sfomspphl 490 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Apparently BDA/PROMAX posts items from its archives every week or so. Here's one from KPIX in 1986 http://brief.promaxbda.org/content/from-the-promaxbda-archives-kpix-5-san-francisco-1986 Don't remember that part of the KPIX mid-80s set with the Alamo Square view in the background, but it's a nice touch Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/73/#findComment-90100 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAVY 10 Fan 233 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 From stevations' channel; here's a 1984 WAVY Daily News promo (apologies for the very poor quality). Considering the mention of lead anchor Bob Grip handling the Wednesday's Child segment; this was probably early 1984 (it would be later that year when Terry Zahn was promoted) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/73/#findComment-90196 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TVLurker 198 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Blame YouTube, they also took down the 1992 KNBC videos which contained what I believe to be one of the best themes KNBC ever had.

Jterry 43 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Just came across this live overnight - near 2 AM - news update from WMC back in early 1994. This during that nationwide trend where local stations went "24-hour". Joyce Peterson, now at WATN, anchors from what had to be very near her debut on Memphis television. Not surprisingly this is where the newest anchors/reporters began. The end also features the classic WMC ID of the era.

WWUpdate 1291 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 This isn't really a news open, but I love it. It's the title sequence for Whicker's World, a U.K. series featuring globe-trotting reports/travelogues by journalist Alan Whicker. This one is from his 1980 California episode: According to a YT comment, the spectacular final shot isn't even a montage!

Samantha 2895 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Another part of the NewsActive3 collection which has two WKXT closes that are probably production music from a period when their music is a big question mark, the mid-90s: Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/73/#findComment-90723 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2895 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 with a newsbreak, news open and close. The news theme is in the NMSA as KTVK 1987. A major find indeed. Also, that is one ugly set.

News 9 Viewer 100 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 From Youtuber dzanello, WMUR News 9 Tonight, 9/15/99: WMUR has never looked better IMO. The custom theme by Michael Karp is also pretty good. The only thing I don't like about it is the beeping sound that can faintly be heard during the tease.

bmasters1 403 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 [yt] [/yt] WLS EWN full 6 P.M. edition, April 11, 1983 (Main story: the Chicago election of that year). I'll never forget it (from seeing the opening from The 80s TV Theme SuperSite all those years ago) how the announcer opened the newscast: "This is Eyewitness News with Joel Daly, Dick Johnson for Fahey Flynn, Dr. Dave Iser's weather, Al Lerner on sports, and the Eyewitness News team." Don't know if I spelled that weatherman's name right, but that's how I remember hearing it.

AarHan3 18 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 From the 2007 WWL-TV Celebrating 50 Years special: 1980 WWLTV - Eyewitness News Noon open [MEDIA=dailymotion]x12nm19[/MEDIA] WWLTV -1980 Eyewitness News 6PM open - edited* [MEDIA=dailymotion]x11vcuu[/MEDIA] *This was shortened in the special to exclude "Jim Henderson, with Sports...and Nash Roberts, with The Weather!" to focus on Garland and Angela. If there's anyone out there who has the full intro (preceding hurly station ID cue included), please gimme a buzz! BTW, the news theme was cut in 1979 at TM Productions in Dallas, TX as part of a TV station package entitled "The Best Things In Life."
