[QUOTE="Info Junkie, post: 217483, member: 3593"]@Ramona When in ‘95 did KPHO debut its final “Arizona 5” logo and News on the Hour? It definitely was after December 1994, but there’s no material on YouTube from 1995 for KPHO: Plus what’s laughable is how modern their “Fresh News” graphics looked yet their quality and news presentation was so dated and done to death.[/QUOTE] Probably September 11, 1995, when the set is known to have debuted. That was also when Seinfeld replaced MASH as the 10:05 show on KPHO. (The station had bought the syndication rights before CBS entered the picture.)

WVUE New Orleans (then-ABC) 10 pm news tease from 6/17/1988:

 

Looks like ewjxn’s now doing New Orleans as his Phoenix archive has considerably died down...

 

And here are some updates to the WJLA open compilation - including some internet archive videos!

Wow, more Arizona news from 1995. This time, the story is the OJ verdict. At one point, KSAZ opts to cut to KTTV's coverage.

 

At 1:55:49, a brief feed loss reveals a CNN Newsource slate.

 

There's also coverage from some other outlets toward the end, including Hard Copy.

There's also coverage of other events from AZ here: the 1987 papal visit including the full Mass done at Sun Devil Angel Stadium, where they had to cover the "Devil" up at the Pope's request!

 

 

and a 1997 Motley Crue concert that featured a riot. This is late 1997 — note the "NEWS" in the Fox 10 News logo now stretches the width of the logo.

At 2:16:16 in the OJ montage is a noon open - with that different VO guy KSAZ had at the time. I thought it was worth a repost:

 

The opens now have “Spirit of Arizona” replaced with “Coverage You Can Count On.” And wow, Chicago weatherman Steve Deshler worked at KSAZ?

A triple play of Oklahoma City newscasts from Walker Brown's YT channel:

 

First, a May 20, 1998, broadcast of KOKH's 9:00 p.m. newscast (then titled The Nine O'Clock News), nearly ten months after the newscast had expanded to an hour (on August 4, 1997):

 

Second, the first ten minutes of the May 16, 1999, edition of KWTV's News 9 at 10:00:

 

...and finally, the first 17 minutes of KFOR's Oklahoma's NewsChannel 4 at 10:00 from October 3, 2002:

This is a really interesting hybrid look. I had always assumed that “Coverage You Can Count On" was introduced when "Channel 10 News" became "10 News," but your clip proves that this wasn't the case.

Did not see that noon open with the screeching bald eagle! I'm surprised it doesn't say "10 News", though. The "Channel 10 News" lockup at the front is a bit off model — the word "Channel" isn't compressed like in the rest of the package and it dominates the thing.

Yeah, somebody must've changed the animation (maybe because with the switch, they knew the Spirit of Arizona slogan wasn't gonna last much longer?). Not to mention the announcer, who isn't John B. Wells or Chris Corley-- whoever he is, he clearly didn't have much enthusiasm.

A WINK report from 1992 - I recall a news open from around this time from the station surface on this thread but can’t find it anywhere. I’m thinking of doing Fort Myers for news open compilations...

 

Also Susan Parks tells us what’s ahead on WTHR:

The VO isn't bad. He must have been on station staff at the time; years ago Jim Heath had a set of opens from fall '94 (independent period) and this was the voice they had, though those said "Spirit of Arizona".

 

The last thing we have yet to see in terms of opens would be maybe some more Arizona Prime and material from the "10 News" era, which was definitely an attempt to make the product Fox-ier. ctmikect used to have a news tease for their 4:30 newscast which he had as '95 but with this material must be '96 (it was the summer — one of the stories teased was keeping pets calm during monsoon season). That was the first time KSAZ had news in the 4:00 hour — it would be another 20+ years before they returned to the timeslot.

As they look ahead to their 70th anniversary next month, here's the WLS special from their 50th in September '98, featuring the gold standard anchor team in the history of Chicago; Drury, Burns, Magers, Brock, Krashesky, Yu, and Daly.
