WAVY 10 Fan 232 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Surprised this hasn't been brought up yet, also from the FuzzyMemories channel; an almost-complete NBC News Special Report (interrupting the network television premiere of the 1976 King Kong movie) where President Carter, Egyptian President Anwar el-Sadat and Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin returned from Camp David following the successful peace negotiations between Egypt and Israel. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrabbleship 427 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 With WNYT's vintage set finally meeting its end, some vintage WNYT. On May 31, 1998, a series of tornadoes hit the suburban town of Stillwater and an archival tape of news coverage made by the town in its wake made its way to YouTube. Most of this is WNYT though there are bits and pieces of WRGB and WXXA strewn about. If you're looking for peak WNYT, this video has it: Ed Dague being Ed Dague. John Gray before his ego got the best of him. Chris Kapostasy weeks before her departure for NBC News. A very young Kumi Tucker and a treat for the Hampton Roads crowd: pre-meteorologist Julie Wilcox before Hubbard screwed her over. Enjoy! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhratbrat 423 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 [MEDIA=vimeo]247424634[/MEDIA] I have to give it to compubit on this find. A custom KTRK close in 95 Shern Min and Larry Audas still at KPRC with the V1 Hometown News look in 1995 Fran and Mike on the evening news of KRIV Plus the last little bit with Bill and Jan Carson (shocked she was still at the station in 1995) for the Rodeo with another custom cut of Hometown News Plus on this one: [MEDIA=vimeo]249612960[/MEDIA] KPRC noon newscast anchored by Emily Akin, who was the stations consumer reporter. I think this is one of if not the only times she anchored a newscast 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2873 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 A surprisingly good news theme (given the underwhelming open) from the early '90s in Edmonton: Can someone identify this? I think it might be KCTZ's news theme from 1992: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=MwVwRLFX1hQ;t=232 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bixpchiphead 105 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 This is about the fifth set I've seen that has the girders, the monitor banks, the rounded desk, etc. The most infamous one would be KNXV's "spaceship" set, and I've seen similar ones in use at WGNX (during the late indie/early CBS era), WOIO/WUAB (during the "Cleveland Television News" period), and maybe a couple others. Does anybody know who designed all these sets? WISN TV also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikePulse 315 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) New from Radioman: October 1990: The Briarcliff Mansion (otherwise known as WAGA) puts on a new news set for Eyewitness News. While the opening was clipped, everything to the close - in all its early 90’s sluttiness - is there. New Years Eve 1993: The last of John Pruitt on 11Alive (it was that weird period when the Alive was out). Note he didn’t say retirement - he said resignation. The exact phrase: “The day will come when ”. Edited November 23, 2018 by MikePulse 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAGA was one of many TV stations out there that would use new opens for each year - the period from 1977 to 1981 had several different ones! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrabbleship 427 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 A Halloween impersonation prank from WNYT, 2001. This gives a rare glimpse into their former secondary set, eventually disused in 2004 but with the backdrop recycled for their temporary set currently in use. This video began a tradition of goofy Halloween closes at the station which continues to this day 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared DiCarlo 53 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 A video that used to be on ClipSyndicate until sometime last year. It’s about WNYT’s 50th anniversary. I thought I would post it here given the occasion of the set being replaced. And here’s another one, featuring Bill Lambdin as the reporter. He retired in August 2014. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrabbleship 427 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 A video that used to be on ClipSyndicate until sometime last year. It’s about WNYT’s 50th anniversary. I thought I would post it here given the occasion of the set being replaced. And here’s another one, featuring Bill Lambdin as the reporter. He retired in August 2014. Both of these have lingered on the Internet Archive for some time as back in the day WNYT's video was downloadable in .WMV format. The 50th Anniversary was treated as a bigger deal by the morning crew as I remember Phil & Paul having Wayne White (the engineer in said video, who stayed until a year short of his 2015 death) live in studio and at least one other old clip being played. That lost dog story seems to be superfluous on the surface but anyone familiar with the area knows it was a big deal. John Nigro, the pet parent in question, is a major developer of retail properties in upstate New York and while anyone with the means would do that it seemed a little over the top. Also, the graphics blatantly showed that WNYT produced said ad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
