  1. Lloyd Robertson's final newscast after 35 years at CTV, making him the longest-serving network news anchor in television history:
  2. Another vintage KTVF video, this time excerpts of an interview with civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks from 1996:
  3. KTVF news ID's from 1996: All I got to say is...FINALLY, SOME CLASSIC KTVF ON YOUTUBE!!!!!! Now if somebody can unearth more of these rare gems including from KATN (pre-ABC Alaska's Superstation) and the other Fairbanks stations!!!
  4. Mississippi ETV became MPB in 2005 and for countless years until he retired, Jack Schweitzer used to do the IDs/promos. But of course, MPB is also known for bringing Clyde Frog, Tomes & Talismans, and Ticktock Minutes into America's homes and classrooms.
  5. Too bad jacky9br's not based in New Orleans or the Mississippi Coast; we would've gotten gems from WYES, WLOX, or even Mississippi ETV (which are all sorely needed on YouTube)!
  6. And at the beginning of the video...a young Dan Roan (before he went to WGN)!
  7. Nightflightnj has unearthed more clips from WBNB, the long-defunct Virgin Islands CBS station
  8. At long last...the complete, short-lived 2001 open to CBC's "The National":
  9. In honor of Nancy O'Dell's departure from "Access Hollywood" on Friday: (she's at the 1:10 mark)
  10. Nightflightnj has some visual remnants of WBNB. You know, the Virgin Islands CBS station which was destroyed by Hurricane Hugo 20 years ago?
  11. A KSPR (Springfield, Mo.) Newsteam 33 promo from 1990 with Mark Steines pre-"Entertainment Tonight":
  12. Future Alaska Governor Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Heath (Palin) doing the sports on KTUU from 1988!!!!

  23. The open to CTV National News from May 15, 2007: If I were you, I would use KeepVid to download it RIGHT NOW before it gets "the message" (you know, the "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by CTV Inc." message)!! UPDATE: It's still there! Jonathan Allen
  24. Thanks...dunno that much about Canadian television. Still an interesting capsule of time. And, at the time, CBC's flagship newscast was the ill-fated "Prime Time News" with Peter Mansbridge and Pamela Wallin. "The National" was still on the air, but on Newsworld. PTN was at 9:00 pm opposite very heavy competition on CTV and the U.S. networks, while The National was still at 10:00 pm. Later in the fall, PTN returned to 10:00 with Mansbridge as solo anchor. In the fall of 1995, after slumping ratings, CBC ended the pain once and for all by firing Wallin and returning The National back to the mother network where it belonged. Jonathan Allen
