TheOneManHerd 553 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 (edited) WESH newscast from September 1990, with one of the clunkier slogans I've heard. It didn't last long, the slogan that is. Also one of the only newscasts I've seen outside of New England that opens with the lottery numbers from earlier in the day.

MediaZone4K 2172 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 (edited) Inside Story (1984) covering big name local news anchors like KABC/KCAL's Jerry Dunphy and WTVJ's Ralph Renick.The aforementioned men had competing philosophies. Renick advocated for giving the audience hard wide ranging news, whether they or media consultants like it or not. Dunphy believed in giving the audience what they want to see -- within the boundaries of good taste-- as ratings keep a station alive. It's amazing to see anchors like Dave Moore & Charles Kuralt's concern for journalistic content as far back as its prime--the 80s! Imagine what they'd think of today's local news. One thing that Kuralt and Moore needed to realize is that substance is prime but decoration attracts viewers. A good tasting cake must first look appealing to entice the eater. Elements like set design and graphics may seem tivial but still matter.

The news theme package was TuesdayG from Tuesday Productions. Wasn't too long before NewsWatch4 was rebranded as NewsCenter4 later that year.

Wouldn't be too long until Channel 13 became WNYT and an NBC affiliate. As for CBS, it went to where NBC used to be, which was WRGB channel 6. It was a swaparoony. Moreover, that news theme was Good Company by deWolfe Music, which was also heard on KPRC Houston during its Big 2 News days.

10Viewer 334 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 i don't think this has been posted. It's WSB from 1974. The main anchor is David Sisson and the title of newscast is "Newsroom". Surprisingly, they are also using "MCTYW" here: Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/428/#findComment-282465 Share on other sites More sharing options...
