TheRob 918 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I found this at the end of a tape this week: KMBC from 1989. Don't all of us wish we had perfect anchor hair? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Viewer 319 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 More Irv Weinstein tribute, from the first buffalo edition of p.m. magazine 1979 Does anybody know what WIVB was using, theme-wise? Their station tagline "and that's why we're 4" at 10:05 is interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Viewer 319 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Not many WOWK clips out there, but this is pretty good. They apparently tried a Charleston-Huntington split newscast a la WSAZ: Interesting theme. The theme from the 1993 clips on YT sound similar...

Samantha 2873 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 That theme is good... The graphics were very obviously done by the same group that did redesigns for sister stations WBNG and WTAJ around that time as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bixpchiphead 105 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Does anybody know what WIVB was using, theme-wise? Their station tagline "and that's why we're 4" at 10:05 is interesting. the "we're 4" was a nod to the station's new call letters (The former WBEN-TV) W we're IV Four B Buffalo No sign of the Klein& campaign.... Now the news music that was being used at this time was Mayoham's "Bringing it home to You". As an aside, that meant that for a time in the late 70's the Niagara Frontier's big 3 tv stations were using Mayoham packages. (KB Move Closer, 'GR Part of You Life, and the aforementioned 'IVB package). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compubit 670 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 As we close out the year (and close in on the 20th anniversary of the "end" of KNWS/51 in Houston - the final full newscast was January 2, 1998), I'm throwing out a few "newscasts from the beyond grave" - newscasts from stations no longer airing in-house newscasts. Enjoy!

It has a treasure trove of South Florida TV clips (most of which seem to be from the master copies!) that are really worth checking out.

Here is another promo from the same time period for the same doppler.
