  1. Looks like ‘BZ wants to join in on posting classic commercials too.
  2. The earliest instance of “Good evening, friends” found thus far. 1976, massive truck accident involving 7500 gallons of ammonia. It got reuploaded earlier in the month, but this case, you hear Dave teasing the “film stories” with Move Closer playing.
  3. Gord and Anne, circa May 2008.
  4. “Live, Local, Latebreaking. 12 News is Everywhere!” (WISN maybe 1996...or 1997)
  5. Weird indeed. But there’s a story there.
  6. The Hambricks, as well; Farmer Sr. and Jr. at WSB; and the Warmoths here (dad on WFTV, son on WKMG)
  7. WKMG uses their daytime shots for the weeknight talent opens. (Though they have proper nighttime shots for the weekends)
  8. Fire the entire graphics department.
  9. Everybody knows Space Station HBO. It’s one of those sequences that really needs no introduction. Even the network itself has it on their YouTube page. Then in 1999, as stop motion animation was seen as dated (with the exception of “Chicken Run”), a new sequence emerged. From the theater to the small town, the tundra, the desert, and back into the city, it’s won over its share of viewers too. Then came 2011. Things got muted. Extravagance was dulled in favor of and . Until last year. With the introduction of the “HBO in Focus” motif (see any one of their current promos), a new Feature Presentation sequence was created, with a couple notable callbacks, and that classic 12-note signature as loud and proud as ever.
  10. As far as Big 13, I’m surprised they held out on a 4:00 as long as they did.
  11. Dateline - 2008. KTVU hits the big 50!
  12. New from Radioman: October 1990: The Briarcliff Mansion (otherwise known as WAGA) puts on a new news set for Eyewitness News. While the opening was clipped, everything to the close - in all its early 90’s sluttiness - is there. New Years Eve 1993: The last of John Pruitt on 11Alive (it was that weird period when the Alive was out). Note he didn’t say retirement - he said resignation. The exact phrase: “The day will come when ”.
  13. (Paywall alert) https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/15/technology/fcc-sinclair-ajit-pai.html This speaks for itself.
  14. They are doubling down to no end. New promos out that showcases just the three.
  15. CITYPULSE! (2001. Unfortunately, close was clipped)
  16. Officially official. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/john-dickerson-cbs-this-morning-new-co-host-announced-today/
  17. https://www.today.com/news/hoda-kotb-joins-savannah-guthrie-co-anchor-today-show-t120679?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma No changes in the 4th hour.
  18. December 4th. One more week. EDIT - More info. Aside from the refreshed logo, it doesn't seem like there'll be much dramatic change (see attached video).
  19. Full sample up on the NMSA. Needless to say, this is a good sound. (And yes, confirmed that KSAZ was leading the charge)
  20. Confirmed. EDIT: The new music package, according to NMSA, is called “Beyond”.
  21. After looking through these newly uploaded vintage KSAZ opens, it's evident they're REALLY holding on to the mid-90s (that font). Here's today's Good Day Orlando opens. It's definitely evident this is a new Arnold pack. The rollout, if this is strictly O&O, is unknown.
