Musk Ox on Vimeo has posted what looks to be rare early prototype logos for ABC.

[Samantha 2902]

One says "Cap Cities ABC", which dates it to the 1980s. Others look definitely 1960s-70s.

John Christopher Burns has some new old stuff out...

 

News 8 Austin 1999 montage:

Bay News 9, 1997: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_crODX2IGYo (home of seriously good Primetime News cuts!)

 

And, despite being non-classic, still merits a posting for interest:

 

a full montage of the WJCL-WTGS redo he debuted last year:

 

It appears WTGS is also now using the Eyewitness News package (new information to the NMSA).

 

I wonder which television station is next for JC to tackle. He's been working a lot with New Vision TV of late (KOIN, KIMT, WKBN, WJCL), so perhaps KHON-2 Honolulu?

Election Night Coverage from WNBC New York and NBC News (November 7th, 1978)

[Samantha 2902]

"South Florida's News Station" had relaunched by late 1988...but this rare 11pm open from when it still had to air the NBC network didn't last beyond then. (December 22nd, 1988? That's the Lockerbie bombing, and a day had probably passed)

Just in time, phillyvideofan's Hurricane Andrew collection has a WLNE 1992 open with a theme I've NEVER heard before and may not be in the NMSA. With the voice of Paul Anthony in his prime:

I just found three parts of a WBZ Eyewitness News Nightcast for December 2, 1985, courtesy of YouTuber TVNewStand:

 

 

Also, WJAR News Channel 10 from Veteran's Day 1998, a Wednesday. This was from when WJAR was an NBC O&O, although IMO, they didn't seem like one. BTW, Media-General owns WJAR today.
