TServo2049 81 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Why does it also remind me of WPTA from back then? Similar graphics and name. They were sister stations from 1973-89 (first under Combined, then Gannett, then Pulitzer - who owned them at the time of this clip). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWUpdate 1290 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 KTVK (then still an ABC affiliate) was anchored live from Chicago during the 1993 NBA finals -- here's a report showing how the remote broadcast was carried out: [MEDIA=vimeo]75368900[/MEDIA] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRolyPoly 1844 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lq8ZidTFexE 1993 WSOC Charlotte 5:30 P.M. Eyewitness News closing (What is the name of the music that is playing here? It sounds great). According to NMSA, the WNDU 1991 News Theme by Collier Concepts. Its weird because it says that WSOC used it from 1985-1996. It also mentions WROC using it from 1990-1991, before WNDU starting using it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2878 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 According to NMSA, the WNDU 1991 News Theme by Collier Concepts. Its weird because it says that WSOC used it from 1985-1996. It also mentions WROC using it from 1990-1991, before WNDU starting using it. There were at least three revisions of the package as used by WSOC, and VTS is responsible for some of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TServo2049 81 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Yeah, Collier Concepts came up with the original promotional imaging, but I don't know if they directly produced even the original music. Tom (eyeontv) Buckley told me his reel-to-reel tape copy of the WDVM music said Frank Becker Music on it. So my guess is that Collier Concepts *commissioned* the original music package from Becker? And yes, what I recall Hal Brown telling me was that VTS licensed that music for a syndicated package, I swear he did say he remembered WSOC when I asked if it was for WSOC. I will have to ask him again sometime. Either way, it all being under Collier Concepts for now isn't wholly inaccurate, though maybe in the future, if all the information is actually nailed down, I could ask NMSA to see if they would split the original (Frank Becker-produced?) campaign music and the (almost certainly VTS-produced?) syndicated news package.

Samantha 2878 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 This channel has a near-complete set of CHRO (Ottawa) opens. Probably my favorite, though, is this one, with a really underrated theme used by several of the NewNet stations: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmasters1 377 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 WLS Chicago Eyewitness News late edition from 3/6/87; listen at the top as Jerry Taft (in for Steve Deshler) is billed "on weather," and Tim Weigel is billed "with sports" (normally, these would be reversed, as the weatherman would be billed "with weather," and the sports anchor "on sports").

WWUpdate 1290 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 On today's date in 1994, American Eagle Flight 4184 crashed on approach to Chicago's O'Hare Airport in terrible weather; heavy icing was to blame.

Samantha 2878 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 WPRI in 1986 with morning excerpts (4:35).

Samantha 2878 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 WPXI, "The First Edition: 5:30 Live", 1983. A very tightly formatted newscast, by the looks of it. Also, TuesdayC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=law7zJ0GXQU WSYX "Good Morning Columbus" in 1988. The surprise here is the Spirit of Ohio jingle ID!

Samantha 2878 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 A chunk of WFMJ from 1989. The theme is unknown but makes more sense than the NBC Affiliate Package (which I believe is from 1992) in 1989. And WSFA in 1979: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2878 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 WSAV in 1985. Some very subtle TVbD influence, surprising for 1985!: WJTV in 1991. This is a cut of the CBS Television You Can Feel theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smhcTdf_oXY KHJ in 1986, a news tease with the Count on 9 theme and a rare look at this era of the station: WJCL in 1982 with commercials and a news open at 12 minutes in: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
