6:15 mark.  (Long before WTVJ, and later WPLG would produce a newscast for channel 39, like any independent station they would often supply Newsbreaks. In this case this one was supplied by then-WCIX (now WFOR))

Remember when WRTV had that WLS knockoff package from 2007 up until Scripps bought McGraw-Hill's TV holdings? I thought it was pretty good for an obvious knockoff package.

See if you can remember this weather clip from KWTV 1973.

WNYW 2007. Before the set hung around too long and became outdated, it was well used in it's early days. Fox 5 had strong graphical transitions, great theme music and nice ornate camera angles. Modern WNYW should take a page from this. Loved "the most powerful name in local news" branding.

Now here's the 1981 news open for KIRO:

 

The music dates to at least 1980. They also used "Classical Gas" in the '70s not sure which version. 

[WAVY 10 Fan 233]

Stumbled across this April 19, 1983 WAVY newscast (judging from the graphics, this might have been near the end of the time they used the really bold variant of Helvetica dating to the tail end of the Area 10 era)

 

[VHSgoodiesWA 309]

A brand new batch of classic Yakima clips. I wish they were more complete. But in this age, finding any VK-250 tapes in the wild (like this one) is worth a scan in the VCR.

 

KIMA NewsBeat at 11, circa January 1982, unknown female anchor albeit the late T.J. Close is doing a report on Greyhound cuts at the start.

Also an unknown anchor, but here's three minutes of KNDO Newservice from October 1980!!

Finally, much newer, the first few minutes of a Sunday night KIMA newscast from 9/28/03 with Roxeanne Vainuku.
