Samantha 2878 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 This is a rarity: two WCCO news updates on KLGT from 1994. KLGT later aired part of the short-lived "News of Your Choice" experiment from WCCO. The voiceover in the intro also did KLGT's IDs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Viewer 319 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 From Tampa/St. Pete, some kinda rare footage from WTSP before longtime anchor John Wilson departed for WTVT. Co-anchor Sheryl Browne also left that year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10Viewer 319 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Tampa/St. Pete news previews from 1983. The first from WTSP, which had a very dull (newsroom?) set going. This does confirm their "Stay in Touch with 10" theme did start in 1983: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=Nt2f-PgTIac;m=8;s=36 This one from WXFL and the legendary Bill Ratliff at the anchor desk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=p8LDq0wNj28;m=9;s=7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Info Junkie 1285 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 This does confirm their "Stay in Touch with 10" theme did start in 1983: Speaking of that, I'm really shocked that there isn't anything really from the "Take a Look" era of WTSP (1979-83). The only known footage of 10 from that era is this 8-second clip from early 1983 about Jon Crane's arrival: If you listen closely you can hear Take a Look in the background. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Viewer 319 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Alan Henry, who was president of Gulf Broadcast Group and oversaw WTSP's turnaround in that era, dedicated an entire chapter of a book about his career to WTSP and what a "dog" WLCY-TV was and how the Rahall's had the worst reputation in broadcast TV. The new ownership invested a ton of money turning around the station. He said that they invested in a first class image for the station's on-air look. I'd love to see the opens/image promos. But I can't get over how spartan their set was! I think the "newsroom" is actually fake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About WTSP and the Stay In Touch with 10 campaign, there is an open on YT from January 1983, the week of Super Bowl XVII which was erroneously marked as 1985 that had SITW10, so it's possible they were in a transition with themes just like WXFL was in early Fall 1985 when they were transitioning to Power News and their Editorials still had TSoTB graphics and theme.
