What's on tonight's KTLA News at Ten in 1988?

It's Dan Greene and Dina Ruiz in the tease... Dina was Clint Eastwoods last wife.

With all of the focus on Central Arizona, I needed to throw in a few Northern Arizona pieces! (And for the 7 of you who already found the newscasts, they have been "fixed", if you understand what I mean...)

KOMO News 4 teaser from 1993:

LOL. Sad as it may be, so many people still don’t realize that PR is a part of the U.S. even if it’s not geographically connected. Hawaii too

Sad fact is most TV news operations don't actually own and operate the drones... Most stations and networks farm the stuff out to stringers and other outside operators. Why??? LIABILITY reasons.

Never knew "Primetime News" began in 1991. I guess they debuted it once David Finfrock took over?

Compared to the current NY1 graphics I like News 12 better in that dept Fios 1 is eh

Here's a WKBW promo with Paul Turner, around the time Granite was beginning to ruin the station's legacy.

FINALLY! I've only seen that logo once before — a one-second billboard shot in KCNC's The Big Switch special. (No, seriously!) It was ditched when KNXV became the full ABC affiliate just months later. Apparently the GMA promo is not alluding to KTVK airing GMA out of pattern. For whatever reason, KNXV began airing the show on an hour delay when it was picked up in late August and was only able to clear it in pattern by the time this aired.

Saw some snippets of News 12 Bronx today they seem to cover the Bronx alright

It seems simple, if you don’t have cable or don’t have an Internet TV subscription. I’ll rather go watch cable news if I wanted national news, not from a local news station that wouldn’t get everything.

This one has to sneak in there... [MEDIA=vimeo]237344183[/MEDIA]

I'm a big fan of that rotating 10 above the cement pillar. If there was one thing to steal from there, it'd be that. LOL.

There was a hand painted sign on the fence that surrounded the KGTV heliport "Sky-10 Heliport"... Over the years it faded.. I so wanted to steal that sign.

I recall that KGTV was testing out a drone about 3-4 years back when they canned their own helicopter. Nothing ever materialized from that test. So they were left S.O.L.; No chopper and no drone... But they did get a new nifty SKY 10 animation a few years back, for a chopper that no longer exists.

To be fair, any station can afford a drone. KBEX has owned and operated it's own drone since 1973. Our gas operated drone scares the SH*T out of the competition....and birds.

Some WUHF promos from 1985, using Turn To!

Don't they get creamed by KRGV in the ratings anyway?

WBBM, Chicago; 5 p.m. news, 2002:

Ah, that makes sense! I thought it was the generic title of all their weekend newscasts.

ABC's Weekend Report was the 15-minute late night newscast offered by the network at that time. It was axed in the early 1990s, but I don't remember very well when.
