[CircleSeven 1960]

WLS News Open/Close 12/3/92, 20 years ago today (12/3). This is to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of News Series 2000 Plus on Channel 7.

 

Videos courtesy of ctmajka from YT posted a few years ago. EDIT: 12/3/92 is not the actual date of which the theme began, since it debuted weeks prior to this airing. But this is one of the earliest videos with the theme.

WLCY (now WTSP) promo from 1978:

 

 

[Samantha 2902]

From 1981, it's WTVM's Action 9 News — the oldest Columbus GA news open we have! What is the theme?

 

http://youtu.be/kfB80kyTDjQ

 

From the same year, WBAY's Action News at 6. I believe this might be a CBS News/affiliate theme. I've heard the opening sound effect before, on a CBS News/WBTV combo promo. This is the oldest Green Bay market open we have.

WEWS 5 released Monday (on the station's 65th anniversary) a 1953 presentation this station produced entitled "Right Before Your Eyes", which shows a then-up & coming television infrastructure in Northern Ohio. They'd also included the two stations in nearby Youngstown (WKBN & WFMJ).

Not mine, but just stumbled across a 1983 CNN clip with Keith Olbermann reporting on the Redskins' Super Bowl XVII championship (note mustache and Keith's haircut)

[Samantha 2902]

From late 1987, WRBT's Baton Rouge Today. What makes this notable is they would change calls the very next day (though the music and graphics remained).

 

[Samantha 2902]

It's Part 95! Some stuff is new, though most of it isn't. Among the more intriguing items is a British clip of an Anglia News teaser and ITN's News at Ten from 1997. This Anglia theme really sounds nice (TV Ark has a full open from this era).

Here's a WAFB open from 1985:

 

[Samantha 2902]

From 1992, news opens throughout Michigan. Highlights:

 

-A WLNS open with the WTVO 1992 News Theme!

-Another WILX open from their basic graphics open (the morning open is in the NewsActive3 collection amidst a bunch of Fresno materials)

-A "Get the Facts" WJBK open

-A Sports Update open from WXYZ. KYW used this as production music in 1987 for lottery numbers, not sure of theme though

-A WKBD open

As this company emerges from chapter 11, let's all pay attention to this slogan, which is celebrating its thirtieth anniversary this year. Let Lou sing it for you.

Stumbled across a series of videos in which the first part includes several clips from WAVY in late 1986 and early 1987 covering Bruce Hornsby (a Williamsburg native) as he went on to win the Best New Artist Grammy for 1986 (part of a playlist; some of which are listed as private).

Clips from WTVT's Eye on Tampa Bay, 1991

 

[Samantha 2902]

From 1988, WVLA's 10pm open. Longest cut of this theme I've ever heard. Also includes a rejoin. Jacky also has a hypothesis about the name of this package, which he thinks might be titled "A New Vision for Louisiana" or similar:

 

[PelicanGuy 117]

From 1981, A KNXT promo about the stations Emmy success.

 

 

 

Also from that year, a KNXT promo about Joe Carcione (Green Grocer) on the 5 pm newscast and the Late Show movie.

Here is a High-Quality version of WABC-TV's Now Is The Time promo based on the ABC Network campaign from 1981.

 

[10Viewer 338]

1986 KTVI (ABC) complete newscast with commercials:

 

[Samantha 2902]

Orange County NewsChannel, 1990s. This same theme was used by UGA's student-produced "News Source 15" in 2001.

While looking for stuff I found something from "KOLD" that was actually from KOLO, a completely mislabeled clip, and something that said it was about Kansas but came from Kentucky, plus "WSPA" somehow becoming "WDPS" in "Spartensburg" (typo) and someone putting WLKY in the Cincinnati market.

 

Also, the "NBC Evening News" [sic] from January 1978 — notably, without any tobacco-related material. There's even a WNBC close in here: http://archive.org/details/tobacco_giw27a00

Nice find! I wish they had more online video. Seems like there is a lot of material available.
