An Anglia News special in 1998 with a behind-the-scenes look at its news service. The newsrooms of the two regions (east and west) were combined and shared content. Sharon Grey (later with ITN) was reading news for Anglia at the time. Intro and headlines of the evening edition of 24 Horas in May 2010, presented by Monica Perez and Amaro Gomez-Pablos. Gomez-Pablos has been one of the most discriminated journalists in Chile because of his Spanish origins. He was criticized permanently for speaking in his native accent. Both Perez and Gomez-Pablos are no longer with TVN. A news update from Canal 13 on May 25, 2003, the day when President Néstor Kirchner was sworn in. A tired Luis Otero presents this update from the station's empty newsroom at around 11pm on a Sunday night. I assume most staffers showed up to work later in the morning!

Thanks for clarifying it!

Mike Lynch is retiring this summer, and one of the best ways to celebrate his career is with this well-remembered campaign called "I Like Mike" from the late 1980s/early 1990s. I can't believe he's leaving WCVB.

A small post with some sign-offs from around the world. Let's start with LWT, ITV's old weekend London franchise in the 1980s. I love the remainder from the announcers to turn off the TV sets. Was it that because some people left them on during the night? Television Nacional de Chile (TVN) closes down for the day in August 1993, right after an episode of Tales from the Darkside, with pictures of Chile's most beautiful landscapes. The sign-off message is voiced by its legendary announcer Fernando Solís. ABN2 in Sydney signs off in 1987 with footage of Australia's largest city and a brief check of the next day's evening lineup! ZDF closing down in 1993, with an energic announcer repeating several times that the station is off the air. And finally, a modern sign-off message from Canal 13 in 2004, where the station's personalities were in charge of saying goodnight to the viewers.

Most of the early evening edition (7pm) of Telefe Noticias in September 1990, anchored by Juan Carlos Perez Loizeau and Rosario Lufrano.

An abbreviated edition of the BBC's early evening news from May 9, 1989, with Nicholas Witchell. The evening bulletins were shorter than usual due to industrial action, and both aired at their regular times (6pm and 9pm). A short regional roundup from Look East follows the national news.

A full edition of TG1 in February 1987, read by Giulio Borrelli. An old segment of STV's Scotland Today in 1984 (the opener is not included) The program shot its stories on 16mm film at the time, and didn't transition to videotape cameras until the end of the decade. Opening minutes of ZDF's Heute Journal from November 1996.

WBBM's morning newscast premiered on August 12, 1996. Before that, channel 2 used to air Rush Limbaugh at 6am, CBS Morning News at 6:30 and This Morning at 7. When the show began, Rush Limbaugh and CBS News were moved to 5 and 5:30 respectively, followed by the news at 6am and This Morning at 8. https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1996-08-09-9608090214-story.html

Opening minutes of the Sunday evening edition of 24 Horas with Carolina Jimenez (July 20, 1997). At the time, TVN had the most-watched news service in Chile. The station could recover its destroyed reputation in the early 1990s and surpassed Canal 13-UCTV as the news leader. I always loved the music theme used here in the opener! Katie Derham presents the news from ITN on May 4, 1998 (May Day bank holiday) A full broadcast of ORF's Zeit im Bild from July 1996 with reader Liliane Roth-Rothenhorst. A news update from Telenoche in September 1998 reporting on the death of Sarah Ferguson's mother, Susan Barrantes. This update aired during the weekend and it was voiced by reporter Diego Moran. This update was the only way to keep viewers up to date with weekend events because the station didn't have newscasts on Saturdays on Sundays.

Intro and partial segment of the Sunday edition of Teletrece in June 1986, read by Augusto Gatica (he was a staff announcer at the station and used to voice IDs and promos as well). The intro also included the stations where the program was being relayed. Clock, headlines and intro of Rede Globo's Jornal Nacional in July 1984 with Cid Moreira and Celso Freitas. A full broadcast of the late edition of Westcountry News from 1996, read by Linda Ward. National forecast and closer of Telefe Noticias in 1993, with Rosario Lufrano and Carlos Asnaghi.

A full edition of Tagesschau from June 3, 1998, read by Susan Stahnke. A segment of Telefe Noticias in November 1997, anchored by Rosario Lufrano, with a report on an armed robbery. Thanks to the "magic" of the editors, that tragic story is turned into a "cinematic", dramatic event. At the time, it was unusual to air reports with background music. A compilation of the news intros of RTBF in Belgium from 1976 until 2017:

Most of an edition of New Zealand's TV2 Eyewitness News in 1986 with Angela D'Audney in Auckland and Lindsay Perigo in Wellington. Also from 1986: an excerpt of HSV7's former current affairs show Day by Day, hosted by Mark Day. The show was canceled in 1987 when HSV7 was purchased by Fairfax.

NBC's Today Show's visit to Buenos Aires in February 1986 made headlines in the city. Here's a report from Franco Salomone (then with Canal 9's Nuevediario) where he interviews hosts Willard Scott, Jane Pauley and Bryant Gumbel. I just realized that I didn't post it on the International section. Sorry about that.

A snippet of the KNBC Newservice's sign-off edition in 1972.

An old ID from WNDS in Derry, NH in the late 1990s, when the station's slogan was "The Winds of New England". Includes the intros of TV classics Ironside and The Bold Ones. An old intro of an Argentine variety show called Estudio Philips, that aired on ATC in 1984, presented by Uruguayan broadcaster Juan Carlos Mareco. The studio orchestra was conducted by Raúl Parentella, who also composed a couple of news themes. Ironically, the program's intro was voiced by Daniel Ruiz, Canal 13's main announcer since 1974. CFCF in Montreal signing off in 1985.

A closer from Les Nouvelles TVA in 1985 with Jacques Moisan. Plus, the full theme used by the newscast in the early 1980s! A promo and a CFTM news update in December 1988. Ici Montreal was the name of the local newscasts that aired on CFTM at the time.

An "emotional" promo of Grupo Clarín to promote the launch of its new logo in May 2000. Clarín is the largest media conglomerate in Argentina: it owns several TV stations, a cable company, newspapers, magazines and radio stations. This commercial aired on Canal 13, owned by Clarín itself!

First minutes of TVA's Les Nouvelles in September 1983. No intro and no music: it goes straight to the presentation of the first story from anchor Jacques Moisan, similar to the CBS Evening News at the time. Also from September 1983, it's Radio-Canada's Le Téléjournal with Jean Ducharme. ATN7's weekend edition of Seven National News with Paul Marshall from May 1983.
