  1. He has a little more. WMAZ 1991 with KSD 1981:
  2. That's Shelly Palmer's "Brave New World". They use the second theme in KMTV's NMSA sample (my personal favorite, by the way) on evening newscasts. (EDIT: Whoops, thought you were referring to the morning clip that's currently at the top. I now realize I was just stating the obvious there...sorry.) I don't know when they picked it up, but I'd guess it was within the last 3 to 4 years. And now, my own request: can anyone identify this theme? I've had a special attachment to it for years (don't ask me why), and have always wondered who did it. I'd imagine it was a local composer - perhaps the same person who did their current theme?
  3. Nice to see a longer sample of the Discover the Difference open. I had a feeling there was more to it... Also, I think I remember posting that WHP video earlier. Great finds are posted alike, I guess.
  4. VARTV is reporting that WVEC will soon launch a 4 PM newscast. This comes on the heels of WAVY's new 4 PM show, which launches Monday. No word yet on when the new show will debut, or who will anchor it.
  5. More UCSF. Asterisks denote new (to me) themes/cuts: WESH 12 PM, 1989: https://archive.org/details/tobacco_lnp91f00 HUGE reel from 1989. WFSB, KYW, WPLG, WLVI, KCOP, KUSA, KGO, and WTOG all make appearances. Highlights include a new WFSB theme, a "hybrid" KYW open (watch and you'll see what I mean), a sloppily edited KCOP open (or is it a sloppily edited tape?), and Tampa Bay Tonight with Centerpiece (perhaps they flipped directly from this to the early 90s theme?). https://archive.org/details/tobacco_var91f00* KGTV's Inside San Diego, 1988: https://archive.org/details/tobacco_xty27a00* KMBC 6 PM, 1987: https://archive.org/details/tobacco_cww27a00 WDAF 6 AM, 1990: https://archive.org/details/tobacco_tvx27a00* WDAF 12 PM and 5 PM, 1992: https://archive.org/details/tobacco_ery27a00 KSDK Midday AM, 1983: https://archive.org/details/tobacco_nkw27a00* KSDK 6 AM, 1991: https://archive.org/details/tobacco_oxx27a00 KSDK 6 AM, 1989: https://archive.org/details/tobacco_uox27a00 Also, a ticker can be briefly heard in this KTVI clip from 1988: https://archive.org/details/tobacco_xxw27a00
  6. I don't know. Maybe somebody didn't want to be on camera?
  7. Continuing with the UCSF collection... WRGB noon & 6:30 with a theme I don't recognize, 1987: https://archive.org/details/tobacco_ctw27a00 Noon news from D.C. and Baltimore. WBAL's Great News/Pride Inside combo, a new cut of The News Leader, and a short open with WMAR 1985 are featured. 1986: https://archive.org/details/tobacco_qhx27a00 WFSB 5:30 talent open, 1992: https://archive.org/details/tobacco_xqy27a00 WFSB 5:00 open, 1988: https://archive.org/details/tobacco_ccx27a00 WXYZ 5:00 PM, followed by...WGPR NewScope! 1986: https://archive.org/details/tobacco_ohx27a00 WBAL's 5:30 Live with a new cut of what sounds like the Great News/Pride Inside combo, along with clips from WUSA (generic EWN open), WRC (new cut of the 1986 theme), and WTTG (nice model flyover with the Metromedia theme). 1986, I think: https://archive.org/details/tobacco_shx27a00
  8. Well, since Pensacola just came up...WBRZ 1985 is an unnamed theme by Terry Sweet & Associates, according to the uploader of all those clips featuring WEAR using it.
  9. This is...I don't know how to describe it, just watch. KQDS, Duluth/Superior. (Thumpity bump bump) [yt]ZK6ZPbkQq2A[/yt]
  10. I was wondering when they'd step up to the plate and do this. Supposedly 3 blows everyone else out of the water ratings-wise at 4. Then again, they say they blow everyone else out of the water everywhere else, too.
  11. This seems to be inspired by a mix of the early 80s Corinthian look (gradient lines) and the "And You" look (text - do we have a proper name for this?). And it's incredibly well-done. I have some finds of my own (date guesstimation where needed): WHEC using PNP on a wet morning in 1988: https://archive.org/details/tobacco_erw27a00 "Newsight 21" on WHP at about 13:25 with a new theme, dated as 1989: https://archive.org/details/tobacco_iar91f00 Another new WHP theme, along with a WHTM open, probably 1990ish: https://archive.org/details/tobacco_zxx27a00 Cold WCAX open from 1989: https://archive.org/details/tobacco_mqx27a00 WSMV with The Diary and "The Channel 4 News" branding, probably 1994, along with a WTVF open: https://archive.org/details/tobacco_pqy27a00 KTBC talent open with Yours Truly, 1989: https://archive.org/details/tobacco_ynp91f00 WTEN short open with PNP, followed by AM Buffalo on WKBW, dated as 1989: https://archive.org/details/tobacco_mar91f00 ...wait, it's 11:40? Boy, this is addictive.
  12. I'm beginning to think that WBMG was using this when they restarted their news department in '87. That open screams mid-80s small market/low-budget to me.
  13. The music used in this sounds an awful lot like ...I smell production music.
  14. Good heavens...how low can WWBT go in the graphics department?
