Was going through some tapes and ran across this. It's most of the 6:00 WVEC 13 News for September 27, 1995 (about 5 and a half minutes in the first block got taped over by an episode of the tabloid show Extra, which I edited out); complete with Jim Kincaid's commentary ("Jim's Notes")

 

To my knowledge other than an April 1, 1993 newscast that recently vanished from YouTube, I don't recall seeing any other full or mostly complete WVEC newscasts Jim anchored.

Surprised to see ABC using the bulletin branding as late as 2004. I wonder when they completely dropped using that and just stuck to special report. Special Report is a little overused for repeating events such as the impeachment trial or January 6 hearings. The live coverage designation, like back in the day, would be better suited for such events.

That is the last time I remember ABC using the Bulletin designation for breaking news. Is that still in active use?

What the news used to look like where I grew up.

This youtube creator parody of an 80s ABC O&O newscast deserves to be in the classic video - such attention to detail right down to the tone and facial expression for the opening story

KIMA News at 11 (5/17/2000) a previous upload before the channel(s) went down last March. I'm still around, but haven't spent time digitizing as much as I should...too many other priorities including a move back to Yakima last week. Many 100s of tapes are in storage right now.
