Classic Video Thread (pre-2008)

I clicked on the link to the E.Q. site and for some reason the Broadcast Package Samples and Animation Demo and they didn’t show up.

 

Also they said their first client was WFAA - was this a one-off package or are they talking about this?

 

It's an old enough site that you will need to enable Flash.

 

As I look at the WFAA open, I can totally see a few Vance-y elements of it, especially those letterboxes.

Some KOBR material from 1994.

 

Here's a promo:

 

 

Here's a story. Keep in mind while watching, THE YEAR IS 1994.

 

 

Here's a potpourri of other stuff:

Lots of rare stuff from a new channel I just found:

A WMBD promo from 1983 for the debut it's version of Newscope, along with some ids:

And a promo from 1997, just after they changed to the Media General style graphics:

A rare news promo from WBLN (now WYZZ), yes Channel 43 had news back then, and yes, there was a station using the NewsChannel name before KTVK!

A weak quality (multi-generation and poor reception) promo from WAFF in 1981, heralding the arrival Tom Kennemer & Missy Ming from WHNT:

And a promo plus afternoon update from WEEK from early 1985.

Keep an eye on this channel, I have a hunch this is just the beginning!
