This one is so good, you'll have to view it more than once.

 

Amazing movie open. Hope movie opens are allowed on this thread!

Considering that the theme carries the signature of their news package, I'd count it.

 

Meanwhile, KALB in 1992...the start year for Advantage moves even further back. Note one of the anchors here - Steve Coco

further south in Lafayette.

WTOL 1992

 

You can really see the TVbD influence in this one, especially in some elements that were pretty much recycled verbatim from their previous graphics (e.g. the talent shots).

 

WATE in 1990 (I think that's David Kaye doing the VO)

 

That definitely isn't him - compare his work for WBBH in the same timeframe.

hey I'm in need to finding a video about khj. the video used to be about how khj became kcal with "probably" its last newscast before the switch (which also included the promo kcal used back in the early 90s). does anyone still have that video, or is the video considered lost?

ITN celebrates 50 years of News at Ten - one of my all-time favorite programs.

 

Special original closing theme

 

Recorded by yours truly in elementary school - w/Alastair Burnet and Alastair Stewart

 

By the way, that interview with Trevor McDonald features cameos from some ITN greats - Sandy Gall, John Suchet, Carol Barnes and Michael Nicholson.

I recently came across some rare footage from WCYB-TV in the form of a news break. This aired in 1979 and the news break begins at 0:33 with Alan Byrne. An ID is seen at 3:03. Talk about the rarest footage I have seen. Here's hoping we see some more Tri-Cities news footage from this period soon.

I have a YouTube channel similar to identchannel, where I post Ident histories of TV Stations. Some stations I've used are the same as identchannel, but I do have some different ones, including:

Nothing makes me happy like a hearing a classic. Dan Dean's KOMO News 4 theme especially the promo at the beginning of clip. All I wanted to hear is the full theme rather than just a NMSA sample. If anyone, ANYONE has it, please...dm if you can. I had an interaction a while back who has the KOMO and KING cds from Dan Dean. I asked him to send the mp3 files to no avail. I'll probably try again. Man, didn't Fisher's KOMO had soul or what? (Case can made same for Bullett/Belo's KING)

This was taken from KOTV in Tulsa during its "KOTV 6 News" era. A couple highlights include a promo for Clayton Vaughn and Karen Carlsen (at 23:55), a weather bulletin at 11:35, and a Ragu commercial at 41:12 voiced by Doug Paul.

 

YouTuber munecojim has a lot of Guiding Light episodes from KOTV on his channel, besides this one.
