Despite the title, this is actually a news open. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bB3zXFOZqOs There are other videos of the station on the YouTube channel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAVY 10 Fan 232 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 WVEC from 1988... including an 11pm open I've never seen before! I think this open was used from 1988-1990 Just saw it and was about to post that video as well (the cut of Turn to News used here sounds like the "standard" version instead of what WVEC used before and after this period).

ChesapeakeTV 310 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 It certainly seems like it...complete with a cut of the We've Got The Touch package I certainly wouldn't have expected to hear in a news context. Speaking of WWNY, this little ditty of a theme ducked under the radar... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aj_JG1PrGb0 These graphics were also used with two years earlier...and it's pretty obvious here that they were designed around that theme.

ChesapeakeTV 310 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 The irony is that clips that say they're in 50/60 FPS and are actually in 50/60 FPS are incredibly rare. That Zeit im Bild montage is a good example - most, if not all of the actual videos are in 30 FPS... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of Flint, where is this WNEM 1986 close from? (They went and trimmed out the open, of course.) Sounds like the VTS "Looking Out For You" pack to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=N5ZubvXeyn4;t=830 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've seen the matching 10pm open before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upcRzXef-2g Never saw that before. It also make you wonder when exactly in 1988 they decided to ditch that set and decamp to the newsroom until the UPN era (I've heard it's because they needed studio space for things like Steampipe Alley).

PelicanGuy 117 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Found this newscast from November 1980...right after the election that Reagan won. Check out the open. Never heard nor seen that open before. I did send it to NMSA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChesapeakeTV 310 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Remember ? And featuring the corresponding open? Said open has surfaced in the clear - even during a strike against the station, no less. The channel also has from WTVJ, also in 1980.
