circa 2005-6 (Evolution era, followed by some excellent talent station IDs)

An unaired 1980 WFAA promo that the public never got to see until it popped up on YouTube. Well done for the time.

That WBBM "Nobody Does It Better" promo from the 70s... there's a video on YouTube but it's not very good quality.

 

I love this KWTV promo, very well-produced spot, a realistic approach: [yt]2Z_ayei8EPQ[/yt]

 

Without a doubt, this WBNS promo that aired during last year's Super Bowl:

There are definitely more, including numerous image campaign songs...

At the end of this montage clip from KDFW's 1997 9pm news is an image promo for the 10pm newscast featuring longtime KDFW star anchor and North Texas TV news goddess Clarice Tinsley, who has been with the station literally since the late 70s.

You kids and your serious, slick news promos.

 

I'll take one of those horribly cheesy 1980s WPVI Action News promos any day.

And if you think they've moved beyond these... I managed to catch a brand new general Action News promo that fits riiiiiight in with these.

Some of my favorites:

 

Mid-late 1980s WAVY Promo

2004 WVEC "Daybreak" Promo (from when "Spirit of Hampton Roads" slogan was revived)

1979/80 KYW "Direct Connection" Promo (so bad, it's good; apparently bundled with other promos for the station)
