Samantha 2873 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 That's not Classical Gas, it appears to be a custom composition for an image campaign "Get the Action Spirit". The theme line is "Get the Action Spirit, Action 6". In fact, the theme was brand new. Here's a promo with it from two weeks prior: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always buying tapes from online, flea markets, thrift stores or garage sales so if I stumble upon that era or any other rare era from any other station, I'll upload them. Meanwhile, here's another batch of videos that I just uploaded today including a KTTV open that I've never seen before. Not news but here's some WTSP Station IDs from the "Enjoy It. We Do." era. https://youtu.be/s3p1TkVIWfs https://youtu.be/FboW_S7L-lE https://youtu.be/e_OyRrmXa38 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2873 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 The KXTV 1999 open is interesting. Had no idea they branded as "Spirit of the West". Like the graphics and everything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnoxvilleTVFan 285 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) No news opens featured, but a couple stories about Ronnie Speeks, a local East Tennessee singer and Elvis tribute artist Ronnie Speeks. Featured at 2:07 is anchor Elisa Jaffe who would go on to host a local show on KOMO for a number of years. FYI: Elisa Jaffe's first television job was at WATE-TV, Knoxville in the 1980s and on her Facebook page, she shares a photo collage of her time at WATE. But wait...there's more. Here is a rare look at Idaho television news at the end of the decade with a full KBCI newscast. It features an interesting "Action News" logo and *NEWS OPEN*. The year: 1979. You may notice longtime WLEX news anchor Alan Cutler in the sports anchor chair. This was one of his earlier gigs before hitting it big in Lexington, KY at WLEX-TV. Now, wait just a minute...we have another sighting. This time, from KBYU-TV, the PBS station. Their newscasts were known as "Newsroom 11" and their theme: Bob James' "The Golden Apple." Not too long after the newscast was recorded, their newscast became...."Weeknight." Edited February 7, 2019 by KnoxvilleTVFan Added a rare PBS local newscast from 1979. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've done it again! I'm eagarly awaiting you uploading anything from Tallahassee or Panama City! BTW, the KIVI open would've been to a 5pm or 5:30 newscast, since they aired Wheel of Fortune at 6:30pm back then (it formerly and now airs on KBOI-TV).

Samantha 2873 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 That KTVB 5pm news set needed help — it looks to be a bit dated even for 1996 and hadn't been updated like their main one at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Info Junkie 1285 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 It appears a guy named “kyndle hewitt” has jumped on the news open bandwagon - they are doing compilations for pretty much all the Raycom/Gray stations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2873 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Coverage of the death of Fahey Flynn in 1983, from WLS and WBBM where he worked. There's also some coverage (local and national) of Christine Craft winning her discrimination lawsuit against KMBC, which happened the same day. Joel Daly actually appeared on WLS while on vacation in Spokane: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've recently spoke with a YT user who reached out to Dan Dean years ago + he lended the user all the CDs of his work + those of KING + KCPQ if i'm not mistaken. He still got 'em + I'll track down to see if he'll transfer some mp3 files for a listen. His KOMO '91-98 work is a classic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWUpdate 1290 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) OK, I admit it: I like this `'74 promo for the NBC Nightly News. Its overall feel is cheesily optimistic in that 1970s way, but it's also a nice reminder of an era when news promos could be artistically creative and executives weren't scared to death of confusing the mass audience: Edited February 11, 2019 by WWUpdate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
