sfomspphl 490 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 KCRA near-full newscast, 1990: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T56LsiEuMrs As to the KGAN open, given that it was 1993 that looks completely modified. That open animation would probably date to 1988/89. It was used by KMPH and KOTA (which of course held onto it throughout the 90s). Nice to see more KCRA holes filled. Looks like they kept elements of the 1984 package for bumpers, and just refreshed the open. This look lasted until about 1992. Here's the open and part of a KCRA newscast from 1993 http://vimeo.com/59929508 And that WJBK set looks like a sibling of the KTVU set of that era.

Samantha 2895 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 WTOV promo, 1985...I feel like I've heard this theme before. Tuesday9? WESH in 1996, just changing over to the short-lived "NewsChannel 2" look. The promo at 5:36 is from the last generation package! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvOSc6Ktm68 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/98/#findComment-120474 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbs2newengland 72 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Cedar Rapids news from 1993, begins with a KGAN TVbD open with Real News. The still is laughable: that screen is so tacky with the "bug" being painted on the chroma screen. I guess they were too cheap to allow the CG to place a digital bug on that screen instead.

I guess they were too cheap to allow the CG to place a digital bug on that screen instead. I actually think it's cool. More elaborate production to do the chroma on-set with a special shot than just a bug and graphic talking head window.

Samantha 2895 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Forgot to include this earlier... This KGET commercial block from 1987 has the longest cut of a certain news theme I've ever heard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_vqI0SGfMQ#t=163 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/98/#findComment-120490 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TServo2049 81 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 WTOV promo, 1985...I feel like I've heard this theme before. Tuesday9? Well, NMSA says this is Tuesday9, and we all assumed it was too (I can't remember if I was the reason it got merged into Tuesday9 in the first place), but this music (the package also used on KSDK/WHO/WBBH/WTVO) could actually be Telesound. It shows up on the John Chancellor promo on their demo. I know Telesound advertised an NBC affiliate package. If it was indeed Telesound, I am thinking that Tuesday9, the WESH package, was "inspired by" this Telesound package.

KnoxvilleTVFan 286 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I don't know if this has been shared, but here is a WGRZ news intro from the 1980s with an unknown theme.

sfomspphl 490 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 It's not news, but close enough 1985 Donahue The transitions to and from commercials have more of the 1985-90 theme than I've seen anywhere else. Not sure why the full theme has remained so elusive for so long.

Samantha 2895 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 A great story from 1988 on the personal lives of local anchors in Chattanooga: Also, I think I hear WVII 1992 in the bumper at the end! And a super treat from Monroe: KNOE full 10pm newscast from 1979!

compubit 673 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Anybody catch the few frames of Rolland Smith after the "This is CBS" slide on the KNOE clip? Someone in NY didn't fully fade to black before WCBS started their news. I remember as a kid a couple of times when someone at KHOU was asleep at Master Control, and let a WCBS news break start during the 9:30pm CT local opt out, as well as an occasional WCBS/2 ID through. This usually happened on a Saturday or Sunday night - when the folks working weren't the station's "A-team".

Samantha 2895 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 KFMB "Say Hello" promo, 1985: Most of the material on the channel is sports, and for news it's mostly KFMB. Wow, that "tumbling News Eight" logo (which appears to be a model) lasted a while: 1983/4-88, possibly as far as 1990.

Samantha 2895 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 1991 is when the changeover happened to the next 8 logo that lasted to 2005. Actually it occurred by late in '90. There's a KFMB noon open in this Internet Archive clip from December 11, 1990. We also have a 5pm open with a slightly different animation from this era. There's a bump from break with a bit of another cut of the KFMB 1990/92 Silvertree theme in there as well. On the other hand, there's a non-NMSA theme for KFMB from 1992 that (I think you said) immediately followed the Silvertree theme. This theme is one of the few I assume Silvertree creation for because all four of its credited stations were listed in Silvertree's client list. Same for WDAF 1987.

I always remembered it being from Early 91. But not late 90. Probably changed over in time for the November sweeps that year. And yes, i was the one that mentioned about the unknown 92 theme. I'd have to say btw, that lasted about 18 months or less before NS2k+ showed up on scene.

jerseyfla 207 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Clips from a WFLA 1976 newscast on this channel. There is no open, but the close is included here: 11 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aIfHmQEEio/ I did not know what to think of that video of the Indy 500 that Milt Spencer presented. Was it about racing or softcore porn?!! Haha! That same person also uploaded 90% of that newscast later on in cellcam-o-vision. Also again we hear the NBC News Tabloid production music which makes you wonder if they used Part of Your Life as only an Image Campaign and not a news theme like they did with Turn To during the Power News era in the late 80s-early 90s. He also uploaded a set of 1983 Joe Mannion editorials https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkUx0Gcfp_c That's 3 different graphic variations of the editorial intro on YouTube during "The Spirit of Tampa Bay" era. 1982- Red, Green, and Blue pre-call letter change "Figure" 8 logo 1983- Flipping gold version of the "Figure" 8 1985- Gold "Figure" 8 with Blue background. It looks like that editorial video montage overlapped the beginning of the Power News era in Fall 1985 in one of the editorials showing Steve Andrews.
