The oldest newscast on file at KTRK — August 23, 1978:

 

 

They've been adding a fair amount of vintage material in the recent past. Some are parts of newscasts while others are the full ones... minus the close in some cases.

 

5/11/1976 - The infamous ammonia cloud in Southwest Houston

 

2/2/1980 - Clips from a weekend newscast

 

5/15/1980 - The Late Report

 

5/16/1980 - Live at Five

A KTVU report from presumably December 1988 by anchor Elaine Corral on Pixar's third annual Christmas party, after which she roasts Pixar laser scanner technician Don Conway. Pressing play will take you right to this report, which is part of a compilation of videos made for Pixar's 1988 Christmas party, which appears on the recently-uploaded DVD titled Made in Point Richmond.

Another from KTRK...

 

Clip is split between a 6 PM Saturday Newscast from 5/24/1986 & half of a 6 PM weekday newscast from 4/25/1986

 

They must have one of us as an intern this summer posting these 'on this day in x' newscasts. Great stuff.

Argentinian TV news clips from Thursday, February 26, 1998, the day after the band Los Fabulosos Cadillacs won a Grammy award.

I'm posting this because at the beginning of each video there are pieces of the graphic packages of the newscasts.

 

Canal 13

 

Telefe

 

América 2

I am posting this, because this is some of the rarest clips of KXAS you'll ever find.

 

 

News opens from 1984 are at :14 and 1:19. The opens feature an unknown theme and some amazing graphics used during the final years of "Action News."

 

But that's not all. Jack Trammell's YouTube channel also has this rare video from KFDX.

 

 

News open can be seen at 5:56.

 

And this...

 

 

News open can be seen at 8:06. KFDX used Tap Root Manuscript during the 1980s.

 

Oh and one more...

 

 

News open with ID can be seen at 9:56.
