That video screen has been inoperable more than it has been operational (over the years) that there's no point in having it on.

Try telling that to WTOV in Steubenville, who continued using it until late 1987!

WTSP 11:00 news clip from January 2001. Pretty interesting as this was when Tampa was hosting the Super Bowl. WTSP was badly in need of an overhaul at this point. In April, they debuted a new set and graphics. There was a promo from early 2001 I wish I could find where they highlighted the upgrades.

WTSP "NewsCenter 10" update 1991:

WCAU 1985 Move Bombing (audio only coverage) 1994 KFOR promos 1990 KAUT FOX 43 sign off KTSM 1995 Newscast If you're wondering what the earliest instances of the CBS news special report graphics look like in '97 look no further WUAB 1991 Newscast

As late as November 1986, WESH had still not yet used the new NBC peacock:

Here's the end of KGW's broadcast day for February 12-13, 1982, which includes an audio only news update, followed by the sign-off itself, with the national anthem used at WOIO/WTGI/WGHP and other TVbD stations (could it possibly from the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra?)

Bah, I like that new WKYC logo. It's simple and to the point, tells you everything you need to know. Hey, when you see that 3, you know it's coming direct from Cleveland. You know what's boring? Those blue-and-white Circle 7s, those suckers are everywhere. You see one of those, it could coming from any of the nine zillion Channel 7s around the nation that were too lazy to come up with something unique. And since I had no clue what the current WKYC logo looked like, I went to their website. It looks like a ne'er-do-well 3 leaning against a wall while a shady peacock looks around the corner for unsuspecting rubes to mug. Hardly trustworthy, I'd say.

10 minutes of a WTAE newscast from January 20, 1980, the night the Pittsburgh Steelers won their fourth Super Bowl. Most of the open included too. At the end you see part of KDKA’s news open from that same night, which KDKA posted on their own website 10 years ago. Which was the last time the Steelers won a Super Bowl.

Only now that they can't buy Trib.

Finally, a proper WSLS open with the Park JDK theme... from March of 1989:

Charlie VanDyke narrates WRGB's 60th anniversary special from 1988. Sad to see that such an important station is now just another jewel in Sinclair's crown!

And if you've ever wondered how the people at KTVK felt about ABC yanking its affiliation from the station, here's your answer:

I wouldn't normally put an edition of Inside Edition Weekend in here, but it was taped off KYW on September 10, 1995... Several "Keep Your Eye On KYW" promos and this news promo:

Some WNYT from 1988 (!!!!) - with We Know What Matters scattered around, and a news brief anchored by a young Benita Zahn and a dark-haired Bob Kovachick. Sadly, no open.

Most of a KNXT/Los Angeles newscast from 1983:

Here’s a treat. WTVF circa 1977. Equipment bloopers. A very Scrippsy set decades before they’d actually own this station. There’s Chris Clark, of course; and, is that Dave Kaylor in Music City?!

Even more 9/11 broadcast. WBOY WCYB, Tri cities TN WOOD/WZZM Grand rapids MI Tulsa, mainly KOTV KNTV, San Jose Oakland San Francisco WFAA Dallas Ft. worth

KVOA/Tucson, AZ in 1989: KTAB/Abilene, TX on 9/11/01:
