ToriElectra 291 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 At 34:47, a news open voiced by Charlie Tuna! Odd seeing that right after I heard of his passing. You mean, the Charlie Tuna who announced Scrabble with Chuck Woolery? No way! He died? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnoxvilleTVFan 286 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I recently came across a rare piece of video uploaded by luis maria lopez on YouTube. The video is of a demo reel done by the uploader of this video from 1985 to 1987. If you go to :58 into the video, you'll witness what may very well be a KTVW news open from around that period. The theme heard was also used on WLOX, WWLP and even WTRF. Â 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2878 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 That is most definitely the open.  In fact, look at 0:49. He lists himself as producing and editing — the "Local News Open" (Apertura del Noticiero Local — that is the first item), channel promotions and an Arizona gubernatorial debate.  It's a really cool open too. The helicopter roll at 1:08 transitions into images of Tucson, which I want to point out as it may not be immediately noticeable to someone from out of state. KTVW signed on with a translator in Tucson (still has one) and since then Arizona has always had statewide Spanish-language newscasts.  Some of those nature aerial shots look like images KOOL/KTSP used in their early- and mid-80s opens.  At 13:30 is a station profile that might also be of interest.  You've made my night! When I saw the KLUZ stuff I really was thinking "I wish we had more old KTVW". And now we do!  As for the theme, the earliest I know of it being used was WANE in 1987. The open is probably from 1986.  ——————  Not nearly as spectacular, but something never seen before, and unfortunately our uploader needs a capture card. WTRF in 1991 with those 80s stock animations, the CBS 1989 affiliate package, and the newscast title of "The News":  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sZFbL1DMso  This 40th anniversary show also has a snippet of their mid-80s open at about 20:20 in:  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2878 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 A bit different, too, no projecting the "News 3" logo over the set but instead over a still of Norfolk at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBC5NewsUnova 65 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 KLUZ (!!) news promos from 1993.

Â For those curious, here's some of their promos: Â 1994: Â 1995: Â 1996: Â I've heard from the uploader that KLUZ was once owned by Univision before being sold to Entravision in around 1998 or 1999. This explains why KLUZ had the Univision O&O opening graphics from the late 90s, early 2000s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ntropolis 593 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Another newscast from WAVY-TV's archive; this time from October 4, 1983 Â Okay, hearing the bumper/close music in the clear proves to me that WAVY 1982 = Tuesday2. As if KGTV just so happening to use it at the same time wasn't enough evidence... Â I just remember I had this... I pulled it from an old Harborfest newscast WAVY had on their website a few years ago. This is a longer sample of the bumper theme that sounds like "Tuesday2" (it probably is) Â https://www.dropbox.com/s/ff0b2abp4xcu937/wavy%201982%20theme.mp3?dl=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesapeakeTV 310 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Yeah, that's definitely Tuesday2. Ties in with the end of the NMSA sample (0:50 on) and has the right instrumentation. Nice find, thanks for that sample! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2878 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Most definitely. The ending there was even used in some promos which are somewhere in the NA3 collection that ended "The Daily News, the difference between night and day". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PanchamBro 19 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 From SkittlesMan's channel; here WTKR's September 12, 1986 News 3 at Noon (I think Glenn {Corillo} Corey and Ann Keffer were noon anchors at some point in their tenure at 'TKR). This might be the earliest clip I've seen their "Discover the Land of the 3" theme used (different, more synth-heavy cut than the version in the 1989 newscast I uploaded a while back) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrASY7XMyr8 Â The video is gone, does anyone still have it?

promoguy98 252 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 SUPER RARE 1997-98 Birmingham, AL Video!! Â See the radical transition from WBMG 42 to WIAT 42 Daily News, which included blowing up all newscasts/branding. The video shows everything from how much viewers hated the old station, to the transitional countdown clock that ran in place of newscasts, to the new launch of WIAT Daily News... It may be worth someone "saving" this video in case it's ever unavailable. Â Â Plus, here's a story from April 1998 from the American Journalism Review. http://ajrarchive.org/Article.asp?id=2317 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
