24994J, I'm OBSESSED with your new avatar. That is all. Thank you.

Hey, here's an old ABC 7 News, This Morning talent bump from '99! Took years to find this but there ya go!

I would assume the same, and given its age, it would probably be one of the first priorities (after WOIO which needed more than a graphical change).

2001: A portion of a WTVJ-produced WSFL (nee WBZL) newscast that used the late 90s - early '00s WB look as its graphics.

I've read old newspaper articles about it. Pretty much 3rd place except for a brief year or so around 1985, another blip around 1988, and then became a real #1/#2 in the market around 1995 when NBC went on a streak, they cleaned up the presentation, and Pete Wilson / Pam Moore were the leads.

Was KRON always considered the also-ran of the market? From clips on YT, it looks like they pulled off a valiant effort in the early-mid '80s.

60 Minutes 1974 Local News War in San Francisco

Is your life missing TWO FULL HOURS of KDBC from 1989? I've got just the thing for you! And it comes with two newscasts! "Live at 5" newscast begins at :54 and features an unknown theme. The 6pm open is at 59:25 and has *another theme*. And neither of them are what they used in 1990! The 5pm close uses VTS's That's the Spirit (commissioned by WYFF). There are Spirit of El Paso IDs throughout. This is the first time I've seen KDBC with that image, first time I've seen it on a newscast, and just the third station I know to have used it (KTVL).

I have a special treat for all of you this evening, because I have a *VERY RARE* look at KRDO from 1980 in the form of a news montage. KRDO's logo looks something like what WVEC in Norfolk used at the time. Please watch, because it has a ID and news open included at the beginning along with a news set that has been used at KATV in Little Rock and other stations. Oh wait...here is KRDO two years earlier in 1978. Yes, KRDO used the ABC News Theme by Score Productions to open its newscast.

Just dawned on me the last notes of the News Series signature represent 'Sevens on the move.'
