This video begins with a WVEC promo from the 1980s, Take it to the top (portions are cut out, unfortunately). I'm certain it's misdated and is actually from 1983 judging from a tractor pull event advertised at the end - May 20 & 21 were a Friday/Saturday, since 1984 was a leap year and Sunday/Monday wouldn't make sense for such an event. WVEC was using different campaigns after this, For People Like You in 1984 and Spirit of Hampton Roads in 1985.

A few newscast airchecks I uncovered from Eastern NC. WNCT 11pm newscast from 2001 WCTI 11pm newscast, 2004 The latter half of a WNCT newscast from 2004, weeks away from switching over to the Media General 'crescent' graphics & Wall to Wall News. While the main set was getting a refresh, they were on the Fox 8/14 set temporarily with modifications... I think I figured out the reason for the odd handcuffs background. They were doing a heavy crime-focused series at the time, "Crime and Punishment" as mentioned by Marti Skold at the end of the broadcast.

WWAY commercials and news open from November 1995. Similar intro to the one WILX had at the time which was loosely based off of KGO.

About friggin time. WSET was using the former WJLA set from 1995 that was handed down to them in 2001, with few changes since. And that set replaced another hand-me-down from WJLA (the ca. 1989 set that went to WSET in 1997)

Commercials and promos during WBTW’s morning news ca. February 1997. Sure wish more of the news broadcast was uploaded!

KYW 11pm newscast with Larry Kane, July 18, 1994

RARE short-lived WBTV 11pm news open from October 24, 1998, a matter of days before the debut of the 'busty 3' logo.

In the 90s? It's STILL being used by car dealers I've heard some dealership in Florence or Conway, SC using it on radio spots in the past couple years

First 15 minutes of WVEC’s “Good Morning” news program with John Miller and Karen Jones from April 9, 1996 (date on title is incorrect)

WRAZ news promos and open from 2000

Negative for Van Nuys on VO. Pretty sure it’s a local guy, but don’t know who it is.

WVEC 11pm news open ca. 1985 or 1986. Likely one of the earliest opens with Turn To because Len Randolph is featured.

Another to add... LoConte Goldman. Work includes the original Hearst package in 1995 and WTKR's 1994 "TV-3 News" look.

First half of WAVY’s 11pm news, 5/7/92

I think it's important to point out Vimeo is designed for film & video industry professionals, filmmakers, etc. to showcase their work/portfolios. it wouldn't surprise me at all if they pulled such content from their platform.

Beginning of a WVEC weekend 6pm newscast from June 1988, the lead story being the implosion of the First American Bank building in Downtown Norfolk Weather forecasts from legendary Tidewater forecasters Andy Roberts (WTKR) and Joe Foulkes (WVEC) from 1986 and 1988, respectively

From Charlotte... full WSOC-produced 10pm newscast on WCCB in 1994

This KWTV theme reeks of VTS now that I'm hearing more of it. @TServo2049 do you have any info on this one?

Longtime anchor Nicole Boone retired from her full-time position at WBTW this week. She will return on occasion as a special events anchor. https://www.wbtw.com/thank-you-nicole/thank-you-nicole-the-farewell-speech/

WECT got Gray'd

KLAS news from 1989. Not sure what news theme this is. There are a few other Las Vegas newscasts on this channel.

I'm trying to identify a theme that isn't on the NMSA... yet. It's the music WBTW was using in 1985. I think it's a production track. It sounds a bit like Network Music, but I can't find anything from their albums on the Universal site. It was used in the opens too.
