bmasters1 418 Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) 4 hours ago, SoFloTVClassics said: WTVJ News 4 1985 That WTVJ partial 1985 broadcast had a style of billing that I don't think I ever recall seeing from that former CBS station and now CBS O&O of Miami as WFOR (WTVJ being the NBC O&O there as NBC6)-- having the first name of each anchor to wipe on screen from the right in big letters, then having the full name zoom quickly down to the bottom under that anchor's likeness/video; the full title also got that treatment when all anchors were billed. I also liked how the announcer branded the newscast-- "This is News 4: #1 in South Florida." Edited March 1, 2023 by bmasters1
MD TV 287 Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 On this, the 70th anniversary of WJZ-TV in New York changing their call letters to WABC-TV, here's Channel 7 Eyewitness News at 11 from March 24, 1997: 1
H-Town TV Fan 224 Posted March 3, 2023 Posted March 3, 2023 KVEW News 42 Weekend Report promo at the 2:58 mark (I think @VHSgoodiesWA might like this one!) (September 29, 1984)
VHSgoodiesWA 310 Posted March 3, 2023 Posted March 3, 2023 That's great stuff up there. 1980s Tri-Cities TV is hard to find. I was able to find a few hours of Saturday morning and weekday afternoon cartoons last September taped from KNDU and KVEW in 1986-87. Those ads should be posted soon.
MediaZone4K 2315 Posted March 3, 2023 Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) WCBS's best graphic pagace and set look. They really gutted this after 1995. The "2 News" era also looked pretty good. Edited March 6, 2023 by MediaZone4K 1
MD TV 287 Posted March 3, 2023 Posted March 3, 2023 WRNN 7 PM newscast from October 13, 1998 (partial): WNBC NewsChannel 4 at 11 from October 24, 1996. Right before Michelle Marsh joined the station, and thus would've probably filled in for Sue here:
10Viewer 338 Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 In 1987, KFMB's Loren Nancarrow did a story about the Los Angeles TV news ratings war and the type of stories being aired:
10Viewer 338 Posted March 5, 2023 Posted March 5, 2023 WTSP news promo and commercial breaks from 12/31/88. That summer, the station debuted a new studio set and graphics, but kept the "Action News" moniker and theme music they'd been using since 1983. A few months after this, in April 1989, a computer espionage scandal rocked the market, resulting in the arrest of WTSP's news director and assistant news director, who had formerly been employed by WTVT and still had access to WTVT's computer network

Looks like a design from the late 70s/early 80s but debuted in 87. 1

10Viewer 338 Posted March 8, 2023 Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) Most of a WTVN-Ch.6 newscast from 1987 and part of "World News Tonight". What's interesting is at about 31:00, there is a spot discussing WTVN's pending sale from Taft Broadcasting to another owner. WTVN was spun off to Anchor Media, which was founded by several former executives of Gulf Broadcasting and WTSP. Edited March 10, 2023 by 8Viewer
TheOneManHerd 555 Posted March 9, 2023 Posted March 9, 2023 What a find: Chris Thomas' last sportscast at WBAL before leaving for an illustrious decade and change at WFLA. A bit of melancholy seeing him with Vince Gibbens, seeing how they both died so tragically young. 1
VHSgoodiesWA 310 Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 Several NEW clips here KBCI 2 News at 10 (partial), 3/15/1998 - a reupload from the old channel KYTV and KSPR news clips from March 1987, when Vice President Bush came to Mountain Grove, MO. Lucinda Kay on KAPP/KVEW news, 1/10/1998 Renee McCullough does a weeknight broadcast of KAPP news on 1/8/1998 Classic KIRO from Oct. 1984 - Susan Hutchison, John Marler, Wayne Cody, and Harry Wappler on top of Broadcast House
10Viewer 338 Posted March 11, 2023 Posted March 11, 2023 Part of a WTSP 11:00 newscast from 1999 with Sue Zelenko, Reginald Roundtree, Dick Fletcher and Al Keck. I felt like WTSP, at this point, was kinda falling behind the other stations in the market, IMO.
