Hey everyone, As you know, the channel that you saw the old news opens etc, have been changing directions, so with that in mind here's the same WNBC 1995 open in HD/Smooth Frame Video

Thank you Samantha. I've picked up on the following: *The synthesized and Timpani drums *The 3-5 vocal chorus Both are in fact signatures of Otis Connor as used on Wipeout and WODS-FM in Boston ("Drake Series '88" and '89 packages)

Sorry for bumping the thread, but I can actually confirm (via Twitter), that Otis Conner did in fact compose the "Catch the Excitement" jingle for WXXA-TV in Albany.

Hi there, original poster of the tribute. David Downs' channel had over 25 million views alone, so this news is still heartbreaking to say the least. Please keep his family and GF Amanda in your thoughts.

I guess for now, the CW is stuck with WSFL, even if CBS decides to do something with CW on WBFS or something....

Right. It's as if the Jodi Applegate/Bill Carey era of WPIX was a blank slate.

Good luck with that. That's like telling McDonalds to have some local flavor to it. If it's corporate it's corporate.

To be quite frank, speaking of Tegna, I’d rather have them do a ownership swap a la Cox/Fox with WFXT/KTVU with CBS to get WFOR out of its misery.

There are no words. RIP.

Shouldn't surprise me at all. I'm cool with the guy now since I gave him blessings to use some of the older stuff, but at the same time I totally agree with you. I know because when he first started out he carbon-copied my channel and people were confused and I called him out on it.

A treat for the TVNT fans, before @SoFloTVClassics drops it! Happy Thanksgiving Weekend! WPLG "Eyewitness News at 11pm" for Monday January 20, 1992 and WTVJ "Channel 4 News" Open for Wednesday July 10, 1991 (includes a Lottery Drawing)

Somehow the correct track for the RAI Telegionale 2 Theme and the KABC track was this @ the 2:46 mark:

Sure doesn’t sound like it. I’m specifically looking for the brass intro used on RAI’s TG2 news open.

Was that the theme to the TG2/KABC theme? I'm looking everywhere!

I know its not a news open, but is it me or the WXXA promo jingle sounds more like an Otis Connor track?

I had to correct myself, this was at least the 3rd or 4th week of the WB Network's launch. And yes, the station still branded themselves as TV56 before it went full WB56....by 1996 I guess?

Sometimes it's good to pass it on, since one of our friends here posted up the vids, it's time to share the favor: A rare look at THE Ten O'Clock News (formerly The News at Ten) off WLVI-TV56 in Boston in 1995, Week 3 of the then-new WB network.

Just wanted to make sure it stays true to how it was presented back in the day. Too many channels don't take care of the videos well.

As well as a news update that I found. Thanks so much for supporting the endavors!

Thanks so much!

Since we're on that subject matter, I was wondering if anyone knows the stock music for the movie intro. (I know it's not a news theme, but screw it.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=C7JbKrRCIeo;t=48

Wow! I'd never known that. And yes, those uploads were from my YT channel.

That was the moment. Even everyone's surely aware this is all for clicks and ratings. :|

Eat has a point. All publicity is indeed good publicity. The truth of the matter is that MK Today had to take the low road in terms of responding to a reaction to a certain actress. Sadly that crosses the line. For me, this would have been the point of no return by airing a local newscast at 9am a la WHDH when they were ready to preempt Jay Leno's show for it's newscast. (I know it didn't happen, but lets say it did.)

CTV's "Tuned into You" Campaign spots from 1990. (IMO, one of the best campaigns from our neighbor to the North!)
