WTVD Eyewitness News Open - Early 1970s:

 

 

 

Watching that one made me feel like I was watching the beginning to a movie at the theater. I was waiting for the "Turn Cell Phones Off" and "Candy and Drinks at the Concession Stand" to come up. :-p

Yeah, the 70s CapCities MCTYW open style (used on WKBW, WTVD, KFSN, and I assume KTRK as well) was really really cool...

 

I don't think KTRK had that style of open... Most of the stuff I've seen from the mid-to-late 70's is basically studio shots of the personalities as the V/O mentions them or various shots of Houston leading into the studio shot.

I'm sure WPVI also used these opens as well but found more success in the late 70s with the sights and people of Philadelphia which everyone knows is still used to this day.

Check out the groovy opening theme. Also note that longtime WPSD-Paducah Chief Meteorologist Cal Sisto is mentioned.

 

 

Terri Smith is now morning co-anchor, Dick Rice is still the Chief Meteorologist (though, I think he is about to retire soon) and both Cathy Nash and Will Kohlmeyer are gone.

 

 

This is the same studio set as the September open, but they weren't quite ready to debut the video wall two months earlier. Incidently, the video wall is still being used at WTVA though mostly for sports and the weekend newscasts.

 

Some other clips from WTVA are more religious in nature and are from their morning show show Mornin' starring Kay Bain and her late husband Buddy ranging from the early 1990s to Christmas 2006 (Mornin' was retitled The Morning Show in late 2005/early 2006, Buddy passed away in 1997) and is co-hosted by Kay Bain, Terry Smith and Kelli Cook. Mornin'/The Morning Show has been a WTVA staple since fall, 1978 and is still more a music/variety show than a straight newscast.

Yeah!! Cal Sisto! The most boring meterologist alive!
