Samantha 2895 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 The NMSA also thinks it's a bumper when quite clearly it's a close. I've replied with my rebuttal. "That's it for this edition of News 40" sounds nothing like a bumper. That's a close. To get back on track, here's an international find. The first night of Brisbane Ten News after TVQ's 0-10 switch in September 1988. By this point, however, Turn To was gone. At the end of the year they began using the standardized purple/gold/silver "Ten News" look.

10Viewer 334 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 The WWSB clip is definitely a close. It'a also interesting to note that WSVN also used the same package in the mid 80s.

WAVY 10 Fan 233 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Ran across this by accident, and this may be not only the oldest footage discovered yet from a Hampton Roads station but possibly one of the few pre-1980 footage of ANY sort from WAVY (rumor has it the management {IMO, stupidly} destroyed nearly all their pre-1980 footage in a fire, why only God and those making the decision know).

WWUpdate 1291 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Antenne 2, France, 8 p.m. (national) news, 1979, on the day the notorious French criminal Jacques Mesrine was gunned down in Paris: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zikrb6Td5II Here's what Wikipedia tells us about Mesrine: "He was responsible for numerous bank robberies, burglaries, and kidnappings in France and Canada. Mesrine repeatedly escaped from prison and made international headlines during a final period as a fugitive when his exploits included trying to kidnap a judge who had sentenced him. An aptitude for disguise earned him the moniker "The Man of a Hundred Faces" and enabled him to remain at large while receiving massive publicity as a wanted man. "[...] on November 2, 1979, the couple left the apartment for a weekend in the country, taking Jeanjacquot's pet poodle with them. Mesrine and Jeanjacquot had reached Porte de Clignancourt on the outskirts of Paris when the gold BMW they were driving was boxed in at the entrance to an intersection and police marksmen in the rear of a truck immediately in front of their car threw open a tarpaulin. Reportedly, in the instant before the police opened fire Mesrine's eyes were described as being so shocked they seemed to be bursting from his head as he realized he was trapped. Twenty rounds were fired at point blank range; Mesrine was hit 15 times. A coup de grâce was then administered with a pistol. Sylvia Jeanjacquot lost one eye and suffered lasting damage to her arm. Her pet dog was killed." Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/59/#findComment-72403 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2895 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 WDAF Kansas City, mid-late 1990s. This is the alternate signature Impact. Closer to 1998 or 1999 given the design of the open and the fact that the sample we have has a different VO December 5, 1997: Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/59/#findComment-72417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Viewer 334 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Those clips are excellent finds. Look at the high production values on the WFLA 1991 clip. God, I miss those days.

Samantha 2895 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Some more: WTVJ 1992 6am. Have you ever heard the morning cut of "Watch Our Teamwork"? It's just as hard hitting as the real thing. http://archive.org/details/tobacco_smx27a00 KING 1993 6:30pm (date is a guesstimate). Note the "First in the Northwest" script in the open. http://archive.org/details/tobacco_wwx27a00 KATU "Town Hall". Maybe late 1980s? http://archive.org/details/tobacco_uxw27a00 In a visit to low-budget land, it's "Detroit Daily" from the always low-budget WGPR-62. What is the theme? http://archive.org/details/tobacco_umx27a00 In similar UHF territory, WVEU-69 Atlanta. Miss the days when these programs existed? http://archive.org/details/tobacco_dww27a00 "Cable News 21", Rockville, Maryland. Mid-late 1990s? http://archive.org/details/tobacco_kwx27a00 A variety from 1988: WCCO "Newsday", KMOV "Midday" tease and open, KDFW "Point of View" open. http://archive.org/details/tobacco_xww27a00 There's no open, but something is a serious mismatch between the label and the source of this segment.
