bmasters1 238 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 KOUS 1982 News 4 opening (this from the former small-market NBC station of Billings/Hardin, MT [licensed to Hardin] that is now Fox4 KHMT in that area) What I especially liked about this one is the announcer's spiel (announcer as yet unknown): "News 4...with Ed Connors...Ric Bramble...Russ Riesinger on sports...and Barry Walcott on weather." 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Info Junkie 1,272 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I’d like to add KOIN’s 2000 graphics made by Giant Octopus. @ColDayNews you were right, GO kicked butt in its early days. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bmasters1 238 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Bumping this up: KXXV Channel 25 (ABC Waco/Temple/Killeen, TX): 1988 10 P.M. opening for Eyewitness News 25 Tonight; at the beginning of this KXXV montage from user kyndle hewett (0:06 mark); what I like about this one is the same one I liked about that KOUS opening I put here before (namely, the billing): "Now, Eyewitness News 25 Tonight...with Ric Streed and Mary Rogers on news...meteorologist Stu Bowersox with your Central Texas forecast...and sports director Ray Peters with more than the score. This is the late-breaking edition of Eyewitness News 25." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iron_lion 140 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) Favorite Openings: WSVN 1993, flashy tabloid awesomeness! WSVN 1995: Equal flashiness! WNBC had a great jazzy redesign in the late 80s early 90s. Great quality for the 80s and very New York City oriented. WNBC 4 in the mid to late 80s, featuring the signature lightning bolt striking the four logo. Their graphics prior to this were great as well Finally, IMO the last decent graphics package The Today Show had, from 2009 Edited November 19, 2020 by iron_lion 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bmasters1 238 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 At the 3:33 mark of this WCBS opens omnibus, an opening from that NYC CBS O&O w/Palmer that I commend highly for the announcer and opening (announcement is different from the "Anything Can Happen In New York" spiel): the evening edition from around '85 or '86... "Channel 2 News at 6...with Jim Jensen, Rolland Smith, Warner Wolf on sports, and Dr. Frank Field with weather." 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

iron_lion 140 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 (edited) WSVN Again! This short lived, car racing video game sounding theme from 1998. Starts at 0:10 WSVN 1991. I love the striking cord when at the start of their promo (0:00) and the news theme at (2:20) Edited March 7 by iron_lion Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bmasters1 238 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 WCVB Boston NewsCenter 5 Tonight late edition billing, Aug. 3, 1998... "You're watching NewsCenter 5 Tonight...coverage you can count on...with Chet Curtis...Natalie Jacobson...meteorologist Dick Albert...and Mike Lynch on sports."
